4bd0e539af ps: sort by cgroup
A rather small fix to sort by cgroup. This sorting function
could be used for other string vector entries, but I can't
see why you want to for, say, environment.

57396ae39d build-sys: Update Library Version
procps v3.3.11 will bring Library API 5:0:0
The reason for the change is the removal of some calls and
the addition of others. The newlib branch should hopefully
reset some of these changes to a much slower pace.

fd007d6d1d free: Parse -s option correctly.
If the -s option was the first option on the command line, free
would report seconds argument failed. This only appeared on the
Debian free, not the one in git.

Closer examination revealed that if a valid float string is
given to strtof() it doesn't set errno to 0, but just leaves it
alone. As we are explicitly testing errno for overflows, this
means the previous errno change is picked up here.

The simple answer is to set errno to 0 before calling strtof().

313f936739 ps: enable sort by etimes
ps has two columns showing the same data which is elapsed time, just
the format is changed:
 etimes - elapsed time in seconds
 etime  - elapsed time in DD-hh:mm:ss

ps used to only sort by etime but not etimes, by making etimes
and alias of etime for sorting both flags work.

92071e963e pmap: print process even if smaps unreadable
pmap would previously print the process name if
/proc/PID/smaps could be opened, even if subsequent
reads failed.  This actually occurs with other users
PIDs.

Kernel 3.18rc1 introduced a change where the file could
not been opened, meaning pmap -X 1 previously showed
the process name and nothing else but NOW shows nothing
make check failed because of this.

This change prints the process name even before trying to open
the file, returning it to previous behaviour.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for some analysis.

7610b3128e skill: fix command line with signal
If skill was used with a signal number then it would intepret
the command line with last option interpreted twice. This often
confused the program so it just would end up killing nothing.
So this would work:
skill -t pts/0
This would not:
skill -9 -t pts/0

The kill path (in the same file) uses the same logic that has
been introduced here.

8ef6cd91fc top: retire old stale startup defaults in favor of new
For over a decade top has used a startup configuration
mimicking the original redhat top. This decision dates
back to when the forked Sourceforge version was trying
to win over users in battles with that ancient kludge.

Will anybody deny that those defaults are coyote ugly?

Well, it is time that top presented a more modern look
at startup, providing that no saved rcfile exists. But
just in case some distro prefers that old, comfortable
look, there's the '--disable-modern-top' build option.

[ Pssst. With the widened memory fields it turns out ]
[ the 'Mem' default window had become almost useless ]
[ on an 80x24 terminal since %CPU & COMMAND were out ]
[ of view. So some other defaults were tweaked a bit ]
[ whether or not --disable-modern-top was specified. ]

2199af404a top: maximize recent locale aware numeric enhancements
When startup argument parsing was recently enhanced to
account for LC_NUMERIC settings, some user input logic
dealing with numbers fails to exploit that capability.

This patch extends such enhancements to a running top.

d06aaaaf2b ps: ignore SIGCONT
SIGCONT is a continue signal.  It seems that some zsh setups can send
this signal, causing ps to abort.  This is not what "continue" means.
This change just uses the default handler which will continue a stopped
process.

0fe393ff27 top: inoculated against a window manager like 'screen'
If top were invoked under the 'screen' window manager,
writing the terminfo string 'exit_ca_mode' at top exit
would not restore the display to the state existing at
the time top was started. That's what occurs normally.
The net result of that failure was a corrupted screen.

However, there is a 'screen' configuration option that
will produce proper 'rmcup' behavior, but it is off by
default. That screencr option is known as 'altscreen'.
I stumbled across this provision by cloning the screen
git repository then searching for references to 'cup'.

If 'altscreen on' had been in either the /etc/screenrc
or the $HOME/.screenrc configuration file, my poor old
top would never have been accused of such corruptions.
Of course, the Programming Gods decree that any simple
solution for our problem must always be revealed last.

So before discovering that rc option, another approach
was taken involving top only. With just a little extra
refactoring of top display logic he was made immune to
any such quirk in the implementation of 'smcup/rmcup'.

I always feel good about any enhancement that actually
reduces the total number of lines of code. Even though
this change involved mostly rearranging some logic, it
yielded one less line (can't judge by diffstat because
of braces & notes). Anyway, rather than requiring some
change to a screenrc file, now we are self-sufficient.
