You can match or filter on cgroup paths. Currently the match is only
done for version 2 cgroups because these are way simpler as they have
a unified name and always start with "0::".
cgroup v1 can have:
named groups "1:name=myspecialname:"
controllers "9:blkio:"
multiple controllers! "4:cpu,cpuacct:"
So they are very much more complicated from a options parsing and
cgroup matching point of view.
In addition, both my Debian bookworm and bullseye systems use
v2 cgroups.

This MR revisits a partial fix from 2018. The problem stems from incorrect
handling of unsigned 32-bit uid_ts and gid_ts as signed when values are
large - i.e. when the high bit is set. In that case, pgrep and pkill fail to
identify processes by uid. (They succeed when finding the same processes by
username.) The primary fix for this is to impliment the "FIXME" comment in
proc/readproc.h, the implementation of which allows the removal of the (int)
casts from the partial fix from 2018.
The other fixed code in this MR consists of tests in strict_atol() that
detects and errors out on overflows.

When multi-threading was introduced in the patch shown
below, the former calls to sigprocmask were traded for
a pthread_sigmask call. This was done unconditionally.
As a result, even when those threads weren't enabled a
need to link with libpthread was created. In hindsight
the need should only arise when top is multi-threaded.
This commit will make pthread_sigmask use conditional.

Even though we we had to abandon the master branch top
multi-thread effort and even though the newlib version
of a multi-threaded top provides no real benefit, that
whole exercise was not wasted. Rather, it has revealed
some deficiencies in our library which this addresses.
If two or more threads in the same address space tried
to use procps_loadavg or procps_uptime simultaneously,
there's a chance they would experience problems due to
thread-unsafe functions our library called internally.
So, this patch switches them for thread-safe versions.

When that 'F' focus command has been applied to a task
in forest view it should remain as the topmost process
in a particular window. But without this patch that is
not guaranteed. Newly forked/cloned tasks 'above' such
a process result in task(s) appearing which shouldn't.
The effect was as if that up arrow key scrolled beyond
the topmost parent task, which would never be allowed.
[ since scrolling is permitted within a focus range, ]
[ when any task 'above' our focus/topmost task ends, ]
[ we respond as if scrolled with the down arrow key. ]
[ that result is completely appropriate. if the user ]
[ wishes to return to a focused parent, the up arrow ]
[ or home key can be used to accomplish such a goal. ]

Rather than having those 3 separate background threads
enabled by default, we'll turn them off until somebody
chooses to activate them. That seems more appropriate.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
After the stage had been set in the previous patch, in
this patch we will actually implement those background
updates via 3 separate threads. The design was simple:
. the do-while loops have now been made truly infinite
. 2 semaphores per thread allow needed synchronization
. 1 semaphore will provide for each thread to sem_wait
. 1 semaphore will provide for display o/p to sem_wait
. and all 3 thread's program name was made descriptive
A complication was the potential for a signal directed
to one of our new threads. Rather than having a thread
try to deal with such signals, we pass a mask with all
signals blocked at pthread_create time. Thereafter any
subsequent signals are forwarded to the parent thread.
[ also sigprocmask was exchanged for pthread_sigmask ]
[ since warned about use "in multithreaded process". ]
[ plus we also modified each of those POSIX comments ]
[ about 2004 to agree with current signal-safety(7). ]
Sadly, after all this effort there were no performance
benefits to having separate threads. In fact there was
a measurable performance degradation when running with
ever smaller delay intervals. But even with a delay of
1/10 second the 'real' cost increase is only about 1%.
There is one way whereby any additional costs might be
eliminated (at least seemingly). One could introduce 2
separate sets of contexts for each of those 3 threads.
Then retrieval & display could be overlapped. However,
the resulting display wouldn't represent the real-time
results. Rather it would be stale by 1 delay interval.

This commit sets the stage for turning three functions
into code that can support a separate thread to update
their respective data while working in the background.
It involved relocating 1 function, renaming 2 routines
and adding parameters plus return addresses to each of
three functions. Those latter changes will be required
when issuing 'pthread_create' calls in the next patch.
The final step was organizing this code into what will
become the infinite do-while loop supporting a thread.

The master branch top is pretty well insulated against
signal-unsafe function calls during end-of-job action.
However, this newlib branch top had exposed himself to
a bunch of such unsafe activity in the form of 'unref'
function calls to the new library. In those guys there
will be several 'free' invocations which are not safe.
So, this commit will simply correct such an oversight.

For quite some time now, top has stood out like a sore
thumb regarding the approach to cmdline options & help
text. Only short options were used and that same help
text was displayed for '-h' (help) plus 'v' (version).
[ also, top 'rolled his own' when it came to parsing ]
[ options while avoiding that getopt implementation. ]
Well, with this commit all of that has changed and top
now has added a long form of his options. Additionally
he employs getopt_long() for the bulk of that parsing.
[ however, top will still avoid separate fputs calls ]
[ characteristic of other procps-ng programs when it ]
[ comes to help. rather all such text is one string. ]
Along the way, the following major getopt deficiencies
were addressed, assuming the absence of a new #define:
* an equals sign ('=') is allowed on both option forms
* whitespace is allowed before & after the equals sign
* optional arguments needn't abut their related option
for short form nor is an '=' required with either form

Ever since 2003, the 'listed_nextpid' routine has been
misrepresenting its duties. Far from finding processes
in a list given to openproc, it just inserted the next
pid in that list into the passed proc_t as BOTH a tgid
and tid. There was no attempt to validate such values.
The net result is that tid & tgid were valid only with
a thread group leader. When called with a pid for some
sibling thread, the resulting tgid would be incorrect.
With this commit, our little function will now attempt
to validate both the tid and tgid. If this should fail
then the fallback position will be the same as what we
inherited. So we're no worse off & likely much better.
[ note that calling the function with a thread's pid ]
[ likely stems from 2011 when a 'readeither' routine ]
[ was added which dealt with both tasks and threads! ]
