8e7ef322e2 Update help files
Benno Schulenberg suggested some changes to the help messages
to provide some consistency and clarity for both the users and
translators of procps.

The test needed to be updated as the pmap output changed too.

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.

8a38cd5eb4 Split help lines to help translators
To assist translators, the help lines are split so that each translation
chunk has one option. This gives bonus of if we add or change an option,
only that option remains untranslated rather than the entire help block.

d66ed3350e ps: possibility to display slice unit for a process
Library systemd-login offers possibility to display
name of a systemd slice unit for specific pid.

This patch adds output option "slice" which will
show name of systemd slice unit.

To maintain compatibility with non-systemd systems,
procps must be configured with --with-systemd option
to enable this option.

7c4894dd22 ps: address a potential 'newline' quirk the libselinux
Sometimes with libselinux present but SELinux inactive
the context reported is "unconfined" which contains an
embedded newline. This then causes misalignment of any
subsequent data. So, ps will now protect against that.

5f663aee47 ps: making the libselinux support configurable
Previously the libselinux support was present
in the sources, but disabled with a preprocessor
condition (#if 0).
From now the libselinux support can be enabled with
the --enable-libselinux switch available
in the configuration script. That way is more
flexible than local patches modifying the condition
value from 0 to 1.

fe75e26ab6 miscellaneous: clean up trailing whitespace throughout
The entire tree's polluted with inappropriate trailing
whitespace. This commit rids our environment of all of
those useless keystrokes. Unfortunately, it sure ain't
a permanent solution and requires every contributor to
instruct their editor(s) to prevent or eliminate them.

Plus it's strongly recommended we all insert something
like what's shown below to our '.gitconfig' file so as
to provide at least some warnings when we try to apply
any patches (git am) that do contain the #@!%& things!

c1f10d11bc Allow core file generation by ps command (rhbz#871825, rhbz#512857)
Since the ps command handles signals with it's own handler, it doesn't create
core files when something wrong happens. The attached patch restores the ps
command ability to create core files by calling the default handler once we
print our custom message. The original RH's workaround masked SIGABRT and
SIGSEGV signals and that would conflict with the original intention of the
custom signal handler and also with the filtering patch I sent in my previous
email. Moreover, this solution generates core for all relevant signals (SIGFPE,
etc.).

a65de0fd73 ps: favor truncation of long names over POSIX/UNIX standard
The UNIX and POSIX standards require that user and
group names be printed as decimal integers when there
is insufficient room.  This has led to a constant
stream of bug reports.

With this commit, long names will be truncated and
displayed with a trailing visual clue.

To avoid truncation. the UNIX and POSIX way to change
column width is to rename the column:
   ps -o pid,user=CumbersomeUserNames -o comm

The easy way is to directly specify the desired width:
   ps -o pid,user:19,comm

f4b6de1136 ps: restore missing space when environment is displayed
This commit restores the missing space between command
lines and the environment when the later is being
displayed.  Below is a brief history of that elusive
character.

commit bb4f08ba29
Date:   Thu Aug 11 07:42:14 2011 +1000
   The ps program was altered for improved args/comm
   compliance.  At this time, the needed space was
   present due to a buglet in the new library
   read_unvectored function used by fill_cmdline_cvt.

commit a5881b5a4e
Date:   Thu Dec 8 10:19:38 2011 -0600
   The trailing space was eliminated so that the
   file2strvec and fill_cmdline_cvt returned
   command lines contained no trailing space.

   However, this created a buglet when control group
   hierarchies were displayed and the final cgroup
   was empty.

   This is also where the undetected ps buglet was
   created.

commit c3a1239efe
Date:   Sun Dec 11 12:00:50 2011 -0600
   The control group anomaly was fixed but the impact
   on ps args/environ was still not detected.

2bac5334b0 ps: display the nice value for processes with the SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy
Ps command does not display the nice value for processes with the SCHED_BATCH
scheduler policy, only for SCHED_OTHER.

Boinc (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) client runs project processing jobs on
Linux using SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy and nice value 19.  The nice value
is not displayable by ps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run process using SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy with nice value.
    ./test-schedbatch 18 &
2. Display process details:
    ps -o pid,ppid,user,comm,cls,nice

Results before:
[mike@rockover c]$ ps -o pid,ppid,user,comm,cls,nice
  PID  PPID USER     COMMAND         CLS  NI
18205  2540 mike     bash             TS   0

20553 18205 mike     ps               TS   0
[mike@rockover c]$ awk '{printf "%5d %-17s %1d %2d\n", $1, $2, $41, $19}'
/proc/20552/stat
20552 (test-schedbatch) 3 18

Results after this patch:
[mike@rockover c]$ ps -o pid,ppid,user,comm,cls,nice
  PID  PPID USER     COMMAND         CLS  NI
18205  2540 mike     bash             TS   0
20552 18205 mike     test-schedbatch   B  18
20553 18205 mike     ps               TS   0

Additional info: Here is the fragment from the sched_setscheduler(2) manual
page on the subject:

   SCHED_BATCH: Scheduling batch processes
       (Since  Linux 2.6.16.)  SCHED_BATCH can only be used at static
       priority 0.  This policy is similar to SCHED_OTHER in that it
       schedules the process according to its dynamic priority (based on the
       nice value).  The difference is that this policy will cause the
       scheduler to always assume that the process is CPU-intensive.
       Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling penalty with
       respect to wakeup behaviour, so that this process is mildly disfavored
       in scheduling decisions.

       This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do
       not want to lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a
       determin- istic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra
       preemptions (between the workload's tasks).
