530d19f90f library <STAT>: exclude an #include for --disable-numa
When the numa stuff was imported from the top program,
that #include for dlopen() was not made conditional as
it should have been. Well, here it is being corrected.

7d20df9ef0 library: if the VAL type is wrong still return a value
Rather than return a 0 result for all VAL type errors,
return what would have been without validation active.

This will enable a program like pgrep to still print a
result even though it used some incorrect type member.

With this commit, our VAL macro validations logic will
behave in exactly the same way as the GET validations.
While warning messages may be issued, except for a bad
enumerator, values will always be returned to callers.

9f27e9d8d9 library: strengthen the VAL macro validation functions
One ought not to assume that random memory access will
always succeed or, when it does, that an obviously bad
item enumerator will always be found at that location.

Thus, this patch corrects some really poor assumptions
associated with the 'xtra_procps_debug.h' header file.

[ and it does so in somewhat contorted ways so as to ]
[ avoid several darn gcc -Wnonnull warning messages! ]

bef8c7fb70 library: ensure that all those 'GET' macros are robust
When users call the native 'get' functions they have a
responsibility to check that the result struct address
was indeed returned. But when using those 'GET' macros
there was no protection for possible NULL dereference.

So this patch will add some protection for a potential
failure of an underlying 'get' function. And should it
occur then those 'GET' macros will just return a zero.

Plus, we'll also mirror that behavior in the debugging
header should the XTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG #define be active.
And, we might as well add a warning when invalid items
are passed to 'GET' macros, just like we do for 'VAL'.

[ lastly, we added the missing opening parens/braces ]
[ to 2 'GET' macros in that xtra-procps-debug.h file ]
[ which went unnoticed until the qa folks caught up. ]

e3270d463d library: provide for validating result type references
During development, we now have a means for validating
that a type referenced in application code matches the
actual type set by the library. The new feature can be
activated through either of the following two methods:

1) ./configure CFLAGS='-DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG' (all pgms)

2) an #include <proc/xtra-procps-debug.h> (single pgm)

[ in the future, one could add a formal configure.ac ]
[ provision. but for now a manual approach is safer. ]

Lastly, for any module which provides a sort function,
the handling for both 'noop' & 'extra' enumerators was
made consistent. Now, 'noop' is not sorted and 'extra'
will be sorted as that module's widest supported type.

c4aa6c0ab4 library: normalize & minimize result types, <PIDS> api
This commit attempts to minimize the variety of types
currently used. Plus, the following were also changed:

. the MEM fields were switched to parallel the VM guys
. PIDS_MEM_VIRT -> PIDS_MEM_VIRT_PGS
. PIDS_MEM_VIRT_KIB -> PIDS_MEM_VIRT

. made NICE 's_int' so that it then parallels PRIORITY

. change RTPRIO & SCHED_CLASS from 'ul_int' to 's_int'

. removed Item_table 'oldflags' for an obsoleted field
. PIDS_WCHAN_ADDR

. added calculations like TICS_ALL_C for the following
. PIDS_TICS_USER_C
. PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM_C

. these three new 'TICS' fields have been incorporated
. PIDS_TICS_BLKIO - jiffies spent in block i/o
. PIDS_TICS_GUEST - jiffies spent as a guest
. PIDS_TICS_GUEST_C - as above, includes dead children

. that PIDS_TICS_DELTA was renamed PIDS_TICS_ALL_DELTA
( so it did not hide between TICS_BLKIO & TICS_GUEST )
( and to make clearer what's included: utime + stime )

. eliminated 'sl_int' entirely from that result struct

With this patch, all of the modules which offer a reap

now also provide for sorting whatever had been reaped.

It was easy to overlook a sort function for our <STAT>

find boxes with hundreds of CPUs plus many NUMA nodes.

c4d097c709 library: removed all the 'PROCPS_' enumerator prefixes
Many of our item enumerator identifiers are very long,
especially in that <VMSTAT> module. Additionally, they
all contain the exact same universal 'PROCPS_' prefix.

The origins for this are likely found in the desire to
avoid name clashes with other potential include files.
But with procps-ng newlib, we've probably gone way too
far. Did 'PROCPS_PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM' actually offer more
protection against clash than 'PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM' does?

I don't think so. Besides, no matter how big that name
becomes, one can never guarantee they'll never be some
clash. And, conversely, extremely short names will not
always create conflict. Of course, in either case when
some clash occurs, one can always #undef that problem.

Thus, this commit will eliminate that 'PROCPS_' prefix
making all of those enum identifiers a little shorter.
And, we'll still be well above some ridiculously short
(criminally short) names found in some common headers:

- - - - - - - - - - <term.h>
- 'tab', 'TTY', etc
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <search.h>
- 'ENTER', ENTRY', 'FIND', etc

------------------------------------------------------
Finally, with this as a last of the wholesale changes,
we will have established the naming conventions below:

. only functions will begin with that 'procps_' prefix
. exposed structures begin with the module/header name
. item enumerators begin like structs, but capitalized
. other enumerators work exactly like item enumerators
. macros and constants begin just like the enumerators

82d5661603 library: standardize all the 'context' structure names
This patch attempts to standardize the naming of those
most important (declared not defined) context structs.

The present practice represents a hodge podge of names
only some of which reflect the source /proc file name.
And 2 of those file names embed a literal 'info' which
is likely the origin of that required parm identifier.

Now we'll append a universal '_info' to such structure
names, while including the names of those /proc pseudo
files where possible. In any case, that context struct
will *always* begin with the actual module/header file
name. And only the following two sound a little weird!

---------> 'meminfo_info' + 'slabinfo_info' <---------

ecd64f4445 library: normalize/standardize an i/f, <DISKSTATS> api
This patch will bring this interface up to our 3rd gen
standards. The following summarizes the major changes.

* New delta provisions have been added to most fields.

There are, of course, some fields for which a delta is
inappropriate. They include the identifying items such
as name, type, major and minor. Plus the io_inprogress
field which already acts, in effect, as a delta value.

* To provide delta support, dev_node historical values
have become persistent. By the same token, the library
must provide for future removal of disks/partitions. A
timestamp is used to detect 'stale' data which will be
deleted so as not to satisfy some get, select or reap.

* Such persistent support is provided by a linked list
which, by default, grows from the bottom down so as to
maintain compatibility with the /proc/diskstats order.

Initially, I was tempted to use the GNU tsearch (tree)
provisions until I discovered the overhead of building
that tree plus costs of a subsequent 'twalk'. Besides,
walking such a tree means retrieval order would differ
from an order required/expected by the vmstat program.

* The '/sys/block' directory is no longer scanned with
every refresh cycle. Rather, it's only accessed when a
node is first encountered. Then, that node's 'type' is
persistent for its lifetime like several other fields.

* A sort provision was included, at virtually no cost,
even though such a provision was not currently needed.

c546d9dd44 library: recycle the QUICK_THREADS #define, <PIDS> api
That #define QUICK_THREADS was impossible to implement
under the new <pids> interface. Plus it was also found
to distort some thread information (referenced below).

So, it's always been inactive under the newlib branch.

However, it will (with small changes) still serve some
useful purpose in our library. Now, when the redefined
FALSE_THREADS is active, those special strings showing
"[ duplicate ENUM ]" will appear for any child thread.

Note: the real reason for such strings appearing isn't
being exercised, only their mechanics. In actual usage
they are substituted when a user duplicates such items
in a results stack & only the 1st instance can own it.

With this patch, we are simply fooling the <pids> code
into thinking an item was duplicated via a NULL value.

a6115bfff4 library: some tweaks to 2 file read functions, 3rd gen
Ever since their introduction, plus continuing through

However, that loop construct was wrong since identical
tests were already done (twice!) within each loop body
itself, then accompanied by its own 'break' statement.

So, we will now transform them both into forever loops
which will help us to emphasize such break statements.

f888a30d23 library: find tty device name of process quicker
The procps library attempts to work out the tty of a process
through several methods. For things like /dev/tty123 or
/dev/foo it works fine.

For tty devices that put the minor number in a directory
of the major name this fails. So then we have to fallback
to stating things like the processes STDERR and try again.

Considering a lot of processes sit on ttys such as
/dev/pts/3 this is a lot of wasted time. At the point of
entering driver_name we know "/dev/pts" and we know "3"
we just didn't join them up the right way as this is old
code.

This change now looks for /dev/pts/3 as well. It does it
after looking for /dev/pts3 so the behaviour is the same.

80ad63dc31 library: refactor exposed pointers management, 3rd gen
This commit brings all of those 'fetch' type functions
(supporting some form of 'reap') into closer alignment
with one another. The biggest impact is to be found in
the <stat> module, which now provides for the separate
copy of stack pointers which will be exposed to users.

The reason such a copy was not employed initially with
<stat>, unlike those for <pids> and <slabinfo>, is due
to the fact that such stacks were never sortable. Thus
the original raw consolidated extent pointers wouldn't
have been disturbed. But that meant no NULL delimiter.

So with this commit, all reap/fetch operations now use
pointer copies when returning results to callers. And,
all such arrays are now NULL delimited meaning callers
can choose their own access fencepost: totals or NULL.

380253ff7f library: more pids_fetch struct opaqueness, <PIDS> api
With all our 3rd generation interfaces, we're now well
positioned to preserve binary compatibility should new
fields be added to any public structure (assuming that
the 'result' union already contains its largest type).

This remains true even for the <pids> interface, which
unlike the others, has one structure embedded within a
separate struct rather than declaring a pointer to it.

The counts struct was positioned after the stacks ptrs
array so as to preserve that ABI if ever new ints were
added. Logically, however, the counts (especially that
total) should precede the stacks array if we wished to
properly place a horse (total) before a cart (stacks).

So to enable relocating those counts we will no longer
embed that structure, but provide a pointer to it. And
this will make accessing syntax feel more natural too.

92c72166db library: file now parsed with 'hsearch', <MEMINFO> api
After reviewing the hsearch code in glibc, performance
will almost certainly benefit from abandoning a strcmp
approach in favor of hashing, just like that <vmstat>.

[ As an aside, now having struggled toward that goal ]

[ possible, haven't we earned the rights to evaluate ]
[ other implementations? For example, GNU's hsearch? ]

[ We expose none of our 'info' struct details to the ]

[ right there in <search.h>. But worse, they require ]
[ the user to zero it out before 1st use. Jeeze, you ]

876ec555c3 library: final tweaks to code and/or comments, 3rd gen
With the dust now settling on all those 3rd generation
upgrades, this patch tries to provide some consistency
among the separate modules involved. Someday we should
consider a 4th generation where all redundant code has
been removed and isolated in a new shared source file.

Following is a summary of significant changes (if any)
to each of these now upgraded 3rd gen library modules.

<meminfo> ............................................
. strictly formatting/comment changes, code unaffected

<pids> ...............................................
. replaced a local mkSTR macro with existing STRINGIFY
. added fetch narrative explaining duplicate addresses

<slabinfo> ...........................................
. rearranged some free logic for procps_slabinfo_unref
. added fetch narrative explaining duplicate addresses

<stat> ...............................................
. added #define ENFORCE_LOGICAL, just as in <slabinfo>
. replaced a local mkSTR macro with existing STRINGIFY
. alphabetized the function declarations in the header

<vmstat> .............................................
. made one coverity concession with read_vmstat_failed

adfa2bc75a library: please keep procps-private.h free of #include
The 'procps.h' header includes all other headers which
contain exported (public) functions, while this header
has some (private) macros required for implementation.

If we mix the two, by including procps.h in this file,
we'll lose all hope of the compiler catching the kinds
of errors corrected in an immediately preceding patch.

6a70466ae5 library: overcome effect of copy/paste, <SLABINFO> api
Needless to say, when one copies and then pastes, it's
always better when those results are refined somewhat.

The qsort callback declarations used the wrong results
type and 2 of their 3 input parameters were wrong too.

So this patch will fix that & generalize declarations.

[ plus add comment guidance about noop & extra enums ]
[ & provide for 'noop' sorting, as is done in <PIDS> ]

f897a495ee library: adjust 'noop' callback definition, <PIDS> api
Though all those callback's parameters are ignored and
qsort treats them as pointers to void, it's wrong when
3rd parm is 'enum pids_item', not 'struct sort_parms'.

So we will fix it in a way that lessens the likelihood
of another such a mistake when some new type is added.

335cbc2e61 library: make struct name more descriptive, <STAT> api
After normalizing the <SLABINFO> module, much of which
was based on this module, a structure which is crucial
to concurrent select/reap support is renamed the same.

Such a need for concurrent support was revealed during
slabtop testing. That program requests (select) global
data after calling for individual node data (reap) but
before those stacks have been accessed. Therefore, one
set of 'items'/'extents' could not possibly be shared.

So now we will know the former struct fetch_support as
ext_support. The former name was potentially confusing
since the struct was used by both 'select' and 'reap'.
However, only 'reap' ever called the 'fetch' function.

[ this <STAT> already accommodated concurrent usage. ]
[ in fact it contains 3 separate sets of items/exts. ]

b700d91f84 library: whack a superfluous assignment, <MEMINFO> api
This patch was prompted through work on the <slabinfo>
upgrade from 2nd gen to 3rd. And while this assignment
caused no real harm, it most certainly was misleading.

5d5a52a380 library: normalize/standardize the i/f, <SLABINFO> api
Before this major redesign, the slabs interface likely
was our messiest 2nd generation attempt at opaqueness.
Beyond the standard 'new', 'ref' & 'unref', there were
a total of 12 exported functions. Now, there are four.

The 1st step was to remove several of those functions.
These were quick to go since they were not used (yet):
. procps_slabnode_count
. procps_slabnode_getname
. procps_slabnode_getstack

Then, the following were internalized so users needn't
be burdened with implementation details in the future:
. procps_slabinfo_read (renamed: read_slabinfo_failed)
. procps_slabnode_stacks_alloc (renamed: stacks_alloc)

Still others evolved into the minimal interface we had
strived for in the other upgraded 3rd generation APIs:
. procps_slabnode_get -----------> procps_slabinfo_get
. separate stack_alloc/fill --> procps_slabinfo_select
. separate stacks_alloc/fill ---> procps_slabinfo_reap
. procps_slabnode_stacks_sort --> procps_slabinfo_sort

------------------------------------------------------
Beyond those reductions, the major modifications were:

. This API tries to be as forgiving as possible and as
such won't throw errors when a caller request makes no
sense. For example, if a 'get' or 'select' requested a
SLABNODE item (with no current means to id that node),
results will be zero. By the same token, should 'reap'
include a global SLABS item (meaning those values will
be duplicated in *every* node stack) it'll be allowed.

. If the above behavior is undesired, a new #define of
ENFORCE_LOGICAL can be used to restrict certain items.

. Permission problems will now be caught at 'new' time
thanks to a priming 'read' call. That read also serves
to make DELTA values potentially useful at 1st access.

. Separate slab/slabnode enumerators were consolidated
into one, simplifying validation & the results struct.

. Several internal parameter checks were relaxed since
they were already checked by the caller. Besides if we
cannot trust our own code we might as well hang it up.

. That sort provision was made more efficient and will
offer the ascending choice, in addition to descending.

------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, some additional thoughts regarding the future:

. It would not be difficult to expand 'select' to also
accept a nodeid, or to clone it as 'select_node'. And,
should the same be extended to 'get', a results struct
could be returned instead of signed long accommodating
the extra data type(s) like a node name (string data).

. The 'get' function is not currently affected by that
 define ENFORCE_LOGICAL. However, at some future point
perhaps -EINVAL would be more appropriate than a zero.
