c2707dc2d7 sysctl return value
Gilles brought up a warning message in sysctl.c
sysctl.c: In function 'main':
sysctl.c:767: warning: value computed is not used

The return value of Preload was not being applied correctly to ret
meaning sysctl would not return the correct value.

fc503b442d Update library version-info to 2.1.1
Internal changes to libproc means the revision number
is incremented. This does not mean an ABI or API change has
occured, we just do the stuff under the covers better or in this
case reduce the compile warnings mainly.

4aa917455c top: fix the bug affecting certain Find/Locate results
When 'Other Filtering' was introduced the idea of what
constituted a displayed row changed. No longer was any
call to task_show assured of consuming one screen row.
Now the determining factor was whether or not the rows
were empty. This worked Ok until a certain Find string
was active then the entire display could be corrupted.

With Find active, the task_show() function alters each
returned row while highlighting each visible match. If
the search was on a single byte value & matched at the
beginning of a row the match got overwritten with '\0'
which then appears empty upon return to window_show().
So that row would not be counted as having been shown.

This was best illustrated with a Find on a single ' '.

This patch will restore proper 'Find/Locate' behavior.

a45dace4b8 library: utility buffers now immune to buffer overflow
A recent Debian bug report, dealing with release 3.2.8
and its even more restrictive buffer sizes (1024) used
in stat, statm and status reads via file2str calls, is
a reminder of what could yet happen to procps-ng. Size
needs are determined by kernel evolution and/or config
options so that bug could resurface even though buffer
size is currently 4 times the old procps-3.2.8 limits.

Those sizes were raised from 1024 to 4096 bytes in the
patch submitted by Eric Dumazet, and referenced below.

This patch makes libprocps immune to future changes in
the amount of stuff that is ultimately found in a proc
'stat', 'statm' or 'status' subdirectory. We now trade
the former static buffer of 4096 bytes for dynamically
allocated buffers whose size can be increased by need.

Even though this change is solely an internal one, and
in no way directly affects the API or the ABI, libtool
suggests that the LIBprocps_REVISION be raised. I hope
Craig remembers to do that just before a next release.

We don't want a repeat of the procps-ng-3.3.4 boo-boo,
but with no API/ABI impact that probably can't happen.

p.s. A big thanks to Jaromir Capik <jcapik@redhat.com>
who reviewed my original version and, of course, found
some of my trademark illogic + unnecessary code. After
his coaxing, he helped make this a much better commit.

a6c5e31022 top: tweak 'Inspect' code for isolated edge situations
If the 'Inspect' feature was used to view a file which
contained binary (unprintable) data, and when the last
line for such a file was purely unprintable, then that
line length would be overstated by the terminal width.

This was also the occasion where valgrind might object
over potential reference to some unitialized value(s).
It was a harmless situation and somewhat rare to begin
with. Anyway this commit will eliminate the potential.

Additionally, supporting readfile logic was simplified
and the 'status line' bytes read is now more accurate.

c80e93be47 pmap: a spade is a spade, so let's call a Flags a Perm
For some reason when the new -X/-XX options were added
what was always displayed as 'Mode' became 'Flags'. So
now a precious horizontal space is wasted because that
field's data has only 4 bytes whereas the header is 5.

Moreover, this created a conflict with the top program
which used that name in a column header already. Plus,
top emitted a 'Translation Hint' that suggests the max
chars should be 8 which is a limit pmap needn't share!

The xgettext program provides no way to keep identical
strings separate. This meant both top and pmap will be
sharing not only the msgid but a Translation Hint too.
So, the solution will now be two distinct field names.

Besides the kernel folks document it as 'perm' anyway!

0c0c543466 pmap: wield my machete, achieve width-wise nls support
The existing gettext nls support in pmap exposed users
to some potentially ugly misalignments should the text
that's used in headers someday actually be translated.

The length issue had been addressed already for -X/-XX
modes, but the column headers weren't nls translatable
as yet. This commit makes any header (not literally in
/proc/#/smaps) nls aware. It provides translated width
protection to all modes except one that's header-less!

As part of this effort, the occasional two spaces that
preceeded the Mapping column have been reduced to one.

3262143a29 pmap: trade inept width approach for printf's built-in
When the new -X/-XX options were introduced, the width
and justification requirements were satisfied with a 2
step approach. First, format strings would dynamically
be built and then employed in the subsequent printf().

This was a total waste of time and resources since the
printf family of functions provide for the '*' width &
precision conventions to meet this need via arguments.

But even more importantly that foolish endeavor always
hides the potential warnings like the one shown below.

Henceforth this pmap will printf in the proper manner!

1a50f39971 top: fine tune (ie. fix) 'other filter' negation logic
Two too many of these '=' (cooks) spoiled top's broth.

There exists an unintentional variation on the classic
error: off-by-one. When a negation symbol is used with
top's new relational 'other filter' provision, one too
many 'matches' are excluded. This happened because top
covered only 2 of the 3 potential strcmp return codes.
When the strings were equal, they were simply dropped.

So this patch will uninvent that particular variation!

This change represents the extension of user filtering
based on inclusion or exclusion. However where 'U'/'u'
filtering provides an either/or choice, this extension
offers multiple choices applicable to multiple fields.

The 'inclusion' and 'exclusion' criteria can be freely

and avoid clutter associated with uninteresting tasks.

5e4bade595 top: minor refactor in preparation for other filtering
While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and
an occasional email I've tried to maintain some coding
standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.

Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them
but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit:

. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section

Thus, given those constraints/objectives, and in order
to prepare for an upcoming Other_Filter feature, a few
things had to be renamed and rearranged. Plus a couple
of other (unrelated) tweaks were made for consistency.

b9976f7056 top: finish the job of correcting the response to a ^Z
if top is suspended while on the 2nd level help screen
the <Enter> key is no longer honored. Thus, users must
use <Esc> to exit help and return to the main display.

Also, line input that was only partially complete when
suspended would still require one additional keystroke
before the read was aborted and the display refreshed.

Lastly, some user interactions might require two input
lines before an operation can be considered completed.
Thus the 2nd line offers another opportunity for users
to suspend top. Resumption would require an extra key.

These issues stem from 2 recent enhancements: preserve
the user context when signaled; complete input editing
with cursor movement keys, insert/overtype modes, etc.

With this patch, the <Enter> key is once again honored
on help screen #2 and partial reads are now completed.

5ee1286625 top: allow re-ordering of saved line input upon recall
The original implementation of input line recall keeps
strings in the order established when initially added.
With this commit, that has been changed so any matched
string moves to the top of the saved input line stack.

[ well technically not the top since that's occupied ]
[ by an 'empty' string which serves multiple masters ]

Thus, the most frequently referenced strings over time
will percolate up and remain the most easily recalled.
But just in case anybody prefers the strict historical
ordering, a #define can restore the original behavior.

(everything is perfectly justified plus right margins)
(are completely filled, but of course it must be luck)

5c3fffcf28 top: improve the response to ^Z if awaiting line input
Now that line input offers users full editing freedom,
if top were to be suspended after issuing a prompt for
input, upon resumption an extra keystroke is necessary
to satisfy the outstanding read & refresh the display.

With this patch that extra keystroke is not necessary.

d497b1025a top: some idiot broke 'idle' mode with u/U 'exclusion'
This patch fixes the single stinkin' source line which
was responsible for breaking the top idle-mode toggle.

Without this change, either 'u' or 'U' must be invoked
just once before the 'i' command would show something.

(yes, everything's perfectly justified once again but)
(i'm not very happy over the need for this damn patch)

2efe275512 top: enable recall of previous input lines for re-edit
With this commit, users can now retrieve previous line
input for re-editing and/or re-input using the Up/Down
arrow keys (or their aliases). This mirrors the 'bash'
or 'less' interface and represents a major enhancement
achieved via a somewhat minor impact to our code base.

[ 33 lines of code, 5 closing braces & some comments ]
[ all in 1 function, when TERMIOS_ONLY isn't defined ]

Currently, the upper limit for such recallable strings
has been set at 50 but that could be easily increased.

(are completely filled, but of course it must be luck)
