3f068a66c8 top: turn off the 'Ctrl' bottom window with 1 more key
In that commit shown below, the concept of a corrupted
display was introduced so that 'Ctrl' windows could be
redrawn now that they were made more persistent. Well,
it turns out there is another case where redrawing was
necessary. That is when transitioning between task and
thread modes. So this patch addresses those occasions.

793f3e85ae top: fix a bug from when 'Ctrl' window was made sticky
In the patch referenced below the bottom 'Ctrl' window
was made to remain until it was dismissed by the user.

As such, it required abandoning a 'Cap_nl_clreos' used
when all the terminal rows had not been drawn. Instead
each line had to be cleared individually until the row
reserved for that 'Ctrl' window area had been reached.

Unfortunately, while a 'Cap_nl_clreos' didn't create a
problem for 'batch' mode, a 'Cap_clr_eol' used instead
yielded an unending loop if those rows were limitless.

So, now we will only clear that area when top isn't in
'batch' mode (which should have always been the case).

bc4b499ed2 top: avoid library shame with refactored 'Ctrl' window
Well darn it, whoever wrote that new library caught me
with my pants down (again?). Shoot, they were not just
down but somehow missing altogether. Here's the story.

Any item from that library supported by dynamic memory
can only be represented in user's stacks exactly once.

Should any string based enumerator be duplicated among
the items array, for any instance beyond the first the
library will return '[ duplicate ENUM ]' for a result.

That's where I lost my pants. While command lines were
given special handling (and never duplicated) I failed
to turn on CGROUPS, SUPGRPS & ENVIRON when testing the
Ctrl-G, Ctrl-U & Ctrl-N keys. If any of those 3 are on
that's when a Ctrl window sees a 'duplicate' notation.

[ and who runs top with such fields displayed anyway ]

In responding to this oops, the internals were changed
quite dramatically & vastly simplified in the process.

More importantly, the 'duplicate' results are no more.

823b6a3b1a library: Use standard major minor macros
I'm not sure why you would roll your own macros for major and minor
while the standard includes have these defined. Using our versions
causes two problems:
 - Some systems don't use this format for their minor/major
 - If the kernel proc interface becomes a 64-bit number, like
   dev_t is in the library, then our macro will need to be changed.

autoconf already had the check and as a bonus for anyone that
puts these definitions in sys/mkdev.h it handles that too.

So this is now the standard way of getting a minor/major number out of a
device id. Examining bits/sysmacros.h showed that their defines are
close to what devname.c had, except it can handle 64-bit numbers.

shm_id is an int which is what shmget() returns.

d66c1f39b5 top: turn off the 'Ctrl' bottom window after some keys
To complete the implementation of this new feature, we
must address the problem created by any commands which
offer their own full replacement displays. Should that
'Ctrl' bottom window be active, a return from any such
command leaves that lower portion of a terminal blank.

While we could issue a 'TAGGED_TOSS' macro right after
invoking any of those 4 (currently) affected commands,
it is wrong to make them aware of this 'tagged' stuff.

So, I'll opt for a more generalized solution whereby a
notice regarding a corrupted screen is broadcast. Then
the logic already aware of 'tagging' can deal with it.

9ff5a4fff0 top: trade just 1 'Ctrl' bottom window key association
I grew tired of inadvertently causing a premature exit
from top when all I wanted was to review some process'
environment variables. That 'V' key was just too close
to the 'C' key so the '^V' attempt became one of '^C'.

Well, not any more. Should a user wish to see a task's
environment, it will now require the '^N' combination.

[ it also now places G/U & N/K on a similar diagonal ]

Along the way, lower case Ctrl key combinations on the
help screen were all changed into upper case versions.

0f2a755b0b top: make the new 'Ctrl' bottom window behavior sticky
After using this new feature for awhile, I encountered
numerous times when that 'Ctrl' window would disappear
as I was studying the contents. This was caused by the
death of the target task but it made me think that the
window could/should persist until dismissed by a user.

Well, now it will persist until that same Ctrl key has
been struck a 2nd time or a different Ctrl key used to
target another process after positioning it on row #1.

So now, instead of that former 'moving target' type of
approach, this window is more of a 'snapshot' in time.

[ even more significant, perhaps, is the fact that a ]
[ Ctrl window will now be drawn exactly 1 time only, ]
[ instead of being repainted after each delay cycle. ]

[ this will remain true no matter how many intervals ]
[ might elapse while its contents were under review. ]

b9723148a2 library: eliminate insidious 'LIBPROC_HIDE_KERNEL' bug
When support for the 'LIBPROC_HIDE_KERNEL' environment
variable was introduced, a deficiency was present that
allowed any rejected proc_t (i.e. a kworker thread) to
preserve the strdup'd 'cmd' value. That residual value
would prevent stat2proc or status2proc from updating a
cmd field with the proper program name for some tasks.

This patch just ensures a proc_t is freshened whenever
it has been rejected due to an active PT->hide_kernel.

[ again thanks to Björn for initiating the extension ]

fb32021eeb top: add variable width data display without scrolling
There are times when one might want to see some task's
particular variable width data. However, prior to this
commit, the only way was to first turn on a field then
scroll through it via repeated right arrow keystrokes.

[ this also required that field to be displayed last ]

Needless to say, given the potential length of some of
that variable data this could be extremely cumbersome.

Now with this patch, a Ctrl keystroke combination will
create a separate window at the bottom of the terminal
screen where such variable width data is seen in full.

[ the targeted task is the 1st task displayed, which ]
[ is a convention employed in some existing commands ]

[ the targeted data was determined by these Ctrl key ]
[ combinations: CtrlG = ctrl group; CtrlK = cmdline; ]
[ CtrlU = supplementary groups; plus CtrlV = environ ]

e18981ec0a top: added provision for autogroup nice (AGNI) changes
When autogroups are active programs such as renice and
nice are basically useless because the nice value will
only affect the target task priority relative to other
processes in the same autogroup. So to accomplish what
we thought of as renice, /proc/<pid>/autogroup must be
changed. Altering a single member in an autogroup will
also affect every other member of that same autogroup.

Since top's renice provision ('r') suffers constraints
like those of the stand alone nice/renice programs, we
will now provide a means to manipulate that nice value
found within some process' /proc/<pid>/autogroup file.

[ to alter this file for other user's tasks requires ]
[ root privileges, as does setting a negative value. ]

[ however, unlike that 'r' command, this new command ]
[ allows raising *and* lowering all positive values. ]

20e44569f5 ps: improved three elapsed 'jiffies/tics' calculations
With openSUSE's tumbleweed release of procps-ng-4.0.0,
their source rpm contained a questionable patch. It is
ostensibly devoted to increasing the accuracy for %cpu
calculations in the ps program. However, in my opinion
it goes too far and is quite flawed for these reasons:

1. Six separate files were impacted instead of just 1.
2. While ps was the object, libproc-2 was changed too.
3. A header file's alphabetic item order was violated.
4. The library API and ABI were altered unnecessarily.

It should be noted that all the <pids> TIME items were
made 'real' when representing seconds so that they can
be converted into jiffies/tics if multiplied by hertz.
Thus, there was absolutely no justification for adding
a new PIDS_TICS_ELAPSED ull_int item to the interface.

As an example, assuming a hertz value of 100, there is
enough capacity in all of those 'TIME' seconds to hold
nearly 3 million years worth of tics without a loss of
precision whenever they are changed back into jiffies.

[ that's nine quadrillion seven trillion one hundred ]
[ ninety-nine billion two hundred fifty-four million ]
[ seven hundred forty thousand nine hundred ninety + ]
[ one! or more concisely, as: 9,007,199,254,740,991. ]

So, any need for increased accuracy in that ps program
can be realized within the single output.c file alone.

That's what will be accomplished with this new commit.

And for any doubters here's a 'double' capacity proof:

7279cd8e4d top: raise %CPU maximum if large numbers of processors
It would appear that openSUSE was the first to release
procps-ng version 4.0.0 (in the tumbleweed distro). As
a result I checked their source rpm and found a couple
of patches I'm porting to newlib for the next release.

This particulate patch, with some changes, is openSUSE
patch 'procps-ng-3.3.10-large_pcpu.patch'. The changes
were strictly cosmetic. They involved whitespace only.

[ it should be noted that the net effect for raising ]
[ the maximum is to produce a '?' in the %CPU field. ]
[ that's because its width is fixed at five columns. ]
[ but at least the '?' won't distort actual results. ]

6aec3ec93a top: ignore the SIGHUP signal if running in batch mode
It would appear that openSUSE was the first to release
procps-ng version 4.0.0 (in the tumbleweed distro). As
a result I checked their source rpm and found a couple
of patches I'm porting to newlib for the next release.

This particulate commit was a refactor of the openSUSE
patch 'procps-ng-3.3.8-bnc634840.patch'. Unfortunately
their original patch did not have the intended effect.

That was because the amended signal handling logic was
performed well before the command line parameters were
parsed. So the global 'Batch' flag was in its 0 state.

. what follows is the original openSUSE commit message
------------------------------------------------------
Do not setup SIGHUP signal handler if we are in the batch mode

Top enables a signal handler for the SIGHUP signal (loss of terminal).  While
this makes sense for top's default interactive mode, it doesn't make any sense
for batch mode. If you run top in nohup just to collect data over time and
disconnect top finishes which is not what one would expect.

7597aaf7f9 testsuite: Add AIX field checks for ps
AIX fields (generally %char) have had some love now but
are parsed slightly differently to other fields, so they
have some tests.

b159c198c9 sysctl: print dotted keys again
When the globbing update was put into sysctl, you could no longer
simply use the keys because one key could potentially be
multiple paths once the glob expansion occured.  Using the path
instead gave a unique output.

Except certain programs, such as salt, expected the output to use
the dotted path "kernel.hostname" and not "kernel/hostname".

We can no longer use the original key, so now for each path:
  Copy the path
  strip off /proc/
  convert all / to .

The sysctl testsuite was also updated to check for a few different
types of conversion failures.

4fbf8d22a9 ps: that restored aix behavior is now even more robust
With the commit referenced below a nasty bug affecting
aix parsing was swatted. Beyond the bug, the logic was
enhanced to disallow commas in the format string since
they would otherwise be shown with their field's data.

However, there remained many characters other than ','
that could survive the edits to then be shown adjacent
to the data. Well, with this patch they won't anymore!

[ along the way we will no longer try to forgive the ]
[ use of a double '%%' prefix since that resulted in ]
[ display of one '%' and field code instead of data. ]

8cb646bdfc ps: restore aix behavior while keeping an original fix
The commit shown below broke the aix behavior that Dr.
Fink recently reported. However, in the proposed patch
the old behavior, showing garbage when '%cpu' was used
with an invalid formatting option, would appear again.

So this patch, based on Werner's patch, goes the extra
distance to prevent that. Along the way we'll disallow
commas in the aix format str to prevent their display.
