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.

8cd1214aac library: stop treating lxcname differently, <PIDS> api
Unlike other cached string fields (such as USER name),
that lxcname field was defined as 'const char *'. This
required a custom 'set' function using a cast in order
to avoid a compiler warning regarding that assignment.

So this commit brings lxcname into line with all those
other cached string fields. And while we're at it, the
reason some string fields have no 'freefunc' will also
be explained with some new comments in the Item_table.

09503dc597 library: eliminated a final potential NULL, <PIDS> api
In that reference below a specific systemd problem was
fixed in the commit shown. However lurking deep within
the <pids> interface was yet one final case where NULL
could be returned, involving 'strv' and the following:

. a user requested both a single string vector (always
returned as a normal string) & the vectorized version,
as with PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE and PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V.

. a user simply duplicated some vectorized enum items.

The root of that NULL problem is the fact those single
string vectors shared the same proc_t field with their
true vectorized version. So while multiple occurrences
for most strings could be satisfied with strdup versus
the normal ownership usurpation, those true vectorized
fields could not be quite so easily copied/duplicated.

Thus newlib chose to return a NULL result.strv pointer
under either of the above scenarios (which perhaps was
just a user boo-boo in the first place). In any event,
the NULL was a potential for true string vectors only.

Now, since newlib is the sole caller into the readproc
module, separate fields have been created for what are
just normal strings (never vectorized) and those which
remain the true vectorized versions. And, former flags
which only worked if combined, now act as stand alone.

Thus, both PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE & PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V
can be used simultaneously (as they should have been).

Also with this patch, items which a user duplicates in
the stack (beyond the first such item) will return the
the string "[ duplicate ENUM_ID ]". This practice will
apply to both single strings and true vectorized ones.
In addition to informing users of their error, it will
also mean potential NULLs need now never be a concern.

540342620b library: try to minimize the results types, <PIDS> api
This is just beginning an effort to minimize/normalize
the sheer variety of results types in use for our API.

In taking these first baby steps, a few anomalies were
found. There'll no doubt be many more yet to discover.

. the _FLT_ (fault) fields were already signed long in
the proc_t (even though their sscanf format used %lu).

. although strtoul will alway return an unsigned long,
all of the _VM_ fields were made signed long just like
other memory fields (& signed sorts more efficiently).

887bb51016 library: cleanup of readproc functions
readproc still had some of the old API hanging around that
was good while we were trying it out, but its time to say
goodbye:

readproc.h removed from public procps.h header file
enum ns_type - not used - removed
get_ns_name() - not defined - removed
get_ns_id() - not defined - removed
PROCTAB proc_t only used internal to library
readproctab() and 2,3 friends not used - removed
proc_data_t was used by readproctab23() - removed
readtask() - not used - removed
read_cmdline() - copy,renamed and made generic - remove original
freeproc() - not used - removed
get_proc_status - not used - removed, however there should be
a new function created that does this. Given a PID return data
about it instead of scanning the entire procfs. Maybe it already does.

Left as internal-to-library only functions:
 readproc(), readeither(), look_up_our_self(), openproc(), closeproc()

Updated libprocps.sym to export only what we use.

ccb6ae8de1 library: cleanup of library includes
The includes used to define a lot of things a library include
should not. It was also a bit messy what was exposed in the library
and what was not.

get_pid_digits -> procps_pid_length and exported correctly

MALLOC attribute move into relevant .c files
NORETURN attribute moved to relevant .c, not used in library
PURE attribute removed, it wasn't used
KLONG/KLF/STRTOUKL were fixed for long, so now just use long

HIDDEN attribute removed. It was for 3 functions. The PROCPS_EXPORT
seems to do the same (opposite) thing.

likely/unlikely removed from most places, its highly debateable
this does anything useful as CPUs have gotten smarter about branches.

Re-arranged the includes, ALL external programs should just #include
<proc/procps.h> then proc/procps.h includes headers for files that
have exported functions. procps.h and the headers it includes should
not use items that are not exportable (e.g. hidden functions or
macros) they go in procps-private.h

8dc378f6a8 library: exploit linux-4.5 resident memory enhancement
Beginning with linux-4.5, the following new fields are
being added under that /proc/<pid>/status pseudo file:
 . RssAnon - size of resident anonymous memory
 . RssFile - size of resident file mappings
 . RssShmem - size of resident shared memory

This patch just represents the initial library and top
support, sharing a commit message with 2 more patches.

p.s. locked resident memory support was also added but
isn't directly related to the kernel 4.5 enhancements.

a61f78d6e0 library: rework namespace calls
Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the
procps library and didn't fit the standard naming scheme.

While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
to "lock in" x. The alternative is to use ns_* variables.

This work was needed before pgrep could be converted.

3881a0844a old library: just some tweaks for transition to newlib
A few minor changes are being made to position the old
readproc logic for a transition to the newlib pid api.

These changes will not impact current users beyond the
the need to recompile such code. Hopefully this should
be very last version change to the deprecated library.

. most char arrays were replaced via char * to dynamic
memory. this was done so that newlib could just assume
ownership of such strings without using a strdup call.

. former user and group name arrays also became char *
but here the reason was because pwcache already cached
those names. so, copying to an array never made sense.

. the concept of QUICK_THREADS used to avoid duplicate
overhead for string data was disabled. it could not be
integrated with the newlib design, at least initially.

. any #define which influenced the size of that proc_t
was disable in the header. it was probably a poor idea
to approach optional features in such a manner anyway.

6b8dc5511f library: refactor and rely on modern kernels for wchan
Several Debian based distributions were recently found
to have omitted a kernel configuration option that had
the effect of rendering /proc/#/stat and /proc/#/wchan
useless for providing any 'sleeping in function' info.

That problem also prompted a reevaluation of the whole
approach to wchan matters which had grown increasingly
complex as our library evolved over the last 13 years.

The net result was a decision to rely on /proc/#/wchan
which arrived along with the 2.5 kernel. This then let
us vastly simplify the internal code plus the external
interface which will benefit both the top and ps pgms.

0557504f9c library: add support for displaying LXC container name
This commit adds a lxc container name to every proc_t.
If a process is not running in a container, then a '-'
will be provided, making such a field always sortable.

Unlike other proc_t character pointers, lxc containers
will find many duplicate shared values. So rather than
strdup 'em (with a later free required upon reuse), we
try to keep track of those already seen and share that
address among all tasks running within each container.

We rely on the lines in the task's cgroup subdirectory
which may initially seem somewhat unsophisticated. But
the lxc library itself uses a similar approach when it
is called to list active containers. In that case, the
/proc/net/unix directory is parsed for the '/lxc' eye-
catcher, with potential complications from hashed path
and names that are too long (something we don't face).

[ too bad docker abandoned lxc - our commit won't do ]
[ anything for the users of those kind of containers ]

583cdaca1a library: normalize recently added namespaces interface
While 'invisible' thread subdirectories are accessible
under /proc/ with stat/opendir calls, they have always
been treated as non-existent, as is true with readdir.

This patch trades the /proc/#/ns access convention for
the more proper /proc/#/task/#/ns approach when thread
access is desired. In addition some namespace code has
been simplified and made slightly more efficient given
the calloc nature of proc_t acquisition and its reuse.

6c8e9d9581 library: fix proc_t page fault delta counts alignment
When the maj_delta and min_delta fields were added to
the proc_t, they necessitated some compiler generated
padding bytes.

With this slight reordering, those padding bytes are
no longer generated.  And since the original commit
already broke the library ABI, now is an opportune
time to correct that misalignment.
