0fe393ff27 top: inoculated against a window manager like 'screen'
If top were invoked under the 'screen' window manager,
writing the terminfo string 'exit_ca_mode' at top exit
would not restore the display to the state existing at
the time top was started. That's what occurs normally.
The net result of that failure was a corrupted screen.

However, there is a 'screen' configuration option that
will produce proper 'rmcup' behavior, but it is off by
default. That screencr option is known as 'altscreen'.
I stumbled across this provision by cloning the screen
git repository then searching for references to 'cup'.

If 'altscreen on' had been in either the /etc/screenrc
or the $HOME/.screenrc configuration file, my poor old
top would never have been accused of such corruptions.
Of course, the Programming Gods decree that any simple
solution for our problem must always be revealed last.

So before discovering that rc option, another approach
was taken involving top only. With just a little extra
refactoring of top display logic he was made immune to
any such quirk in the implementation of 'smcup/rmcup'.

I always feel good about any enhancement that actually
reduces the total number of lines of code. Even though
this change involved mostly rearranging some logic, it
yielded one less line (can't judge by diffstat because
of braces & notes). Anyway, rather than requiring some
change to a screenrc file, now we are self-sufficient.

2ede50902f top: provide a build option to change memory precision
When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced
in release 3.3.6, the memory field widths were widened
slightly so unscaled KiB values could be provided more
consistently and scaled values (beyond MiB) could show
3 decimal places of precision. However, some users may
prefer the former widths/precisions for memory fields.

This commit will provide a build time configure option
to return top to those former defaults as a compliment
to a new %CPU & %MEM field precision configure option.

77abe18d01 top: revert %CPU and %MEM precision to former defaults
When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced
in release 3.3.6, the percentage columns were expanded
to provide 3 decimal places of precision. In hindsight
that may have been overkill, making those columns more
of a distraction than useful, with just too much info.

This patch will revert those columns to the former one
decimal place. And as was true, that decimal point may
be sacrificed depending on the number of cpus present.

And, in case anyone might prefer additional precision,
a build option can provide it (--enable-wide-percent).

a6c7923106 Fix btime handling reading from /proc/stat
Function getbtime() currently makes the assumption that btime==0 equals
btime not being present in /proc/stat. This is not quite accurate, as
timestamp 0 is, in fact, also a valid time (Epoch), and /proc/stat may
report it as such.

We introduce a flag to indicate whether btime was found in /proc/stat.
In this way, btime==0 becomes a valid case, provided /proc/stat
actually reports this as the boot time.

procps can still detect the case of btime actually not being reported
by the kernel.

edba932a7e top: introduce a plug-in approach for the NUMA support
The NUMA/Nodes support in top has gone through several
evolutions (primarily dealing with build-sys options).
With this commit the library dependency issues are now
moot and the responsibilities for run-time loading and
dynamic linking are assumed by the top program itself.

Henceforth, if top is executed in an environment where
libnuma.so is present, top will offer such extensions.
Even more importantly, when a missing libnuma is later
installed, top will offer numa support auto-magically.
All NUMA/Node build-sys dependencies are thus removed.

The former NUMA_ENABLED define has become NUMA_DISABLE
should anyone wish to test user interface implications
in an environment that *does* have libnuma. It is also
represented as the ./configure option: --disable-numa.

Lastly, the 't' (View_STATES) toggle will be forced on
for sanity whenever the '1', '2' or '3' keys are used.

5686877cd4 build-sys: eliminate dependencies for the NUMA support
Oh that poor ol' build system. With this patch it will
have gone through three separate incarnations in terms
of NUMA/Node support. Those 3 iterations consisted of:

1. A 'porridge too hot' where the top numa support was
enabled if it was built in the presence of libnuma and
the numa.h header. But if the numa library wasn't part
of core packages, that would have broken poor old top.

2. A 'porridge too cold' where numa support was off by
default and must have been explicitly enabled when the
./configure script was run. This could have meant that
distros might not distribute a numa-aware procps, even
though their numa library would have been distributed.

3. And this 'porridge' where the top numa support will
become a 'plug-in' feature activated when the presence
of libnuma.so can be verified at runtime. We'll do our
own loading and symbol resolution (with some help from
dlopen in libdl). Thus maintainers' responsibility for
enabling numa support and then satisfying that library
dependency is now an entirely optional --disable-numa.

As Goldilocks might say about our current configure.ac
"Ummm, I think this porridge tastes just about right".

95d0136281 library: dynamic buffer management even more efficient
One recent patch to dynamic buffer management involved
over-allocating the buffer increase to lessen calls to
xrealloc. That was successful, but the actual increase
amount did not attempt to optimize size or alignments.

With this commit, we'll copy an approach recently used
by the top program and round up buffer sizes to 1 KiB.
More importantly, while buffers are quickly reaching a
KiB optimum multiple, no memcpy will ever be employed!

To illustrate just how effective top's algorithm would
be, just change the initial and subsequent allocations
from the current 1024 bytes to just a single byte then
add an fprintf.  Those one byte reallocations while on
the way to optimum buffer size will be a one-time cost
and won't represent any recurring performance penalty.

( gosh, that top program *must be* one fart smeller, )
( or was that a smart feller, i can't remember which )

d16fd8e462 top: snapshot /proc/stat reads to minimize distortions
Almost forever, top has been accessing the /proc/stat/
directory one line at a time until either smp_num_cpus
was reached or (more recently) Screen_rows is reached.

When NUMA/Nodes support is enabled screen rows will no
longer serve as a limit because all cpus must be read.

With this commit, the entire /proc/stat/ directory can
be read at once so all statistics will be frozen. Thus
individual cpus will no longer keep "ticing" until top
gets around to accessing them via some separate fgets.

The distortion this commit eliminates was quite easily
seen when comparing old/new tops using: individual cpu
stats vs. cpu summary; a healthy delay interval of 3-5
seconds; manually synchronized update cycles (the hard
part); some system loading (maybe another top at -d0).

Additionally, this patch eliminates some long standing
unnecessary initialization made possible because of an
allocation via calloc. If some parts are never touched
by sscanf due to a kernel version, it's unnecessary to
repeatedly re-initialize those portions to zero again.

8d989c68c0 top: program code changes, enable NUMA/Node extensions
This commit extends the top Summary Area cpu states to
include information on Non-Uniform Memory Architecture
nodes. It is based upon changes originally proposed by
Lance Shelton who was instrumental in the final patch.

With this change, the user will have new commands that
will provide alternatives to the individual cpu stats:

. '2' toggles between cpu & numa node summary displays
. '3' provides node summary and related cpu statistics

These extensions required some minimal system support.
Typically, the numactl package (and maybe libnuma-dev)
are all that's needed to show a single node which owns
all the processors. Failing that, or for slightly more
variety, top also offers a #define named PRETEND_NUMA.

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.

10936365de top: touch up a few miscellaneous nls related comments
Some recent nls work on that pmap program necessitated
a return to nls translation file creation for testing.

As it turns out, my skills used in pseudo-translations
had become rusty and some newer LC_MESSAGE directories
may have been introduced since last needing the topic.

This patch just updates some programmer notes to agree
with this most recent effort and for future reference!

838e5d8941 configure: Check for error.h
For portability, check for error.h during configure and define
HAVE_ERROR_H accordingly.

If this header is not available, emulate the functionality of error()
from glibc with an inline wrapper in include/c.h.

6df4fc403d configure: Check for stdio_ext.h
For portability, check for stdio_ext.h during configure and define
HAVE_STDIO_EXT_H accordingly.

If the current system does not provide this header, use a fallback for
__fpending(). This definition will not work on all systems as it relies
on internal data structures of libc. A more portable solution should be
preferred, for example by using gnulib.
