The commit (merge) referenced below added some useless
trailing whitespace, and this patch will correct such.
[ this also updates the NEWS file for the buglet fix ]
Gosh, if folks cannot coax their editors into avoiding
such crap they should remove the '.sample' suffix from
their '.git/hooks/pre-commit.sample' file. Thereafter,
git itself will reject changes with whitespace errors.

In some environments, 100 * nr_active_objs is calculated at first,
and the result of lower 32bits is divided by nr_objs. This occurs
even in a 64-bit architecture. So nr_active_objes > 42949672, %use
will be incorrect.
This fix casts type of nr_active_objs to float to calculate
correctly the %use in 32-bit/64-bit architectures.

This reverts commit 99d71ad581.
When nr_active_objs / nr_objs is calculated, the result will be 1
or 0 since the variables are integer. So the commit is wrong.
kill -l SIGHUP (or any other signal-name prefixed with "SIG")
would cause free() to be called with a bad pointer instead of
a pointer to what was allocated. Fix this and add test-case.
FreeBSD doesn't have SIGPWR so makes no sense in warning and assuming
its 29.

Profiling revealed a large amount of time spent in the
'escape_str_utf8' function (escape.c) with both of our
NLS branches (newlib and master). That same result was
not seen under an ancient top-3.2.8 program & library.
Well, the 3.2.8 result was ultimately explained by the
absence of a 'setlocale', necessary under NLS support.
Thus, when that ancient library tested for locale, all
it got was 'ANSI_...' & assumed 'UTF-8' wasn't active.
But after a hack to that ancient code to place it on a
par with newlib/master, I still found cost differences
that led me to revisit an old change referenced below.
It turns out that 'iswprint' costs far more than would
a call of 'isprint', even with the extra support code.
So this commit just reverts that five year old change.
[ this patch parallels a similar change under newlib ]

For a specific slice of kernel versions we can get a better
estimate of the available memory before the "real" available
figure appears around kernel 3.2
However, that middle method requires a /proc/sys/vm directory.
FreeBSD 9.x used to emulate a < 2.6.27 kernel procfs meaning
it never tried the middle method. FreeBSD 10.x emulates something
more modern, but without the available figure and without a
/proc/sys/vm, so the library falls into a hole.
Hurd may to one day have this bug so we'll exclude him as well
as its triggered by whatever number appears in
/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease

For this release, what's likely to be our last oldlib,
we really no longer care when top or ps threads access
is made a little less efficient. This is especially so
when efficiency was gained at the expense of accuracy.
The newlib branch already has turned off QUICK_THREADS
so this patch just brings the master branch into line.

These are renamed pwcache_get_user and pwcache_get_group.

Since we're about to break the ABI/API anyway, why not
go ahead and add yet another field to our proc_t which
the newlib branch has had for awhile. This then allows
the top program to offer 'control group name' and will
also permit a few reductions in that ps program logic.
And let's also clean up some unrelated warnings below.
Clang warnings:

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.

The former variable length structure created potential
problems for library users like that referenced below.
We will now parallel the same approach newlib uses for
the configure options --enable-oomem & --with-systemd.
Thus, the --enable-oomem and OOMEM_ENABLE #define have
been eliminated and the --with-systemd option (#define
WITH_SYSTEMD) will hereafter impact one function only.
The proc_t struct itself will now *never* be impacted.

Since support already exists in the newlib branch this
represents an equivalent master branch implementation,
and this commit message is shared with 2 more patches.
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
p.s. Locked resident memory support was also added but
isn't directly related to the kernel 4.5 enhancements.
p.p.s. Archlinux, Debian-stretch and Fedora-23 already
are currently using a 4.5 linux kernel (as of 6/2/16).

Multiple scanf()s use the GNU-permitted %Lu. This is not supported in
other libraries and isn't to the POSIX specification. The L modifier
is only used for floats in POSIX.
Replacing %Lu with %llu is the same for GNU libc (scanf(3) says as much)
but means other libraries will work fine.

Added function procps_linux_version() which used to be an
exported integer instead. Also changed the method of obtaining
the linux version (more correctly the os release) to use a specific
procfs entry. This works for both Linux and FreeBSD.
This patch will bring three of our man pages into line
with the recent refactor of the libprocps wchan logic.

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.

It doesn't make any sense to have the binary version strings
embedded into the library. The version strings are defined
already either in the Makefile or in include/c.h
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 ]

Under a lxc container, the /proc/meminfo 'MemFree' and
'MemAvailable' amounts will be equal, unless memory is
being limited via cgroups in which case 'MemAvailable'
could exceed that for 'MemTotal'. And when a container
has been nested, there exist additional memory quirks.
A program might then display used or available amounts
greater than total memory (assuming unsigned honored),
or negative values (should a signed cast be employed).
This anomaly primarily impacted the top and free pgms.
Thus, two simple sanity checks have been introduced to
avoid any illogical kb_main_available or kb_main_used.
( Busybox top & free also display anomalous although )
( different results when running in a lxc container. )

This will be required for subdir-objects, otherwise automake will have
problems with more than one Makefile.am having rules to build the same

Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested `make install` and compared the tree with the one installed
before this commit, both installed the binaries to the same locations.
The binaries are also in the same location in the build tree (for
instance, ps/pscommand is still there.)
Checked the binaries for the correct libraries linked into them. Binary

This commit adds support for fallback calculation
of the MemAvailable field if not exported by the
kernel. The MemAvailable field appeared in kernel
3.14, but it's possible to calculate it from other
fields since 2.6.27 (splitLRU changes).
Nowadays the usernames can be 32 characters long
(typically OpenShift usernames use the whole length)
and the old limit was preventing us from processing
them correctly.
The macro change affects the proc_t structure size.
