8a5f3f7b26 top: fix initial cursor position for fields management
When we transitioned from 'char' based fields to 'int'
proper initial cursor positioning (highlight) was lost
in the 'fields_utility' function. The highlight should
appear on the current sort field. Instead, however, it
was often positioned on the first field listed or some
completely different field other than that sort field.

So this patch will restore the master branch behavior.

[ and on the assumption that a sort field is visible ]
[ we will search first for a field with the 'on' bit ]

6c35695485 top: add more robustness to logic for reading a rcfile
At this point I don't know if the Rc.id ever carried a
value of 'b', 'c', 'd' or 'e' in a public release. But
I do know that those values ought not to be recognized
in any configuration file. Now they won't be for sure.

255383a8cd top: do not add an extra line when rewritting a rcfile
When the configuration file is first written, there is
just the normal single newline which ends that rcfile.

However, when any existing rcfile was rewritten, there
was one extra newline '\n' character added at the end.
This will happen just once. The file does NOT continue
to grow with the extra blank lines always being added.

Anyway, this patch will put an end to such a practice.

5822210618 top: swat a bug with 3.2.8 support for field additions
This new integer based version of 'fieldscur' deviated
a bit too much from that character based logic when it
comes to ancient 3.2.8 rcfile support. This results in
an inappropriate extra field shown as the last column.

If we're truly dealing with 20 year old 3.2.8 rcfiles,
it's important the 3.3.9 extension (RCF_PLUS_H) not be
concatenated to what was read. That's because a search
for the special SUSE characters will always find a '\'
in the 26th position (after normal 3.2.8 'fieldscur').

[ for symmetry, we'll also avoid RCF_PLUS_J (3.3.17) ]

All other 'old' rcfiles are transformed without error.

This patch will restore the previously abandoned older
rcfile support. To be honest, I wasn't sure this would
be possible given the vast difference between formats.

But after some very intense hacking our newlib top can
again fully support seamless migration from some older
'char' based file to this new 'int' based file format.

40040adf34 top: bump current upper max to 100 for field additions
As I speculated in a prior commit, this patch will now
demonstrate how simple it is to extend the upper limit

46aa96e438 top: provide an unlimited capacity for field additions
With each of those references shown below, the maximum
number of fields was increased. However, with a 'char'
based implementation we're nearing the upper limits of
total displayable fields. We currently use 76 of a max
of 86 fields. With extra effort, 94 might be possible.

But 94 is the absolute upper limit of possible fields!

Moreover, the current implementation yields characters
that were unprintable in the rcfile. This could become
an issue with that 'inspect' feature when/if an rcfile
is edited to add entries (as opposed to using 'echo').

So, with this commit the internals of field management
has been completely reimagined. It is now based on the
integer type, not a character. And whereas that former
design used the high order bit to show the 'on' state,
thus yielding an unprintable character, the new design
uses the low order bit for the state. As such, numbers
will be kept small and an even number will be an 'off'
field whereas an odd number will become an 'on' state.

The bottom line is that this new design will afford an
unlimited number of new fields while keeping an rcfile
completely free of that potential unprintable garbage.

And it is embarrassingly easy to extend the maximum of
supportable fields from the currently implemented 100.
Who knows, maybe a future patch will prove this point.

[ unless a subsequent commit proves otherwise, given ]
[ the dramatic differences in rcfile contents, i had ]
[ to abandon the practice of supporting old rcfiles. ]

402bf1903b top: extended 'scale_tics' function for Ctrl-E scaling
That normalization of the 'scale_tics' function in the
prior commit convinced me that I won't please everyone
with my arbitrary choices for the scaling transitions.

So, this patch will provide the users with a means for
setting their own scaling transition points with a new
toggle. Ctrl-E was chosen since the 'e/E' toggles were
already present as a means of scaling (albeit memory).

[ this toggle will also serve an educational purpose ]

71eb90c1b2 top: refactor 'scale_tics' function for better scaling
This patch refactors the 'scale_tics' function to more
closely parallel uptime shown on the first line of the
summary area. The old logic has been preserved through
the header file's new  #define SCALE_FORMER provision.

However, the former logic was actually a big disaster.
These are some potential problems with that old logic:

1. With respect to our time fields top no longer deals
solely with cpu time. So, the old limits of '68 weeks'
could possibly be insufficient to reflect those times.

2. Given the widths of top's new time fields, the code
never got beyond scaling to hours. For example, with a
ridiculously large span of 19 years, the scaled result
would then be shown as '167832h'. We never reached the
days ('6993d') or even the weeks ('999w') equivalents.

3. Similarly, with that 'TIME+' field and a large tics
value, results would then appear as 'MMMMMM:SS' rather
than the more meaningful 'HH:MM:SS' or days and hours.

So henceforth we will adopt these scaling conventions:

  MMM:SS.hh ... minutes:seconds.hundredths
  MMM:SS ...... minutes:seconds
  HH,MM ....... hours,minutes
  D+H ......... days+hours (with 'd' & 'h' suffixes)
  D ........... days (with 'd' suffix)
  W+D ......... weeks+days (with 'w' & 'd' suffixes)
  W ........... weeks (with 'w' suffix)

Note that, unlike our former scaling logic, that 'MMM'
portion won't be allowed to grow unconditionally. It's
limited (arbitrarily?) to 360 total minutes (6 hours).
Additionally, the 'HH' guy will be limited to 96 hours
(4 days) while that 'D' limit was set at 14 (2 weeks).

Whenever a limit is hit, scaling will advance a level.

9348d3b008 top: added some elapsed running time 'ELAPSED' support
When the 'STARTED' field was added, in the message for
the commit referenced below, I explained why 'ELAPSED'
shouldn't be implemented though it might be preferred.

Well, after climbing out of my box to do a little more
thinking, I came up with the way to add that 'ELAPSED'
field while avoiding the possible performance penalty.

Just do not show what would change with every refresh!

If we do not show the seconds portion of a scaled tics
amount then the problem goes away. And this comes with
an additional benefit. The HH,MM (hours,minutes) style
then is readily compared with that system uptime shown
as HH:MM. The only difference is just the comma/colon.

[ assuming the top uptime/load average toggle was on ]

a749414f16 top: tweaked the recently introduced 'STARTED' support
When the 'STARTED' field was added, the width was made
the same as the 'TIME+' field. Thus, a full time could
be shown (which then included hundredths of a second).

That kind of granularity is totally unnecessary. After
all, this column is potentially confusing enough since
it is so counterintuitive. So, this commit will reduce
the width of the field with some help from scale_tics.

Henceforth it will not include those ol' centiseconds.

7647e96b0a top: added fields for 'start time' & 'cpu utilization'
This patch will exploit some new library capabilities.

[ one will raise eyebrows, the other likely will not ]

A new 'STARTED' field was added which shows the time a
process started after system boot. As such the largest
interval represents the most recently started process.

This is the field that will likely be questioned since
it's somewhat counterintuitive. But were we to instead
use TIME_ELAPSED, the value will change with every top
refresh. This will defeat any PUFF macro optimization.

The new '%CUU' field will probably be better received.
It represents the cpu usage over the life of the task.
When a process was showing high %CPU usage, this field
can be used to determine if it's an anomaly or normal.

[ and as with %CPU, %CUU shows a '?' when running in ]
[ a namespace when /proc was mounted with subset=pid ]

focused tasks does not exceed the current screen rows.

Thus, the manual scrolling with up and down arrow keys
is allowed when the total focused exceeds screen rows.

As the issue cited below illustrates, a pids namespace
with proc mounted as subset=pid denies our library any
access to non-task data. In top's case, the result was
a fatal error message which involved "cpu statistics".

With this patch top will now assume an error involving
global cpu (stat) or memory (meminfo) data means we're
running under a restricted pids namespace. As such, an
attempt will be made to still display task level data.

[ if our assumption is incorrect, it's of no matter. ]
[ instead of a fatal error, we'll still try to offer ]
[ a user some minimally useful bit of functionality. ]

957b74292f ps,top: convert 'PIDS_PROCESSOR' into a signed integer
Not only does that library tweak help to simplify some
top code, but now that ps snprintf fmtstr will finally
be accurate. That is two birdies with a single pebble!

ad51fef1aa top: tweak some end-of-job logic when separate threads
The separate threads for background updates were added
to top in the commit shown below. At that time cleanup
logic was added to end-of-job processing to cancel any
active threads and destroy any semaphores then in use.

That seemed like simple good stewardship with an added
benefit of avoiding potential valgrind 'possibly lost'
warnings for 320 byte blocks. Those blocks represented
an initial stack allocation for each of three threads.

All of that worked perfectly if such code was executed
under the main thread. In other words, if the keyboard
or a signal directed to any thread was used to trigger
program end. However, it might not always be the case.

Each of those 'refresh' routines supporting a separate
thread interacts with a newlib interface. As a result,
each is required to check the library's return result.
Should some error be detected, 'error_exit' is called.
Now we've got big problems with that eoj cleanup code.

One can't 'pthread_cancel' and 'pthread_join' a thread
from withing that same thread. Thus, when an error was
returned by the library with threads active, top would
hang with no possibility of removal short of a reboot.

So, this commit only executes that cancel/join cleanup
code when we are running under the main thread. Should
program end be triggered by a library error under some
sibling thread, all such cleanup will now be bypassed.
In the latter case, we will rely on documentation that
says any thread calling exit(3) will end every thread.

[ now, the only time we'll see any valgrind warnings ]
[ is with a library error, which is the least likely ]
[ scenario for running valgrind & top to begin with. ]

[ besides, if the valgrind warnings became a problem ]
[ one could easily add a 'warning-suppression' file. ]

5d09875488 top: only use 'pthread_sigmask' under separate threads
When multi-threading was introduced in the patch shown
below, the former calls to sigprocmask were traded for
a pthread_sigmask call. This was done unconditionally.

As a result, even when those threads weren't enabled a
need to link with libpthread was created. In hindsight
the need should only arise when top is multi-threaded.

This commit will make pthread_sigmask use conditional.

67c150ed7c top: restore ending ']' when summary graphs are scaled
When a visual separator was added to 2 abreast summary
items in a recent commit, this bug was introduced. So,
from that earlier patch we'll revert one line of code.

The bug surfaced under an 80/even column terminal only
when that '4' toggle was off. With an an 81/odd column
screen, it existed in both single and 2 abreast modes.

[ this commit also goes the extra distance to ensure ]
[ two abreast mode maximizes available screen width. ]

a5b51bc417 top: revert part of a patch regarding separate threads
In the patch referenced below, some logic was moved in
that frame_make function in an effort to overlap those
background threads with additional main thread duties.

Unfortunately, the auto-size column feature was broken
in the process. So this patch will revert a portion of
the earlier patch so as to restore the broken feature.

69978e3650 top: ensure those potential focused tasks stay focused
When that 'F' focus command has been applied to a task
in forest view it should remain as the topmost process
in a particular window. But without this patch that is
not guaranteed. Newly forked/cloned tasks 'above' such
a process result in task(s) appearing which shouldn't.

The effect was as if that up arrow key scrolled beyond
the topmost parent task, which would never be allowed.

[ since scrolling is permitted within a focus range, ]
[ when any task 'above' our focus/topmost task ends, ]
[ we respond as if scrolled with the down arrow key. ]

[ that result is completely appropriate. if the user ]
[ wishes to return to a focused parent, the up arrow ]
[ or home key can be used to accomplish such a goal. ]
