With the help of our Swedish translator, hopefully the
final buglet has now been vanquished in the multi-byte
translation support. This one was a real nasty bugger.
Although it didn't occur with every terminal emulator,
occasionally random text lines were being chopped off.
As it turns out, those terminals were blameless. There
were two separate places in top's show_special routine
where potential multi-byte sequences were inadequately
addressed. Solution: exploit existing utf-8 functions.
[ it also became apparent that the translation hints ]
[ in the top_nls module were deficient. so a special ]
[ caution was added regarding the final line of txt. ]

Unlike the insp_mkrow_raw function the insp_mkrow_utf8
routine is not equipped to print non-ctl, non-printing
characters like '<7f>'. However, technically that very
value currently slips through the cracks. So with this
patch top will now print a space in the unlikely event
a character with the value of 127 is ever encountered.

The ps program generally supports multi-byte sequences
in strings representing user and group names. However,
should a multi-byte sequence span the maximum width of
a column, the '+' inserted by ps to signify truncation
will corrupt that sequence, misaligning the text line.
Unfortunately, there's insufficient info returned from
the escape_str function (who calls escape_str_utf8) to
provide a robust response. So, this commit will revert
to the old standby of displaying a number when the '+'
character would've corrupted that multi-byte sequence.

Translatable column headers are supposed to be limited
to no more than 7 characters, even though some columns
are wider than that or even variable width. That value
of 7 is dictated by the Fields Management screen which
will otherwise truncate a column header longer than 7.
Our new utf-8 support did not adequately deal with the
potential need for truncation of column headers should
that limit of 7 be exceeded. This patch corrects that.

The previous commit implemented multi-byte support for
the basic top user interaction and display provisions.
This commit completes multi-byte support by addressing
that 'Inspect Other Output' feature (the 'Y' command).
Few people probably exploit this very powerful feature
which allows the perusing of any file or piped output.
And even if nobody uses 'Y', someone will stumble over
it on the help screen and try it out. Assuming top was
not built with INSP_OFFDEMO defined, they'll end up on
the screen our translators have faithfully translated.
Without this patch, such a screen would display with a
bunch of 'unprintable' characters which will then show
in the standard (less-like) way as: '^A', '<C3>', etc.
In other words, those poor screens will be a big mess!
[ this program can even display an executable binary ]
[ while at that same time supporting Find/Find Next. ]
[ imagine, a file with no guarantee of real strings! ]
[ just try a Find using less with such binary files. ]
With this commit, the translated 'Y' demo screens will
now be properly shown, providing no invalid multi-byte
characters have been detected. Should that be the case
then they'll be displayed in that less-like way above.
And, if users go on to fully exploit this 'Y' command,
there is a good chance that a file or pipe might yield
output in a utf-8 multi-byte form. Should that be true
such output will thus be handled appropriately by top.
[ in many respects, this change was more challenging ]
[ than the basic support within the previous commit. ]
[ story of my life: least used = most effort needed. ]

a proper test of these changed 'Y' command provisions:

When this project first began implementing translation
support nearly 6 years ago, we overcame many 'gettext'
obstacles and limitations. And, of course, there were
not any actual translations at the time so our testing
was quite limited plus, in many cases, only simulated.
None of that, however, can justify or excuse the total
lack of attention to top's approach to NLS, especially
since some actual translations have existed for years.
When the issue referenced below was raised, I suffered
immediate feelings of anxiety, doubt and pending doom.
This was mostly because top strives to avoid line wrap
at all costs and that did not bode well for multi-byte
translated strings, using several bytes per character.
I was also concerned over possible performance impact,
assuming it was even possible to properly handle utf8.
But, after wrestling with the problem for several days
those initial feelings have now been replaced by guilt
over any trouble I initially caused those translators.
One can only imagine how frustrating it must have been
after the translation effort to then see top display a
misaligned column header and fields management page or
truncated screens like those of help or color mapping.
------------------------------------------------------
Ok, with that off my chest let's review these changes,
now that top properly handles UTF8 multi-byte strings.
. Performance - virtually all of this newly added cost
for multi-byte support is incurred during interactions
with the user. So, performance is not really an issue.
The one occasion when performance is impacted is found
during 'summary_show()' processing, due to an addition
of one new call to 'utf8_delta()' in 'show_special()'.
. Extra Wide Characters - I have not yet and may never
figure out a way to support languages like zh_CN where
the characters can be wider than most other languages.
. Translated User Name - at some future point we could
implement translation of user names. But as the author
of the issue acknowledged such names are non-standard.
Thus task display still incurs no new multi-byte costs
beyond those already incurred in that escape.c module.
For raising the issue I extend my sincerest thanks to:
Göran Uddeborg

Until this patch, top falsely assumed that there would
always be some (small) amount of physical memory after
subtracting 'used' and 'available' from the total. But
as the issue referenced below attests, a sum of 'used'
and 'available' might exceed that total memory amount.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with our calculation
of the 'used' amount, a flaw in the kernel 'available'
algorithms or some other reason I cannot even imagine.
Anyway, this patch protects against such a contingency
through the following single line addition of new code
. if (pct_used + pct_misc > 100.0 || pct_misc < 0) ...
The check for less than zero is not actually necessary
as long as the source numbers remain unsigned. However
should they ever become signed, we'll have protection.

For the past 3 years top has fully honored that locale

That preceding commit corrected a little mismanagement
regarding the MEMINFO_MEM_CACHED enumerator, which was
used in the following programs: free, top plus vmstat.
This patch simply adapts those programs to use the new
MEMINFO_MEM_CACHED_ALL enumerator, which reflects both
the 'Cached' plus 'SReclaimable' values they expected.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
The <meminfo> module attempted to duplicate the former
sysinfo memory calculations wherein 'SReclaimable' was
added to 'Cached' for the 'kb_main_cached' equivalent.
But, this original approach was wrong for two reasons.
1. The addition occurred too late to impact the 'USED'
calculation which could then cause an underflow in the
top memory display if 'SReclaimable' was heavily used.
2. In changing the actual /proc/meminfo 'Cached' value
it meant that users could not rely on that proc(5) man
page when interpreting the MEMINFO_MEM_CACHED results.
So this commit adds a new enumerator for the inclusive
cached amount plus repositions the calculation so that
a MEMINFO_MEM_USED result will exclude 'SReclaimable'.

This was supposed to be just a cherry-pick of the referenced
commit. However there were two problems:
1. kill code was moved out to its own file
2. strtosig() had a latent bug where signal numbers were not
converted to names.
Original note:
kill -lHUP would work correctly, but kill -l HUP would not.
The list option in kill was hit by a quirk of getopt_long where an
option with an optional argument would not attempt to get the argument
beyond the space, even though a mandatory argument would do that.
The fix is a kludge to scan to the next argument and if it looks
like something we can use, use it. Lucky for us, the list option is
one where parsing can stop immediately.
Thanks to Brian Vandenberg for the way forward.

When those standardized 'derived' TIC enumerators were
introduced, a problem with potential DELTA distortions
was also introduced when toggling cpus offline/online.
It has always been true that the 1st (summary) line in
/proc/stat will experience a decrease in total tics if
a new cpu is brought online. Such decreases are mostly
due to reductions in 'idle' and 'iowait' tics. Exactly
why such a counterintuitive phenomenon should occur is
a mystery, but this has been acknowledged in proc.txt.
A separate potential distortion arises with individual
cpus. And, here it extends to both bringing processors
online plus taking them offline too. When that happens
the order of the cpus array tracking is upset, placing
the 'new' values in some other processor's array slot.
But even if we were to occupy the same slot, the issue
regarding reductions in 'idle' & 'iowait' still apply.
In all cases, when a DELTA field was found to be minus
it was forced to zero via the 'TICsetH' macro. However
the 'derived' calculations are subject to new forms of
distortion with their own DELTA values. For example we
could find DELTA_SUM_USER + DELTA_SUM_SYSTEM exceeding
DELTA_SUM_TOTAL, an illogical/inappropriate condition.
So this commit moves former protections for individual
cpus to the stat_derive_unique() function and modifies
it to also extend protections to the 'derived' values.
In the process we now protect the cpu 'summary' counts
which were unfortunately previously overlooked (oops).

All of top's display was designed to fit into an 80x24
terminal. This includes the help screens plus both the
Summary and Task Areas, assuming no saved config file.
With release 3.3.10, the startup defaults were changed
assuming ./configure --disable-modern-top wasn't used.
This was done in the hope of introducing some users to
unknown capabilities such as colors, forest view, etc.
The purpose of this commit is to coax a few more users
into possibly exploring another capability: scrolling.
We do so by tweaking the default startup display so as
to show full command lines. Now, when things no longer
fit in 80x24, horizontal scrolling might be exploited.

If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
program displays each cpu individually providing there
is sufficient vertical screen real estate. For massive
SMP environments this will necessitate use of a config
file where the cpu summary toggle ('1') could be saved
via the 'W' command. But, an rcfile may not be viable.
So this commit introduces a '1' command line switch to
emulate exactly the effects of the interactive toggle.
And since it is our first numeric switch some existing
parsing logic had to be changed slightly. Such changes
are, in truth, an improvement. For example, instead of
seeing "inappropriate '2'" with ./top -2 we'll now see
the vastly more appropriate error "unknown option '2'.

In their 3.2.7 version of top, Redhat introduced an -M
switch to automatically scale Summary Area memory data
to avoid truncation (and the resulting '+' indicator).
The procps-ng top does not employ suffixes with memory
data nor does it allow for different scaling with each
separate value. Rather, scaling appears at line start.
If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
Summary Area memory will be scaled at GiB which should
lessen chance of truncation. Otherwise KiB was used to
reflect such memory, increasing the truncation chance.
And while 'W' can be used to preserve some appropriate
scaling value, there are arguments against such rcfile
approaches as cited in the issue and bug report below.
So this commit will bump the Summary Area memory scale
factor from KiB to MiB when using --disable-modern-top
as a concession to that Redhat bug report noted below.
And it also introduces a new command line switch which
can force any desired scaling regardless of the rcfile
or which ./configure option might have been specified.

After much reflection I've come to the conclusion that
displaying 3 decimal places (usually) when memory data
had been scaled is no longer optimal with today's ever
increasing amounts. And given that not all task memory
fields are the same widths, inconsistencies can easily
arise as illustrated and discussed in the issue below.
Instead of unilaterally reducing the number of decimal
places, this commit will sneak in such a change via an
existing configure option that was very likely unused.
The former 'disable-wide-memory' option has now become
'enable-wide-memory', which can be used if the current
behavior (3 decimal places) is preferred. Without that
option, whenever memory is scaled beyond KiB, just one
decimal place will be shown in Summary and Task areas.
And Task area field width will no longer be changed by
this revised configure option. Instead, all such field
widths will now be fixed at the former maximum values.

Original report:
When trying kill a process with insufficient privileges (see blow),
pkill displays the error message “... failed: Operation not permitted”,
but returns 0. Surely it should return 3?
$ pkill syslogd ; echo $?
pkill: killing pid 373 failed: Operation not permitted
0
Return value 0 means one of more things matched. For a pgrep (which
shares code with pkill) this makes sense, there was a match. It seems
wrong for pkill to return 0 when it in fact could not do what you told
it to. However return value 3 means a fatal error and it's not fatal.
Looking at other programs when trying to kill things it cannot kill.
shell kill returns 1, procps kill returns 1, killall returns 1, skill
returns 0 (and says it was successful!, ah well poor old skill)
The consensus seems to be that you return 1 if you cannot kill it, even
if you found it. In other words the return value for both not found and
not able to kill it is the same.
pkill only returns 0 if something was killed. This means we found a
match AND the kill() system call worked too.
