If you have the watched program doing some other thing every time its
run and you resize the window, you might get unexpected results. The
-r option lets you run only when the interval has expired.

When the p/e-cores support (via the '5' key) was added
in the patch referenced below, I intentionally omitted
that key from the top primary help screen. This seemed
appropriate since it only applied to select Intel cpus
and, besides, that screen was getting kind of crowded.
[ it remains an objective to fit on a 80x24 terminal ]
Upon reflection, I found a way to squeeze it into that
help screen and have decided to included it. Hopefully
its presence will encourage use of top's new provision
on any Intel platforms that distinguish between cores.

If procps is built on a Linux 5.3+ system then pidwait
is built with pidfd_open(). If that program is run on
a system < 5.3 then it gives an odd generic error.
If we get a ENOSYS from one pid, we will get it for all
the others so its better to explain what happens and terminate.
The man page is updated to note this issue.
This came up due to killall in psmisc using pidfd_send_signal

On occasion, even as the top author, I wonder why that
'x' toggle has stopped working. Of course, it actually
was working but a locate request ('L') or other filter
('O') operation was active and thus temporarily turned
if off. Such behavior is documented in top's man page.
Well, with this patch that 'x' suppression is no more.
[ the original justification, however, remains true. ]

When the globbing update was put into sysctl, you could no longer
simply use the keys because one key could potentially be
multiple paths once the glob expansion occured. Using the path
instead gave a unique output.
Except certain programs, such as salt, expected the output to use
the dotted path "kernel.hostname" and not "kernel/hostname".
We can no longer use the original key, so now for each path:
Copy the path
strip off /proc/
convert all / to .
The sysctl testsuite was also updated to check for a few different
types of conversion failures.

The previous commit used the value from mbstowcs() to work out
the spacing required, as printf() got it completely wrong.
However, for alignment of text you don't use the string length
but the string width.
As the referenced website says:
Use wcslen when allocating memory for wide characters, and use wcswidth to
align text.
Which is what free does now. Chinese is still off by one but I cannot
see why this is so. It's close enough for now. If someone can work
it out, I'd love to know what the fix is.
As a side effect, #213 is fixed because we are putting the correct
number of spaces in.
French is still an issue (see #24 ) but this is because the string is
too long!

free has for many years had a problem with translated header columns
or the first column. This is because printf("-9s", str) doesn't use
the wide length of the string but the char length meaning they are
mis-aligned.
Using the mbstowcs() function to get the wide length and then
a precision parameter to append the right number of spaces after the
number means we get what we need.

You can match or filter on cgroup paths. Currently the match is only
done for version 2 cgroups because these are way simpler as they have
a unified name and always start with "0::".
cgroup v1 can have:
named groups "1:name=myspecialname:"
controllers "9:blkio:"
multiple controllers! "4:cpu,cpuacct:"
So they are very much more complicated from a options parsing and
cgroup matching point of view.
In addition, both my Debian bookworm and bullseye systems use
v2 cgroups.

This MR revisits a partial fix from 2018. The problem stems from incorrect
handling of unsigned 32-bit uid_ts and gid_ts as signed when values are
large - i.e. when the high bit is set. In that case, pgrep and pkill fail to
identify processes by uid. (They succeed when finding the same processes by
username.) The primary fix for this is to impliment the "FIXME" comment in
proc/readproc.h, the implementation of which allows the removal of the (int)
casts from the partial fix from 2018.
The other fixed code in this MR consists of tests in strict_atol() that
detects and errors out on overflows.
