Have skill_sig_option sanitize the command line by properly decrementing
*argc after moving the arguments to remove the -signal one.
One bug caused by this issue was when running `kill -1`, then the code
would interpret -1 as both SIGHUP and as process group -1 and send
SIGHUP to all of them. Or `kill -28` which would send SIGWINCH to
process group -2 (in another bug, the -pgid support only accepts a
single digit, fix for that bug will follow.)
This also reverts commit 7610b3128e ("skill: fix command line with
signal") which worked around this bug in `skill` and also removes the
"sigopt" hack which worked around this bug in `kill`.
The skill_sig_option implementation is compatible with signal_option()
from pgrep.c. I plan to factor them out into a single source file in a
follow up commit, to prevent the duplication.
This commit fixes the issues reported above. I also tested the issues
from commit 7610b3128e, `skill -9 -t pts/0` works as expected, also
tried `kill` with -signal and a number of pids and it worked as
expected.
Also tested that `make check` and `make distcheck` keep working.

The calls for reading diskstat have been moved out of
sysinfo and into new files diskstat.[ch] These new
library calls follow the standard pattern for the
new libprocps.
vmstat is updated to use the new API and also got
the weighted IO time added.
vmstat -p previously would only show partitions, not
disks. There does not appear to be any good reason to
artifically deny a user to use this command on a disk,
rather than a partition so this restriction was lifted.
I also realised using int for devid means you can send
the library negative numbers, the index uses unsigned int.
Other similiar calls will need to be fixed too.

This is actually a systemcall getpagesize(2) or it is defined
in configure using a variety of methods, including a default
hard coded value as a last resort.
There is no need to have this in libprocps
Now that the dust is settling following an initial API
library effort, it is apparent my naming standards may
not have always been observed. This was a minor crime,
since those standards are unwritten (& not apparent?).
Basically, top has always capitalized the first letter
of global variables in an effort to distinguish global
definitions from local variables later in the program.
So this patch alters the new API variables to conform,
while also explicitly using 'context' for key structs.
Lastly, top now employs the new '#include <proc/name>'
conventions for the new/converted module header files.

The new library meminfo & vmstat modules use structure
names for their context which exactly mirror the names
of the very /proc/ files whose particulars they yield.
The one exception to this rule was the readstat module
whose struct was named statinfo yet the file was stat.
This commit simply renames that structure (only) so as
to hopefully establish such a naming convention as our
standard going forward. And, it's makes good symmetry.

The earlier attempt at protecting these functions from
already freed memory worked just fine until the memory
was, in fact, reused by the OS. At that point, the ref
count would most likely fail an existing a test for 0.
So this commit will take control of the 'info' pointer
and force it to NULL when a reference count reaches 0.
Plus, since it makes little sense returning an address
that a caller already has, henceforth we will return a
reference count out of the 'ref' and 'unref functions.

Procps library previously held functions that were about either
listing or finding signal names. These are not really the right
location for a library about reading procfs.
This patch handles signal related functions in two ways:
For functions purely found in skill, these have been moved back
into this binary as they are used nowhere else.
For functions used across the binaries, these have been moved
into include/signals.h and lib/signals.c. Besides formatting,
these functions are largely the same.
To assist the skill functions, two functions to access the
signal map array have been added to lib/signals.c
This commit is mostly about eliminating code, now that
a library is responsible for the cpu tics maintenance.
The top program will continue to provide numa support,

With this transfer of the cpu tics duty to our library

There was not a way I could see to support top's needs
for cpu information with the new 'chained' provisions.
The sheer quantity of such data plus the unpredictable
number of potential processors suggested a totally new
approach was warranted while keeping internals opaque.
So this patch introduces two new structures solely for
use by potential callers (as seen in the API). They're
responsible for providing them to the library which is
then responsible for filling them with requested data.
The top program will continue to provide numa support,
without involving the library in any of those details.

Since we are not using a higher level standard C fopen
all of the read requests were made signal sensitive as

This commit represents the pioneering attempt at using
the concept of 'chained' library requests in an effort
to reduce function call overhead. It required exposing
no more implementation details than were already shown
through the individual calls, yet is satisfied in one.
It is just such an approach that will prove invaluable
when it comes time to access individual /proc/##/data.
Programs could 'chain' only those 'results' structures
representing their current view independent of all the
fields any such programs might be prepared to display.
Thus the standard 'read', which wouldn't apply to task
level data very well (or efficiently), can now become
a 'read_chain' whereby the former PROC_FILL flags need
can be satisfied & yield the minimum open/close calls.

This patch fills in some missing fields which have top
dependencies. Additionally, I've tried to mirror those
calculations Jaromir added for release 3.3.10. The one
calculation that remains missing is 'available' memory
for some kernels. For this API, we'll use a fall-back.
Lastly the lxc safeguards which were recently added to
the old procps library were incorporated here as well.

Created new set of functions for meminfo related calls. Liked the
format of that better so changed vmstat around so the look similar.
Missed the makefile change for uptime so added it in now.
Removed the printf_uptime, binaries can do printf easily enough.
sprint_uptime split into two as there wasn't a lot of common
code
sprint_uptime(): old style uptime line
sprint_uptime_short(): short new style "uptime -p"
Hertz_hack needed this, no sane system uses the code (I think)
so just assume 100 like we do in FreeBSD.
Use the standard libc declarations.
For protecting the headers for C++ procps used to have its
own defines, this change makes them use the standard libc ones.
getstat() -> procps_stat_*
vminfo() -> procps_vmstat_*

Please let's stop the nls translation insanity. With a

This patch was made necessary by those library changes
in support of recently revised/simplified wchan logic.
In addition, this commit eliminates a broken alternate
'namelist' provision which was intended to allow users
to specify a System.map file to be used in translating
addresses into function names. But, the real effect of
the now defunct 'N' and '-n' options was to indirectly
force addresses (not names) to be displayed since such
user named map files could not be successfully parsed.
Besides when the required FRAME_POINTER kconfig option
is absent there is no address to translate and when it
is present /proc/PID/wchan is already translated. Thus
an alternate mapping is unnecessary and inappropriate.

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.
