Since the decision was made to also add that Linux-4.5
support (was only in this newlib branch) to our master
branch, a tweak to newlib's top is necessary. In order
to share the rcfile between them, any fields unique to
a branch must appear last in it's list of enumerators.
And the troublesome field in question above is CGNAME.
It doesn't matter if a unique field is on or off, only
that it, as a higher enum/char, appear after all other
shared fields. Otherwise one risks the 'corrupt' error
message from the top without that field or the display
of the wrong column in the top with that unique field.
[ and strictly speaking, the changes under top_nls.c ]
[ were technically not really necessary. however, we ]
[ choose to maintain strict ordering via enum value. ]

Now that the conditional OOMEM_ENABLE has been removed
and all users exposed to those 'out of memory' fields,
it's about time we added them to the top man document.
But before doing so, it's long past time that they are

. excessive width on that oomem score itself (8 vs. 4)

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
This patch just represents the initial library and top

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.

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
the provision associated with the CPU_ZEROTICS #define

case such logic may yet be incorporated in the future.
But for now, that #define has been completely removed.

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.

Boy I hate locale stuff. For code I thought was pretty
robust, Jaromir sure proved that it wasn't. Anyway, me
thinks this commit closes some gaps and will cause top
to behave appropriately under various locale settings.
It does *not* permit top to respond to the ',' and '.'
floating point separator without regard to the locale.
It does, however, enforce proper LC_NUMERIC responses.
Let's look on this commit as an interim solution until
Jaromir can create that proposed 'fp_decode' function.
Who knows, he might even borrow some of our mkfloat().
[ An aside: the coreutils sleep and timeout programs ]
[ claim to permit floating point arguments. However, ]
[ neither one will accept the comma separator should ]
[ the locale be a country that in fact uses a comma. ]

While the 'b' toggle remains window based (vs. global)
it should no longer require that the window be visible
and either the 'x' or 'y' toggles to be on. Previously
those requirements were intended to remind a user that
there must be something for this command to highlight.
With the introduction of graph modes (specifically the
the bar graph) the 'bold/reverse' toggle has important
implications beyond highlighting some columns or rows.
The %Cpu(s) graph and Mem portion of the memory graphs
are designed to offer a visual clue as to the separate
elements comprising them. But that separation could be
lost under some X color schemes or when top is running
without color (in monochrome mode) and the block graph
is selected. But, if the graph is then changed to bars
any separation always becomes visible whenever the 'b'
toggle is turned off. Portions then show in 'reverse'.
So from now on we'll check nothing, we'll just toggle.
[ Besides, with all the code thrown at restricting a ]
[ 'b' toggle use, it might have all been for naught. ]
[ That toggle could still be set/unset using the 'Z' ]

Since its inception top has always used enumerators to
identify displayable fields. They've taken the form of
P_PID, etc. As it turns out, something has changed for
libc6-dev versions beyond 2.17-93 wherein 'P_PID' will
now be exposed via stdlib.h. I have not pinpointed the
exact cause but it may depend on header include order.
This patch just trades top's long standing 'P_' prefix
convention for that of 'EU_' (short for enumerator). I
cannot find *any* header under /usr/include/ currently
utilizing this particular three character combination.
And as a further safeguard top will henceforth include
'system' specific headers after the standard includes.

This commit extends the top Summary Area cpu states to
include information on Non-Uniform Memory Architecture
nodes. It is based upon changes originally proposed by
Lance Shelton who was instrumental in the final patch.
With this change, the user will have new commands that
will provide alternatives to the individual cpu stats:
. '2' toggles between cpu & numa node summary displays
. '3' provides node summary and related cpu statistics
These extensions required some minimal system support.
Typically, the numactl package (and maybe libnuma-dev)
are all that's needed to show a single node which owns
all the processors. Failing that, or for slightly more
variety, top also offers a #define named PRETEND_NUMA.

While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and

standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.
Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them
but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit:
. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section
Thus, given those constraints/objectives, and in order
to prepare for an upcoming Other_Filter feature, a few
things had to be renamed and rearranged. Plus a couple
of other (unrelated) tweaks were made for consistency.

Prior to this commit, top has always taken the easiest

This commit is an unrequested outgrowth of the earlier
change dealing with summary area memory field scaling.
That user selectable scaling provision is now extended
to include 6 (at present) task oriented memory fields.
The new companion 'e' (lower case) interactive command
has been added and, like the 'E' command, it can cycle
each of the currently displayed memory columns between
KiB through TiB. There are, however, some differences.
Where '+' indicates summary area truncation at a given
radix, task memory fields are automatically scaled for
their column. Thus, not all rows use the same scaling.
And, while summary area field widths were not changed,
the task memory columns were widened in order to offer
more meaningful data when the radix was increased. The
precision is automatically increased in step with each
radix: MiB displays 2 decimal places, GiB 3 and TiB 4.
To compliment that additional precision, both the %CPU
and %MEM fields were widened by 1 column and now offer
precision up to 3 decimal places. But, unique to %CPU,
widening could already have occurred due to the number
of processors in some massively parallel boxes. At any
rate, total extra width for both memory and percentage
fields could amount to twenty (precious) columns more.
So for both the memory and % fields the original width
(along with loss of precision) can be restored via new
compiler conditionals which this commit also provides.
p.s. and it will be rcfile preserved for any restarts!

Previously top would warn users if an older version of
an rcfile was about to be overwritten. That's assuming
that RCFILE_NOERR was not defined. This left, however,
other potential rcfile issues or questions unattended.
For example, if a faulty 'inspect' redirected echo had
overwritten all window entries or if the inspect entry
was not 'pipe' or 'file' (actually, just a 'p' or 'f')
then top would silently accept it but look no further.
With this commit top will try to process every inspect
entry, while preserving unrecognized entries. Plus all
other non-fatal rcfile errors will now alert a user to
the potential overwrite when the 'W' command is given.
