lseek(2) is used to write each of them.

Since the value of number_of_signals is known at compile time, we can
use a compile-time check instead. This also adds SIGLOST for the Hurd,
uses the correct signal counts for the Hurd and FreeBSD, and only gives
a compile-time warning when compiled on an unknown platform that it does
not know whether the number of signals is correct.
There is no longer justification for placing a typedef
employed in overriding that alloc.h message handler in
the procps.h header file. So this commit just moves it

Way back in November of 2011, the library was equipped
with an overridable error message handler function. It
was done expressly for a program like top which alters
the tty. But that support was withdrawn shortly after.
This was all done in the lead up to v3.3.2. That's the
release where NLS support was added and it represented
a hectic time. In hindsight, the changes went too far.
So this commit, in a minimal fashion, restores ability
to address a potential fatal library error. After all,
any properly behaving library would never unilaterally
subject a caller to a stderr message and then an exit.

Profiling revealed a large amount of time spent in the
'escape_str_utf8' function (escape.c) with both of our
NLS branches (newlib and master). That same result was
not seen under an ancient top-3.2.8 program & library.
Well, the 3.2.8 result was ultimately explained by the
absence of a 'setlocale', necessary under NLS support.
Thus, when that ancient library tested for locale, all
it got was 'ANSI_...' & assumed 'UTF-8' wasn't active.
But after a hack to that ancient code to place it on a
par with newlib/master, I still found cost differences
that led me to revisit an old change referenced below.
It turns out that 'iswprint' costs far more than would
a call of 'isprint', even with the extra support code.
So this commit just reverts that five year old change.

For a specific slice of kernel versions we can get a better
estimate of the available memory before the "real" available
figure appears around kernel 3.2
However, that middle method requires a /proc/sys/vm directory.
FreeBSD 9.x used to emulate a < 2.6.27 kernel procfs meaning
it never tried the middle method. FreeBSD 10.x emulates something
more modern, but without the available figure and without a
/proc/sys/vm, so the library falls into a hole.

The procps library attempts to work out the tty of a process
through several methods. For things like /dev/tty123 or
/dev/foo it works fine.
For tty devices that put the minor number in a directory
of the major name this fails. So then we have to fallback
to stating things like the processes STDERR and try again.
Considering a lot of processes sit on ttys such as
/dev/pts/3 this is a lot of wasted time. At the point of
entering driver_name we know "/dev/pts" and we know "3"
we just didn't join them up the right way as this is old
code.
This change now looks for /dev/pts/3 as well. It does it
after looking for /dev/pts3 so the behaviour is the same.

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.

This commit adds a lxc container name to every proc_t.
If a process is not running in a container, then a '-'
will be provided, making such a field always sortable.
Unlike other proc_t character pointers, lxc containers
will find many duplicate shared values. So rather than
strdup 'em (with a later free required upon reuse), we
try to keep track of those already seen and share that
address among all tasks running within each container.
We rely on the lines in the task's cgroup subdirectory
which may initially seem somewhat unsophisticated. But
the lxc library itself uses a similar approach when it
is called to list active containers. In that case, the
/proc/net/unix directory is parsed for the '/lxc' eye-
catcher, with potential complications from hashed path
and names that are too long (something we don't face).

Under a lxc container, the /proc/meminfo 'MemFree' and
'MemAvailable' amounts will be equal, unless memory is
being limited via cgroups in which case 'MemAvailable'
could exceed that for 'MemTotal'. And when a container
has been nested, there exist additional memory quirks.
A program might then display used or available amounts
greater than total memory (assuming unsigned honored),
or negative values (should a signed cast be employed).
This anomaly primarily impacted the top and free pgms.
Thus, two simple sanity checks have been introduced to
avoid any illogical kb_main_available or kb_main_used.
( Busybox top & free also display anomalous although )

This commit adds support for fallback calculation
of the MemAvailable field if not exported by the
kernel. The MemAvailable field appeared in kernel
3.14, but it's possible to calculate it from other
fields since 2.6.27 (splitLRU changes).
Nowadays the usernames can be 32 characters long
(typically OpenShift usernames use the whole length)
and the old limit was preventing us from processing
them correctly.
The macro change affects the proc_t structure size.
This commit adds a new switch -a/--available that
appends a new column called 'available' to the
output. The column displays an estimation
of how much memory is available for starting
new applications, without swapping. Unlike the data
provided by the 'cached' or 'free' fields, this
field takes into account page cache and also that
not all reclaimable memory slabs will be reclaimed
due to items being in use.
The subtraction was marked as reinforcing the misconception,
that memory in the page cache can be considered free.
The Cached value is not a sum of page cache and tmpfs,
as the tmpfs memory lives in the page cache and therefore
it's an inseparable part of it.
tmpfs has become much more widely used since distributions use it for
/tmp (Fedora 18+). In /proc/meminfo, memory used by tmpfs is accounted
into "Cached" (aka "NR_FILE_PAGES",
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/mm/shmem.c#L301 ).
The tools just pass it on, so what top, free and vmstat report as
"cached" is the sum of page cache and tmpfs.
free has the extremely useful "-/+ buffers/cache" output. However, now
that tmpfs is accounted into "cached", those numbers are way off once
you have big files in /tmp.
Fortunately, kernel 2.6.32 introduces "Shmem", which makes tmpfs memory
usage accessible from userspace (
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4b02108ac1b3354a22b0d83c684797692efdc395 ).
This patch substracts Shmem from Cached to get the actual page cache
memory. This makes both issues mentioned above disappear. For older
kernels, Shmem is not available (hence zero) and this patch is no-op.
Additionally:
* Update the man pages of free and vmstat to explain what is happening
* Finally drop "MemShared" from the /proc/meminfo parser, it has been
dead for 10+ years and is only causing confusion ( removed in kernel
2.5.54, see
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=fe04e9451e5a159247cf9f03c615a4273ac0c571 )
vmstat -d or vmstat -p would crash mysteriously under different
circumstances. The problem was eventually tracked down to /sys not
being mounted which meant is_disk() always returned false.
The partition would then be attempted to be linked to a non-existent
disk causing a segfault.
vmstat will now not link to a disk if none exists.
The change in testing will skip those tests when /sys/block doesn't
exist.
Many thanks to Daniel Schepler for his analysis and suggestions.

Under some circumstances the ksh shell doesn't fork new processes
when executing scripts and the script is interpreted by the
parent process. That makes the execution faster, but it means
ksh needs to reuse the /proc/PID/cmdline for the new script name
and arguments while the file length needs to stay untouched.
The fork is skipped only when the new cmdline is shorter than
the parent's cmdline and the rest of the file is filled
with '\0'. This is perfectly ok until we try to read the cmdline
of such process. As the read_unvectored() function replaces
all zeros with chosen separator, these trailing zeros are replaced
with spaces in case of the ps tool. Consequently it appends
multiple spaces at the end of the arguments string even when these
zeros do not represent any separators and therefore shouldn't
be replaced.
With this commit the read_unvectored() function skips the
replacement of trailing zeros and separates valid content only.

Previously the shared memory column was always zero

Later a new Shmem entry appeared in the /proc/meminfo

presence - the presence is mutually exclusive).
If none of the two entries is exported by the kernel,
then the column is zero.

Function getbtime() currently makes the assumption that btime==0 equals
btime not being present in /proc/stat. This is not quite accurate, as
timestamp 0 is, in fact, also a valid time (Epoch), and /proc/stat may
report it as such.
We introduce a flag to indicate whether btime was found in /proc/stat.
In this way, btime==0 becomes a valid case, provided /proc/stat
actually reports this as the boot time.
procps can still detect the case of btime actually not being reported
by the kernel.

One recent patch to dynamic buffer management involved
over-allocating the buffer increase to lessen calls to
xrealloc. That was successful, but the actual increase
amount did not attempt to optimize size or alignments.
With this commit, we'll copy an approach recently used
by the top program and round up buffer sizes to 1 KiB.
More importantly, while buffers are quickly reaching a
KiB optimum multiple, no memcpy will ever be employed!
To illustrate just how effective top's algorithm would
be, just change the initial and subsequent allocations
from the current 1024 bytes to just a single byte then
add an fprintf. Those one byte reallocations while on
the way to optimum buffer size will be a one-time cost
and won't represent any recurring performance penalty.

of the status, stat and statm subdirectories one extra
call to read() was required for end-of-file detection.
This patch avoids most all such extra calls to read().
Additionally, the frequency of memory reallocations is
reduced by overallocating each increase more than 25%.

Internal changes to libproc means the revision number
is incremented. This does not mean an ABI or API change has
occured, we just do the stuff under the covers better or in this
case reduce the compile warnings mainly.
See Jim, I do read the commit messages :)

A recent Debian bug report, dealing with release 3.2.8
and its even more restrictive buffer sizes (1024) used
in stat, statm and status reads via file2str calls, is
a reminder of what could yet happen to procps-ng. Size
needs are determined by kernel evolution and/or config
options so that bug could resurface even though buffer
size is currently 4 times the old procps-3.2.8 limits.
Those sizes were raised from 1024 to 4096 bytes in the
patch submitted by Eric Dumazet, and referenced below.
This patch makes libprocps immune to future changes in
the amount of stuff that is ultimately found in a proc
'stat', 'statm' or 'status' subdirectory. We now trade
the former static buffer of 4096 bytes for dynamically
allocated buffers whose size can be increased by need.
Even though this change is solely an internal one, and
in no way directly affects the API or the ABI, libtool
suggests that the LIBprocps_REVISION be raised. I hope
Craig remembers to do that just before a next release.
We don't want a repeat of the procps-ng-3.3.4 boo-boo,
but with no API/ABI impact that probably can't happen.
p.s. A big thanks to Jaromir Capik <jcapik@redhat.com>
who reviewed my original version and, of course, found
some of my trademark illogic + unnecessary code. After
his coaxing, he helped make this a much better commit.

The entire tree's polluted with inappropriate trailing

those useless keystrokes. Unfortunately, it sure ain't
a permanent solution and requires every contributor to
instruct their editor(s) to prevent or eliminate them.
Plus it's strongly recommended we all insert something

to provide at least some warnings when we try to apply
any patches (git am) that do contain the #@!%& things!

freeproc was missing from the libproc API which meant while you could
allocate proc structures, you couldn't free them!

Fixes error which did not happen always. Changes of being affected by
the bug where greater the more there where pids defined as pmap argument.
The debian bug referral can almost certainly reproduce the problem,
especially when tried multiple times in row.

Current linux kernels output no more than 32 groups
in /proc/{pid}/status.
Plan is to increase this limit.
This patch allows ps to not core dump if the buffer used to read status
file was too small.
# ps aux
Signal 11 (SEGV) caught by ps (procps-ng version 3.3.3).
ps:display.c:59: please report this bug
Also increases the size of the buffer from 1024 to 4096, since even with
32 groups we are close to the limit.

When the maj_delta and min_delta fields were added to
the proc_t, they necessitated some compiler generated
padding bytes.
With this slight reordering, those padding bytes are
no longer generated. And since the original commit
already broke the library ABI, now is an opportune
time to correct that misalignment.

The control group hierarchies for any particular task
could conceivably grow quite large. However, the
library might impose an arbitrary limit of 1024 bytes
via fill_cgroup_cvt.
Two utility buffers of 128 KiB each were already
available for command line use. This commit simply
trades the smaller 1024 byte stack based buffers for
those much larger existing ones. Thus, truncation
can be avoided with no additional run-time costs.

Some inconsistencies have emerged during development
of support for these relatively new proc_t fields.
For example, a PROC_FILLCGROUP flag (via file2strvec)
could return NULL in cgroup whereas PROC_EDITCGRPCVT
(via fill_cgroup_cvt) *almost* guaranteed a return
address (as is true for PROC_EDITCMDLCVT and cmdline).
But even PROC_EDITCGRPCVT could return NULL if the
kernel version was less than 2.6.24. Then with NULL
ps would display a "-" while top would show "n/a".
And while unlikely, with the PROC_FILLSTATUS flag (via
status2proc) a NULL supgid address was theoretically
possible and both ps and top would then show "n/a".
This commit standardizes the following usage:
. PROC_FILLSTATUS (via status2proc)
guarantees a valid supgid address
representing either a true comma
delimited list or "-"
. PROC_FILLCGROUP plus
PROC_EDITCGRPCVT (via fill_cgroup_cvt)
guarantees a cgroup single vector
representing either a true control
group hierarchy or "-"
And as was true before, the following remains true:
PROC_FILLCOM or
PROC_FILLARG (via file2strvec)
may return a NULL cmdline pointer
. PROC_FILLCGROUP (via file2strvec)
may return a NULL cgroup pointer
. PROC_FILLCOM or
PROC_FILLARG plus
PROC_EDITCMDLCVT (via fill_cmdline_cvt)
guarantees a cmdline single vector
representing either a true command
line or a bracketed program name
. PROC_FILLSTATUS plus
PROC_FILLSUPGRP (via supgrps_from_supgids)
guarantees a valid supgrp address
representing either a true comma
delimited list or "-"

Fix the build where it seems a code fix for Linux was likely untested
on other systems.
Define SCHED_BATCH in test-schedbatch, for systems that don't have it;
the corresponding RH BZ#741090 patch used the magic value 3 in output.c
anyway.
