2a7ec67ac8 library: add support for the 'LIBPROC_HIDE_KERNEL' var
This patch was prompted by Björn Fischer's merge #147
request referenced below. It has been generalized such
that it now embraces both of those 'pids_fetch' types.

[ and thanks to Björn for initiating this extension ]

cbff1dd106 top: bust up that overly large 'summary_show' function
Over the years the summary_show function has increased
from around 77 lines of code & comments to its current
size of 243 lines. This is well beyond an ideal length
of available screen rows. So this patch will split it.

We'll take the cpu and memory duties and make separate
functions out of them. Of course, this will incur some
additional call overhead but, given current cpu/memory
logic, any such increase really becomes insignificant.

Now summary_show's a svelte 57 lines of code/comments.

[ this is like what was done to that do_key function ]
[ a decade ago except overhead of new function calls ]
[ plus table lookup was even less of a concern since ]
[ a human was involved, not normal iterative output. ]

0e744d3656 top: provide for avoiding task focus ('F') distortions
In the patch referenced below the focus task logic was
improved to ensure that newly cloned tasks 'above' the
focused task did not force an effect like the up arrow
key. That commit also acknowledged that when some task
'above' ended, it *would* act like the down arrow key.

Well, with this commit a task ending 'above' a focused
task no longer distorts the focus. That's assuming the
new '#define FOCUS_HARD_Y' is specified plus the total
focused tasks does not exceed the current screen rows.

Thus, the manual scrolling with up and down arrow keys
is allowed when the total focused exceeds screen rows.

[ but keep in mind that when a focused task has been ]
[ hardened some otherwise useful toggles will not be ]
[ available. keystrokes like 'v' and even 'F' itself ]
[ can not be applied to another task with no scroll. ]

16145af663 top: adapt for running with proc mounted as subset=pid
As the issue cited below illustrates, a pids namespace
with proc mounted as subset=pid denies our library any
access to non-task data. In top's case, the result was
a fatal error message which involved "cpu statistics".

With this patch top will now assume an error involving
global cpu (stat) or memory (meminfo) data means we're
running under a restricted pids namespace. As such, an
attempt will be made to still display task level data.

[ if our assumption is incorrect, it's of no matter. ]
[ instead of a fatal error, we'll still try to offer ]
[ a user some minimally useful bit of functionality. ]

bcb837b8c7 First cut at subset=pid proc mount handling
The procfs mount option subset=pid only shows the processes, not things
such as /proc/stat etc.

For certain programs, this should mean they still work, but have reduced
functionality. This is the first cut at some of them.

pgrep - Removed always loading uptime which we never used anyway. The
program now works fine unless we use --older. Add note in man page
stating it will silently fail.

ps - Load boot time and memory total only when required instead of
always. Changed the error messages to something the user actually
cares about "can't get system boot time" vs "create a structure".
Works for most fields except starts and percent memory.

uptime - Give more useful error messages if uptime not available.

vmstat - move header generation after testing for required proc
files, makes the default output more consistent with the rest
of the options.

dae897b54d vmstat: Use KiB instead of pages for paged in/out
While the kernel calls the fields pgpgin and pgpgout, the units
here are not pages, but KiB (or 2x 512 sectors).

The comments come from the referenced merged request, this commit fixes
the "vmstat -s lies" part:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15-rc7/source/block/blk-core.c#L1057
has submit_bio() which includes the count_vm_events(PGPGIN, count) but what
is count? it is usually what bio_sectors() returns.

bio_sectors() is a macro in
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15-rc7/source/include/linux/bio.h#L49
that defines that as bio->bi_iter.bi_size >> 9. 2^9 is 512 or the sector
size. So our count is incremented by the number of 512-byte sectors.

As @dublio has already pointed out before this result is printed to vmstat,
it is /= 2 to give the number of kibibytes (as the sectors were 512 bytes,
we now made the block size 2*512 or 1024). The code even has
"sectors -> kbytes".

So unless there is something very strange going on, pgpgin and pgpgout in
/proc/vmstat return kibibytes.

What about pages (which is sort of implied in the name) or blocks (as
described on the man page)?

Pages can vary, but they are generally 4 KiB so they're out. That also means
vmstat -s lies :(

Blocks are harder to discount. While these too can vary, they can be 1 KiB;
they could also be something else (e.g dd its 512, filesystems 4096).
However, for memory management inside the kernel, there are sectors and
there are (near userland export) KiB, nothing else. It's probably more
accurate to say sectors are shifted in and out of block devices and the
kernel expresses these transfers to userland as KiB by halving the numbers.

What all this means is that using KiB for bi/bo aka pgpgin/pgpgout is more
accurate than saying blocks or pages.

eafd8e3112 library: refine support for multiple concurrent access
Our new library's now well protected against potential
problems which arise when a multi-threaded application
opens more than one context within the same API at the
same time. However, with a single-threaded application
designed along those same lines, some problems remain.

So, to avoid potential corruption of some data (which
was classified as local 'static __thread') from those
single-threaded designs, we'll move several variables
to the info structure itself and remove the '__thread'
qualifier. Now they're protected against both designs.

[ we'll not be protected against some multi-threaded ]
[ application that shares a single context yet calls ]
[ that interface from separate threads. this is just ]
[ bad application design & no different than sharing ]

ad51fef1aa top: tweak some end-of-job logic when separate threads
The separate threads for background updates were added
to top in the commit shown below. At that time cleanup
logic was added to end-of-job processing to cancel any
active threads and destroy any semaphores then in use.

That seemed like simple good stewardship with an added
benefit of avoiding potential valgrind 'possibly lost'
warnings for 320 byte blocks. Those blocks represented
an initial stack allocation for each of three threads.

All of that worked perfectly if such code was executed
under the main thread. In other words, if the keyboard
or a signal directed to any thread was used to trigger
program end. However, it might not always be the case.

Each of those 'refresh' routines supporting a separate
thread interacts with a newlib interface. As a result,
each is required to check the library's return result.
Should some error be detected, 'error_exit' is called.
Now we've got big problems with that eoj cleanup code.

One can't 'pthread_cancel' and 'pthread_join' a thread
from withing that same thread. Thus, when an error was
returned by the library with threads active, top would
hang with no possibility of removal short of a reboot.

So, this commit only executes that cancel/join cleanup
code when we are running under the main thread. Should
program end be triggered by a library error under some
sibling thread, all such cleanup will now be bypassed.
In the latter case, we will rely on documentation that
says any thread calling exit(3) will end every thread.

[ now, the only time we'll see any valgrind warnings ]
[ is with a library error, which is the least likely ]
[ scenario for running valgrind & top to begin with. ]

[ besides, if the valgrind warnings became a problem ]
[ one could easily add a 'warning-suppression' file. ]

4cfb0fb763 pgrep: Match on cgroup v2 paths
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.

e500ba6d97 fix uid/gid > 2^31
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.

Even though we we had to abandon the master branch top

thread-unsafe functions our library called internally.

So, this patch switches them for thread-safe versions.
