56d79b9d13 top: provide more accurate cpu usage stats for startup
The top program already incorporated a modest delay at
startup so that some minimal process cpu history could
be established. However, Summary Area system level cpu
statistic history reflected usage since boot. As such,
unchanging % values would be shown with every restart.

This commit just adopts the same approach used in task
%CPU history for the Summary Area statistics. In other
words, it introduces a 'priming read' at startup as is
found in the newlib implementation for the <stat> API.

909b37d755 top: make command line switch parsing even more robust
This program has always tried to maintain an extermely
robust command line parsing procedure, far more robust
that what's available with the getopt stuff. But, with
the introduction of our first numeric switch it should
have been made even more robust than, in fact, it was.

This commit will now accomplish such a desirable goal.

fc5f5a93ba top: by default, show cmd line vs. cmd name at startup
All of top's display was designed to fit into an 80x24
terminal. This includes the help screens plus both the
Summary and Task Areas, assuming no saved config file.

With release 3.3.10, the startup defaults were changed
assuming ./configure --disable-modern-top wasn't used.
This was done in the hope of introducing some users to
unknown capabilities such as colors, forest view, etc.

The purpose of this commit is to coax a few more users
into possibly exploring another capability: scrolling.
We do so by tweaking the default startup display so as
to show full command lines. Now, when things no longer
fit in 80x24, horizontal scrolling might be exploited.

[ of course, this can be reversed with the -c switch ]

89db82d143 top: provide -1 command line switch as 'Cpu(s)' toggle
If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
program displays each cpu individually providing there
is sufficient vertical screen real estate. For massive
SMP environments this will necessitate use of a config
file where the cpu summary toggle ('1') could be saved
via the 'W' command. But, an rcfile may not be viable.

So this commit introduces a '1' command line switch to
emulate exactly the effects of the interactive toggle.

And since it is our first numeric switch some existing
parsing logic had to be changed slightly. Such changes
are, in truth, an improvement. For example, instead of
seeing "inappropriate '2'" with ./top -2 we'll now see
the vastly more appropriate error "unknown option '2'.

fb48b5d9fb top: provide -E command line switch for memory scaling
In their 3.2.7 version of top, Redhat introduced an -M
switch to automatically scale Summary Area memory data
to avoid truncation (and the resulting '+' indicator).

The procps-ng top does not employ suffixes with memory
data nor does it allow for different scaling with each
separate value. Rather, scaling appears at line start.

If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
Summary Area memory will be scaled at GiB which should
lessen chance of truncation. Otherwise KiB was used to
reflect such memory, increasing the truncation chance.

And while 'W' can be used to preserve some appropriate
scaling value, there are arguments against such rcfile
approaches as cited in the issue and bug report below.

So this commit will bump the Summary Area memory scale
factor from KiB to MiB when using --disable-modern-top
as a concession to that Redhat bug report noted below.

And it also introduces a new command line switch which
can force any desired scaling regardless of the rcfile
or which ./configure option might have been specified.

[ for top's help text we'll show 'E' as if it were a ]
[ switch without arguments in order to keep the help ]
[ text displayable without wrap in an 80x24 terminal ]

[ the man page, however, will show all k-e arguments ]

fe6e03d8a9 top: show fewer decimal places for memory (by default)
After much reflection I've come to the conclusion that
displaying 3 decimal places (usually) when memory data
had been scaled is no longer optimal with today's ever
increasing amounts. And given that not all task memory
fields are the same widths, inconsistencies can easily
arise as illustrated and discussed in the issue below.

Instead of unilaterally reducing the number of decimal
places, this commit will sneak in such a change via an
existing configure option that was very likely unused.

The former 'disable-wide-memory' option has now become
'enable-wide-memory', which can be used if the current
behavior (3 decimal places) is preferred. Without that
option, whenever memory is scaled beyond KiB, just one
decimal place will be shown in Summary and Task areas.

And Task area field width will no longer be changed by
this revised configure option. Instead, all such field
widths will now be fixed at the former maximum values.

536cea324b kill: -l space between name parses correctly
kill -lHUP would work correctly, but kill -l HUP would not.

The list option in kill was hit by a quirk of getopt_long where an
option with an optional argument would not attempt to get the argument
beyond the space, even though a mandatory argument would do that.

The fix is a kludge to scan to the next argument and if it looks
like something we can use, use it. Lucky for us, the list option is
one where parsing can stop immediately.

Thanks to Brian Vandenberg for the way forward.

625d0809da pkill: Return 0 if successfully killed process
Original report:
When trying kill a process with insufficient privileges (see blow),
pkill displays the error message “... failed: Operation not permitted”,
but returns 0. Surely it should return 3?

$ pkill syslogd ; echo $?
pkill: killing pid 373 failed: Operation not permitted
0

Return value 0 means one of more things matched. For a pgrep (which
shares code with pkill) this makes sense, there was a match. It seems
wrong for pkill to return 0 when it in fact could not do what you told
it to.  However return value 3 means a fatal error and it's not fatal.

Looking at other programs when trying to kill things it cannot kill.
shell kill returns 1, procps kill returns 1, killall returns 1, skill
returns 0 (and says it was successful!, ah well poor old skill)

The consensus seems to be that you return 1 if you cannot kill it, even
if you found it. In other words the return value for both not found and
not able to kill it is the same.

pkill only returns 0 if something was killed. This means we found a
match AND the kill() system call worked too.

18b1a887b7 top: finally circumvent that minor libnuma memory leak
Still unhappy with a minor memory leak associated with
libnuma, I experimented with omitting the dlclose that
was issued at module's end. For some reason which will
remain a mystery, the valgrind leak then went bye-bye.

So this patch just omits one use of dlclose and relies
on whatever kernel magic is at work to free the memory
when each process ends. We kept, however, the original
code (now commented-out) to serve as a future caution.

There remains one potential (but unlikely) dlclose use
near the original dlopen. But there will be no leak as
that 'numa_node_of_cpu' will not yet have been called.
This seems to be the culprit that triggers such leaks.

None of this libnuma shit would likely have come close
to hitting our fan had the numa developers provided us
with 'new' and 'unref' functions like our newlib does.

b899c55dca pmap: fix printing bug associated with the '-x' option
Ever since its introduction, the 'x' (extended format)
option has employed strncmp to parse those smaps keys.

Such an approach worked well as long as those prefixes
were guaranteed to be unique. But, with the 4.3 kernel
a new 'SwapPss' field was added to those within smaps.

That triggered a 2nd match for the 'Swap' logic which,
in turn, resulted in a duplicate output line of zeros.

So this patch just trades strncmp for strcmp, avoiding
potential future problems when /proc/$$/smaps evolves.

7df87ea7cf top: when setting library flags favor stat over status
Long ago, in a galaxy far away, top was convinced that
/proc/stat was to be favored over /proc/status if some
field could be satisfied with either. This was done to
avoid extra costs of 64-bit math for 32-bit platforms.

Well, its time to acknowledge the prevalence of 64-bit
platforms. And in such an environment there is a large
hidden cost currently if using status instead of stat.
In fact, that cost difference can be as high as 1400%.

So, this commit will coax top into favoring that least
costly route while also fixing an EU_TGD library flag.

67a634dc4c library: revert one ancient 'escape_str_utf8' deletion
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.
