a8a4a4f595 vmstat: support for time stolen from virtual machines
Surprisingly the code for the 'st' column was added in the past,
but wasn't enabled. The vmstat manual already contains the 'st'
column and this commit finally enables the feature.

af4e6533ba top: increase the maximum number of displayable fields
The recent addition of namespaces, combined with those
potential suse out-of-memory fields, means that we are
close to the maximum number of fields poor ol' top can
display. Imagine, the really old top was limited to 26
fields (28 with the suse hack) and this top had neared
the version 'g' rcfile limits which were a healthy 55.

This patch adds another 15 fields to the maximum while
making it even easier to increase in the future. Also,
top still silently accommodates older config files all
the way back to the original pre-ng version top-3.2.8!

583cdaca1a library: normalize recently added namespaces interface
While 'invisible' thread subdirectories are accessible
under /proc/ with stat/opendir calls, they have always
been treated as non-existent, as is true with readdir.

This patch trades the /proc/#/ns access convention for
the more proper /proc/#/task/#/ns approach when thread
access is desired. In addition some namespace code has
been simplified and made slightly more efficient given
the calloc nature of proc_t acquisition and its reuse.

89c2f28e39 top: eliminate yet more gcc subscript resolution bloat
This patch is inspired by the 'minimize numa overhead'
patch. It trades the use of subscripts for pointers to
avoid gcc repeated subscript offset calculation bloat.

Now, throughout the cpus_refresh function, a subscript
will be resolved just once & this will (dramatically?)
reduce the path-length taken for each and every frame!

For example, a non-optimized compilation could produce
400+ fewer machine instructions through pointer usage.

[ ok, optimized compiles only save 18+ instructions! ]

Lastly, any residual 'symmetry only' crap is now gone!

f12c0d5c6e top: minimize the statistics overhead for numa support
A recent libnuma potential corruption problem solution
has caused me to reevaluate some associated numa logic
for efficiency. Here is a summary of the problems that
exist with current libnuma/user possible interactions:

. Whenever the numa library was present extra overhead
would always be incurred in maintaining the node stats
even when the '2' or '3' commands were not being used.

. As part of such overhead a separate loop was used to
reinitialize each cpu/node structure with each display
cycle so that prior accumulated totals were preserved.
Again, it didn't matter if numa data was really shown.

This commit attempts to refocus on the 'critical path'
costs in a running top by optimizing for the occasions
when numa node data is not being displayed. Under such
conditions, no extra overhead will be incurred whether
or not a distribution has the libnuma library present.

To achieve this goal, some additional overhead will be
incurred, but only when actually displaying numa data.
And all such new costs have been minimized in spite of
the gcc inclination to duplicate subscript resolution.

bdb2fe0056 top: add some flexibility to dlopen() for numa support
A recent libnuma potential corruption problem solution
suggests that libnuma could change in the future so as
to not spew to stderr. This then raises a question how
top could exploit any such library change since we are
currently locked into version #1 of the library by way
of our dlopen("libnuma.so.1", RTLD_LAZY) runtime call.

While not an ultimate solution, this commit will first
try for the most recent version of that library during
top's startup before trying the original libnuma.so.1.
We do this via the unqualified library soname symlink.

For this new dlopen() call to succeed, technically the
numa 'devel' package would usually have been required,
but that's not always true with every distro. And when
the libnuma.so symlink isn't present, it can always be
manually added should a newer & better behaved library
arrive & users tire of the stderr warning at top exit.

9c776bbcde top: expand on column highlight quirks in man document
Confession is supposed to be good for the sole, right?

After a senior moment regarding the 'x' toggle quirks,
and thinking top had somehow regressed, I concluded an
additional explanatory note might well be appropriate.

Those quirks were already documented under the 5d & 5e
topics. But there was no such caution documented under
the 'x' command explanation itself, found in topic 4c.

35dc6dcc49 top: address some potential libnuma display corruption
There is a chance that the libnuma library may corrupt
top's display with some stderr warning messages in the
event something under /sys/devices/system/node/ cannot
be accessed. And, while 2 overridable 'weak' functions
are provided to alter such behavior, we can't use them
since top dynamically links to the library via dlopen.

This commit will redirect stderr to '/dev/null' during
just the first screen display cycle. Thus we can avoid
the corruption which would have remained visible until
the underlining screen row's data had finally changed.

Lastly, this patch should allow such a library warning
to actually appear when one finally exits our program.

[ i think the libnuma folks should consider changing ]
[ the error/warning interfaces to accommodate dlopen ]
[ rather than forcing something like the ugly kludge ]
[ we have employed or libnuma dependency on everyone ]

e6a78f2745 top: swat bug impacting 'idle' mode & 'user' filtering
When Other filtering was introduced the nature of what
constituted a displayed row changed. No longer would a
task_show() call guarantee that another line is shown.
Rather, a non-empty string must have also been tested.

Unfortunately, when any task window was being filtered
for 'idle' mode or a particular 'user', the proc index
was incremented twice due to the perils of copy/paste.
Combining such an index increment with the new test of
task_show results works fine if filtering is inactive.

This was a particularly insidious bug which meant that
an adjacent task would be skipped whenever the current
task met 'idle' and/or 'user' filter criteria, and was
not otherwise excluded due to 'Other' filter criteria.

And, since it was the very next task that was ignored,
the bug was very susceptible to a window's sort order.
This could be illustrated when filtering on some user,
while sorting on PID. Then, toggling Forest View could
make otherwise unseen tasks appear and then disappear.

User workarounds are possible via interactive commands
trading the 'i' and 'u'/'U' provisions for the 'o'/'O'
other filtering capability thus avoiding an extra i++.
But that is certainly less than ideal and doesn't help
the 3.3.7 and 3.3.8 distorted command line provisions.

( this little buggie may end up costing me my pocket )
( protector, my coding badge & maybe even my cubicle )

  - If /etc/sysctl.conf doesn't exist we just don't load it

06c19f5ba4 top: swat bug affecting batch mode and width provision
Normally, the internally tracked 'Screen_cols' can not
exceed the lessor of 512 or actual screen width. There
was one case, however, where that 512 byte upper limit
was no longer properly imposed as it should have been.

When operating in 'Batch' mode the actual screen width
was allowed to be exceeded when the optional -w switch
was also used. But, it should never have exceeded 512.

This patch ensures the upper limit is always observed.

764e27a4dd Increase watch interval.
watch would only use an interval of up to 4294 seconds and silently
change to this limit. The 4294 seconds is 2^32/10^6 or how many
microseconds fit into unsigned int.

This change increases the limit to 2^32 seconds which is
approximately 136 years. This should be ok for now. Anything above
the old limit now uses sleep() instead of usleep() which only uses
integers (so 9999.123 seconds will be 9999 seconds)

46a1356219 top: correct cursor positioning for all ^Z or ^C cases
Some more (very obscure) conditions where a suspension
or program end might embed the shell prompt within top
output have been uncovered beyond the 2 already known.

We had already covered some suspend/end contingencies:
1. the users were using the 'fields management' screen
2. the users were prompted for any line oriented input

However, there remained some situations where ^Z or ^C
could still produce a misplaced cursor + shell prompt:
3. the 'g' command while waiting for the window choice
4. the 'W' command if about to overwrite an old rcfile
5. the '=' command when exploiting the Inspect feature
6. the period during which any error message was shown

But, even when all those bases are covered there still
remains a remote possibility that such interrupts will
occur during a top repaint cycle. So rather than throw
yet more code at these self-inflicted problems perhaps
it is better if we just throw in the proverbial towel.

Thus, I'll take the only sane approach and restore the
results expected ever since top's inception and before
scrollback buffers entered the picture. Namely, with a
^Z or ^C the cursor will be placed on the final screen
row. That usually means it will immediately follow the
last output line but it may follow many blank lines if
the user interrupts top when *not* on the main screen.
