f888a30d23 library: find tty device name of process quicker
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.

80ad63dc31 library: refactor exposed pointers management, 3rd gen
This commit brings all of those 'fetch' type functions
(supporting some form of 'reap') into closer alignment
with one another. The biggest impact is to be found in
the <stat> module, which now provides for the separate
copy of stack pointers which will be exposed to users.

The reason such a copy was not employed initially with
<stat>, unlike those for <pids> and <slabinfo>, is due
to the fact that such stacks were never sortable. Thus
the original raw consolidated extent pointers wouldn't
have been disturbed. But that meant no NULL delimiter.

So with this commit, all reap/fetch operations now use
pointer copies when returning results to callers. And,
all such arrays are now NULL delimited meaning callers
can choose their own access fencepost: totals or NULL.

4fe52ccd44 library: reduce copies of items to minimum, <STAT> api
This commit will consolidate the three separate copies
of the item enumerators currently supporting that reap
function (summary, cpus & nodes) into one shared copy.

That select function will continue to maintain its own
dedicated items copy, albeit via a new item structure.

[ and while we're at it, we'll move the 'select' guy ]
[ to its proper alphabetical place, after our 'reap' ]

8cd1214aac library: stop treating lxcname differently, <PIDS> api
Unlike other cached string fields (such as USER name),
that lxcname field was defined as 'const char *'. This
required a custom 'set' function using a cast in order
to avoid a compiler warning regarding that assignment.

So this commit brings lxcname into line with all those
other cached string fields. And while we're at it, the
reason some string fields have no 'freefunc' will also
be explained with some new comments in the Item_table.

eff9fbc06e library: standardize extents_free_all() logic, 3rd gen
As those 3rd generation newlib APIs evolved so too did
the extents_free_all() function. Most versions of this
function required the callers to first verify that the
extents anchor wasn't empty, which was poor etiquette.

This simple function should have been much more robust
and forgiving. With this commit, it fnally becomes so.

380253ff7f library: more pids_fetch struct opaqueness, <PIDS> api
With all our 3rd generation interfaces, we're now well
positioned to preserve binary compatibility should new
fields be added to any public structure (assuming that
the 'result' union already contains its largest type).

This remains true even for the <pids> interface, which
unlike the others, has one structure embedded within a
separate struct rather than declaring a pointer to it.

The counts struct was positioned after the stacks ptrs
array so as to preserve that ABI if ever new ints were
added. Logically, however, the counts (especially that
total) should precede the stacks array if we wished to
properly place a horse (total) before a cart (stacks).

So to enable relocating those counts we will no longer
embed that structure, but provide a pointer to it. And
this will make accessing syntax feel more natural too.

e41b40e6b0 library: <SLABINFO> api, change that 'get' return type
The following commit message is shared with 4 patches.
------------------------------------------------------

Under the newlib interface most of our 'get' functions
represent a bit of a compromise in that the actual raw

That approach creates the possibility of truncation at
best, and wouldn't serve future needs should something
other than numeric data be added to the 'get' results.

This commit trades the current compromise for a return
value guaranteed to satisfy all future needs, namely a
pointer to a particular api's specific results struct.

The impact on existing programs is minimal, especially
when using a new supplied macro. Otherwise, native 'C'
syntax could be used, but may feel somewhat unnatural.

NUMA_DISABLE (as ./configure --disable-numa), with the
exception of 1 case label. The reason it didn't create

But if that option wasn't used, an oops still awaited.

When experimenting with a 32-bit library plus a 64-bit

61647f1b95 top: swat nasty obscure bug associated with numa nodes
When experimenting with two macro constants for stat.c
(#define STACKS_INCR & #define NEWOLD_INCR), a bug was
revealed in top, only surfacing if both were set to 1.

At those settings an absolute minimum number of stacks
would be allocated for CPUs & numa NODEs. This in turn
led top to overrun the lessor number of nodes since he
used the cpu index when accessing those numa stack(s).

What he should have been accessing was the cpu stacks.

e80b48ce58 slabtop: correct the sort behavior for that NAME field
When our <SLABINFO> was recently re-designed, the sort
callback functions became table driven, whereas before
a single callback used switch/case constructs based on
an 'item'. Thus, sorting was made a tad more efficient
but, it introduced a buglet into that slabtop program.

The root cause of this bug was the fact that the field
NAME required a low-to-high sort and all other slabtop
fields used high-to-low. Fortunately, along with those
<SLABINFO> table driven sort changes, that i/f offered
users the option of either low-to-high or high-to-low.

So this patch just exploits that choice. And, it means
that such responsibilities are now properly located in
calling code, not in what's a general purpose library.

b09014a7b6 top: share the rcfile between master & newlib branches
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.

335cbc2e61 library: make struct name more descriptive, <STAT> api
After normalizing the <SLABINFO> module, much of which
was based on this module, a structure which is crucial
to concurrent select/reap support is renamed the same.

Such a need for concurrent support was revealed during
slabtop testing. That program requests (select) global
data after calling for individual node data (reap) but
before those stacks have been accessed. Therefore, one
set of 'items'/'extents' could not possibly be shared.

So now we will know the former struct fetch_support as
ext_support. The former name was potentially confusing
since the struct was used by both 'select' and 'reap'.
However, only 'reap' ever called the 'fetch' function.

[ this <STAT> already accommodated concurrent usage. ]

5d5a52a380 library: normalize/standardize the i/f, <SLABINFO> api
Before this major redesign, the slabs interface likely
was our messiest 2nd generation attempt at opaqueness.
Beyond the standard 'new', 'ref' & 'unref', there were
a total of 12 exported functions. Now, there are four.

The 1st step was to remove several of those functions.
These were quick to go since they were not used (yet):
. procps_slabnode_count
. procps_slabnode_getname
. procps_slabnode_getstack

Then, the following were internalized so users needn't
be burdened with implementation details in the future:
. procps_slabinfo_read (renamed: read_slabinfo_failed)
. procps_slabnode_stacks_alloc (renamed: stacks_alloc)

Still others evolved into the minimal interface we had
strived for in the other upgraded 3rd generation APIs:
. procps_slabnode_get -----------> procps_slabinfo_get
. separate stack_alloc/fill --> procps_slabinfo_select
. separate stacks_alloc/fill ---> procps_slabinfo_reap
. procps_slabnode_stacks_sort --> procps_slabinfo_sort

------------------------------------------------------
Beyond those reductions, the major modifications were:

. This API tries to be as forgiving as possible and as
such won't throw errors when a caller request makes no
sense. For example, if a 'get' or 'select' requested a
SLABNODE item (with no current means to id that node),
results will be zero. By the same token, should 'reap'
include a global SLABS item (meaning those values will
be duplicated in *every* node stack) it'll be allowed.

. If the above behavior is undesired, a new #define of
ENFORCE_LOGICAL can be used to restrict certain items.

. Permission problems will now be caught at 'new' time
thanks to a priming 'read' call. That read also serves
to make DELTA values potentially useful at 1st access.

. Separate slab/slabnode enumerators were consolidated
into one, simplifying validation & the results struct.

. Several internal parameter checks were relaxed since
they were already checked by the caller. Besides if we
cannot trust our own code we might as well hang it up.

. That sort provision was made more efficient and will
offer the ascending choice, in addition to descending.

------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, some additional thoughts regarding the future:

. It would not be difficult to expand 'select' to also
accept a nodeid, or to clone it as 'select_node'. And,
should the same be extended to 'get', a results struct
could be returned instead of signed long accommodating
the extra data type(s) like a node name (string data).

. The 'get' function is not currently affected by that
 define ENFORCE_LOGICAL. However, at some future point
perhaps -EINVAL would be more appropriate than a zero.

5be4167782 library: rename the 'slab' sources as 'slabinfo' files
Where possible, libprocps files convey the name of the
actual source pseudo file under the '/proc' directory.

This patch brings slab into line with such a standard.

acb83a2b74 vmstat: adapted to the interface changes, <VMSTAT> api
This commit just eliminates all the procps_vmstat_read
calls since the interface now handles that requirement
as needed when the 'get' and 'select' guys are called.

d69a2b6899 library: normalize/standardize interface, <VMSTAT> api
This interface represented a 2nd generation attempt at
the opaque newlib approach. In other words, it did not
involve the 1st generation 'chains'. Instead, 'stacks'
were employed. But the interface wasn't user friendly.

Users were required to create their own stacks, before
calling 'getstack' to retrieve multiple results with a
single call. Even worse, sometimes 'read' was required
before calling 'get' when working with single results.

So this commit represents the 3rd generation approach.
We eliminate the burden of 'read' and creating stacks.
Rather, beyond those standard 'new', 'ref' and 'unref'
functions, we'll offer just 'get' (single result) plus
a 'select' function (for multiple results in 1 stack).

And along the way, this commit vastly expands the data
extracted from /proc/vmstat. All values that currently
exist (and their delta equivalents) are now available.
Deltas were included for everything because there's no
real runtime costs beyond using a little extra memory.

The only problem is a lack of documentation for all of
those fields, as is reflected in the references below.
Oh well, maybe someday someone will dig through kernel
sources & finally plug that rather large document gap.

[ as an aside, rather than using a 'strcmp' approach ]
[ when parsing the /proc/vmstat file, as is found in ]
[ the <meminfo> module, we exploit those hash search ]
[ provisions that are found in the <search.h> header ]

0196a4e350 top: just miscellaneous tweaks to code and/or comments
This patch represents the following minor adjustments:

. the official PROCPS_MEMINFO_VAL macro has become the
basis for our own abbreviated MEM_VAL derivative macro
just like was done for all the other newlib interfaces

. it felt like time to change those forest_?? function
names while maintaining their special relationships to
one another (alphabetic, with each 1 longer than prev)

. and some whitespace was altered and some lines added

2aaae6f29b library: improve internal 'get' processing, <STAT> api
With an eye to the future, rather than managing a long
switch/case construct in the procps_stat_get function,
we'll adopt the approach used in the <meminfo> module.

By making 'get' processing table driven too, just like
'select' is already, that may ease future maintenance.

Along the way a rather large boo-boo was fixed dealing
with that /proc/stat 'procs_running' field which crept
in with the commit referenced below. It wasn't spelled
correctly and thus was never captured as PROC_RUNNING.
