Procps library previously held functions that were about either
listing or finding signal names. These are not really the right
location for a library about reading procfs.
This patch handles signal related functions in two ways:
For functions purely found in skill, these have been moved back
into this binary as they are used nowhere else.
For functions used across the binaries, these have been moved
into include/signals.h and lib/signals.c. Besides formatting,
these functions are largely the same.
To assist the skill functions, two functions to access the
signal map array have been added to lib/signals.c
This commit is mostly about eliminating code, now that
a library is responsible for the cpu tics maintenance.
The top program will continue to provide numa support,
without involving the library in any of those details.
[ not to mention all the 'dl' and 'stderr' numa crap ]
With this transfer of the cpu tics duty to our library
the provision associated with the CPU_ZEROTICS #define
could not initially be migrated. The commit referenced
below suggests it may have lost its importance. In any
case such logic may yet be incorporated in the future.
But for now, that #define has been completely removed.

This commit represents the pioneering attempt at using
the concept of 'chained' library requests in an effort
to reduce function call overhead. It required exposing
no more implementation details than were already shown
through the individual calls, yet is satisfied in one.
It is just such an approach that will prove invaluable
when it comes time to access individual /proc/##/data.
Programs could 'chain' only those 'results' structures
representing their current view independent of all the
fields any such programs might be prepared to display.
Thus the standard 'read', which wouldn't apply to task
level data very well (or efficiently), can now become
a 'read_chain' whereby the former PROC_FILL flags need
can be satisfied & yield the minimum open/close calls.

Removed the printf_uptime, binaries can do printf easily enough.
sprint_uptime split into two as there wasn't a lot of common
code
sprint_uptime(): old style uptime line
sprint_uptime_short(): short new style "uptime -p"
Hertz_hack needed this, no sane system uses the code (I think)

A recent commit eliminated the potential for a storage
violation with forest view mode. It occurred when some
program (erroneously?) created a lengthy forking loop.
However, the associated commit message was misleading.
The message implied that an unexpected order following
a sort on start_time was the cause of storage overruns
and a 'char' used to track nesting level only distorts
the display when it goes negative. Actually, the truth
is really just the opposite. Any start_time sort quirk
causes no harm while that 'char' can yield corruption.
Should some child end up sorted ahead of its parent by
way of an extremely unlikely shared start_time the end
result is such a child will be displayed unnested just
like init or kthreadd along with all its own children.
However, if nesting levels exceeded 255 (and became 0)
a massive array overrun could be triggered when such a
task and *all* its children were added to an array for
the second time. Exactly how much storage was violated
depended on the number of children that zeroed process
had spawned (hinted at via either SIGSEGV or SIGABRT).
The earlier commit limited nested levels to 100 so the
root cause of the storage violation was already fixed.
The potential for distorted nesting levels due to sort
on start_time would seem to remain. But it's extremely
unlikely that 2 tasks would share the same start_time.
Even so, a new #define has been introduced which makes
top impervious to the order of tasks such that a qsort
is no longer necessary (providing an init/systemd task
exists & was harvested as the first task by readproc).
It can be utilized if distorted nesting ever becomes a
real issue. But since there is a 5-10% performance hit
with that, we'll continue using start_time as default.

This commit will eliminate a very nasty bug associated
with top's forest view mode. It addresses a potential
SIGSEGV/SIGABRT that was only encountered when another
program (erroneously?) creates a lengthy forking loop.
If the growing list of nested children is sufficiently
fast such that proc_t start_time is duplicated between
children then the sort upon which top relies might not
produce the expected order. That, in turn, could cause
the forest_adds function to initially miss some child.
But that missed child would be caught by forest_create
and eventually would cause our array boundary overrun.
Such overrun occurs when some child of that originally
*missed* child is found and a duplicate add attempted.
In correcting this bug we'll also use this opportunity
to prohibit a borrowed proc_t padding byte (char) from
going negative. If the nesting level exceeded 127, the
effect was an "unnesting" with the snprintf width then
viewed as flag+width also yielding left justification.
Henceforth, we'll limit nesting to 100 with subsequent
children shown as " + ", not the usual " `- " prefix.

This patch will cure a potential aberration associated
with a terminal's size (SIGWINCH) and top's new graphs
modes. The symptoms were a dangling tilde (~) plus the
potential loss of a graph's right-most visual content.
The condition was only apparent when a %Cpu approached
100% usage. Also the apparent loss of content affected
the 'block' graph only. With 'bar' graphs, that affect
became the loss of proper right-most bar graph colors.
The cause was determined to be a combination of: 1) an
unnecessary snprintf precision specification; and 2) a
rounding quirk for any graphs which displayed distinct
types of information (as for user/syst, used/unavail).
These could then combine to produce an extra bar/block
which, in turn, resulted in the truncation of a pseudo
termcap attribute used by the show_special() function.
What was originally interpreted as an intractable race
condition turns out to be just a self inflicted wound.

For over a decade top has used a startup configuration
mimicking the original redhat top. This decision dates
back to when the forked Sourceforge version was trying
to win over users in battles with that ancient kludge.
Will anybody deny that those defaults are coyote ugly?
Well, it is time that top presented a more modern look
at startup, providing that no saved rcfile exists. But
just in case some distro prefers that old, comfortable
look, there's the '--disable-modern-top' build option.
[ Pssst. With the widened memory fields it turns out ]

When those new cpu/memory graphs modes were introduced
they had global impact. In other words, the modes that
were chosen for a 'current' window affect Summary Area
appearance for every other window as well, even though
each window sets unique View_STATES/View_MEMORY flags.
I do not know how widespread the use of top's separate
window provisions is, but I do know that documentation
promises every window (field group) provides "a unique
separately configurable summary area". And even though
that promise does not include memory scaling (separate
'E' command) the graph modes are integral to 't' & 'm'
and those were already observed on a per window basis.
So this patch just takes the cpu and memory graph mode
values out of global scope in the configuration file &
gives each window its own unique pair of graph values.

Boy I hate locale stuff. For code I thought was pretty
robust, Jaromir sure proved that it wasn't. Anyway, me
thinks this commit closes some gaps and will cause top
to behave appropriately under various locale settings.
It does *not* permit top to respond to the ',' and '.'
floating point separator without regard to the locale.
It does, however, enforce proper LC_NUMERIC responses.
Let's look on this commit as an interim solution until
Jaromir can create that proposed 'fp_decode' function.
Who knows, he might even borrow some of our mkfloat().
[ An aside: the coreutils sleep and timeout programs ]
[ claim to permit floating point arguments. However, ]
[ neither one will accept the comma separator should ]
[ the locale be a country that in fact uses a comma. ]

When the beginning of the Mem/Swap graphs was variable
scaling them to the current terminal's width was a bit
of a costly nightmare. So the graph size was fixed and
subject to truncation. However now that the start of a
graph can be easily predicted, I've revisited scaling.
As it turns out, any cost is minimal & mostly incurred
at an opportune time, at SIGWINCH or user interaction.
Plus, most of the apparent arithmetic is actually just
a means of documenting and will disappear thru compile
time constants in the ultimate generated machine code.
Note: those graphs will now behave just like any other
Summary Area element - they will scale from full sized
down to a terminal width of 80 columns, at which point
those displayed graphs are then subject to truncation.

While the 'b' toggle remains window based (vs. global)
it should no longer require that the window be visible
and either the 'x' or 'y' toggles to be on. Previously
those requirements were intended to remind a user that
there must be something for this command to highlight.
With the introduction of graph modes (specifically the
the bar graph) the 'bold/reverse' toggle has important
implications beyond highlighting some columns or rows.
The %Cpu(s) graph and Mem portion of the memory graphs
are designed to offer a visual clue as to the separate
elements comprising them. But that separation could be
lost under some X color schemes or when top is running
without color (in monochrome mode) and the block graph
is selected. But, if the graph is then changed to bars
any separation always becomes visible whenever the 'b'
toggle is turned off. Portions then show in 'reverse'.
So from now on we'll check nothing, we'll just toggle.
[ Besides, with all the code thrown at restricting a ]
[ 'b' toggle use, it might have all been for naught. ]
[ That toggle could still be set/unset using the 'Z' ]

My original graph modes implementation made no attempt
to align the Cpu & Mem/Swap graphs. I thought, rather,
that such alignment could be best achieved by the user
using top's 'E' memory scaling command toggle. In that
way Mem/Swap prefixes could be reduced by 3 positions,
bringing the beginning '[' into line with the %Cpu(s).
If that proved to be too cumbersome a #define could be
enabled making the Mem/Swap prefix static while adding
a few padding bytes to the %Cpu line(s) for alignment.
It was those waisted bytes that were the most concern.
What I had not counted on was the fact that the memory
lines themselves might become misaligned & that became
likely with more physical memory present. That too can
be cured with the 'E' command but as scaling is raised
we soon reach a meaningless total such as '0.003' even
though the displayed % remains valid (and unchanging).
So this commit implements unconditionally what used to
be conditional. But, instead of waisting padding bytes
we'll put that space to good use with a new 'total %'.
