This commit is based on exploratory work by Sohaib Mohamed.
The end goal is two-fold - to support addition of Meters we
build via configuration files for both the PCP platform and
for scripts ( https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/issues/526 )
Here, we focus on generic code and the PCP support. A new
class DynamicMeter is introduced - it uses the special case
'param' field handling that previously was used only by the
CPUMeter, such that every runtime-configured Meter is given
a unique identifier. Unlike with the CPUMeter this is used
internally only. When reading/writing to htoprc instead of
CPU(N) - where N is an integer param (CPU number) - we use
the string name for each meter. For example, if we have a
configuration for a DynamicMeter for some Redis metrics, we
might read and write "Dynamic(redis)". This identifier is
subsequently matched (back) up to the configuration file so
we're able to re-create arbitrary user configurations.
The PCP platform configuration file format is fairly simple.
We expand configs from several directories, including the
users homedir alongside htoprc (below htop/meters/) and also
/etc/pcp/htop/meters. The format will be described via a
new pcp-htop(5) man page, but its basically ini-style and
each Meter has one or more metric expressions associated, as
well as specifications for labels, color and so on via a dot
separated notation for individual metrics within the Meter.
A few initial sample configuration files are provided below
./pcp/meters that give the general idea. The PCP "derived"
metric specification - see pmRegisterDerived(3) - is used
as the syntax for specifying metrics in PCP DynamicMeters.
Code that is shared across some (but not all) platforms
is moved into a 'generic' home. Makefile.am cleanups to
match plus some minor alphabetic reordering/formatting.
As discussed in https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/553
Division by 100000.0 worked because `sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)` happened to be 100.
By unhardcoding:
1) It becomes more clear what this 100000.0 figure comes from.
2) It protects against bugs in the case `sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)` ever changes.
Generic data, as CPU and memory usage, are used by Meters.
In paused mode they would stop receiving updates and especially Graph
Meters would stop showing continuous data.
Improves: #214Closes: #253
Reasoning:
- implementation was unsound -- broke down when I added a fairly
basic macro definition expanding to a struct initializer in a *.c
file.
- made it way too easy (e.g. via otherwise totally innocuous git
commands) to end up with timestamps such that it always ran
MakeHeader.py but never used its output, leading to overbuild noise
when running what should be a null 'make'.
- but mostly: it's just an awkward way of dealing with C code.
openzfs_sysctl_init() now returns void instead of int.
The ZfsArcStats->enabled flag is set inside the init function
now, instead of having to be set from its return value.
Preparation for more flag setting in Compressed ARC commit.
ZfsArcMeter_readStats() added and all Meter->values[] setting
moved to it, eliminating duplicated code in
{darwin,freebsd,linux,solaris}/Platform.c.
