Following up with some discusson from a few months back,
where it was proposed that ProcessTable is a better name.
This data structure is definitely not a list ... if it
was one-dimensional it'd be a set, but in practice it has
much more in common with a two-dimensional table.
The Process table is a familiar operating system concept
for many people too so it resonates a little in that way
as well.
This commit refactors the Process and ProcessList structures such
they each have a new parent - Row and Table, respectively. These
new classes handle screen updates relating to anything that could
be represented in tabular format, e.g. cgroups, filesystems, etc,
without us having to reimplement the display logic repeatedly for
each new entity.
* Use saturatingSub() when subtracting CPU time and I/O read/write
bytes of processes so that the values would never go negative (causing unsigned integer wraparound).
* The CPU percentages of processes are now NaN if the time interval
between measures (the "delta time") is zero. Make the conditional
explicit and avoid division by zero. Previously the percentage values
would be 0.0.
Note: The saturatingSub() function is not used in cpu_delay_percent,
blkio_delay_percent and swapin_delay_percent with a comment added that
explains the reason.

First stage in sanitizing the process list structure so that htop
can support other types of lists too (cgroups, filesystems, ...),
in the not-too-distant future.
This introduces struct Machine for system-wide information while
keeping process-list information in ProcessList (now much less).
Next step is to propogate this separation into each platform, to
match these core changes.
This removes the duplication of dynamic meter/column hashtable
pointers that has come in between the Settings and ProcessList
structures - only one copy of these is needed. With the future
planned dynamic screens feature adding another pointer, let us
first clean this up before any further duplication happens.
This situation can arise if pcp-htop screen is resized right
at the same time sampling from pmcd(1) is happening. Have a
couple more goes at it before giving up entirely; once there
is no data available though we cannot proceed into accessing
the sample result data structure (segv will result) so a new
short-circuit guard is added there also.
In case the executable is an empty string, e.g. if pcp is run by an
unprivileged user, do not set procExe to an empty value, which breaks
the formatting of the PROCEXE column and the merged-cmdline logic.
This cannot be negative in these code locations, but for the
purposes of static checking like Coverity scan make it clear
and used the same unsigned type as ProcessList.h for the CPU
count variable (matching PL activeCPUs and existingCPUs).
Implements support for arbitrary Performance Co-Pilot
metrics with per-process instance domains to form new
htop columns. The column-to-metric mappings are setup
using configuration files which will be documented via
man pages as part of a follow-up commit.
We provide an initial set of column configurations so
as to provide new capabilities to pcp-htop: including
configs for containers, open fd counts, scheduler run
queue time, tcp/udp bytes/calls sent/recv, delay acct,
virtual machine guests, detailed virtual memory, swap.
Note there is a change to the configuration file path
resolution algorithm introduced for 'dynamic meters'.
First, look in any custom PCP_HTOP_DIR location. Then
iterate, in priority order, users home directory, then
local sysadmins files in /etc/pcp/htop, then readonly
configuration files below /usr/share/pcp/htop. This
final location becomes the preferred place for our own
shipped meter and column files.
The Settings file (htoprc) writing code is updated to
not using the numeric identifier for dynamic columns.
The same strategy used for dynamic meters is used here
where we write Dynamic(name) so the name can be setup
once more at start. Regular (static) columns writing
to htoprc - i.e. numerically indexed - is unchanged.
Adds AGRP (autogroup) and ANI (autogroup nice) columns that
report the information from /proc/PID/autogroup, as well as
handlers for '{' and '}' to change the autogroup nice value.
This is guarded by /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
such that sampling and/or changing values wont be attempted
unless the kernel feature is enabled.
Fixes: #720
Currently htop does not support offline CPUs and hot-swapping, e.g. via
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
Split the current single cpuCount variable into activeCPUs and
existingCPUs.

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.
Remove code now that we have common platform-independent command
line wrangling (thanks BenBE!). Add PCP platform support for a
handful of other recently arriving odds and ends - ELAPSED time,
CWD, and so on.
This introduces an initial platform for extracting metrics
using the PCP performance metrics API - PMAPI(3). It can
be used via the --enable-pcp=yes configure option.
So far I've added support for live localhost metrics only,
and only using pre-defined metrics already found in htop.
If available, all sampling is performed by pmcd(1) - else,
we fallback to htop doing the metric sampling itself (all
below the PMAPI). When pmcd is used, it may be configured
to run children with elevated privileges, so htop does not
need to be setuid (authentication with pmcd is available).
Additionally, the PMAPI allows us to support archives (for
historical analysis and for automated regression tests in
htop). We'll need platform-specific command line argument
additions, which isn't yet feasible in htop (not difficult
to add though).
The goal of this first version is minimal impact in terms
of modifying the htop codebase, to introduce key ideas in
PCP (metric namespace, metadata, APIs and so on) and give
us something to discuss, experiment with and build on.
