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.
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 includes:
- Wrap function implementations
- Pointer alignment for function signatures
- Pointer alignment for variable declarations
- Whitespace after keywords
- Whitespace after comma
- Whitespace around initializers
- Whitespace around operators
- Code indentation
- Line break for single line statements
- Misleading alignment
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.
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.
* Rename internal identifier from TTY_NR to just TTY
* Unify column header on platforms
* Use devname(3) on BSD derivate to show the actual terminal,
simplifies current FreeBSD implementation.
* Use 'unsigned long int' as id type, to fit dev_t on Linux.
Only on Solaris the terminal path is not yet resolved.
By storing the per-process m_resident and m_virt values in the form
htop wants to display them in (KB, not pages), we no longer need to
have definitions of pageSize and pageSizeKB in the common CRT code.
These variables were never really CRT (i.e. display) related in the
first place. It turns out the darwin platform code doesn't need to
use these at all (the process values are extracted from the kernel
in bytes not pages) and the other platforms can each use their own
local pagesize variables, in more appropriate locations.
Some platforms were actually already doing this, so this change is
removing duplication of logic and variables there.
The global ProcessList structure contains a couple of unused
fields. 'sharedMem' has never been used by any Meter, since
its not been anything other than zero in Linux /proc/meminfo
for many, many years. The freeMem field is only used in the
usedMem calculation, so it can reside on the stack like some
other memory variables used within-calculations-only and not
exposed to the user via a Meter.
