* This removes duplicated code that adjusts the sort direction from every
OS-specific folder.
* Most fields in a regular htop screen are OS-independent, so trying
Process_compare first and only falling back to the OS-specific
compareByKey function if it's an OS-specific field makes sense.
* This will allow us to override the sortKey in a global way without having
to edit each OS-specific file.
Small cleanups - add error handling, remove a local static
variable and refactor LinuxProcess_adjustTime (also rename
it, as its in LinuxProcessList.c not LinuxProcess.c) - and
while there, move the related 'btime' global variable into
LinuxProcessList.c so it can be made static.
Resolves https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/issues/384
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.
RichString_writeFrom takes a top spot during performance analysis due to the
calls to mbstowcs() and iswprint().
Most of the time we know in advance that we are only going to print regular
ASCII characters.
taskstats is only checked on runtime if the column RCHAR, WCHAR, SYSCR,
SYSCW, RBYTES, WBYTES, CNCLWB, IO_READ_RATE, IO_WRITE_RATE or IO_RATE is
selected.
taskstats is currently enabled by default.
Drop the taskstats configuration switch, to reduce the maintenance cost.
cgroup is only checked on runtime if the column CGROUP is selected.
cgroup is currently disabled by default, but most distributions do
enable it.

If currently two unsigned values are compared via `a - b`, in the case b
is actually bigger than a, the result will not be an negative number (as
-1 is expected) but a huge positive number as the subtraction is an
unsigned subtraction.
Avoid over-/underflow affected operations; use comparisons.
Modern compilers will generate sane code, like:
xor eax, eax
cmp rdi, rsi
seta al
sbb eax, 0
ret
man:sysconf(3) states:
The values obtained from these functions are system configuration constants.
They do not change during the lifetime of a process.
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.
Promote the Arg union to a core data type in Object.c such
that it is visible everywhere (many source files need it),
and correct declarations of several functions that use it.
The Process_sendSignal function is also corrected to have
the expected return type (bool, not void) - an error being
masked by ignoring this not-quite-harmless warning. I've
also added error checking to the kill(2) call here, which
was previously overlooked / missing (?).
Extends the MakeHeader script to auto-generate correct "extern"
function declarations in some cases that it currently does not.

this way a remount of /proc will not reset starttimes
and we can also see startup times for processes started before the mount
of /proc
also record btime (boot time in seconds since epoch) as Linux semi-global
Linux commit 06eb61844d841d0032a9950ce7f8e783ee49c0d0 ("sched/debug:
Add explicit TASK_IDLE printing") exposes kthreads idling using
TASK_IDLE in procfs as "I (idle)".
Until now, when sorting the STATE ("S") column, htop used the raw
value of the state character for comparison, however that led to the
undesirable effect of TASK_IDLE ('I') tasks being sorted above tasks
that were running ('R').
Thus, explicitly recognize the idle process state, and sort it below
others.
Adds support for showing columns with linux delay accounting.
This information can be read from the netlink interface, and thus we set up a socket to read from that when initializing the LinuxProcessList (LinuxProcessList_initNetlinkSocket). After that, for each process we call LinuxProcessList_readDelayAcctData, which sends a message thru the socket after setting up a callback to get the answer from the Kernel. That callback sets the process total delay time attribute. We then set the delay percent as the percentage of time process cpu time since last scan.
Got a report in #397 that htop runs in NetBSD
masquerading as Linux and using a compatibility /proc
(like we used to in FreeBSD) and that it builds fine
apart from this syscall.
* size_t nmemb (number of elements) first, then size_t size
* do not assume char is size 1 but use sizeof()
* allocate for char, not pointer to char (found by Michael McConville,
fixes#261)
