On some AMD and Intel CPUs read()ing scaling_cur_freq is quite slow
(> 1ms). This delay accumulates for every core.
If the read on CPU 0 takes longer than 500us bail out and fall back to
reading the frequencies from /proc/cpuinfo.
Once the condition has been met, bail out early for the next couple of
scans.
Closes: #471
According to the Linux kernel documentation, "SwapCached" tracks "memory
that once was swapped out, is swapped back in but still also is
in the swapfile (if memory is needed it doesn't need to be swapped out
AGAIN because it is already in the swapfile. This saves I/O)."
It is only used on Linux to optimize memory handling in case the command
changes to a smaller-or-equal string.
This "optimization" however causes more code bloat and maintenance cost
on string handling issues than it gains.
Use only one enum instead of a global and a platform specific one.
Drop Platform_numberOfFields global variable.
Set known size of Process_fields array
This acheives two things:
- Allows for simple tie-breaking if values compare equal (needed to make sorting the tree-view stable)
- Allows for platform-dependent overriding of the sort-order for specific fields
Also fixes a small oversight on DragonFlyBSD when default-sorting.
* 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.
There is a possible path - albeit theoretical really - through
the btime initialization code in Linux ProcessList_new(), when
String_startsWith() is always false, which can result in btime
not being initialized.
This commit refactors the code to remove that possibility.
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.

libsensors.so is provided only by the -dev package, so search for
libsensors.so.5 (installed from the libsensors5 package) explicitly
see: dpkg-query -S libsensors.so
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.
