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.
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.
On OmniOS /usr/include/sys/regset.h redefines ERR to 13 - \r, breaking
the Enter key.
Since ncruses macros use the ERR macro, we can not use another name.
Closes: #634
The system interfaces kstat_lookup() and kstat_data_lookup() take a
non-constant string parameter, but passing string literals is valid.
Add wrapper functions to ignore all the const-discard warnings.
Refactor the sample time code to make one call to gettimeofday
(aka the realtime clock in clock_gettime, when available) and
one to the monotonic clock. Stores each in more appropriately
named ProcessList fields for ready access when needed. Every
platform gets the opportunity to provide their own clock code,
and the existing Mac OS X specific code is moved below darwin
instead of in Compat.
A couple of leftover time(2) calls are converted to use these
ProcessList fields as well, instead of yet again sampling the
system clock.

The libcap code is Linux-specific so move it all below
the linux/ platform subdirectory. As this feature has
custom command-line long options I provide a mechanism
whereby each platform can add custom long options that
augment the main htop options. We'll make use this of
this with the pcp/ platform in due course to implement
the --host and --archive options there.

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
Several of our newer meters have merged coding concerns in terms
of extracting values and displaying those values. This commit
rectifies that for the SysArch and Hostname meters, allowing use
of this code with alternative front/back ends. The SysArch code
is also refined to detect whether the platform has an os-release
file at all and/or the sys/utsname.h header via configure.ac.
On Linux kernels the size of the values exported for network
device bytes and packets has used a 64 bit integer for quite
some time (2.6+ IIRC). Make the procfs value extraction use
correct types and change internal types used to rate convert
these counters (within the NetworkIO Meter) 64 bit integers,
where appropriate.
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
Move platform-specific code out of the htop.c main function
and into the platform sub-directories - primarily this is
the Linux procfs path check and sensors setup/teardown; not
needed on any other platforms. No functional changes here.
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.
Squashed the following commits:
* Solaris: Get LWP enumeration working
* Solaris: Make showing and hiding of kernel threads behave
* Solaris: remove usage of lwpstatus that is no longer needed
* Solaris: no discrete access to parent proc structure needed
* Solaris: Restore runtime MaxPid detection after LWP changes
* Solaris: Workaround virtual PID signal issue by shadowing kill() with a macro
* Solaris: Fix unintention double-shifting of virtual PID for LWP enumeration
* Solaris: Add LWPID to default display since LWP enumeration is also default
* Solaris: use PAGE_SIZE_KB from Process.h instead of custom definition
* Solaris: stop LWP enumeration at 1023 LWPs per proc since that is all we can handle in the virtual PID

* Initial setup of Solaris platform directory
* Add Solaris platform into autoconf template
* Uptime and load averages
* Add dependency on libkstat
* Basic process listing
* Zone name display
* CPU detection
* Per-process memory and CPU usage parsed correctly
* Uses sysconf to discover number of CPUs, instead of more complex libkstat code
* Simple memory display working
* Reduce repetitive calls to the PAGE_SIZE macro when reading memory info
* Add Project, Contract, Task, and Pool into process properties
* Use system major()/minor() implementations and remove extraneous definition of mkdev()
* Get the STARTTIME column working properly, using the Linux implementation as a guide
