Generic data, as CPU and memory usage, are used by Meters.
In paused mode they would stop receiving updates and especially Graph
Meters would stop showing continuous data.

man:sysconf(3) states:
The values obtained from these functions are system configuration constants.
They do not change during the lifetime of a process.
Add a date meter and sort header and source files in Makefile
Change the lists of header and source files sorted alphabetical and one
file per line. This way diffs become better readable and merges easier.
This is a straightforward extension of the existing multi-column CPU meter
code, which now allows for up CPU meters to be displayed in up to 16 columns.
This also adds the meter declarations to all the platform-specific code.
The MIN, MAX, CLAMP, MINIMUM, and MAXIMUM macros appear
throughout the codebase with many re-definitions. Make
a single copy of each in a common header file, and use
the BSD variants of MINIMUM/MAXIMUM due to conflicts in
the system <sys/param.h> headers.
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.
The current OpenBSD-specific CPU usage code is broken. The `cpu`
parameter of `Platform_setCPUValues` is an integer in the interval
[0, cpuCount], not [0, cpuCount-1]: Actual CPUs are numbered from
1, the “zero” CPU is a “virtual” one which represents the average
of actual CPUs (I guess it’s inherited from Linux’s `/proc/stats`).
This off-by-one error leads to random crashes.
Moreover, the displayed CPU usage is more detailed with system,
user and nice times.
I made the OpenBSD CPU code more similar to the Linux CPU code,
removing a few old bits from OpenBSD’s top(1). I think it will be
easier to understand, maintain and evolve.
I’d love some feedback from experienced OpenBSD people.
The source code correctly states that the maximum PID number in
the OpenBSD kernel is fixed in sys/sys/proc.h, however this was
updated in revision 1.215 (two years ago!) from 32766 to 99999.
Introduction of CP_SPIN sched state broke hard-coded state indexes
resulting in the meters incorrectly reporting bogus intr data instead of
CPU usage. Change hardcoded values to sched.h macros.
Specifically, Platform_signals[] and Platform_numberOfSignals. Both are
not supposed to be mutable. Marking them 'const' puts them into rodata
sections in binary. And for Platform_numberOfSignals, this aids
optimization (aids only Link Time Optimization for now). :)
