2020-05-08libvmon: fix bug in proc_follow_children()Vito Caputo
There's an optimization where the search start pointer is advanced on matches, to resume searching from the last matched position. The assumption is that the in-memory list order and the order coming out of the proc file will align. Except using the standard list iterator, this would treat the list head @ &proc->children as just another node in the list. In the unlikely case where &proc->children treated as a siblings member in a vmon_proc_t actually resulted in contents lining up as a match, the generation update would scribble over part of the parent pointer member, making things crashy when the parent was dereferenced later in the fuction. This commit just makes it skip over the &proc->children node if encountered, just like in proc_follow_threads(). Hopefully this eliminates the remaining very rare vwm crashes that occur during big parallel builds of the kernel or systemd.

2017-03-25libvmon: wrap X-Macro parser state in a structVito Caputo
This makes no functional difference, but silences warnings about unused variables when -Wall is enabled.
2017-03-25*: restore old indentation of switch casesVito Caputo
In the course of applying the new style over the rest of the code I decided it's obnoxiouos and prefer the old way of indenting the cases one level from the switch. I know it wastes horizontal space and can see the value of flattening the cases with the switch, but once you start having variables at the start of the switch body, and blocked cases, it just starts becoming quite unattractive without the indentation.
2017-03-25*: s/malloc/calloc/Vito Caputo
Eliminate some 0/NULL initializations.

2017-03-21libvmon: use pread() instead of lseek()+read()Vito Caputo
I had assumed pread wouldn't work on /proc files and that lseek to the start was the only safe form of seeking, but this seems to be working acceptably well even with buffer sizes of 2 requiring many sequential reads per sample. The lseek syscalls aren't free and it's nice to omit them entirely, and we're essentially being sequential in our pread() use, and always use a buffer that is large enough to fit everything in the first read anyways.
2017-03-21libvmon: use local buffers for constructing pathsVito Caputo
The vmon->buf[_bis] buffers are nice to shrink to absurdly small sizes for testing changes, but we can't do that when they're reused for path construction. Just use local on-stack buffers for constructing paths, and now things continue to function just slower with vmon->buf[8].
2017-03-21libvmon: shirt-circuit parse loop on final stateVito Caputo
This trivial change eliminates the final EOF realization read() syscall on every /proc file consumed for every process on every sample, which adds up.
2017-03-21libvmon: style cleanupsVito Caputo
Bring libvmon code inline with the direction vwm has headed in terms of coding style. Entirely mechanical changes with one exception replacing a free()/=NULL idiom with try_free().
2017-03-14libvmon: add "sys-wide" arg for sample callbacksVito Caputo
We need to eventually plumb an vwm_overlays_t reference back to sample_cb, for now we'll just obviate the need for the vwm_ptr global by plumbing the vwm_t through.
2017-02-02libvmon: use readdir() instead of readdir_r()Vito Caputo
readdir_r() has been deprecated in glibc
2016-09-09libvmon: clear {children,threads}_changed when samplingVito Caputo
The samplers may set these, but we need to clear them on every vmon_sample().
2016-09-09build: Adopt GNU automake (and thus autotools)Vito Caputo
Trying this out now that there's a pile of files... sigh. Note this spuriously duplicates list.h @ src/libvmon/list.h, the old Makefile shared list.h between vwm and libvmon, but I'm letting them have their own instances with autotools. Libvmon was always an independent project I just pulled in for vwm's use, and will likely continue to be developed independent of vwm with occasional syncs.
2016-09-09*: refactor all the thingsVito Caputo
Long overdue house cleaning. The addition of compositing/monitoring overlays in vwm3 pushed vwm well past what is a reasonable size for a simple thousand line file. This is a first step towards restoring sanity in the code, but no behavioral differences are intended, this is mostly just shuffling around and organizing code. I expect some performance regressions initially, follow-on commits will make more improvements to that end as the dust settles.
