Fix #148: ARM: sadc crashes because of unaligned memory accesses
Use posix_memalign() with 16 bytes alignment request instead of
realloc() to guarantee 16 byte alignment requested by several
sysstat's structures.
Note: 16 byte alignment is no longer needed by sysstat's
structures. Yet removing the corresponding attributes
(__attribute__ ((aligned (16)))) for example in rd_stats.h
would imply a format change for sar/sadc binary data files.
These attributes will be removed when work is done to make sa binary
datafiles portable (see #135).
This is really a nasty point here. The fix should be to make sar and sadf
able to read both big and little-endian binary data files.
For now we just remove the problematic test cases.
The fill_file_menu() function was rewritten and tries to handle
all three possible formats (`saYYYYMMDD, `saDD', `YYYYMM/saDD')
by collecting existing log files into a temporary list of strings,
which is then used after being sorted to generate the menu.
NOTE: isag is no longer maintained. This patch has been provided by
Debian team (see #146).
Add Refresh button to file menu to make it possible to re-read contents
of sysstat directory in case isag is running over midnight, and new
file is created (LP: #924197).
NOTE: isag is no longer maintained. This patch has been provided by
Debian team (see #146).
RFE #140: mpstat: Provide CPU statistics based on NUMA node placement
This patch for mpstat provides CPU load statistics for NUMA nodes.
It uses CPU statistics read from /proc/stat file then split them among
all nodes based on node placement.
Node placement is determined using /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/node#
file indicating which node the CPU is bound to. The node the CPU belongs
to is saved in an array of integers named cpu2node (e.g. cpu2node[3]
gives the node number for CPU#3).
The number of CPU per node is saved in another array of integers named
cpu_per_node (e.g. cpu_per_node[0] gives the number of CPU bound to
node#0).
The statistics for node N is calculated as the sum of statistics for
each CPU bound to node N divided by the number of CPU bound to that
node.
The patch assumes that statistics for node "all" are the same as
statistics for CPU "all".
Node statistics can be displayed using the new mpstat's option "-n"
(e.g. "mpstat -n 2 5"). Nodes to be displayed can be selected using
option "-N" the same way processors can be selected using option "-P"
(e.g. "mpstat -n -N 0,3 2 5").
PLEASE TEST THIS PATCH as my own machine offers limited possibilities.

Without this patch, make executed all the tests (even when one of them

SVG: Don't extend X axis beyond time end

SVG: Properly terminate SVG file when no data have been found
When a data file contains only a Linux Restart message with no

This patch fixes that and display "No data!" instead.
Add a new option ("packed") to tell sadf to put multiple charts on a row

In fact, with this option, all charts from the same activity (and for
the same device) will appear on the same row.

SVG: Give actual canvas height
Add a comment at the end of SVG output that indicates the actual canvas
height.
The actual height is frequently different (i.e. smaller) than that
indicated in the header of the SVG output. This is because some
activities have pre-allocated entries that don't result in graphs being
drawn, or because option 'skipempty' has been used.
Remove memory statistics from sar (those displayed by sar -R, not
sar -r!) I have always considered those data displayed by sar as a
"mistake from my youth". They are not related to the speed of any
specific device (except maybe CPU, but there are other means to
measure CPU speed...), so displaying data per second is just irrelevant.
Cast values to (unsigned long long) before calling pval()
pval() function, used by sadf for its raw output format, assumes values
type is unsigned long long. So cast the values to that type before
calling this function.

sadf: Add new output format: raw (part 1)
Add a new output format to sadf to display statistics saved in a binary
data file in raw format. Counters values are displayed "as is", without
trying to calculate an average value over the elapsed time interval.
This is something I have selfishly wanted to have for a long time now,
mainly for debugging purpose.
This first patch adds all the necessary global functions, and implements
the raw format only for CPU and task creation/system switching
statistics.
When a newly registered device (network interface or disk) was
supernumerary (i.e. there was no slot left in the list to store it), it
would take the place of another device in the list. This other device
would also appear as new and its counters would jump as if starting from
zero. This patch fixes that.
