  • Followup: RE: make error on CentOS 5.3

    Not sure about previous versions but in 3.8beta1 this can be fixed by making a change in m_linux.c as follows: change: #include <asm/page.h> to: #include <sys/user.h> The reason this is a problem is because the i386 version of asm/page.h has PAGE_SHIFT defined while the x86_64 version does not. Until now my tests have been limited to the i386 platform. FYI: You also need...

  • Comment: Strange output - CPU and IOWAIT numbers odd

    Nothing is lying about iowait. An iowait of 0.0% is not odd...it is very good. Iowait has nothing to do with the amount of time a process waits for i/o. It is only a measure of the amount of time the *kernel* waits to carry out an i/o operation. Such waits should be extremly rare. Events which would cause kernel i/o wait include: a device running out of buffer space (which forces the kernel...

  • Comment: Sun Studio 12 cc: -xarch=v9 deprecated

    Thanks for the note. I will get a fix in to the next beta. At least the new flag is consistent with gcc.

  • top 3.8beta1 segfault when terminal size is >148 (netbsd)

    Submitted via e-mail: Hi, I'm using NetBSD-current/i386 and they imported top 3.8beta1 to base system. If i call top and my screen size is >148 x some_size (doesn't influence) top segfaults: $ top Memory fault (core dumped) If i resize to 148 x some_size, it runs fine. I'm remotely logged (ssh) to the machine. I think the problem is some buffer that is overflowing, tried to...

  • Comment: RAM free on Solaris 10

    I'm going to close this bug, and mark it with a resolution of "none". If there is any further difficulty with the display of physical memory or swap, please report it as a new (and separate) bug. Thanks!

  • Comment: RAM free on Solaris 10

    I'm going to have to guess on exactly what you mean by "this problem" and assume you are referring to the difference between what top shows for total swap & free swap, and what swap -s shows. This is explained in the section "SunOS 5 NOTES" of the man page for top 3.8beta1: "Unlike previous versions of top, the swap figures will differ from the summary output of swap(1M) since the latter...

    Okay, I will use the last config script you posted.

  • Comment: Top verion 3.8beta1 hangs

    That's curious. Ceased to refresh, but did it respond to any key commands? ^L or ? or even the space bar? If you have gdb and know how to use it, you can provide additional information by running top from within gdb, then when it stops refreshing type ctrl-\ to get back to gdb, then the command "where" to get a stack trace. It might tell me what it thinks its doing. 3.8 added caching of...

  • Comment: top-3.7 segfaults on hpux/ia64

    Can we conduct the configure check only for the hpux11_64 module? Or do we know that tgetent always returns 0 on that system?.
