The RSS related statistics are now back in the NetBSD kernel.
These values were disabled since day0 until today.
libkvm(3) users will still receive inappropriate values as RSS statistics
are updated upon sysctl(3) call.

rawcpu of type int, is declared inside main(){} and it can be passed as
uninitialized to setpinfo().
The setpinfo() function has a switch checking the value of rawcpu:
if (!rawcpu)
pi[i].pcpu /= 1.0 - exp(ki[i].p_swtime * log_ccpu);
rawcpu is set to 1 with the command line argument "-C".
-C Change the way the CPU percentage is calculated by using a
"raw" CPU calculation that ignores "resident" time (this
normally has no effect).
Bug reproducible with an invocation: "ps u". It hides with "ps uC".
Initialize rawcpu by default to 0, before the getopt(3) machinery.
Detected with MSan running on NetBSD/amd64.

This is a legacy interface from 4.4BSD, and it was
introduced to overcome shortcomings of ptrace(2) at that time, which are
no longer relevant (performance). Today /proc/#/ctl offers a narrow
subset of ptrace(2) commands and is not applicable for modern
applications use beyond simplistic tracing scenarios.
This removal will simplify kernel internals. Users will still be able to
use all the other /proc files.
This change won't affect other procfs files neither Linux compat
features within mount_procfs(8). /proc/#/ctl isn't available on Linux.
Remove:
- /proc/#/ctl from mount_procfs(8)
- P_FSTRACE note from the documentation of ps(1)
- /proc/#/ctl and filesystem tracing documentation from mount_procfs(8)
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL documentation from kauth(9)
- source code file miscfs/procfs/procfs_ctl.c
- PFSctl and procfs_doctl() from sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs.h
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL from sys/sys/kauth.h
- PSL_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/proc.h
- P_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/sysctl.h
Reduce code complexity after removal of this functionality.
Update TODO.ptrace accordingly: remove two entries about /proc tracing.
Do not keep legacy notes as comments in the headers about removed
PSL_FSTRACE / P_FSTRACE, as this interface had little number of users
(close or equal to zero).
Proposed on tech-kern@.
All filesystem tracing utility users are encouraged to switch to ptrace(2).

Unfortunately only the source code for the compiler is present for that
release. The v2 archive is missing the manuals & only contains a some of the
commands.
Switch to v3 and reference manual category eight, as per r1.32 of
src/bin/ps/ps.1 from OpenBSD.
Heads up from Ingo Schwarze.
depend on new devname_r(3) as heart. Add /dev/pts magic directly to
devname(3). While it can lead to returning non-existing paths, the
behavior is more consistent that way. Drop caching layer in devname(3),
it doesn't buy anything for the common case of having access to the
database. Teach devname(3) proper fallback behavior of scanning /dev.
Create both old-style and new-style database for now in /etc/rc.d/sysdb.
getpagesize() to size_t. For some reason getpagesize() is defined to
return int, and several of the page counts we get come back from the
kernel as int32_t; in LP64 without the cast the byte count will be
computed in a 32-bit value and for large processes will overflow and
become negative... and then remain negative when divided by 1024 to
convert to kilobytes.
Fixes a problem I hit the other day where I saw negative RSS, which
turns out also to be PR 40642.
Note: other logic in here will break down when we first get >2TB
processes... and int32 page counts will break on >8TB processes. But
hopefully we won't see any of that for a few years yet.
