pmdads389: prevent dynamic PMNS collisions
Encode the complete replication agreement CN as a valid PMNS component
instead of truncating it at the first dot. This keeps agreements with
shared CN prefixes distinct.
Register IPACA monitor metrics once per backend, outside the replication
agreement loop. Add archive-based QA coverage for the generated metric
names.

NetBSD: build and libpcp changes
On vm09, the $(PACKAGE_DISTRIBUTION) macro is netbsdelf not netbsd, which broke the Python build
macro in builddefs.
Also, this C compiler is more picky about the argument to isspace() et al, expecting
it to really be an (int) ... so some cosmetic casting needed to make the compiler warnings
go away here [probably more changes needed outside libpcp, but not in this commit]

src/libpcp/src/getopt.c: refactor __pmStartOptions()
On FreeBSD the change to include -Wl,--no-undefined in LDFLAGS caused a
build failure because the external symbol environ cannot be resolved for
a DSO at build time ... the symbol is resolved when the DSO is linked
with an app and gets crt1.o included.
Recode the logic here to use getenv() rather than walking the array of
pointers from environ[] directly.
Needed to backport the same change to the libpcp3 version of getopt.c
because it had the same issue.

OpenBSD 7.9 changes: build and package lists
The change to include -Wl,--no-undefined in LDFLAGS triggered build failures
on OpenBSD (and the other *BSD platforms it looks like, but I've not triaged
these yet) ... specifically when building *any* DSO we need an explicit
-lc. While needed here, this is harmless everywhere else, which is
fortunate because the change needs to be made in lots of places.
Also in this commit package list and package script updates for
OpenBSD 7.9.

libpcp, qa: allow distinct client and server certificates
The OpenSSL migration in 3e8b61aeda left the client certificate
selection in an else-if chain. When client-specific files were
configured, the generic server certificate could still be loaded,
causing the subsequent client key to fail the certificate/key match.
Commit fe8e9f8ddc later commented out QA 712 coverage for separate
client and server certificates without documenting the reason.
This change restores that coverage and selects the client certificate
and key as a pair. Reject partial client-specific configuration.
Tested with QA 712 on macOS in Tart.

packaging and build: wind back some OpenMandriva changes and fix AmazonLinux
Some of the OpenMandriva changes broke the build on other rpm
platforms, so re-scope these to be mandriva-only or undo 'em
and I'll return to the issue when I go back to getting OpenMandriva
working:
build/rpm/GNUmakefile:
- if rpm -ba fails, fail the build
build/rpm/pcp.spec.in
- need %{nil} (not nothing) for empty macro definitions
- some of the Requires: and Build-Requires: package macro-isation
was wrong for non-mandriva platforms
General fixups and improvements to the following scripts:
- qa/admin/check-other
- qa/admin/check-rpm
- qa/admin/check-vm
- qa/admin/list-packages
- qa/admin/old-list-packages
Package changes specific to AmazonLinux 2023:
- qa/admin/other-packages/manifest
- qa/admin/other-packages/unavailable
- qa/admin/package-lists/AmazonLinux+2023+x86_64
Make the byte-compiling changes for Python interface layers mandriva-only:
- src/include/builddefs.in
- src/python/GNUmakefile
Make the omit -flto from CFLAGS changes mandriva-only:
- src/perl/GNUmakefile
- vendor/GNUmakefile

pmdasmart: enumerate block devices from sysfs instead of lsblk
Replace the lsblk command with direct sysfs enumeration of
/sys/class/block/ for discovering SMART-capable block devices.
The previous approach used a hardcoded lsblk exclusion list
(lsblk -e 1,2,7,11,251,252) to filter virtual devices by major
number. This was fragile because major numbers like zram (251)
and device-mapper (252) are dynamically allocated and vary across
distributions and kernel configurations.
The new smart_enumerate_devices() function filters sysfs entries
using three checks:
- skip partitions (have a "partition" sysfs attribute)
- skip virtual devices (symlink resolves through /devices/virtual/)
- skip non-disk SCSI types such as CD-ROM (device/type != 0)
Accepted devices are sorted by major:minor to match the ordering
previously provided by lsblk, preserving instance identifier
stability for existing pmlogger archives.
The SMART_SETUP_LSBLK environment variable override is retained
for QA testing.

pmdasmart: skip devices without wwid instead of aborting
When uuid_instance_refresh() encountered a block device without a
world wide identifier (e.g. zram or loop devices), it called pclose()
on the unfinished lsblk pipe and returned the error. This aborted
the entire instance refresh rather than just skipping the problematic
device.
Change to continue so devices without a wwid are silently skipped in
the UUID instance domain while the remaining devices are processed
normally.
Add QA test archive smart-root-006 with a fake device name
(pcp_qa_disk0) that cannot match any real /sys/block/ entry,
and extend test 1397 to verify the PMDA handles missing wwid
gracefully.
Resolves #2702

src/include/builddefs.in: changes to byte-compiling Python interface bits
New comment says is all:
we're forcing integrated byte-compiling in the builds now with
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=0
over in src/python/GNUmakefile
so we don't need the find and append to the end of python3-pcp.list

build: enable -no-undefined for ld(1)
Mandriva's rpmbuild forces this, which lead to a bunch of build
failures.
It is probably a "good thing", so turn it on for all our builds
and then deal with the exceptions:
- pmcd DSO PMDA (needs symbols from running pmcd at dlopen() time)
- Python wrappers (by design and without exception, these need symbol
resolution at dlopen())
And this also fixes this class of build failure for OpenMandriva.

macos: preserve already-absolute libpcp paths in QT_LINKER_FIXUP
The previous guard only skipped rewriting a dependency already rooted
at $(PCP_LIB_DIR), so any other absolute libpcp path found by otool -L
would still get blindly prefixed with $(PCP_LIB_DIR), producing a
broken concatenated path instead of being left alone. Match on any
leading "/" instead, so every already-absolute dependency is preserved
verbatim and only a bare "libpcp.N.dylib" name gets rewritten.
Verified via a full Makepkgs --with-qt=yes rebuild plus standalone
double-invocation (make run twice) on pmdumptext, pmchart and pmtime:
otool -L shows a single /usr/local/lib/libpcp.N.dylib entry on both
runs and all three run standalone (-V) without DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
pmquery (also named in review) builds fine and never links libpcp, so
the fixup is a no-op there. pmgadgets fails to build for an unrelated,
pre-existing reason (missing images/pmgadgets.png, not in default
SUBDIRS); pmview needs ENABLE_QT3D, which this configuration has off.

macos: fix libpcp install_name for qmake-built Qt tools
pmchart, pmdumptext, pmtime, pmquery, pmgadgets and pmview are linked
directly by qmake's generated Makefile via the QTMAKE build-me recipe,
which bypasses the $(PROGTARGET)/$(LIBTARGET) rules in buildrules that
invoke LINKER_MAKERULE after linking. On macOS that rule is what
rewrites a binary's bare "libpcp.N.dylib" dependency into an absolute
$(PCP_LIB_DIR) path, so without it these Qt tools keep the bare name
and dyld fails to load them outside the build tree.
Add QT_LINKER_FIXUP, the same fixup parameterized on an explicit binary
path (build-me has no mtime-based prerequisites, so $@ isn't available
and the recipe can legitimately run more than once per build; the
fixup skips paths already rooted at $(PCP_LIB_DIR) so repeat runs are
a no-op instead of nesting the prefix), and call it after $(LNMAKE) in
each affected GNUmakefile.

build/tar/verify-install: replace tar -tv usage
coderabbitai pointed out in the context of PR 2701 that
tar -tv is not portable ... GNU and BSD cannot agree on the output
format, so post-processing this with awk to pick fields out is
doomed.
Claude handily suggested that the underlying archive format is
invariant, and so a drop-in replacement in Python could be used
safely across all platforms.
[I've finally encountered an actual example where Python is really,
really useful].

libpcp: pmPrintValue: allow control of digits of precision for float and double values
After bozo was rebuilt, the new faster CPU (AMD this time, not Intel as
well) mean that the lmsensors PMDA was exporting values for PM_TYPE_FLOAT
metrics like lmsensors.amdgpu_pci_7600.sclk in the 600000000 range, but
t.his is big enough to flip libc so that %x.8g produces a value of 6e+8
(scientific notation, ot fixed format) which blows up qa/1480 when it asks
awk to do arithmetic on this value which is no longer numeric in awkland.
This is really symptomatic of an arbitrary decision in libpcp (8) that
the user cannot change. pmPrintValue() is sufficently low-level that the
problem is visible in pminfo, pmprobe, pmrep, ...
So I've introduced another environment variable, $PCP_FLOAT_PRECISION that
can be used to set the precision for float value printing to be something
other than 8.
And the same problem exists and is fixed the same way for PM_TYPE_DOUBLE
where the (new) $PCP_DOUBLE_PRECISION allows something different to the
hard-coded 16 digits of precision.
