pcp-ps: optimize initial reporting and archive samples - #2692
Conversation
Print non-CPU reports from the first sample, while retaining the previous-sample wait for %CPU output. Compute TIME from current user and system CPU time, exit live one-shot reports immediately, and add an archive warm-up fetch so -s N prints N reports. Fix pylint formatting issues.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change can produce incorrect first CPU readings, crash rate-based reports when the sampling interval is zero, and print one extra archive report for -s N. Merge should wait until these bounded correctness and reliability issues are addressed. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Archive reports need one warm-up record for CPU-rate output. We now fetch that record internally, so |

Add the warm-up sample only when the report needs previous values.
report() prints the first archive record for default and other non-CPU reports. Line 907 then changes -s N to N + 1, so those modes emit N + 1 reports.
Apply the extra sample only for user, username, or selective %cpu output. Add a regression test for a default archive report with -s N.

Archive processing fetches the first record before reporting starts. Keep the extra fetch for every output mode so `-s N` produces N reports, while only %CPU output waits for a previous sample. Add a focused test for formats that need previous metric values.

Check proc.psinfo.stime before CPU reports.
-u and selective %cpu output call ProcessStatusUtil.system_percent(), which reads the previous proc.psinfo.stime value. This condition checks proc.psinfo.utime instead. If utime has a previous value but stime does not, the first CPU report prints - instead of waiting. Update the test fixture in src/pcp/ps/test/process_stat_report_test.py to use separate utime and stime metrics.
