Following that patch referenced below, the top SUPGRPS
field would produce a segmentation fault and ps SUPGRP
would often show "(null)". Such problems resulted from
some faulty logic in the status2proc() routine dealing
with 'Groups' (supgid) which served as a source field.
For many processes the original code produced an empty
string which prevented conversion to the expected "-".
Moreover, prior to release 3.3.15 such an empty string
will become 0 after strtol() which pwcache_get_group()
translates to 'root' yielding very misleading results.
So, now we'll check for empty '/proc/#/status/Groups:'
fields & consistently provide a "-" value for callers.
[ we'll also protect against future problems in that ]

This refactor was done in response to the Qualys patch
referenced below, which deals with some 'readeither()'
flaws under the master branch. Under our newlib branch
those flaws mostly disappear since the function is now
private. But without a redesign the #define is broken.
When the #define FALSE_THREADS is active, some special
strings showing "[ duplicate ENUM ]" will appear under
each child thread. Note that the real reason for those
appearing isn't being exercised, only their mechanics.
In reality, they only show when a user duplicates such
enums in a results stack & only 1 instance can own it.

readeither() caches (in new_p) a pointer to the proc_t of a task-group
leader, but readeither()'s callers can do pretty much anything with the
proc_t structure passed to and/or returned by this function. For
example, they can 1/ free it or 2/ recycle it (by passing it to
readeither() as x).
1/ leads to a use-after-free, and 2/ leads to unexpected behavior when
taskreader()/simple_readtask() is called with new_p equal to x (this is
not a theoretical flaw: 2/ happens in readproctab3() when want_task()
returns false and p is a group leader).
As a workaround, we keep a copy of new_p's first member (tid) in static
storage, and the next times we enter readeither() we check this "canary"
against the tid in new_p: if they differ, we reset new_p to NULL, which
forces the allocation of a new proc_t (the new "leader", or reference).
This always detects 2/ (because free_acquired(x,1) memsets x and hence
new_p); always detects 1/ if freed via free_acquired() and/or freeproc()
(very likely, otherwise memory may be leaked); probably detects 1/ even
if freed directly via free() (because the canary is the first member of
proc_t, likely to be overwritten by free()); but can not detect 1/ if
free() does not write to new_p's chunk at all.
Moreover, accessing new_p->tid to check the canary in case 1/ is itself
a use-after-free, so a better long-term solution should be implemented
at some point (we wanted to avoid intrusive and backward-incompatible
changes in this library function, hence this imperfect workaround).

If QUICK_THREADS is not defined (it is not by default, but most
distributions enable it) and task_dir_missing is true (only on very old
kernels), then readtask() forgets to reset some of the struct proc_t t's
members, which later results in double-free()s in free_acquired().
For now, we simply synchronized the list of members to be reset with the

Note: this is by far the most important and complex patch of the whole
series, please review it carefully; thank you very much!
For this patch, we decided to keep the original function's design and
skeleton, to avoid regressions and behavior changes, while fixing the
various bugs and overflows. And like the "Harden file2str()" patch, this
patch does not fail when about to overflow, but truncates instead: there
is information available about this process, so return it to the caller;
also, we used INT_MAX as a limit, but a lower limit could be used.
The easy changes:
- Replace sprintf() with snprintf() (and check for truncation).
- Replace "if (n == 0 && rbuf == 0)" with "if (n <= 0 && tot <= 0)" and
do break instead of return: it simplifies the code (only one place to
handle errors), and also guarantees that in the while loop either n or
tot is > 0 (or both), even if n is reset to 0 when about to overflow.
- Remove the "if (n < 0)" block in the while loop: it is (and was) dead
code, since we enter the while loop only if n >= 0.
- Rewrite the missing-null-terminator detection: in the original
function, if the size of the file is a multiple of 2047, a null-
terminator is appended even if the file is already null-terminated.
- Replace "if (n <= 0 && !end_of_file)" with "if (n < 0 || tot <= 0)":
originally, it was equivalent to "if (n < 0)", but we added "tot <= 0"
to handle the first break of the while loop, and to guarantee that in
the rest of the function tot is > 0.
- Double-force ("belt and suspenders") the null-termination of rbuf:
this is (and was) essential to the correctness of the function.
- Replace the final "while" loop with a "for" loop that behaves just
like the preceding "for" loop: in the original function, this would
lead to unexpected results (for example, if rbuf is |\0|A|\0|, this
would return the array {"",NULL} but should return {"","A",NULL}; and
if rbuf is |A|\0|B| (should never happen because rbuf should be null-
terminated), this would make room for two pointers in ret, but would
write three pointers to ret).
The hard changes:
- Prevent the integer overflow of tot in the while loop, but unlike
file2str(), file2strvec() cannot let tot grow until it almost reaches
INT_MAX, because it needs more space for the pointers: this is why we
introduced ARG_LEN, which also guarantees that we can add "align" and
a few sizeof(char*)s to tot without overflowing.
- Prevent the integer overflow of "tot + c + align": when INT_MAX is
(almost) reached, we write the maximal safe amount of pointers to ret
(ARG_LEN guarantees that there is always space for *ret = rbuf and the
NULL terminator).

1/ Replace sprintf() with snprintf() (and check for truncation).
2/ Prevent an integer overflow of ub->siz. The "tot_read--" is needed to
avoid an off-by-one overflow in "ub->buf[tot_read] = '\0'". It is safe
to decrement tot_read here, because we know that tot_read is equal to
ub->siz (and ub->siz is very large).
We believe that truncation is a better option than failure (implementing
failure instead should be as easy as replacing the "tot_read--" with
"tot_read = 0").

1/ Do not read past the terminating null byte when hashing the name.
2/ S[x] is used as an index, but S is "char *S" (signed) and hence may
index the array out-of-bounds. Bit-mask S[x] with 127 (the array has 128
entries).
3/ Use a size_t for j, not an int (strlen() returns a size_t).
Notes:
- These are (mostly) theoretical problems, because the contents of
/proc/PID/status are (mostly) trusted.
- The "name" member of the status_table_struct has 8 bytes, and
"RssShmem" occupies exactly 8 bytes, which means that "name" is not
null-terminated. This is fine right now, because status2proc() uses
memcmp(), not strcmp(), but it is worth mentioning.

While that old master branch library may utilize those
memory allocation functions found in the alloc module,
it was inappropriate for this newlib branch to subject
callers to a stderr message followed by an early exit.
Of course, the old libprocps offered a message handler
override provision (xalloc_err_handler) but that, too,
would seem to be inappropriate for our modern library.
[ remember the battles fought with that damn libnuma ]
So, this commit will tweak those old inherited sources
setting the stage for standardized return values/errno
settings in connection with a memory allocation error.
------------------------------------------------------
Along the way, we'll address the following miscellany:
. Completely eliminate usage of anything from alloc.h.
This, of course, entails our own error checking of the
alternative allocation calls from stdlib.h & string.h.
. Eliminate use of the strdup function where possible,
as with 'procps_uptime' and 'procps_loadavg' routines.
. Whack some obsolete code (getslabinfo) in sysinfo.c.

Awhile back, that former QUICK_THREADS #define evolved
into the development (only) FALSE_THREADS which can be
used to ensure a 'duplicate ENUM' convention is output
when certain string fields can't be easily duplicated.
Unfortunately, that original implementation was marred
with zeros being displayed for /proc/$$/meminfo fields
in all the child threads for a multi-threaded process.
So this commit corrects that zero memory field buglet.

That #define QUICK_THREADS was impossible to implement
under the new <pids> interface. Plus it was also found
to distort some thread information (referenced below).
So, it's always been inactive under the newlib branch.
However, it will (with small changes) still serve some
useful purpose in our library. Now, when the redefined
FALSE_THREADS is active, those special strings showing
"[ duplicate ENUM ]" will appear for any child thread.
Note: the real reason for such strings appearing isn't
being exercised, only their mechanics. In actual usage
they are substituted when a user duplicates such items
in a results stack & only the 1st instance can own it.
With this patch, we are simply fooling the <pids> code
into thinking an item was duplicated via a NULL value.

Unlike other cached string fields (such as USER name),
that lxcname field was defined as 'const char *'. This
required a custom 'set' function using a cast in order
to avoid a compiler warning regarding that assignment.
So this commit brings lxcname into line with all those
other cached string fields. And while we're at it, the
reason some string fields have no 'freefunc' will also
be explained with some new comments in the Item_table.

In that reference below a specific systemd problem was
fixed in the commit shown. However lurking deep within
the <pids> interface was yet one final case where NULL
could be returned, involving 'strv' and the following:
. a user requested both a single string vector (always
returned as a normal string) & the vectorized version,
as with PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE and PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V.
. a user simply duplicated some vectorized enum items.
The root of that NULL problem is the fact those single
string vectors shared the same proc_t field with their
true vectorized version. So while multiple occurrences
for most strings could be satisfied with strdup versus
the normal ownership usurpation, those true vectorized
fields could not be quite so easily copied/duplicated.
Thus newlib chose to return a NULL result.strv pointer
under either of the above scenarios (which perhaps was
just a user boo-boo in the first place). In any event,
the NULL was a potential for true string vectors only.
Now, since newlib is the sole caller into the readproc
module, separate fields have been created for what are
just normal strings (never vectorized) and those which
remain the true vectorized versions. And, former flags
which only worked if combined, now act as stand alone.
Thus, both PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE & PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V
can be used simultaneously (as they should have been).
Also with this patch, items which a user duplicates in
the stack (beyond the first such item) will return the
the string "[ duplicate ENUM_ID ]". This practice will
apply to both single strings and true vectorized ones.
In addition to informing users of their error, it will
also mean potential NULLs need now never be a concern.

What we should use instead is that more recent tunable

MALLOC attribute move into relevant .c files
NORETURN attribute moved to relevant .c, not used in library
PURE attribute removed, it wasn't used
KLONG/KLF/STRTOUKL were fixed for long, so now just use long
HIDDEN attribute removed. It was for 3 functions. The PROCPS_EXPORT
seems to do the same (opposite) thing.
likely/unlikely removed from most places, its highly debateable
this does anything useful as CPUs have gotten smarter about branches.
Re-arranged the includes, ALL external programs should just #include
<proc/procps.h> then proc/procps.h includes headers for files that
have exported functions. procps.h and the headers it includes should
not use items that are not exportable (e.g. hidden functions or
macros) they go in procps-private.h
Multiple scanf()s use the GNU-permitted %Lu. This is not supported in
other libraries and isn't to the POSIX specification. The L modifier
is only used for floats in POSIX.
Replacing %Lu with %llu is the same for GNU libc (scanf(3) says as much)
but means other libraries will work fine.

that recently surfaced with the 'w' program. And while
that program was just a victim several inconsistencies
were found in the handling of library flags during the
research. This patch just address such irregularities.

Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the
procps library and didn't fit the standard naming scheme.
While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
to "lock in" x. The alternative is to use ns_* variables.
This work was needed before pgrep could be converted.
The patch below is where most proc_t fixed size arrays
became simple pointers to char. In that commit changes
to the above function were made so that dynamic memory
was freed which included the program name (cmd) field.
That change was prompted by a valgrind reported memory
leak during development that no longer seems to exist.
However, by keeping the look_up_our_self() changes the
ps command without args then fails to report anything.
So this patch just restores the expected old behavior.

It was probably always wrong to have a variable length
proc_t structure. This patch takes all remaining oomem
former suse only options and makes them unconditional.

A few minor changes are being made to position the old
readproc logic for a transition to the newlib pid api.
These changes will not impact current users beyond the
the need to recompile such code. Hopefully this should
be very last version change to the deprecated library.
. most char arrays were replaced via char * to dynamic
memory. this was done so that newlib could just assume
ownership of such strings without using a strdup call.
. former user and group name arrays also became char *
but here the reason was because pwcache already cached
those names. so, copying to an array never made sense.
. the concept of QUICK_THREADS used to avoid duplicate
overhead for string data was disabled. it could not be
integrated with the newlib design, at least initially.
. any #define which influenced the size of that proc_t
was disable in the header. it was probably a poor idea
to approach optional features in such a manner anyway.

This commit adds a lxc container name to every proc_t.
If a process is not running in a container, then a '-'
will be provided, making such a field always sortable.
Unlike other proc_t character pointers, lxc containers
will find many duplicate shared values. So rather than
strdup 'em (with a later free required upon reuse), we
try to keep track of those already seen and share that
address among all tasks running within each container.
We rely on the lines in the task's cgroup subdirectory
which may initially seem somewhat unsophisticated. But
the lxc library itself uses a similar approach when it
is called to list active containers. In that case, the
/proc/net/unix directory is parsed for the '/lxc' eye-
catcher, with potential complications from hashed path
and names that are too long (something we don't face).
[ too bad docker abandoned lxc - our commit won't do ]
[ anything for the users of those kind of containers ]

Under some circumstances the ksh shell doesn't fork new processes
when executing scripts and the script is interpreted by the
parent process. That makes the execution faster, but it means
ksh needs to reuse the /proc/PID/cmdline for the new script name
and arguments while the file length needs to stay untouched.
The fork is skipped only when the new cmdline is shorter than
the parent's cmdline and the rest of the file is filled
with '\0'. This is perfectly ok until we try to read the cmdline
of such process. As the read_unvectored() function replaces
all zeros with chosen separator, these trailing zeros are replaced
with spaces in case of the ps tool. Consequently it appends
multiple spaces at the end of the arguments string even when these
zeros do not represent any separators and therefore shouldn't
be replaced.
With this commit the read_unvectored() function skips the
replacement of trailing zeros and separates valid content only.

While 'invisible' thread subdirectories are accessible
under /proc/ with stat/opendir calls, they have always
been treated as non-existent, as is true with readdir.
This patch trades the /proc/#/ns access convention for
the more proper /proc/#/task/#/ns approach when thread
access is desired. In addition some namespace code has
been simplified and made slightly more efficient given
the calloc nature of proc_t acquisition and its reuse.

One recent patch to dynamic buffer management involved
over-allocating the buffer increase to lessen calls to
xrealloc. That was successful, but the actual increase
amount did not attempt to optimize size or alignments.
With this commit, we'll copy an approach recently used
by the top program and round up buffer sizes to 1 KiB.
More importantly, while buffers are quickly reaching a
KiB optimum multiple, no memcpy will ever be employed!
To illustrate just how effective top's algorithm would
be, just change the initial and subsequent allocations
from the current 1024 bytes to just a single byte then
add an fprintf. Those one byte reallocations while on
the way to optimum buffer size will be a one-time cost
and won't represent any recurring performance penalty.
( gosh, that top program *must be* one fart smeller, )
( or was that a smart feller, i can't remember which )
