2b82cbfc2a top: the '#define PRETEND2_5_X' was found to be broken
Our newlib branch has already dropped support for such
old kernels. However, the master branch still supports
them. So this patch will correct a broken #define that
is used to influence the top Summary Area information.

5e1c339bef top: speed up the collapsed children forest view logic
In forest view mode, once a collapsible parent process
and all of its children (if any) have been identified,
there is no longer a need to scan the remaining tasks.

So this patch will just force a new scan for any other
'Hide_pid' entries which might remain to be identified
after a targeted parent has been completely processed.

f635d8a369 top: existing 'Inspect' pipe feature now more flexible
Currently, it isn't possible to establish an 'Inspect'
pipe that relies on SIGINT to end. That's because this
signal will also end the parent process (top) as well.

So this patch will temporarily ignore that signal when
processing any 'Inspect' pipe, allowing one like this:

. pipe ^I Trace Calls ^I /usr/bin/strace -r -p %d 2>&1

4a44f9e3fa top: ensure collapsed children cpu reported accurately
Parent tasks with collapsed children should have their
cpu reflect any unseen tasks only under the following:

1) When built without TREE_VCPUOFF having been defined

2) Exclusively when 'Show_FOREST' display mode was set

3) And only under the current window when in alternate
display mode (except if TREE_VWINALL has been defined)

So, this commit just ensures these objectives are met.

8626141d8f top: '^V' is now 'v' (collapse/expand children toggle)
Using Ctrl-V for the collapse children key now appears
as a mistake. First, it's too close to that Ctrl-C key
which would prematurely terminate top. Second, a lower
case 'v' was unused and perfectly compliments an upper
case 'V' which is used to toggle 'forest view' itself.

3da7318683 top: parent total cpu includes collapsed children, pgm
Now, when a parent's children have been collapsed, the
cpu used by those unseen tasks will disappear no more.
Instead such tics will be added to the parent's total.

[ if one wished a return to the 'land of lost tics', ]
[ the '#define TREE_VCPUOFF' directive is available. ]

------------------------------------------------------
Note: With collapsible parents now displaying children
cpu usage, it will eventually be noticed the cpu stats
for the summary area and task areas often vary widely.

It's worth a reminder that for top's summary area each
individual cpu and the cpu summary is limited to 100%,
regardless of how many tics a linux kernel may export.

An individual task is limited to 100% times the number
of threads. But, in no case will cpu usage ever exceed
100% times total number of processors. Such limits are
further reduced under 'Solaris' mode ('I' toggle off).
In this mode, a task cpu usage will never exceed 100%.
These limits will now also apply to collapsed parents.

In addition to those influences, results are subjected
to kernel timer sampling anomalies and the distortions
inherent in a small sample size, made worse by smaller
delay intervals. Often there is just 1 or 2 tics for a
few tasks at smaller intervals such as: 1/10th second.

Anyway, should questions on this subject arise, a good
starting point, beyond the reminders above, is the 1st
link listed below. Those other links were derivatives.

c6e68e2fed top: a few tweaks for those scrolling (mostly) changes
This patch just addresses some edge cases with respect
to 'unseen' tasks. Given the ability to preserve other
filters in the rcfile, it's entirely possible the very
first task(s) may not be visible at top startup. Also,
when switching between windows ('a'/'w') we should try
to always position its row #1 on some visible process.

Lastly, a window might have *NO* visible tasks at all.
Therefore, protect 'window_hlp' from an infinite loop.

95df5a06f4 top: normalize vertical scrolling for hidden processes
To my knowledge, nobody has ever complained about some
anomalies when scrolling vertically if tasks should be
hidden from view. This can happen with the user filter
('u/U') or other filter ('o/O') features. And although
some tasks are not shown, they still impact scrolling.

This is most apparent when that scroll coordinates msg
is on ('C') & up/down arrow keys used (vs. pgup/pgdn).

Now that we can collapse/expand forked children, there
is a potential for yet more of those hidden processes.

So this commit normalizes vertical scrolling providing
an expected behavior. In other words, the up/down keys
skip the unseen tasks to reposition on a visible task.

14eb7275d9 top: allow collapsible forest view children, pgm logic
The issue cited below really dealt with preserving the
'Other filter' criteria in the rcfile. But as an aside
the htop 'F6' feature (collapsed children) was raised.

I took that as an implied challenge and decided to try
implementing a similar feature in top. So, this commit
will now provide a brand new forest view toggle ('^V')
which will be used to collapse/expand forked children.

[ this patch will also lead to additional patches in ]

This program does a good job of policing that vertical
scrolled position, ensuring that total tasks are never

to normal task mode (the 'H' toggle) that wasn't true.

And while there was no real harm done, it did make the
use of up/down arrow keys "appear" disabled especially
if that scroll message was not displayed ('C' toggle).

This patch simply forces a return to row #1 whenever a
user toggles that display between thread & task modes.

cf057d2fe5 top: provide the means to exploit a 256-color terminal
With the Qualys security audit, we began to harden our
treatment of the top rcfile. In particular, the values
read were checked so as to prevent some malicious user
from editing it in order to achieve an evil objective.

However when it came to colors I was surprised to find
that at least one user edited the rcfile for 256-color
support. Unfortunately, our new checks prevented this.

So this commit will provide the means to exploit those
extra colors with no need to manually edit the rcfile.

point #2 is based on a wrong assumption. There will be
no binary data ever found in the 'glob' passed to this
show_special() function. It is now always simple text.

------------------------------------------------ original commit message
This patch fixes two problems:

1/ In the switch case 0, if sub_end is at the very end of lin[], the two
null-byte writes are off-by-two (a stack-based buffer overflow). Replace
this end-of-string "emulation" with an equivalent test on ch (and then
goto/break out of the loop).

2/ "sub_end += 2" jumps over the null-byte terminator in lin[] if the
line contains a raw (without a tilde) \001-\010 character. Detect such a
null-byte terminator and goto/break out of the loop.

Note: in the case of a raw \001-\010 character, the character at
"sub_end + 1" is never processed (it is skipped/jumped over); this is
not a security problem anymore (since 2/ was fixed), so we decided not
to change this behavior, for backward-compatibility.

While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and
an occasional email I've tried to maintain some coding
standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.

Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them
but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit:

. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section
. all functions & sections must be referenced in top.h

This patch just attempts to honor the above standards,
while also covering this new behavior in the man page.

[ please note that the net result of these 2 patches ]

[ limit of 1024 be exceeded. they do not have a role ]
[ in solving the 'local privilege escalation' issue. ]

059ae8b512 top: Prevent out-of-bounds writes in PUFF().
This patch prevents three problems:

1/ Because snprintf() returns "the number of characters (excluding the
terminating null byte) which would have been written to the final string
if enough space had been available", _eol may point past the end of _str
and write out-of-bounds (in Batch mode).

2/ _eol is never checked against _str, so "while (*(--_eol) == ' ');"
may point _eol below _str and write out-of-bounds (in Batch mode).

3/ Sanity-check Pseudo_row to protect the strcpy().

ed8f6d9cc6 top: Fix out-of-bounds read/write in show_special().
This patch fixes two problems:

1/ In the switch case 0, if sub_end is at the very end of lin[], the two
null-byte writes are off-by-two (a stack-based buffer overflow). Replace
this end-of-string "emulation" with an equivalent test on ch (and then
goto/break out of the loop).

2/ "sub_end += 2" jumps over the null-byte terminator in lin[] if the
line contains a raw (without a tilde) \001-\010 character. Detect such a
null-byte terminator and goto/break out of the loop.

Note: in the case of a raw \001-\010 character, the character at
"sub_end + 1" is never processed (it is skipped/jumped over); this is
not a security problem anymore (since 2/ was fixed), so we decided not
to change this behavior, for backward-compatibility.

If the HOME environment variable is not set, or not absolute, use the

To keep the changes to a minimum, we rely on POSIX, which requires that
fopen() fails with ENOENT if the pathname (Rc_name) is an empty string.
This integrates well into the existing code, and makes write_rcfile()
work without a change.

Also, it makes the code in configs_read() easier to follow: only set and
use p_home if safe, and only set Rc_name if safe (in all the other cases
it is the empty string, and the fopen() calls fail). Plus, check for
snprintf() truncation (and if it happens, reset Rc_name to the empty

f3f90ab93c top: allow translated field headers to determine width
After wrestling with extra wide characters, supporting
languages like zh_CN, sometimes default/minimum column
widths might force a truncation of translated headers.

So, this commit explores one way that such truncations

impact on existing code, ultimately affecting just one
function. But it's off by default via its own #define.

3b53aba319 top: an efficiency tweak to extra wide character logic
When I recently added extra wide character support for
locales like zh_CN, I didn't worry about some overhead
associated with the new calls to 'mbtowc' & 'wcwidth'.
That's because such overhead was usually incurred with
user interactions, not a normal iterative top display.

There was, however, one area where this overhead would
impact the normal iterative top mode - that's with the
Summary display. So I peeked at the glibc source code.

As it turns out, the costs of executing those 'mbtowc'
and 'wcwidth' functions were not at all insignificant.
So, this patch will avoid them in the vast majority of
instances, while still enabling extra wide characters.

b4bce3b8fa top: adapt utf8 logic to support extra wide characters
Back when top was refactored to support UTF-8 encoding
it was acknowledged that languages like zh_CN were not
supported. That was because a single 'character' might
require more than a single 'column' when it's printed.

Well I've now figured out how to accommodate languages
like that. My adaptation is represented in this patch.

[ runtime costs, a #define OFF_XTRAWIDE is included. ]

Along the way, I've cleaned up some miscellaneous code
supporting the 'Inspect' feature so that the rightmost
screen column was always used rather than being blank.

dfa118b4d5 top: tweak that recent enhancement to startup defaults
When the new approach for startup defaults was adopted
in the reference below, a file might be left open that
technically should be closed. This situation arises in
the unlikely event the #define RCFILE_NOERR is active.

Without that #define, the program will exit early thus
rendering the open file issue moot. However, even with
that #define there was no real harm with an open file.
It simply meant a 2nd FILE struct would have been used
when, or if, the rcfile was written via a 'W' command.

Anyway, this patch ensures such a file will be closed.

3e6a208ae5 top: allow more flexible approach for startup defaults
Those references below offer more detail regarding the
default startup changes beginning with version 3.3.10.

It is important to remember that all such changes were
supposed to impact only new users or users who had not
saved the personal config file (via that 'W' command).
However, I introduced a bug wherein the rcfile was not
fully honored. This gave the changes a bad reputation.

That bug was corrected in release 3.3.11 but the issue
of default startup options keeps resurfacing. And it's
clear there's no consensus on what should be included.

Our --disable-modern-top configure option is of little
help since it remains an all-or-nothing approach. What
we need is an answer offering unlimited customization.
So, this commit will provide distribution packagers or
system administrators with a much more flexible way to
set their own preferred startup default configuration.

A new rcfile is being introduced: '/etc/topdefaultrc',
whose format/content is the same as a personal rcfile.
Thus once a 'proper' enterprise configuration has been
established and saved via 'W', it can be copied to the
/etc/ directory. Thereafter, startup in the absence of
a saved rcfile will use that configuration as default.

Now if a distribution packager or system administrator
wishes to expose their users to some of top's advanced
capabilities they can do so gradually. Perhaps setting
up graph mode for summary area task and memory display
while retaining the %CPU sort could be tried. Or maybe
showing colors, but better customized for a particular
terminal emulator. Such possibilities are now endless.

[ in exploiting this new capability, i hope that the ]
[ other windows (alt display mode) aren't overlooked ]

18e5aecd2b top: exploit msg handler override to avoid corrupt tty
Way back in November of 2011, the library was equipped
with an overridable error message handler function. It
was done expressly for a program like top which alters
the tty. But that support was withdrawn shortly after.

This was all done in the lead up to v3.3.2. That's the
release where NLS support was added and it represented
a hectic time. In hindsight, the changes went too far.

So this commit, in a minimal fashion, restores ability
to address a potential fatal library error. After all,
any properly behaving library would never unilaterally
subject a caller to a stderr message and then an exit.

1ba0e999c6 top: eliminate that potential vulnerability for TOCTOU
Initially, I was going to ignore that coverity warning
CID #177876. But, since top may be running SETUID it's
best if it can be avoided instead. The fix was simple.

We'll trade the access() call for a real fopen() call.
This time-of-check-time-of-use warning should go away.
------------------------------------------------------

When XDG support was originally introduced in top, the
author made a poor choice in access(). A real question
that needed asking was 'does the file exist'. However,
the question that was asked was 'can this real user ID
or this real group ID access the file'. Then, when the
fopen() is finally issued, top would use the effective
user ID or the effective group ID to access that file.

That's what opened the potential TOCTOU vulnerability,
which was important only if top was running SUID/SGID.

f6ee2c0085 top: correct an insidious occasional truncation buglet
With the help of our Swedish translator, hopefully the
final buglet has now been vanquished in the multi-byte
translation support. This one was a real nasty bugger.

Although it didn't occur with every terminal emulator,
occasionally random text lines were being chopped off.

As it turns out, those terminals were blameless. There
were two separate places in top's show_special routine
where potential multi-byte sequences were inadequately
addressed. Solution: exploit existing utf-8 functions.

[ it also became apparent that the translation hints ]
[ in the top_nls module were deficient. so a special ]
[ caution was added regarding the final line of txt. ]

d5a9965cde top: plug a small potential hole in multi-byte support
Unlike the insp_mkrow_raw function the insp_mkrow_utf8
routine is not equipped to print non-ctl, non-printing
characters like '<7f>'. However, technically that very
value currently slips through the cracks. So with this
patch top will now print a space in the unlikely event
a character with the value of 127 is ever encountered.
