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 ]
[ support of more rational vertical scrolling, since ]
[ many more tasks might now be hidden in some window ]

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.

the root cause just once at startup in the next patch.

e531c78140 top: Do not default to the cwd in configs_r... Tweaked
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 ]
[ is simply to avoid pathname truncations should our ]
[ limit of 1024 be exceeded. they do not have a role ]
[ in solving the 'local privilege escalation' issue. ]

[ and we can never prevent a user from setting their ]
[ HOME var to a directory writable by some attacker! ]

[ the only real protection for that CVE-2018-1122 is ]
[ those soon to be enhanced rcfile integrity checks, ]
[ achieved through several of the following patches. ]

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.

- Make sure i is at least 1 before "i - 1" and "--i".

- Initialize endpflg (to 0, as it was originally, since it is static)
  before the "for" loop (the "break" may leave endpflg uninitialized,
  for example).

c424a64331 top: Prevent buffer overflow in calibrate_fields().
pflgsall[] can contain PFLAGSSIZ = 100 elements, each iteration of the
loop can write 3 elements to pflgsall[], and there are EU_MAXPFLGS = 58
iterations: a buffer overflow (it can be triggered via the configuration
file, for example, by filling "fieldscur" with the "sortindx" flag).
