d37f85c269 top: avoid a potential SEGV during program termination
The backtrace shown in the bug report referenced below
illustrates a 'normal' program termination interrupted
with some signal, ultimately then causing a top crash.

So this commit just rearranges a little code such that
all signals will be blocked during that rather lengthy
end of program processing regardless of how initiated.

[ in that report, ignore the assertion regarding the ]
[ '-n' option. it obviously was not '1' since do_key ]
[ had been called, which otherwise wouldn't be true. ]

[ and when it is '1' the -d option would be ignored. ]

dd95e865de top: tweak logic associated with keyboard translations
This commit most significant change is the elimination
of the kbd_ENTER entry from that tinfo_tab in iokey().

That entry was a useless artifact left from the commit
which is shown below. It makes no sense to 'translate'
a keystroke into something it already was (i.e. '\n').

The remaining changes just reorder those table entries
for a progression consistent with vim keys: h,j,k & l.

e7aa90a866 top: attempt to provide missing xterm vim keys support
A recent issue (and merge request) reminded me of gaps
in top's alternate 'vim' navigation keys support. Some
xterm emulators do not pass the customary strings when
keys were used with the <Ctrl> and/or <Alt> modifiers.

While it was a known problem, this issue/merge request
prompted research into the root cause. As it turns out
the problem is traceable to an X resource known by the
name 'eightBitInput'. When 'true' (the default), a key
pressed in combination with <Alt> will not be preceded
by the <Esc> character. Rather, a single character was
presented (modified via an 'eightBitMeta' X resource).

The following approaches would eliminate this problem:

. start xterm thus: xterm -xrm '*eightBitInput: false'

. use: ~/.Xresources with 'Xterm*eightBitInput: false'

. build xterm with 'configure --enable-meta-sends-esc'
( apparently used for CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, etc. )

. enable xterm's menu via 'configure --enable-toolbar'
( so the user can set the 'Meta Sends Escape' option )

Of course, none of the above steps is desirable from a
user's perspective. So, this patch will add additional
entries to the iokey function's tinfo_tab to represent
strings passed when the <Alt> key does not send <Esc>.

[ hopefully they'll be the same across all platforms ]

Lastly, this patch will also eliminate those redundant
<Atl> + '\', '/', '<' & '>' provisions, which now seem
like overkill and suffer from that same 'eightBitMeta'
xterm problem. And we might as well say goodbye to the
4 '<Alt> + arrow key' table entries (which do not seem
to currently work with any emulator which I can find).

[ what in the world was I thinking way back in 2011? ]

2e7f38707a library: tweak that lxc container support a final time
Since the patch referenced below traded a compile-time
'sizeof' directive for a run-time 'strlen' call, there
is no need to declare lxc patterns as explicit arrays.

We'll also use the actual lxc patterns by omitting the
beginning slashes ('/') for both of those definitions.

And, looking to the future when most/all lxc users are
using the most recent lxc release, we will make things
slightly more efficient by reversing those two pattern
literals so the most recent pattern was checked first.

Of course, such a change only benefits tasks which are
running in a container. For the majority of processes,
both literals will be compared in that 'if' statement,
assuming the 'LXC' field is currently being displayed.

[ plus, a leftover parenthesis pair has been removed ]

da82fe49b1 sysctl: do not report set key in case close_stream fails
As we're using buffered I/O when writing kernel parameters, write errors
may get delayed until we close the `FILE` stream. As we are currently
outputting the key that is to be set disregarding the return value of
`close_stream`, we may end up in a situation where we report error and
success:

    $ sysctl kernel.printk_ratelimit=100000000000000
    sysctl: setting key "kernel.printk_ratelimit": error code 22
    kernel.printk_ratelimit = 100000000000000

Fix the issue by only outputting the updated value in case
`close_stream` does not report an error.

3eb4b5375f procio: fix potential out-of-bounds access when write fails
When writing to procfs via `proc_write` fails, we try to chunk the
buffer into smaller pieces to work around that issue. When searching for
the next location to split the buffer, though, we can underflow the
buffer in case the current offset is smaller than `LINELEN`. Fix the
issue by passing `cookie->offset` instead of `LINELEN` into `memrchr` in
case `cookie->offset` is smaller than `LINELEN`.

This bug can be triggered on musl-based systems, e.g. by executing

    $ sysctl kernel.printk_ratelimit=1000000000000000

As the value is out-of-range, `write` will return an error and set
`errno` to `EINVAL`. As we're only trying to write a smallish buffer
with a length smaller than `LINELEN` and as the buffer does not contain
any newlines, the call

    token = (char*)memrchr(cookie->buf+offset, '\n', LINELEN);

will underflow the buffer and crash the program.

32720b2ee6 procio: use the user-supplied delimiter to split large input
The `fprocopen` function allows users to specify a delimiter chacter
that is used to split very large input lines into smaller chunks. While
the code checks that the caller did actually supply the delimiter, it is
in fact never used to split the string. Instead, the hardcoded default
character ',' is always used to split the string.

Fix the issue by using `cookie->delim` instead.

893793a8c4 top: improve logic surrounding 'smp_num_cpus' variable
I thank Guido Jäkel for raising the issue cited in the
merge request referenced below. While restoring 1 line
of code would produce the desired results, it does not
address the root cause of that problem he experienced.

The variable 'smp_num_cpus' was set by libprocps via a
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) call. It was supposed to
represent total number of processors currently online.
It also served as the position in the Cpu_tics[] array
where the /proc/stat line #1 (cpu summary) was stored.

The variable 'Cpu_faux_tot' was valued by top based on
total individual cpus parsed from the /proc/stat file.
It serves as a fence post for Cpu_tics[] array access.

The problem Guido experienced results from a disparity
between those 2 variables, plus one instance where the
wrong variable was used in the summary_show() routine.

. Here is the real culprit, the actual incorrect code:
. summary_hlp(&Cpu_tics[Cpu_faux_tot], N_txt(WORD_a...

Which always should have been represented in this way:
. summary_hlp(&Cpu_tics[smp_num_cpus], N_txt(WORD_a...

------------------------------------------------------
The above 'disparity' might arise in any system when a
cpu is taken offline since there's a 3 second delay in
cpu and memory refreshes in an effort to reduce costs.
Usually this particular condition will be short lived.

However, there is a more persistent problem under lxc.

If a host cpu is taken offline and then brought online
again, within the container sysconf returns the proper
number of online processors. But, /proc/stat does not!
Sadly, I've yet to find a way to coax a container into
refreshing its /proc/stat, short of reboting the host.

[ might that represent a potential bug in lxc logic? ]

f67127e728 library: adapt readproc for the latest lxc conventions

total pids high water mark was probably safe, in truth
there is no real relationship. At some point one could

664d2517da top: plug a minor hole in the vertical scrolling logic
In that commit referenced below, a few edge cases were
addressed regarding vertical positioning involving any
'hidden' tasks. But, 2 additional edge cases remained.

In a running top, if the user employed 'other filters'
(o/O) or 'user filters' (u/U) proper vertical position
was not ensured. And, while this could be easily fixed
by striking the home/end or up/down arrow keys, it was
very poor etiquette to shift this burden to the users.

So, this patch plugs that gap, automating the process.

b3b7a35050 top: a tweak to the forest view collapsed code (again)
From the outset, top has tried to provide some minimal
garbage collection in support of forest view collapse.
For example, with every 'v' keystroke, a check is made
of the currently targeted pids.  If all were negative,
which means expanded, that Hide_pid array was emptied.

Recently, yet another efficiency was added wherein the
continuing scan for a targeted pid was terminated when
a match was found. But, one more inefficiency existed.

When a task which was subject to collapse under forest
view mode has disappeared (ended), repeatedly scanning
for such a pid with each iteration makes little sense.

So this commit will negate such targeted pids and thus
avoid scanning every current task looking for a match.
Then, if 'v' is ever stuck at some point in the future
there will be a chance to empty that Hide_pid[] array.

[ hopefully this will be a final tweak of the forest ]
[ view collapse stuff, but cross your fingers anyway ]

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.

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.

57f0ff367c top: to prepare for collapse, move forest view support
In anticipation of a new collapsible child feature, we
will have to make some forest view variables available
to that 'keys_task()' function. This commit just moves
the forest view logic ahead of tertiary input support.

a6f86732f2 top: 'other filters' saved with config file, pgm logic
Well, after the rearranging and refactoring, all those
active 'other filter' entries for each window will now
be preserved in the user's configuration file via 'W'.

For raising the issue below, thanks to Marco Ippolito.

993d22211f top: refactored some more peripheral 'inspect' support
These modifications are being made now in anticipation
of some coming 'other filter' config file changes. Our
entries must be written last to the rc file since that
is where the users have been told to 'echo' additions.

Therefore, that 'config_insp' function must be adapted
to anticipate a passed buffer that was already primed.

80057ec06f top: refactored some of that 'other filtering' support
If we are to support preserving 'other filter' entries
in the rcfile, then the current logic setting up those
osel entries for a WIN_t must be shareable for startup
and when interacting with a user. So, this commit just
repositions this current code in a shareable function.

[ along the way, we give the prior guy a proper name ]
