In the commit referenced below, a '__thread' attribute
was added to numerous static variables to protect them
from concurrent access conflicts with multi-threading.
Unfortunately, that patch did not go quite far enough.
So, this commit adds a few more '__thread' qualifiers.

Even though we we had to abandon the master branch top
multi-thread effort and even though the newlib version
of a multi-threaded top provides no real benefit, that
whole exercise was not wasted. Rather, it has revealed
some deficiencies in our library which this addresses.
If two or more threads in the same address space tried
to access the same api simultaneously, there is a good
chance some function-local static variables will yield
some of those renowned unpredictable results. So, this
patch protects them with the '__thread' storage class.

Ever since 2003, the 'listed_nextpid' routine has been
misrepresenting its duties. Far from finding processes
in a list given to openproc, it just inserted the next
pid in that list into the passed proc_t as BOTH a tgid
and tid. There was no attempt to validate such values.
The net result is that tid & tgid were valid only with
a thread group leader. When called with a pid for some
sibling thread, the resulting tgid would be incorrect.
With this commit, our little function will now attempt
to validate both the tid and tgid. If this should fail
then the fallback position will be the same as what we
inherited. So we're no worse off & likely much better.
[ note that calling the function with a thread's pid ]

The patch referenced below corrected some flaws in the
procps_pids_select implementation. But, there remained
one flaw which this commit will now hopefully address.
Rather than assume callers wished to select only tasks
and not threads meant a command like 'top -H -p 10329'
works differently under newlib than release 3.3.17. It
fails to honor the '-H' (threads) switch under newlib.
So, to fix that oops, we'll allow that select function
to get threads or tasks depending on its 'which' parm.

With that recent addition of the autogroup provisions,

its basic '/proc/<pid>' directory will always be used.

In the link referenced below there's an explanation of
the linux autogroup feature which has been around ever
since linux-2.6.38. With that explanation there's also
surprising (maybe shocking) revelations about the nice
and renice commands if CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP was set.
When autogroups are active, such programs are rendered
mostly useless because the nice value will only affect
scheduling priority relative to other processes in the
same autogroup. In order to accomplish what we thought
of as renice, that nice value in /proc/<pid>/autogroup
must be changed. Altering any single member of a group
will also affect every other member of that autogroup.
So, this commit will set the stage for users of newlib
to display autogroup identifiers plus their associated
nice values (now that their importance is understood).

A couple of people have suggested that smaps_rollup be
added to the ps program and/or top program. This patch
is intended to set the stage for just such extensions.
There are currently 20 displayable items in the rollup
file. And newlib sometimes uses sscanf when populating
the target, sometimes hsearch and one customized gperf
approach. None of these fit well with the smaps items.
Thus, an approach using a simple table lookup was used
and, by disabling 1 code line, it could be made immune
from changes to the items order (unlike a sscanf call)
and doesn't carry the greater cost of a hsearch/gperf.
Note: The next patch will allow top to display some of
these new fields. Then, it'll be possible to determine
the colossal costs of accessing the smaps_rollup file.
Here is a small preview of just what you will discover
when using the command 'time top/top -d0 -n1000' while

This is a modification of MR !122 by @renit1609 to fit the new
library.
Problem statement:
The procps library has no PROC_FILLIO flag to
fetch the proc field "/proc/[pid]/io" data
process-wise.
IO Accounting is not included as part of procps.
Requirement:
We have a requirement to fetch process wise
IO utilization which can be used for monitoring.
When looking through the procps library, I see
that IO Accounting (/proc/[pid]/io) is not being
included as part of procps. There is no such
flag like PROC_FILLIO being included in readproc.h .
Solution:
While looking at the implementation done for
other proc fields, I used the spare bits in app code.
I renamed PROC_SPARE_1 as PROC_FILLIO, the spare bit from
PROC_SPARE_* and used it for fetching /proc/[pid]/io
data as part of the procps library similar to other
fields. I moved the PROC_SPARE_* bits each by 1 bit
to retain the spare bits. Meanwhile added the IO fields
in proc_t structure.
References:

This commit just ensures that the relatively expensive
ID to name conversions aren't performed unless they're
explicitly requested. It also internalizes those flags
that required the PROC_FILLSTATUS flag to also be set.

Much of what was represented in the commit message for
the reference shown below was revisited in this patch.
It also means that the assertion in the last paragraph
of that message will only now be true with LANG unset.
[ and forget all the bullshit about not altering any ]
[ kernel supplied data. sometimes we must to avoid a ]
[ corrupt display due to a string we can not decode. ]
And while this commit still avoids the overhead of the
'mbrtowc', 'wcwidth' 'isprint, & 'iswprint' functions,
we achieve all the benefits with simple table lookups.
Plus such benefits are extended to additional strings.
For example, both PIDS_EXE and PIDS_CMD fields are now
also subject to being 'escaped'. If a program name did
contain multibyte characters, potential truncation may
corrupt it when it's squeezed into a 15/63 byte array.
Now, all future users of this new library only need to
deal with the disparities between string and printable
lengths. Such strings themselves are always printable.
[ the ps program now contains some unnecessary costs ]
[ with the duplicated former 'escape' functions. But ]
[ we retain that copied escape.c code for posterity. ]
[ besides, in a one-shot guy it's of little concern. ]
Note: Proper display of some multibyte strings was not
possible at the linux console. It would seem a concept
of zero length chars (like a 'combining acute accent')
is not recognized. Thus the display becomes corrupted.
But if utf8 decoding is disabled (via LANG=), then all
callers will now see '?', restoring correct alignment.

This new library provides callers with pure strings or
string vectors. It is up to those callers to deal with
potential utf8 multibyte characters and any difference
between strlen and the corresponding printable widths.
So, it makes no sense for the library to go to all the
trouble of invoking those rather expensive 'mbrtowc' &
'wcwidth' functions to ultimately yield total 'cells'.
Thus, this patch will eliminate all the code and parms
that are involved with such possible multibyte issues.
[ Along the way we'll lose the ability to substitute ]
[ '?' for an invalid/unprintable multibyte sequence. ]
[ We will, however, replace ctrl chars with the '?'. ]
[ This presents no problem for that ps program since ]
[ it now duplicates all of the original escape code. ]
[ And, we'll no longer be executing that code twice! ]
[ As for the top program, it takes the position that ]
[ it is wrong to alter kernel supplied data. So with ]
[ potential invalid/unprintable stuff, he'll rely on ]
[ terminal emulators to properly handle such issues! ]
[ Besides, even using a proper multibyte string, not ]
[ all terminals generate the proper printable width. ]
[ This is especially true when it comes to an emoji. ]
[ And should callers chose not to be portable to all ]
[ locales by calling setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), they can ]
[ expect to see lots of "?", regardless of what this ]

Under newlib, the only caller of the readproc routines

calloc() for a possible NULL pointer which was present
in both of those readproc() and readeither() routines.
Additionally, that pids module takes ownership of most

literals so the most recent pattern was checked first.
Of course, such a change only benefits tasks which are

Following that patch referenced below, the top SUPGRPS

some faulty logic in the status2proc() routine dealing

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:'

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).

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/ 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.

This function is unused (SIGNAL_STRING is defined by default, and if it
is not, procps does not compile -- for example, there is no "outbuf" in
help_pr_sig()) but fix it anyway. There are two bugs:
- it accepts non-hexadecimal characters (anything >= 0x30);
- "(c - (c>0x57) ? 0x57 : 0x30)" is always equal to 0x57.

This removes the following error by stating the task ID can only be 10
characters wide, as it is an integer.
proc/readproc.c: In function ‘simple_nexttid’:

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.
