This new integer based version of 'fieldscur' deviated
a bit too much from that character based logic when it
comes to ancient 3.2.8 rcfile support. This results in
an inappropriate extra field shown as the last column.
If we're truly dealing with 20 year old 3.2.8 rcfiles,
it's important the 3.3.9 extension (RCF_PLUS_H) not be
concatenated to what was read. That's because a search
for the special SUSE characters will always find a '\'
in the 26th position (after normal 3.2.8 'fieldscur').
[ for symmetry, we'll also avoid RCF_PLUS_J (3.3.17) ]
All other 'old' rcfiles are transformed without error.

This patch will restore the previously abandoned older
rcfile support. To be honest, I wasn't sure this would
be possible given the vast difference between formats.
But after some very intense hacking our newlib top can
again fully support seamless migration from some older
'char' based file to this new 'int' based file format.

With each of those references shown below, the maximum
number of fields was increased. However, with a 'char'
based implementation we're nearing the upper limits of
total displayable fields. We currently use 76 of a max
of 86 fields. With extra effort, 94 might be possible.
But 94 is the absolute upper limit of possible fields!
Moreover, the current implementation yields characters
that were unprintable in the rcfile. This could become
an issue with that 'inspect' feature when/if an rcfile
is edited to add entries (as opposed to using 'echo').
So, with this commit the internals of field management
has been completely reimagined. It is now based on the
integer type, not a character. And whereas that former
design used the high order bit to show the 'on' state,
thus yielding an unprintable character, the new design
uses the low order bit for the state. As such, numbers
will be kept small and an even number will be an 'off'
field whereas an odd number will become an 'on' state.
The bottom line is that this new design will afford an
unlimited number of new fields while keeping an rcfile
completely free of that potential unprintable garbage.
And it is embarrassingly easy to extend the maximum of
supportable fields from the currently implemented 100.
Who knows, maybe a future patch will prove this point.

That normalization of the 'scale_tics' function in the
prior commit convinced me that I won't please everyone
with my arbitrary choices for the scaling transitions.
So, this patch will provide the users with a means for
setting their own scaling transition points with a new
toggle. Ctrl-E was chosen since the 'e/E' toggles were
already present as a means of scaling (albeit memory).
[ this toggle will also serve an educational purpose ]

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
This patch refactors the 'scale_tics' function to more
closely parallel uptime shown on the first line of the
summary area. The old logic has been preserved through
the header file's new #define SCALE_FORMER provision.
However, the former logic was actually a big disaster.
These are some potential problems with that old logic:
1. With respect to our time fields top no longer deals
solely with cpu time. So, the old limits of '68 weeks'
could possibly be insufficient to reflect those times.
2. Given the widths of top's new time fields, the code
never got beyond scaling to hours. For example, with a
ridiculously large span of 19 years, the scaled result
would then be shown as '167832h'. We never reached the
days ('6993d') or even the weeks ('999w') equivalents.
3. Similarly, with that 'TIME+' field and a large tics
value, results would then appear as 'MMMMMM:SS' rather
than the more meaningful 'HH:MM:SS' or days and hours.
So henceforth we will adopt these scaling conventions:
MMM:SS.hh ... minutes:seconds.hundredths
MMM:SS ...... minutes:seconds
HH,MM ....... hours,minutes
D+H ......... days+hours (with 'd' & 'h' suffixes)
D ........... days (with 'd' suffix)
W+D ......... weeks+days (with 'w' & 'd' suffixes)
W ........... weeks (with 'w' suffix)
Note that, unlike our former scaling logic, that 'MMM'
portion won't be allowed to grow unconditionally. It's
limited (arbitrarily?) to 360 total minutes (6 hours).
Additionally, the 'HH' guy will be limited to 96 hours
(4 days) while that 'D' limit was set at 14 (2 weeks).
Whenever a limit is hit, scaling will advance a level.

Well, after climbing out of my box to do a little more

Just do not show what would change with every refresh!
If we do not show the seconds portion of a scaled tics
amount then the problem goes away. And this comes with
an additional benefit. The HH,MM (hours,minutes) style
then is readily compared with that system uptime shown
as HH:MM. The only difference is just the comma/colon.

A new 'STARTED' field was added which shows the time a

This is the field that will likely be questioned since

use TIME_ELAPSED, the value will change with every top

The new '%CUU' field will probably be better received.
It represents the cpu usage over the life of the task.

The separate threads for background updates were added
to top in the commit shown below. At that time cleanup
logic was added to end-of-job processing to cancel any
active threads and destroy any semaphores then in use.
That seemed like simple good stewardship with an added
benefit of avoiding potential valgrind 'possibly lost'
warnings for 320 byte blocks. Those blocks represented
an initial stack allocation for each of three threads.
All of that worked perfectly if such code was executed
under the main thread. In other words, if the keyboard
or a signal directed to any thread was used to trigger
program end. However, it might not always be the case.
Each of those 'refresh' routines supporting a separate
thread interacts with a newlib interface. As a result,
each is required to check the library's return result.
Should some error be detected, 'error_exit' is called.
Now we've got big problems with that eoj cleanup code.
One can't 'pthread_cancel' and 'pthread_join' a thread
from withing that same thread. Thus, when an error was
returned by the library with threads active, top would
hang with no possibility of removal short of a reboot.
So, this commit only executes that cancel/join cleanup
code when we are running under the main thread. Should
program end be triggered by a library error under some
sibling thread, all such cleanup will now be bypassed.
In the latter case, we will rely on documentation that
says any thread calling exit(3) will end every thread.
[ now, the only time we'll see any valgrind warnings ]
[ is with a library error, which is the least likely ]
[ scenario for running valgrind & top to begin with. ]

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
After the stage had been set in the previous patch, in
this patch we will actually implement those background
updates via 3 separate threads. The design was simple:
. the do-while loops have now been made truly infinite
. 2 semaphores per thread allow needed synchronization
. 1 semaphore will provide for each thread to sem_wait
. 1 semaphore will provide for display o/p to sem_wait
. and all 3 thread's program name was made descriptive
A complication was the potential for a signal directed
to one of our new threads. Rather than having a thread
try to deal with such signals, we pass a mask with all
signals blocked at pthread_create time. Thereafter any
subsequent signals are forwarded to the parent thread.
[ also sigprocmask was exchanged for pthread_sigmask ]
[ since warned about use "in multithreaded process". ]
[ plus we also modified each of those POSIX comments ]
[ about 2004 to agree with current signal-safety(7). ]
Sadly, after all this effort there were no performance
benefits to having separate threads. In fact there was
a measurable performance degradation when running with
ever smaller delay intervals. But even with a delay of
1/10 second the 'real' cost increase is only about 1%.
There is one way whereby any additional costs might be
eliminated (at least seemingly). One could introduce 2
separate sets of contexts for each of those 3 threads.
Then retrieval & display could be overlapped. However,
the resulting display wouldn't represent the real-time
results. Rather it would be stale by 1 delay interval.

Sometimes, it might be useful to isolate a parent task
and its forked children from other system activity. As
an example, a user might want to examine workload in a
specific lxc container. Or maybe there is some need to
question what's happening under the same tmux session.
Since forest view mode tends to be a relatively stable
display, it will sometimes satisfy the above need. But
that mode can't currently guarantee the target process
always remains as the topmost task or even is visible.
So, this patch will enable focusing on any parent task
and keeping it as the topmost process while displaying
it and its forked children only. It then appears as if
there is no other activity in that system by virtue of
the blank lines which follow that final child process.
To implement this new feature, top's redundant 'F' key
has been repurposed. It made little sense devoting two
keys to the Fields Management screen (especially since

In the patch referenced below, 2 potential abends were
fixed both of which involved 'alternate display mode'.
The root cause of those abends was a negative value in
the 'begnext' field for other than the current window.
And while that potential is fixed for now the existing
code almost invites such problems again in the future.
So, this patch will remove any temptation to name some
other window in the 'mkVIZrow1' macro. And, since that
macro is not the only source of 'begnext' changes, the
'mkVizrowX' is being added to identify such occasions.
[ and for symmetry i've added a 'mkVIZyes' macro and ]
[ ameliorated an otherwise surreptitious assignment! ]

This commit will address potential abends upon leaving
the windows help or color mapping screens and invoking
alternate display mode ('A'). It only happens if that
current window was changed with multiple 'a'/'w' keys.
So now, rather than leaving a trail of negative values
in the 'begtask' field, compliments of that win_select
function, we'll remove the mkVIZrow1 macro. Henceforth
it will be issued just once per user interaction. Thus
a promise of 'Curwin' only being impacted is restored.

My, how time flies. Here we are finally attending to a
2 year old issue at long last (well, at least top is).
In truth, this change was prompted by that more recent
issue #201 and simply represents my initial picks from
among those available with the new library provisions.
Note: we have to bump that rcfile version whenever new
fields are added. That will mean older top programs no
longer can read this top's rcfile. But that's Ok since
top offers a warning before replacing an older rcfile.
Doubtless, more smaps_rollup fields will be introduced
under top as we get more experience with this feature.
However, any such usage comes with tremendoud costs as
was reported for the previous patch and repeated here:
Here is a small preview of just what you will discover
when using this command line: time top/top -d0 -n1000.

This patch is ported from a merge request shown below,

------------------------------------------------------
top: In the bye_bye function, replace fputs with the write interface.
When top calls malloc, if a signal is received, it will
call sig_endpgm to process the signal. In the bye_bye function, if the
-b option is enable, the Batch variable is set, the fputs function
will calls malloc at the same time. The malloc function is not reentrant, so
it will cause the program to crash.

While experimenting with a new feature, wherein select

With the restoration of corrupt utf8 multibyte editing
to the library, it's important to establish the proper
locale before calling that 'fatal_proc_unmounted' guy.
He calls the original 'look_up_our_self' who, in turn,
will invoke 'stat2proc' which then calls 'escape_str'.
Once there, it's too late to effect changes to locale.
[ the result would be lots and lots of '?' displayed ]
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
When any process' command line contains multibyte utf8
characters, two separate display problems could arise.
1. If that COMMAND column is not displayed as the very
last field, then field(s) to the right are misaligned.
2. Even when last, should utf8 string length (not that
display length) exceed allowable screen width, it will
nonetheless suffer from improper premature truncation.
Number 1 is less of a concern since the cmdline column
is likely to always be the last field to be displayed,
if only to enable right and left scrolling provisions.
Number 2 is much more likely to occur, especially with
additional fields which might be shown before COMMAND.
Or, forest view child tasks can yield the same effect.
So, this commit will permit the correct utf8 multibyte
display regardless of field position or string length.
And, we'll bring top into line with the ps program for
additional fields potentially subject to utf8 display.

The Fieldstab uses the full pids_item enumerator names

This patch is an outgrowth of that commit shown below.
Many additional potential segmentation faults might be
encountered if interactive commands are opened up to a
user when a '-p' switch has a single non-existent pid.
[ always the 'k', 'L', 'r', 'Y' keys & maybe 'v' too ]
So, this patch will restrict such a loser (oops, user)
to a reduced subset of normal commands until he/she/it
quits then restarts top with something to be displayed
or issues the '=' command overriding that '-p' switch.

This ensures that a single '4' keystroke will reliably
toggle the new 2 abreast mode ON. Depending on whether
an older configuration file existed or whether top was
configured with '--disable-modern-top', keying the '4'
for a second time might otherwise have been necessary.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
An old PRETEND8CPUS #define was reintroduced & changed
to PRETEND48CPU to better exercise the new '4' and '!'
toggles. But, the implementation simply duplicated the
/proc/stat summary line for each cpu. Therefore, every
cpu showed the same graph/detail (depending upon 't').
This patch shows the actual individual cpu information
(duplicated, of course, when total cpus are exceeded).

This patch will address Craig's feedback regarding the
original implementation of top's two new toggles. It's
likely other users would have questioned why they were
not saved also, once they discover these new features.
And, since the minimum terminal width was just lowered
to 80 columns, the default for window #1 is also being
changed to show the individual cpu graphs two abreast.

I'm about to break older top rcfile compatibility when
preserving those two new toggles. And, though this has
happened several times over the years, we never issued
any warnings that such thing was just about to happen.
So, this patch corrects the long standing shortcoming.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
For the original implementation of the '4' toggle, the
minimum width was set at 165 columns. This was done to
avoid truncations when detailed cpu statistics (versus
graphs) were being displayed. Those can not be scaled.
Upon reflection, it seems more appropriate to give the
user the choice of whether or not to truncate. And, by
reducing that minimum width requirement to 80 columns,
we'll vastly expand potential use of two abreast mode.
[ we'll keep that original as '#define TOG4_NOTRUNC' ]
The patch also updates the man document appropriately.
Along the way, we will trade the potentially confusing
word 'adjacent' for the more natural 'additional' when
detailing the '!' toggle in 4b. Summary-Area-Commands.

This patch simply allows for better testing of our two
new toggles: '4' (2 abreast) plus '!' (combined cpus).
It had previously been dropped under the newlib branch

once again re-imagine then implement such a provision.

When implementing that earlier '4' toggle, in response
to the issue referenced below, I got to thinking about
those environments with massively parallel processors.
Such environments may not benefit from the '4' toggle.
So, I decided to implement a feature that could enable
use of those '1' and/or '4' toggles no matter how many
active processors top may have ultimately encountered.
With the new '!' toggle, adjacent cpus can be combined
to any degree, represented as a single cpu group/line.

In the back of my mind, I've always wanted to enable a

a justification for finally implementing this feature.

Several years after the 'e' & 'E' interactive commands
were introduce to affect memory scaling, an 'E' switch
was added. This was after discovering a dropped Redhat
patch which provided a unique 'M' command line switch.
If only for symmetry it makes sense to offer a similar
command switch ('e') for the Task Area memory scaling.
As was true with 'E', top's help text will show 'e' as
if it were a switch without arguments in order to keep
help text displayed without wrap in an 80x24 terminal.
The man page, however, will show all of the arguments.

The Debian bug referenced below has nothing to do with
locales. In fact, top was made locale independent back
in release 3.3.13 (April, 2018). However, that bug did
reveal some misplaced logic which this patch corrects.
Prompted by the Qualys audit, all rcfile field strings
were checked for potential duplicates which could only
have resulted from some user's manual/malicious edits.
Unfortunately, that code was executed before top had a
chance to enforce the proper/maximum string length (in
the event an extremely old rcfile had just been read).
This created some potential string overrun references.
In top's original 3.3.15 implementation, the potential
overrun extended for 15 characters. That is the number
of field characters added with 3.3.9 (December, 2013).
But, since strchr() was used, no error exit was taken.
In the revised 3.3.16 implementation, the strchr() was
replaced with '&w->rc.fieldscur[n]'. This held overrun
to a single position while producing an error message.
So, this commit just moves that logic to a point where
fieldscur is guaranteed to be longer than EU_MAXPFLGS.

This patch will eliminate a bug which is unique to our
newlib branch. It's extremely rare and only happens if
a search ('L'/'&') is initiated during the period when
fields are currently being auto-sized (AUTOX_MODE on).
This bug surfaces as either all zero results for tasks
displayed or a segmentation fault, depending upon what
fields were activated. It is caused by the timing of a
call to the <pids> 'reset' function. When called after
a task refresh, but before do_key(), this bug appears.
So this patch just ensures that 'reset' will be called
after do_key() & before the tasks have been refreshed.
