Form its inception (back in May of 2011), escaped_copy
has always been a flawed function. It does not operate
on 'escaped' strings but instead treats all input as a
regular string incapable of containing utf8 sequences.
As such, it should only be used for strings guaranteed
to NOT embody multibyte characters (like SUPGIDS). For
all other strings, which could contain utf8 stuff, the
correct function should have been that escape_str guy.
So this commit changes nearly every escaped_copy call.

With glibc, each time the strftime() function is used (twice per process
in a typical ps -fe run), a stat("/etc/localtime") system call is used
to determine the timezone. Not only does this add extra system call
overhead, but when multiple ps processes are trying to access this
file (or multiple glibc programs using strftime) in parallel, this can
trigger significant lock contention within the OS kernel.
Since ps is not intended to run for long periods of time as a
daemon (during which the system timezone could be altered and PS might
reasonably be expected to adapt its output), there is no benefit to
repeatedly doing this stat(). To stop this behavior, explicitly set the
TZ variable to its default value (:/etc/localtime) whenever it is unset.
glibc will then cache the stat() result.
The referenced commit the comm length was increased from 16 to 64
characters to handle the larger command names for things like kernel
threads.
However most user processes are limited to 15 characters which means
if you try something like ps -C myprogramisbiggerthansixteen this would
fail to match because /proc/<PID>/comm would only be myprogramisbigg
ps now checks the comm length and if it is 15 and if the given match
is 15 or more, it will only match the first 15 characters.
This is also how killall has worked for about a year.

In that commit referenced below, a promise was made to
revisit an 'escape_str' function in efforts to make it
private to the library. The problem was it's needed by
both ps plus the library which is why it was exported.
So, in an effort to remove it from libprocps.sym, this
patch duplicates all the required code in ps/output.c.
Now, each version can be made private to their caller.

There was a time when that procps.h file served a more
traditional role. Prior to the commit referenced below
it held just macros plus manifest constants. But, with
that change, such items were replaced with a series of
includes embracing all the library exported functions.
That approach was known to disguise errors which would
have otherwise yielded a compiler warning. And without
such a warning, there was no way to address the error.
So this patch will trade the all inclusive header file
approach for individual includes only where necessary.

Previous versions of ps used to only match on the first 15 characters
because that's what the kernel used to provide. Newer kernels have a
longer length for this field so procps has been updated to suit.

To avoid an out-of-bounds access at checkoff[tmp]. The strspn() at the
beginning of the function protects against it already, but double-check
this in case of some future change.
Right now, "we _exit() anyway" is not always true: for example, the
default action for SIGURG is to ignore the signal, which means that
"kill(getpid(), signo);" does not terminate the process. Call _exit()
explicitly, in this case (rather than exit(), because the terminating
kill() calls do not call the functions registered with atexit() either).
Before "strlen(outbuf)", if one of the pr_*() functions forgot to do it.
This prevents an out-of-bounds read in strlen(), and an out-of-bounds
write in "outbuf[sz] = '\n'". Another solution would be to replace
strlen() with strnlen(), but this is not used anywhere else in the
code-base and may not exist in all libc's.

pr_bsdstart(): Replace "strcpy(outbuf," with "snprintf(outbuf, COLWID,"
(which is used in all surrounding functions). (side note: the fact that
many pr_*() functions simply return "snprintf(outbuf, COLWID," justifies
the "amount" checks added to show_one_proc() by the "ps/output.c:
Replace strcpy() with snprintf() in show_one_proc()." patch)
pr_stime(): Check the return value of strftime() (in case of an error,
"the contents of the array are undefined").
help_pr_sig(): Handle the "len < 8" case, otherwise "sig+len-8" may
point outside the sig string.
pr_context(): Handle the empty string case, or else "outbuf[len-1]"
points outside outbuf.

Enforce a maximum max_rightward of OUTBUF_SIZE-1, because it is used in
constructs such as "snprintf(outbuf, max_rightward+1," (we could remove
the extra check at the beginning of forest_helper() now, but we decided
to leave it, as a precaution and reminder).
The minimum max_rightward check is not strictly needed, because it is
unsigned. However, we decided to add it anyway:
- most of the other variables are signed;
- make it visually clear that this case is properly handled;
- ideally, the minimum max_rightward should be 1, not 0 (to prevent
integer overflows such as "max_rightward-1"), but this might change
the behavior/output of ps, so we decided against it, for now.
Instead, we fixed the only function that overflows if max_rightward is
0. Also, enforce the same safe range for max_leftward, although it is
never used throughout the code-base.

This patch solves several problems:
1/ Limit the number of characters written (to outbuf) to OUTBUF_SIZE-1
(-1 for the null-terminator).
2/ Always null-terminate outbuf at q.
3/ Move the "rightward" checks *before* the strcpy() calls.
4/ Avoid an integer overflow in these checks (e.g., rightward-4).
May happen if strlen(src) > INT_MAX for example. This patch prevents
escaped_copy() from increasing maxroom and returning -1 (= number of
bytes consumed in dst).

(although we found no problematic calls to the escape*() functions in
procps's code-base, but had to thoroughly review every call; and this is
library code):
1/ off-by-one overflows if the size of the destination buffer is 0;
2/ buffer overflows if this size (or "maxroom") is negative;
3/ integer overflows (for example, "*maxcells+1");
4/ always null-terminate the destination buffer (unless its size is 0).

Under newlib design, ps must loop though all potential
print functions so as to gather the appropriate enum's
while establishing the 'relative' equivalent. The keys
to the setREL/chkREL macros are a NULL 'outbuf' param.
It's imperative that no other functions be called with
that NULL value. Unfortunately, several instances were
found where this was violated. They are now corrected!

The ps program generally supports multi-byte sequences
in strings representing user and group names. However,
should a multi-byte sequence span the maximum width of
a column, the '+' inserted by ps to signify truncation
will corrupt that sequence, misaligning the text line.
Unfortunately, there's insufficient info returned from
the escape_str function (who calls escape_str_utf8) to
provide a robust response. So, this commit will revert
to the old standby of displaying a number when the '+'
character would've corrupted that multi-byte sequence.

No longer will ps print nwchan as 'ffffff', '-' or '1'
since the proc/PID/stat wchan field didn't represent a
real address anyway. Rather, the field will henceforth
output a dash ('-'), the ps customary 'not available'.
That man document was also tweaked to better represent
actual behavior. An asterisk ('*') was never shown for
threaded tasks and that dash ('-') usually didn't mean
running tasks (sometimes associated with permissions).
