7c92bff183 0097-top: Do not default to the cwd in configs_read().
If the HOME environment variable is not set, or not absolute, use the
home directory returned by getpwuid(getuid()), if set and absolute
(instead of the cwd "."); otherwise, set p_home to NULL.

To keep the changes to a minimum, we rely on POSIX, which requires that
fopen() fails with ENOENT if the pathname (Rc_name) is an empty string.
This integrates well into the existing code, and makes write_rcfile()
work without a change.

Also, it makes the code in configs_read() easier to follow: only set and
use p_home if safe, and only set Rc_name if safe (in all the other cases
it is the empty string, and the fopen() calls fail). Plus, check for
snprintf() truncation (and if it happens, reset Rc_name to the empty
string).

Important note: top.1 should probably be updated, since it mentions the
fallback to the current working directory.

48d118b81b 0084-proc/readproc.c: Work around a design flaw in readeither().
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).

b9a9fd4c74 0082-proc/readproc.c: Fix double-free()s in readtask().
If QUICK_THREADS is not defined (it is not by default, but most
distributions enable it) and task_dir_missing is true (only on very old
kernels), then readtask() forgets to reset some of the struct proc_t t's
members, which later results in double-free()s in free_acquired().

For now, we simply synchronized the list of members to be reset with the
list of members freed in free_acquired().

86d3d37406 0074-proc/readproc.c: Fix bugs and overflows in file2strvec().
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).

0bc48f7af7 0073-proc/readproc.c: Harden file2str().
1/ Replace sprintf() with snprintf() (and check for truncation).

2/ Prevent an integer overflow of ub->siz. The "tot_read--" is needed to
avoid an off-by-one overflow in "ub->buf[tot_read] = '\0'". It is safe
to decrement tot_read here, because we know that tot_read is equal to
ub->siz (and ub->siz is very large).

We believe that truncation is a better option than failure (implementing
failure instead should be as easy as replacing the "tot_read--" with
"tot_read = 0").

807498f899 0070-proc/readproc.c: Harden status2proc().
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.

The SECURE_ESCAPE_ARGS() macro solves several potential problems
(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).

479b9e54b1 misc: Add some link examples to sysctl.conf (catch up)
--------------- Original Master Branch Commit Message:
Adds both examples to the sample sysctl.conf configuration file
to enable link protection for both hard and soft links.

Most kernels probably have this enabled anyhow.

fb44ecf12f docs: Note limitation of pidof find scripts (catch up)
--------------- Original Master Branch Commit Message:
pidof will miss scripts that are run a certain way due to how
they appear in procfs. This is just a note to say it might miss
them.

39980d6e31 watch: use sysconf() for hostname length __ (catch up)
--------------- Original Master Branch Commit Message:
Hurd doesn't have HOST_NAME_MAX, neither does Solaris.
An early fix just checked for this value and used 64 instead.
This change uses sysconf which is the correct method, possibly until
this compiles on some mis-behaving OS which doesn't have this value.

--------------- Original Master Branch Commit Message:
The manual page for watch for the exec option was confusing and
backwards. Hopefully this one makes more sense.

b0908eec4b library: replace the troublesome '__BEGIN_DECLS' macro
When 'newlib' was introduced, in the commit referenced
below, the use of that glibc '__BEGIN_DECLS' macro was
standardized. However, as issue #88 revealed, this may
result in a fatal build error with other environments.

So, this patch just trades that macro for the standard
'#ifdef __cplusplus' conventions (thus avoiding use of
all those '#include <features.h>' directives as well).
