9dd7a97c4a top: force return to row 1 for thread mode transitions
This program does a good job of policing that vertical
scrolled position, ensuring that total tasks are never
exceeded. However, during transitions from thread mode
to normal task mode (the 'H' toggle) that wasn't true.

And while there was no real harm done, it did make the
use of up/down arrow keys "appear" disabled especially
if that scroll message was not displayed ('C' toggle).

This patch simply forces a return to row #1 whenever a
user toggles that display between thread & task modes.

42f0a341ba top: fix 'iokey()' flaw preventing proper translations
As it turns out, the very first entry in the 'iokey()'
tinfo_tab was preventing the proper translation of the
simulated PgUp/PgDn keys (ctrl+meta+k/j). Ignoring the
tortured history behind the most recent change to that
entry, this patch restores the previous value and once
again properly translates these particular keystrokes.

cf057d2fe5 top: provide the means to exploit a 256-color terminal
With the Qualys security audit, we began to harden our
treatment of the top rcfile. In particular, the values
read were checked so as to prevent some malicious user
from editing it in order to achieve an evil objective.

However when it came to colors I was surprised to find
that at least one user edited the rcfile for 256-color
support. Unfortunately, our new checks prevented this.

So this commit will provide the means to exploit those
extra colors with no need to manually edit the rcfile.

a42742b0df top: add another field sanity check in 'config_file()'
Until the Qualys security audit I had never considered
it a possibility that some malicious person might edit
the top config file to achieve some nefarious results.

And while the Qualys approach tended to concentrate on
the symptoms from such an effort, subsequent revisions
more properly concentrated on startup and that rcfile.

This commit completes those efforts with 1 more field.

c699f2e26d top: just respond to the increased command name length
The command name for running tasks is displayed by top
in a variable length field, so the increase from 16 to

2fb269a5b0 top: Fix out-of-bounds read/write in show_... REVERTED
I'm reverting this patch to prepare for some alternate
solution. In that solution I will address point #1 but
point #2 is based on a wrong assumption. There will be
no binary data ever found in the 'glob' passed to this
show_special() function. It is now always simple text.

------------------------------------------------ original commit message
This patch fixes two problems:

1/ In the switch case 0, if sub_end is at the very end of lin[], the two
null-byte writes are off-by-two (a stack-based buffer overflow). Replace
this end-of-string "emulation" with an equivalent test on ch (and then
goto/break out of the loop).

2/ "sub_end += 2" jumps over the null-byte terminator in lin[] if the
line contains a raw (without a tilde) \001-\010 character. Detect such a
null-byte terminator and goto/break out of the loop.

Note: in the case of a raw \001-\010 character, the character at
"sub_end + 1" is never processed (it is skipped/jumped over); this is
not a security problem anymore (since 2/ was fixed), so we decided not
to change this behavior, for backward-compatibility.

That patch referenced below is being reverted because:

. By design, no other top macro looks like a function.
Instead, they all contain some minimal capitalization.
The 'grow_by_size' macro stands out like a sore thumb.

. We would need to approach 400+ million tasks for for
the 1st addressed problem to produce integer overflow.

. And a 2nd check against SSIZE_MAX remains a mystery.

Me thinks a system on which top is running will suffer
ENOMEM before we need to worry about integer overflow.

e531c78140 top: Do not default to the cwd in configs_r... Tweaked
While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and
an occasional email I've tried to maintain some coding
standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.

Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them
but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit:

. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section
. all functions & sections must be referenced in top.h

This patch just attempts to honor the above standards,
while also covering this new behavior in the man page.

[ please note that the net result of these 2 patches ]
[ is simply to avoid pathname truncations should our ]
[ limit of 1024 be exceeded. they do not have a role ]
[ in solving the 'local privilege escalation' issue. ]

If the HOME environment variable is not set, or not absolute, use the

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).

Depending on the width of one's terminal, some strange

f3f90ab93c top: allow translated field headers to determine width
After wrestling with extra wide characters, supporting
languages like zh_CN, sometimes default/minimum column
widths might force a truncation of translated headers.

So, this commit explores one way that such truncations
could be avoided. It is designed so as to have minimal
impact on existing code, ultimately affecting just one
function. But it's off by default via its own #define.

3b53aba319 top: an efficiency tweak to extra wide character logic
When I recently added extra wide character support for
locales like zh_CN, I didn't worry about some overhead
associated with the new calls to 'mbtowc' & 'wcwidth'.
That's because such overhead was usually incurred with
user interactions, not a normal iterative top display.

There was, however, one area where this overhead would
impact the normal iterative top mode - that's with the
Summary display. So I peeked at the glibc source code.

As it turns out, the costs of executing those 'mbtowc'
and 'wcwidth' functions were not at all insignificant.
So, this patch will avoid them in the vast majority of
instances, while still enabling extra wide characters.
