In that commit referenced below, a few edge cases were
addressed regarding vertical positioning involving any
'hidden' tasks. But, 2 additional edge cases remained.
In a running top, if the user employed 'other filters'
(o/O) or 'user filters' (u/U) proper vertical position
was not ensured. And, while this could be easily fixed
by striking the home/end or up/down arrow keys, it was
very poor etiquette to shift this burden to the users.
So, this patch plugs that gap, automating the process.

That prior patch set the stage for eliminating the use
of that 'procps.h' header, while retaining support for
a ./configure -DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG' during development.
This commit just eliminates top's use of 'procps.h' in
favor of a separate include for needed newlib headers.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
If we ever were to eliminate the procps.h header file,
as discussed in the thread referenced below, then that
would impair the current XTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG provisions.
The only remaining way to verify result types would be
to explicitly include that <proc/xtra-procps-debug.h>.
So, this commit will once again enable the ./configure
provision for defining the -DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG option.

From the outset, top has tried to provide some minimal
garbage collection in support of forest view collapse.
For example, with every 'v' keystroke, a check is made
of the currently targeted pids. If all were negative,
which means expanded, that Hide_pid array was emptied.
Recently, yet another efficiency was added wherein the
continuing scan for a targeted pid was terminated when
a match was found. But, one more inefficiency existed.
When a task which was subject to collapse under forest
view mode has disappeared (ended), repeatedly scanning
for such a pid with each iteration makes little sense.
So this commit will negate such targeted pids and thus
avoid scanning every current task looking for a match.
Then, if 'v' is ever stuck at some point in the future
there will be a chance to empty that Hide_pid[] array.
[ hopefully this will be a final tweak of the forest ]
[ view collapse stuff, but cross your fingers anyway ]

In forest view mode, once a collapsible parent process
and all of its children (if any) have been identified,
there is no longer a need to scan the remaining tasks.
So this patch will just force a new scan for any other
'Hide_pid' entries which might remain to be identified
after a targeted parent has been completely processed.

The top program has always specified the maximum stack
depth at 'new' time. Then, in those stacks the minimum
number of result structures were used for representing
only fields actually being displayed in the 4 windows.
That, however, complicated all subsequent access since
each field's enumerator then had to be translated into
a relative position when interacting with the library.
This was accomplished by that Fieldstab 'erel' member.
So this patch eliminates an extra level of indirection
by fully exploiting the existing maximum sized stacks.
Now, the enumerators that top uses to represent fields
also represent their relative positions in each stack.
[ for fields not actually displayed, the position in ]
[ a stack is represented by the 'PIDS_extra' struct. ]
[ thus, there isn't any real library costs for those ]
[ enumerators/fields which aren't currently visible. ]

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.

Currently, it isn't possible to establish an 'Inspect'
pipe that relies on SIGINT to end. That's because this
signal will also end the parent process (top) as well.
So this patch will temporarily ignore that signal when
processing any 'Inspect' pipe, allowing one like this:
. pipe ^I Trace Calls ^I /usr/bin/strace -r -p %d 2>&1
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
Upon startup there exists the potential for some minor
memory leakage should some rcfile 'Inspect' entries be
invalid. By delaying any malloc/strdup until after the
entries are completely validated we will prevent that.

Parent tasks with collapsed children should have their
cpu reflect any unseen tasks only under the following:
1) When built without TREE_VCPUOFF having been defined
2) Exclusively when 'Show_FOREST' display mode was set
3) And only under the current window when in alternate
display mode (except if TREE_VWINALL has been defined)
So, this commit just ensures these objectives are met.

Using Ctrl-V for the collapse children key now appears
as a mistake. First, it's too close to that Ctrl-C key
which would prematurely terminate top. Second, a lower
case 'v' was unused and perfectly compliments an upper
case 'V' which is used to toggle 'forest view' itself.

Now, when a parent's children have been collapsed, the
cpu used by those unseen tasks will disappear no more.
Instead such tics will be added to the parent's total.
[ if one wished a return to the 'land of lost tics', ]
[ the '#define TREE_VCPUOFF' directive is available. ]
------------------------------------------------------
Note: With collapsible parents now displaying children
cpu usage, it will eventually be noticed the cpu stats
for the summary area and task areas often vary widely.
It's worth a reminder that for top's summary area each
individual cpu and the cpu summary is limited to 100%,
regardless of how many tics a linux kernel may export.
An individual task is limited to 100% times the number
of threads. But, in no case will cpu usage ever exceed
100% times total number of processors. Such limits are
further reduced under 'Solaris' mode ('I' toggle off).
In this mode, a task cpu usage will never exceed 100%.
These limits will now also apply to collapsed parents.
In addition to those influences, results are subjected
to kernel timer sampling anomalies and the distortions
inherent in a small sample size, made worse by smaller
delay intervals. Often there is just 1 or 2 tics for a
few tasks at smaller intervals such as: 1/10th second.
Anyway, should questions on this subject arise, a good
starting point, beyond the reminders above, is the 1st

This patch just addresses some edge cases with respect
to 'unseen' tasks. Given the ability to preserve other
filters in the rcfile, it's entirely possible the very
first task(s) may not be visible at top startup. Also,
when switching between windows ('a'/'w') we should try
to always position its row #1 on some visible process.
Lastly, a window might have *NO* visible tasks at all.
Therefore, protect 'window_hlp' from an infinite loop.

To my knowledge, nobody has ever complained about some
anomalies when scrolling vertically if tasks should be
hidden from view. This can happen with the user filter
('u/U') or other filter ('o/O') features. And although
some tasks are not shown, they still impact scrolling.
This is most apparent when that scroll coordinates msg
is on ('C') & up/down arrow keys used (vs. pgup/pgdn).
Now that we can collapse/expand forked children, there
is a potential for yet more of those hidden processes.
So this commit normalizes vertical scrolling providing
an expected behavior. In other words, the up/down keys
skip the unseen tasks to reposition on a visible task.

This patch is simply preparation for upcoming vertical
scrolling enhancements. With those changes, it will be
impossible to predict what the beginning task position
should be at the time the message is currently issued.

The issue cited below really dealt with preserving the
'Other filter' criteria in the rcfile. But as an aside
the htop 'F6' feature (collapsed children) was raised.
I took that as an implied challenge and decided to try
implementing a similar feature in top. So, this commit
will now provide a brand new forest view toggle ('^V')
which will be used to collapse/expand forked children.
[ this patch will also lead to additional patches in ]
[ support of more rational vertical scrolling, since ]
[ many more tasks might now be hidden in some window ]

The current checks allow out-of-range values (for example, if
getenv/atoi returns ~-2GB, maxcmd becomes ~+2GB after the subtraction).
This is not a security problem, none of this is under an attacker's
control.
Check the return value of sscanf() to make sure that all input items are
properly initialized.
In extended mode (x_option), one_proc() loads the values of start and
perms during one iteration of the while loop, and displays them during
one of the following iterations, but start and perms are variables local
to the while loop: move them out of the while loop, to the beginning of
the function.
Also, display a mapping only if cp2 is properly initialized; otherwise
(for example), mappings that do not belong to a selected range are
displayed, and with a NULL mapping name:
$ pmap -x -A 6FFF00000000,7FFF00000000 $$

In the headers, the space was misplaced; for example, "pmap -XX $$"
outputs "VmFlagsMapping" (without a space). Use justify_print() instead
of printf().
There was also an extra space in the output, because vmflags[] (from the
"VmFlags:" line) always ends with a space. Overwriting this last space
with a null byte fixes this misalignment.
Signed-off-by: Craig Small <csmall@enc.com.au>
vmflags[] is a 27*(2+1)=81 char array, but there are 30 flags now (not
27), and even with 27 flags this was an off-by-one overflow (the kernel
always outputs a flag with "%c%c ", so the last +1 is for a space, not
for the terminating null byte). Protect vmflags[] with a maximum field
width, as in the surrounding sscanf() calls.
