Not exploitable (not under an attacker's control), but still a potential
non-security problem. Copied, fixed, and used the grow_size() macro from
pidof.c.
memset()ing task and subtask inside their loops prevents free_acquired()
(in readproc() and readtask()) from free()ing their contents (especially
cmdline and environ).
Our solution is not perfect, because we still memleak the very last
cmdline/environ, but select_procs() is called only once, so this is not
as bad as it sounds.
It would be better to leave subtask in its block and call
free_acquired() after the loop, but this function is static (not
exported).
The only other solution is to use freeproc(), but this means replacing
the stack task/subtask with xcalloc()s, thus changing a lot of code in
pgrep.c (to pointer accesses).
Hence this imperfect solution for now.
sig.c had this odd logic where on non-Hurd systems it would undefine
SIGLOST. Fine for Hurd or amd64 Linux systems. Bad for a sparc which
has SIGLOST defined *and* is not Hurd.
Just check its defined, its much simpler.
If pgrep is run with a non-program name match and there are
no matches, it segfaults.
The testsuite thinks zero bytes sent, and zero bytes sent
because the program crashed is the same :/

Update NEWS with the version
Add library API change into NEWS
Update c:r:a for library to 7:0:1
This means the current and age are incremented, so old programs can
use new library but not vice-versa as they won't have the numa*
functions.
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.

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.

By default pgrep/pkill should not kill processes in a namespace it is not
part of. If this is allowed, it allows callers to break namespaces they did
not expect to affect, requiring rewrite of all callers to fix.
So by default, we should work in the current namespace. If --ns 0 is
specified, they we look at all namespaces, and if any other pid is specified
we continue to look in only that namespace.

With a little luck, this should be the final tweak for
our support of extra wide characters. Currently, those
characters don't always display the '+' indicator when
they've been truncated. Now, it should always be seen.

I frequency use pidof command with strace system call tracer.
strace can trace MULTIPLE processes specified with "-p $PID"
arguments like:
strace -p 1 -p 1030 -p 3043
Sometimes I want to do as following
strace -p $(pidof httpd)
However, above command line doesn't work because -p option
is needed for specifying a pid. pidof uses a whitespace as
a separator. For passing the output to strace, the separator
should be replaced with ' -p '.
This maybe not a special to my use case.
This commit introduces -S option that allows a user to specify a
separator the one wants.

The procio functions that were in the library have been
moved into sysctl. sysctl is not linked to libprocps in
newlib and none of the other procps binaries would need
to read/write large data to the procfs.

The buffers and file offsets are handled dynamically
on the required buffer size at read, that is lseek(2)
is used to determine this size. Large buffers at
write are split at a delimeter into pieces and also
lseek(2) is used to write each of them.

As it turns out, that Ukrainian 'demo' text supporting
the '=' command was 152 bytes long, up from an English
version of 80 bytes. Unfortunately, the buffer used to
format all such strings was insufficient at 128 bytes.
Depending on the width of one's terminal, some strange
result could be experienced when a multi-byte sequence
was truncated. So, this just makes that buffer bigger.

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.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
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.

There is (should be) no justification for changing the
width of the percentage columns (%CPU, %MEM) depending
on the BOOST_PERCNT #define. So this patch will ensure
that both columns are fixed at their former maximum 5.

Back when top was refactored to support UTF-8 encoding
it was acknowledged that languages like zh_CN were not
supported. That was because a single 'character' might
require more than a single 'column' when it's printed.
Well I've now figured out how to accommodate languages
like that. My adaptation is represented in this patch.
[ and just in case someone wishes to avoid the extra ]
[ runtime costs, a #define OFF_XTRAWIDE is included. ]
Along the way, I've cleaned up some miscellaneous code
supporting the 'Inspect' feature so that the rightmost
screen column was always used rather than being blank.
[ interestingly, my xterm & urxvt terminal emulators ]
[ are able to split extra wide characters then print ]
[ 1/2 of such graphics in the last column. the gnome ]
[ terminal emulator does not duplicate such behavior ]

When the new approach for startup defaults was adopted
in the reference below, a file might be left open that
technically should be closed. This situation arises in
the unlikely event the #define RCFILE_NOERR is active.
Without that #define, the program will exit early thus
rendering the open file issue moot. However, even with
that #define there was no real harm with an open file.
It simply meant a 2nd FILE struct would have been used
when, or if, the rcfile was written via a 'W' command.
Anyway, this patch ensures such a file will be closed.
