variable width column scrolling (assuming SCROLLVAR_NO

When a visual separator was added to 2 abreast summary
items in a recent commit, this bug was introduced. So,
from that earlier patch we'll revert one line of code.
The bug surfaced under an 80/even column terminal only
when that '4' toggle was off. With an an 81/odd column
screen, it existed in both single and 2 abreast modes.

When that 'F' focus command has been applied to a task
in forest view it should remain as the topmost process
in a particular window. But without this patch that is
not guaranteed. Newly forked/cloned tasks 'above' such
a process result in task(s) appearing which shouldn't.
The effect was as if that up arrow key scrolled beyond
the topmost parent task, which would never be allowed.
[ since scrolling is permitted within a focus range, ]
[ when any task 'above' our focus/topmost task ends, ]
[ we respond as if scrolled with the down arrow key. ]

For quite some time now, top has stood out like a sore
thumb regarding the approach to cmdline options & help
text. Only short options were used and that same help
text was displayed for '-h' (help) plus 'v' (version).
[ also, top 'rolled his own' when it came to parsing ]
[ options while avoiding that getopt implementation. ]
Well, with this commit all of that has changed and top
now has added a long form of his options. Additionally
he employs getopt_long() for the bulk of that parsing.
[ however, top will still avoid separate fputs calls ]
[ characteristic of other procps-ng programs when it ]
[ comes to help. rather all such text is one string. ]
Along the way, the following major getopt deficiencies
were addressed, assuming the absence of a new #define:

* whitespace is allowed before & after the equals sign
* optional arguments needn't abut their related option
for short form nor is an '=' required with either form

Just to see if I could, the new #define will force the

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
Sometimes, it might be useful to isolate a parent task
and its forked children from other system activity. As
an example, a user might want to examine workload in a
specific lxc container. Or maybe there is some need to
question what's happening under the same tmux session.
Since forest view mode tends to be a relatively stable
display, it will sometimes satisfy the above need. But
that mode can't currently guarantee the target process
always remains as the topmost task or even is visible.
So, this patch will enable focusing on any parent task
and keeping it as the topmost process while displaying
it and its forked children only. It then appears as if
there is no other activity in that system by virtue of
the blank lines which follow that final child process.
To implement this new feature, top's redundant 'F' key
has been repurposed. It made little sense devoting two
keys to the Fields Management screen (especially since
the key we've taken required two separate keystrokes).

In the patch referenced below, 2 potential abends were
fixed both of which involved 'alternate display mode'.
The root cause of those abends was a negative value in
the 'begnext' field for other than the current window.
And while that potential is fixed for now the existing
code almost invites such problems again in the future.
So, this patch will remove any temptation to name some
other window in the 'mkVIZrow1' macro. And, since that
macro is not the only source of 'begnext' changes, the
'mkVizrowX' is being added to identify such occasions.

it will be issued just once per user interaction. Thus
a promise of 'Curwin' only being impacted is restored.

Since this master library isn't quite as sophisticated
as the newlib version, this patch will protect against
the possibility of multibyte characters in a program's
name combined with some locale without UTF-8 encoding.
[ it is better to treat the COMMAND column length as ]
[ more than what's actually printed than to have the ]
[ line overflow & corrupt the remaining screen lines ]
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
When any process' command line contains multibyte utf8
characters, two separate display problems could arise.
1. If that COMMAND column is not displayed as the very
last field, then field(s) to the right are misaligned.
2. Even when last, should utf8 string length (not that
display length) exceed allowable screen width, it will
nonetheless suffer from improper premature truncation.
Number 1 is less of a concern since the cmdline column
is likely to always be the last field to be displayed,
if only to enable right and left scrolling provisions.
Number 2 is much more likely to occur, especially with
additional fields which might be shown before COMMAND.
Or, forest view child tasks can yield the same effect.
So, this commit will permit the correct utf8 multibyte
display regardless of field position or string length.
And, we'll bring top into line with the ps program for
additional fields potentially subject to utf8 display.

For the original implementation of the '4' toggle, the
minimum width was set at 165 columns. This was done to
avoid truncations when detailed cpu statistics (versus
graphs) were being displayed. Those can not be scaled.
Upon reflection, it seems more appropriate to give the
user the choice of whether or not to truncate. And, by
reducing that minimum width requirement to 80 columns,
we'll vastly expand potential use of two abreast mode.
[ we'll keep that original as '#define TOG4_NOTRUNC' ]
The patch also updates the man document appropriately.
Along the way, we will trade the potentially confusing
word 'adjacent' for the more natural 'additional' when
detailing the '!' toggle in 4b. Summary-Area-Commands.

The Debian bug referenced below has nothing to do with
locales. In fact, top was made locale independent back
in release 3.3.13 (April, 2018). However, that bug did
reveal some misplaced logic which this patch corrects.
Prompted by the Qualys audit, all rcfile field strings
were checked for potential duplicates which could only
have resulted from some user's manual/malicious edits.
Unfortunately, that code was executed before top had a
chance to enforce the proper/maximum string length (in
the event an extremely old rcfile had just been read).
This created some potential string overrun references.
In top's original 3.3.15 implementation, the potential
overrun extended for 15 characters. That is the number
of field characters added with 3.3.9 (December, 2013).
But, since strchr() was used, no error exit was taken.
In the revised 3.3.16 implementation, the strchr() was
replaced with '&w->rc.fieldscur[n]'. This held overrun
to a single position while producing an error message.
So, this commit just moves that logic to a point where
fieldscur is guaranteed to be longer than EU_MAXPFLGS.

This commit duplicates a change to that newlib branch.
However, it should be noted that such a change was not
really necessary under this master branch since proc_t
data remains valid much longer. It is being duplicated
here as documentation only. Below is the original msg.

This patch will eliminate a bug which is unique to our

a search ('L'/'&') is initiated during the period when
fields are currently being auto-sized (AUTOX_MODE on).
This bug surfaces as either all zero results for tasks
displayed or a segmentation fault, depending upon what
fields were activated. It is caused by the timing of a
call to the <pids> 'reset' function. When called after
a task refresh, but before do_key(), this bug appears.
So this patch just ensures that 'reset' will be called
after do_key() & before the tasks have been refreshed.

A recent issue (and merge request) reminded me of gaps
in top's alternate 'vim' navigation keys support. Some
xterm emulators do not pass the customary strings when
keys were used with the <Ctrl> and/or <Alt> modifiers.
While it was a known problem, this issue/merge request
prompted research into the root cause. As it turns out
the problem is traceable to an X resource known by the
name 'eightBitInput'. When 'true' (the default), a key
pressed in combination with <Alt> will not be preceded
by the <Esc> character. Rather, a single character was
presented (modified via an 'eightBitMeta' X resource).
The following approaches would eliminate this problem:
. start xterm thus: xterm -xrm '*eightBitInput: false'
. use: ~/.Xresources with 'Xterm*eightBitInput: false'
. build xterm with 'configure --enable-meta-sends-esc'
( apparently used for CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, etc. )
. enable xterm's menu via 'configure --enable-toolbar'
( so the user can set the 'Meta Sends Escape' option )
Of course, none of the above steps is desirable from a
user's perspective. So, this patch will add additional
entries to the iokey function's tinfo_tab to represent
strings passed when the <Alt> key does not send <Esc>.
[ hopefully they'll be the same across all platforms ]
Lastly, this patch will also eliminate those redundant
<Atl> + '\', '/', '<' & '>' provisions, which now seem
like overkill and suffer from that same 'eightBitMeta'
xterm problem. And we might as well say goodbye to the
4 '<Alt> + arrow key' table entries (which do not seem
to currently work with any emulator which I can find).

I thank Guido Jäkel for raising the issue cited in the
merge request referenced below. While restoring 1 line
of code would produce the desired results, it does not
address the root cause of that problem he experienced.
The variable 'smp_num_cpus' was set by libprocps via a
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) call. It was supposed to
represent total number of processors currently online.
It also served as the position in the Cpu_tics[] array
where the /proc/stat line #1 (cpu summary) was stored.
The variable 'Cpu_faux_tot' was valued by top based on
total individual cpus parsed from the /proc/stat file.
It serves as a fence post for Cpu_tics[] array access.
The problem Guido experienced results from a disparity
between those 2 variables, plus one instance where the
wrong variable was used in the summary_show() routine.
. Here is the real culprit, the actual incorrect code:

The above 'disparity' might arise in any system when a
cpu is taken offline since there's a 3 second delay in
cpu and memory refreshes in an effort to reduce costs.
Usually this particular condition will be short lived.
However, there is a more persistent problem under lxc.
If a host cpu is taken offline and then brought online
again, within the container sysconf returns the proper
number of online processors. But, /proc/stat does not!
Sadly, I've yet to find a way to coax a container into
refreshing its /proc/stat, short of reboting the host.
[ might that represent a potential bug in lxc logic? ]

While setting the size of that Hide_pid array to equal
total pids high water mark was probably safe, in truth
there is no real relationship. At some point one could
exceed that HWM if the 'v' toggle was used extensively
and at least 1 of those entries remained non-negative.
This commit simply divorces Hide_tot from the pids HWM
and bases Hide_pid array size on actual run-time need.

Currently, except for tasks that have no parents, when
a process' children are collapsed the '+' indicator is
shown in the first position within that COMMAND field.
This commit simply provides for indenting the '+' char

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.

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 ]

Our newlib branch has already dropped support for such

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.

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
link listed below. Those other links were derivatives.

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 individual windows' tasks have all been displayed.

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 ]

These modifications are being made now in anticipation
