Namely:
o use malloc where an xCalloc slipped in
o safeguard against an empty arg list - I don't think it's possible,
but it would be potentially exploitable
o we need to initialize the arg string to an empty string because we no
longer use strlcpy(3)
o annotate a tricky use of strlcpy(3)'s truncation
Including:
o set *basenameEnd even in error cases (FreeBSD probably needs this)
o use kvm_openfiles(3) rather than kvm_open(3) so that we can report
errors (as with FreeBSD)
o sanify the process argument list creation by using strlcat(3)
o drop the pageSizeKb variable and use the PAGE_SIZE_KB macro directly,
as the page size can't change anyway
o clean up a few macros, add MINIMUM() and MAXIMUM() (should be
mirrored to FreeBSD)
o fix some syntax
o add some useful comments
This involves switching from kvm_open(3) to kvm_openfiles(3). The only
difference is that the latter has saner error reporting (see the man
page for details). We can now fatally report the error rather than just
calling assert(3).
Once a process goes zombie on Linux, /proc/PID/cmdline
gets empty. So, when we detect it is a zombie we stop
reading this file.
For processes that were zombies before htop started,
there's no way to get the full name.
Closes#49.
This simplifies the protocol between the platform-independent
and platform-specific parts. The platform-specific parts
were supposed to re-determine the value of process->show
on each iteration, and the Darwin subsystem wasn't doing that.
Instead of adding the code to the Darwin part, I lifted the
burden of the OS-specific of resetting process->show: now
they can choose to hide a process if they want to (e.g.
detecting kernel threads) but are not required to
(e.g. on Darwin where we're not listing threads separately (yet?)).
Fixes tree view collapsing/expanding on OSX. Closes#416.
Got a report in #397 that htop runs in NetBSD
masquerading as Linux and using a compatibility /proc
(like we used to in FreeBSD) and that it builds fine
apart from this syscall.
