* Linux sandbox: plumb timezone calls through the sandboxagl@chromium.org2009-07-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The localtime (and localtime_r) functions try to access /etc/localtime in the filesystem. For sandboxed renderers, this fails, the the functions default to a UTC timezone. These functions are called from within WebCore and V8 and there's no clean way to patch the source code in place to do a hairpin turn and manage an IPC. Additionally, we cannot overwrite the calls with the usual symbol resolution procedures since the same chrome binary must serve as both the unsandboxed browser and sandboxed renderer. Thus we patch the GOT at runtime if we find, in the zygote process, that we are sandboxed. BUG=16800 TEST=Run javascript:alert(new Date().getTimezoneOffset()) in a sandboxed renderer. The resulting timezone offset (in minutes) should be correct for the local timezone. git-svn-id: svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src@21097 0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98
* Linux: plumb fontconfig call out to the sandbox host.agl@chromium.org2009-06-251-0/+19
This is hopefully the last step before our renderers can run cleanly in a chroot. WebKit needs to be able to ask for the correct font to use in the case that the current font doesn't include glyphs for certain code points. Currently we make a fontconfig call in our WebKit port to handle this. This patch changes this so that the call is sent our via ChromiumBridge. Since we are at ChromiumBridge, we could make a sync IPC to the browser. However, fontconfig is a single threaded library and we are already using it on the UI thread in the browser, so the sync IPC would have to terminate on the UI thread. Even if this doesn't deadlock, it causes huge spikes in latency. So, instead, we send the IPC to the sandbox host process which is already setup to handle fontconfig requests from Skia.
