libyuv /proc/cpuinfo detect within Chrome sandbox #345

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Neon instruction set is optional and detection is via the file /proc/cpuinfo
This file can not be read within Chrome's sandbox.

r1037 attempts to read the file, but if it can not be read and the NEON code 
has been built in, Neon is assumed to be true.

Find a better way to detect Neon that is sandbox friendly.

cross posting from crbug:

This CL provides a way to cache files and makes them available in the sandbox.
https://codereview.chromium.org/416473002/

This CL uses the sandbox file cache from the above CL to provide a weak 
implementation of getauxval, guaranteeing its availability in Chrome.
https://codereview.chromium.org/435533003

Now getauxval can be used inside the Chrome sandbox regardless of glibc 
version. Think that provides everything you need and you will have no 
Chrome-specific code in the libs.

How's this sound to the media guys?
fbarchard@ Could you test this with libyuv et el...you'd need to cherry pick 
the above CLs.
