How does chromium get timezone on linux?

[Zhao Jiazhong]

Hi Chromium-dev,

I find a different behavior between d8 and chromium on linux:

1. When the /etc/localtime file is a soft link to like /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai,

run "Date()" in d8 and chromium will both get "GMT+0800" as timezone.

2. But if I copy the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai to a strange name like /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghaiiii, and make a soft link to /etc/localtime, then:

"Date()" still gets "GMT+0800" as timezone in d8, but gets "GMT+0000" in chromium.

So I wonder why the wrong file name will prevent chromium from getting the right timezone?  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Best regards,

Zhao Jiazhong

Maybe take a look at
services/device/time_zone_monitor/time_zone_monitor_linux.cc?
