Hi,
I think it's also worth asking whether Google would accept some of
these patches in ways that are not ppc64-specific. In other words, code
that cleans stuff up as part of a ppc64 patch set that maintainers
*don't immediately reject because they see "ppc64 support" in the title
or description*.
For example, the patch that Timothy proposed
(
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3645995)
could be reworked to make the gn config easier to read and maintain.
Here's the non-modified code:
# The seccomp-bpf sandbox is only supported on six architectures
# currently.
# Do not disable seccomp_bpf anywhere without talking to
#
secu...@chromium.org!
use_seccomp_bpf = (is_linux || is_chromeos || is_android) &&
(current_cpu == "x86" || current_cpu == "x64" ||
current_cpu == "arm" || current_cpu == "arm64" ||
current_cpu == "mipsel" || current_cpu == "mips64el")
I don't know how many architectures chromium officially supports, but I
suspect that those six are most or even all of them. This could be
changed to simply 'use_seccomp_bpf = (is_linux || is_chromeos ||
is_android)' if those six are all of the officially supported cpu
architectures; and if not, the exceptions being manually listed
('use_seccomp_bpf = (is_linux || is_chromeos || is_android) &&
(current_cpu != "s390x"'). This would resolve ppc64's issue as well,
obviating the need for that specific patch.
The question about whether ppc64-specific patches will be accepted
should also be answered, regardless of my point about a subset of these
patches.
Thanks,
Andres
