Package: chromium
Version: 104.0.5112.101-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading chromium (105.0.5195.52-1) over (104.0.5112.101-1).
when attempting to launch chromium had an X window system error message
referring me to http://www.crbug.com/1123353
This machine has an Athlon II X4 640 processor which does support SSE3,
however /proc/cpuinfo does not list ss3, instead listing pni,
see kernel source Documentation/x86/cpuinfo.rst, which also refers to
tools/arch/x86/kcpuid which when built and run lists:

It appears that chromium is incorrectly testing for sse3.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried using a stock Debian kernel (same issue) and also tried running
chromium from unstable on my other pc running i386 (a Pentium Prescott
machine which does actually support sse3) with the same result.
Downgraded back to 104.0.5112.101-1 worked.
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?

problem caused by this commit:
https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium/-/commit/836b9da55c776a27d884d0405f385dcb7ef6f12e
But the checking must consider the presence of "sse3" OR "pni" (that is
a synonym) in /proc/cpuinfo
I have also a CPU that support sse3 and sse4a but declares "pni" in
flags instead of sse3
