commit 99459c71ad61f1d7fb3995e616771a30516cf25b Author: Jed Davis jld@mozilla.com Date: Mon Nov 28 12:05:28 2016 -0700

Bug 1320085 - Allow the getrlimit-equivalent subset of prlimit64. r=tedd

This applies only to content processes, where we already allow getrlimit (but not setrlimit). The rule added here does not allow using prlimit64 to set any resource limits or interact with any other process.
