commit 90e16dd25b6eb199c016fc8b5e9478a3454d36e1 Author: Richard Pospesel richard@torproject.org Date: Mon Apr 9 11:40:32 2018 -0700

Bug 20283: Tor Browser should run without a `/proc` filesystem.

Firefox uses the current stack frame address and the stack size as a sort of heuristic for various things in the javascript engine. The js::GetNativeStackBaseImpl() function is used to get the base stack address (ie the address from which the stack grows, so this can be either the first or last memory address of the stack memory space depending on the CPU architecture).

On Linux, this function is implemented using the pthreads APIs. For non-main threads, the queried thread info is stored in memory. The main thread does not have this information on hand, so it gets the stack memory range via the /proc/self/maps file ( see glibc's pthread_get_attr_np.c ).

Fortunately (per discussions with the firefox devs in #jsapi) the base address only needs to be approximation. In reality, environment variables, args, and other things are stored in space between the end/beginning of the mapped stack memory and the 'top' of the stack space used by stack frames.

We can get the top of this usable stack from __libc_stack_end, which is a void* set by glibc during program initialization. Non-main threads still get their stack-base through the usual pthreads APIs.

This patch integrates the latest jsnativestack.cpp from mozilla- central, and creates a specific implementation of js::GetNativeStackBaseImpl() for non-android Linux using the described __libc_stack_end read. --- js/src/jsnativestack.cpp | 88 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 54 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-)
