andre@0: Description:
andre@0: NSS 3.16.2 Beta 3 with NSPR 4.10.4
andre@0: 
andre@0: This copy of NSS has been customized for Chromium.  NSPR is also put here
andre@0: rather than in a separate directory to emphasize the fact that Chromium is
andre@0: using NSPR strictly as an NSS dependency.
andre@0: 
andre@0: We took a subset of NSS, omitting the SSL and SMIME libraries and the
andre@0: built-in root CA certificates module.  This NSS subset satisfies the
andre@0: dependencies of the NSS SSL library in src/net/third_party/nss.  Do NOT use
andre@0: this copy of NSS on platforms that have NSS as system libraries, such as
andre@0: Linux.
andre@0: 
andre@0: The source code was checked out from the mozilla.org CVS or hg repository using
andre@0: the nspr-checkout.sh and nss-checkout.sh scripts in the scripts directory.
andre@0: The current source code was checked out with the hg tag NSS_3_16_2_BETA3
andre@0: and the hg tag NSPR_4_10_4_RTM.

andre@0: Local Modifications:
andre@0: 
andre@0: We made the following local changes to NSPR.
andre@0: - patches/nspr-static.patch: to build NSPR as static libraries.  See NSPR
andre@0:   bug 533014 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533014).
andre@0: - patches/prcpucfg.h: added to the nspr/pr/include directory.
andre@0: - patches/nspr-attach-as-system-thread.patch: attach a "foreign" thread
andre@0:   (a thread not created by NSPR) to NSPR as a "system" thread rather than
andre@0:   a "user" thread, which needs to terminate before PR_Cleanup can return.
andre@0:   (The "system" vs. "user" thread distinction comes from Java, and
andre@0:   ultimately from Solaris threads.)  This is a workaround for
andre@0:   http://crbug.com/40663.
andre@0: - patches/nspr-remove-io.patch: Remove IO operations in NSPR to allow NSS
andre@0:   to work in the sandbox.  Do not initialize IO when initializing NSPR.
andre@0:   Windows version of NSPR also tried to use getaddrinfo to resolve hostname
andre@0:   in a SSL connection.  By removing _PR_HAVE_GETADDRINFO this will force it
andre@0:   to use PR_GetHostByName.  Removing _PR_INET6_PROBE will prevent it from
andre@0:   creating an IPv6 socket to probe if IPv6 is there.
andre@0:   DO NOT upstream this patch.
andre@0: 
andre@0: We made the following local changes to NSS.
andre@0: - patches/nss-static.patch: to build NSS as static libraries and omit
andre@0:   libpkix (the new certification path validation library) and
andre@0:   softoken/legacydb (support for the old Berkeley DB databases).  See NSS
andre@0:   bug 534471 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534471).
andre@0: - nss/exports_win.def: The list of exports to use when building nss as a
andre@0:   dynamic library (crnss.dll).
andre@0: - nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.c: a generated file. Do an upstream NSS
andre@0:   build and copy the generated certdata.c.
andre@0: - nss/lib/freebl/build_config_mac.h: a header that defines the target arch
andre@0:   specific configuration macros for lib/freebl on iOS and Mac OS X. This
andre@0:   works around the lack of support for the xcode_settings
andre@0:   GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS[arch=foo] by the ninja GYP generator
andre@0:   (http://crbug.com/122592).
andre@0: - nss/lib/freebl/mpi/mpi_arm_mac.c: a wrapper file for mpi_arm.c for iOS
andre@0:   and Mac OS X. This works around the inability to specify target arch
andre@0:   specific source files in Xcode.
andre@0: - patches/nss-remove-fortezza.patch: remove Fortezza certificate support
andre@0:   from PK11_ImportPublicKey.  See NSS bug 668397
andre@0:   (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668397).
andre@0: - patches/nss-urandom-abort.patch: call abort() if NSS cannot read from
andre@0:   /dev/urandom.  See Chromium issue 244661 (http://crbug.com/244661).
andre@0: - patches/nss-chacha20-poly1305.patch: Support ChaCha20+Poly1305 cipher
andre@0:   suites.  See NSS bug 917571
andre@0:   (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=917571).
andre@0: - patches/nss-genname-warnings.patch: Fix compiler warnings in
andre@0:   lib/certdb/genname.c that are treated as errors by -Werror,-Wpointer-sign.
andre@0:   Will be fixed in NSS 3.16.2.
andre@0: - patches/nss-rsa-key-check.patch: RSA_PrivateKeyCheck should not swap
andre@0:   members of the input RSAPrivateKey.
