The FunctionBroker is a special kind of FunctionHook that brokers the hooked function on another process. In the child process, it uses the FunctionBrokerChild to request that the FunctionBrokerParent run a function and return the response. It handles most cases of parameter, return value and error marshaling on its own. It also guarantees that requests are issued from the proper thread.
The FunctionBroker actors allow the NPAPI process (child) to run methods on the main process (parent). Both the parent and the child run dedicated threads for this task -- this is a top-level protocol.
Namespace isolation is now handled by using clone() at process creation
time, rather than calling unshare.
pthread_atfork will no longer apply to sandboxed child processes.
The two significant uses of it in Firefox currently are to (1) make
malloc work post-fork, which we already avoid depending on in IPC and
sandboxing, and (2) block SIGPROF while forking, which is taken care of;
see SandboxFork::Fork for details. Note that if we need pthread_atfork
in the future it could be emulated by symbol interposition.
clone() is called via glibc's wrapper, for increased compatibility vs.
invoking the syscall directly, using longjmp to recover the syscall's
fork-like semantics the same way Chromium does; see comments for details.
The chroot helper is reimplemented; the general approach is similar,
but instead of a thread it's a process cloned with CLONE_FS (so the
filesystem root is shared) from the child process before it calls
exec, so that it still holds CAP_SYS_CHROOT in the newly created user
namespace. This does mean that it will retain a CoW copy of the
parent's address space until the child starts sandboxing, but that is a
relatively short period of time, so the memory overhead should be small
and short-lived.
The chrooting now happens *after* the seccomp-bpf policy is applied;
previously this wasn't possible because the chroot thread would have
become seccomp-restricted and unable to chroot. This fixes a potential
race condition where a thread could try to access the filesystem after
chrooting but before having its syscalls intercepted for brokering,
causing spurious failure. (This failure mode hasn't been observed in
practice, but we may not be looking for it.)
This adds a hidden bool pref, security.sandbox.content.force-namespace,
which unshares the user namespace (if possible) even if no sandboxing
requires it. It defaults to true on Nightly and false otherwise, to
get test coverage; the default will change to false once we're using
namespaces by default with content.

pure or override implies virtual. static is mutually exclusive with virtual (and pure and override). Combining these types into a "method specifier" enum simplifies the code and prevents bogus states like virtual=0 and pure=1.

We had to force-include Char16.h to simulate char16_t on older MSVC versions.
But it is no longer the case. We should not rebuild the world whenever we
touch this file.
