Changes required to Chromium to work on big endian

  • Skia
- Chromium assumes that the pixel format, when viewed as a 32-bit word, is either ARGB or ABGR. However, third_party/skia/include/core/SkImageInfo.h contains a check that the pixel format, when viewed as four 8-bit bytes, is either BGRA or RGBA. Hence either this check needs to be relaxed (Maybe it is bogus in the first place? The comments talk about "native ARGB 32-bit", yet the test goes out of its way to test the ordering as bytes and not as 32-bit words), or Chromium needs to learn about a different pixel format.
  • Datapack
    • ui/base/resource/data_pack.cc
    - Need to byteswap metadata on input (resource file format is specified to use LE) Done
    • chrome/browser/themes/browser_theme_pack.cc
    - "datapack assumes little endian"
  • Net
    • net/cert/crl_set.cc
    - "assumes little endian"
    • components/safe_browsing/db/v4_rice.cc
    - #error The code below assumes little-endianness.
  • Media
    • media/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_common.cc and media/formats/mp4/box_definitions.cc
    - #error The code below assumes little-endianness.
    • media/renderers/paint_canvas_video_renderer.cc
    - Depending on choice of Skia pixel format, a new LIBYUV mapping set may be needed (see also third_party/libyuv below).
  • I18N
    • base/i18n/icu_util.cc
    - Needs to use "icudtb.dat" instead of "icudtl.dat" on BE Done
  • Sandbox
    • sandbox/linux/system_headers/linux_seccomp.h
    - The definition of the big endian variant is incorrect (contains a bogus "__AUDIO_ARCH_BE"). Also, it would be better to define two different macros AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64 and AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE (because that is how it actually looks in <linux/audit.h>), and choose the correct one in sandbox/linux/bpf_dsl/seccomp_macros.h instead. Done
  • third_party/skia
    • include/private/GrTypesPriv.h
    - #error "Skia gpu currently assumes little endian"
    • src/opts/Sk4px_none.h
    - Sk4px::alphas, Sk4px::zeroAlphas, Sk4px::zeroColors: "This method assumes little-endian."
    • src/opts/SkXfermode_opts.h
    - a_rgb assumes specific component order
    • src/utils/SkJSON.cpp and src/utils/SkJSON.h
    - Tagged value implementation needs to be adapted for BE Done
    • src/codec/SkCodecPriv.h
    - Missing include of "SkEndian.h" Done
  • third_party/boringssl/src
    • include/openssl/base.h
    - Need to regcognize BE ppc64 Done
    • crypto/fipsmodul/bn/bytes.c
    - Bignum I/O functions need adaption for BE Done
  • third_party/blink
    • renderer/platform/graphics/gpu/webgl_image_conversion.cc
    - Does contain BE support, but a variable rename refactoring is missing from the BE code Done
    • renderer/platform/graphics/logging_canvas.cc
    - Does contain BE support, but a variable rename refactoring is missing from the BE code Done
    • renderer/platform/image-decoders/jpeg/jpeg_image_decoder.cc
    - #error Blink assumes a little-endian target.
    • renderer/platform/image-decoders/webp/webp_image_decoder.cc
    - #error Blink assumes a little-endian target.
    • renderer/platform/heap/asm/SaveRegisters_ppc64.S
    - Needs to handle ELF ABI v1 Done
  • third_party/perfetto
    • src/ipc/buffered_frame_deserializer.cc, src/ipc/buffered_frame_deserializer_unittest.cc
    - Uses "AssumeLittleEndian" template
    • src/protozero/message.cc
    - float and double handling need adjusting for BE (according to comment)
    • src/protozero/proto_decoder.cc
    - Byteswap implementations missing Done
  • third_party/ffmpeg
    • chromium/scripts/build_ffmpeg.py
    - Needs to recognize 'ppc64' as well as 'ppc64le' Done
  • third_party/webrtc
    • common_audio/wav_file.cc
    - WavReader::ReadSamples and WavWriter::WriteSamples need to byteswap the samples
    • common_audio/wav_header.cc
    - Conversion functions missing Done
  • third_party/modp_b64
    • BUILD.gn
    - modp_b64 actually supports BE, but in converting to their own build system Google managed to lose the check to define WORDS_BIGENDIAN Done
    • modp_b64.cc
    - The prototype of modp_b64_decode needs to be updated to use size_t instead of int for the lengths, as it has been done for the LE variant Done
  • third_party/crc32c
    • BUILD.gn
    - Needs to define BYTE_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN=1 on BE
  • third_party/leveldatabase
    • port/port_chromium.h
    - Needs to set kLittleEndian depending on endianness
  • third_party/libvpx
- The build system should move VSX-specific sources into a separate source set, and set the cflags "-maltivec -mvsx" for it. In the original build system the cflags were set based on a glob of the source filename, but in Googles build system it has to be done manually.
  • third_party/libyuv
- Depending on choice of Skia pixel format, additional conversion function variants may be needed
