Porting/Chromium/BE
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"Done
- Net
- net/cert/crl_set.cc
- -
"assumes little endian"Done
- components/safe_browsing/db/v4_rice.cc
- -
#error The code below assumes little-endianness.Done
- 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 BEDone
- 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
- Partition allocator
- base/allocator/partition_allocator/partition_freelist_entry.h
- - A different pointer transformation function is used on BE compared to on LE. This is not an issue in itself, but it exposes a bug that NULL pointers are sometimes not transformed when they ought to be (the LE transformation function is unity for NULL).
- Pickle
- base/pickle.cc
- -
ReadBool accesses serialized bools as "bool" (8 bit) despite WriteBool serializing them as "int" (32 bit)Done
- SHA1
- base/sha1.cc
- -
Contains some byteswaps which should only happen on little endianDone
- Url
- url/url_canon_host.cc
- -
Uses a reinterpret_cast to get an unsigned char pointer into an unsigned int, for no good reason.Done
- Aura
- ui/aura/mus/os_exchange_data_provider_mus.cc
- -
Outputs UTF-16 in native byte order (which is probably correct), but hardcodes an LE BOM.Done
- Unit tests
- base/memory/shared_memory_mapping_unittest.cc, base/metrics/bucket_ranges_unittest.cc, and base/strings/string_number_conversions_unittest.cc
- -
These unit tests expose endianness in one way or another and need to be adjusted to run correctly on BEDone
- third_party/skia
- include/private/GrTypesPriv.h
- - #error "Skia gpu currently assumes little endian"
- src/opts/Sk4px_none.h

- src/opts/SkXfermode_opts.h

- -
Hardcoded swaps which need to be removed on BEDone
- crypto/fipsmodule/modes/polyval.c
- -
reverse_and_mulX_ghash does both byte-swapping and arithmetic. The order needs to be reversed on BE.Done
- crypto/poly1305/poly1305.c
- -
Defines specific LE access functions, but does not do any actual serialization or swapping in them.Done
- crypto/curve25519/spake25519.c and third_party/fiat/curve25519.c
- -
The arithmetic operations on LE data (addition, comparison) need swaps on BE.Done
- crypto/evp/scrypt.c

Counter and length fields need swapping on BE.Done
- crypto/compiler_test.cc
- -
There is a test which deliberately fails if the host is not LE...Done

- renderer/platform/graphics/gpu/webgl_image_conversion_test.cc
- -
The BE version of a test vector has a misspelled variable name.Done
- renderer/platform/graphics/highcontrast/highcontrast_classifier.cc
- -
The TensorFlow floating point parameters are initialized from a series of bytes. Should be initialized from floating point values instead to remove endianness (and floating point format) dependencies.Done
- third_party/flatbuffers/src
- include/flatbuffers/base.h
- -
The ByteSwap code does not work on C++11 due to the default constructor of the unions getting deletedDone
- include/flatbuffers/minireflect.h
- -
