Chromium on POWER

=============

This repository contains a set of patches that allow the Chromium browser

to build and run on ppc64le hosts. 

In addition, this repository contains an interactive utility for

automatically applying and rebasing patches to a given chromium source tree.

Layout

----

Individual patches are roughly grouped by the part of chromium they modify.

For example, patches for the sandbox system can be found in the `sandbox` folder.

`patches.json` contains a manifest of all of the patches. In this file,

patches are grouped by the directory that they must be applied in, relative

to the chromium source directory. 

For example, patches under `"."` are to be applied in the root chromium source

directory, and patches under `"v8"` are to be applied in `/v8`.

Chromium Patching Framework

----------------

`cpf.py` contains the Chromium Patching Framework, an interactive utility for

applying and rebasing patches to a given source tree.

To apply all patches listed in the manifest to a local copy of the chromium source tree,

do the following:

```

./cpf.py /path/to/chromium/tree

```

Example output:

```

[+] Applying "sandbox/0001-linux-seccomp-bpf-ppc64-glibc-workaround-in-SIGSYS-h.patch"... Success

[+] Applying "sandbox/0001-sandbox-Enable-seccomp_bpf-for-ppc64.patch"... Success

[+] Applying "sandbox/0001-sandbox-linux-bpf_dsl-Update-syscall-ranges-for-ppc6.patch"... Success

[+] Applying "sandbox/0001-sandbox-linux-Implement-partial-support-for-ppc64-sy.patch"... Success

```

If an error is encountered, you will be prompted with the following options:

```

[?] The following patch failed to apply:

 * /example/example.patch

What would you like to do?

 (F)ix the conflict manually

 (S)kip the patch

 (A)bort

Choice? [A]:

```

You may fix the conflict manually by following the on-screen prompts, skip the

patch, or abort the application.

If you encounter a patch that fails to apply against the latest chromium git HEAD,

please submit an issue. Alternatively, if you are able to fix it yourself, please

do so and submit a Pull Request.
