Lei Zhang 4ab0f932f4 Remove unneeded base/stl_util.h includes in various dirs.
Repeatedly use grep to find all the files in various dirs that includes
base/stl_util.h but do not use any functions provided by
base/stl_util.h and base/cxx*_backports.h, and then remove the
base/stl_util.h include from them. Files that include base/stl_util.h,
but actually needs base/cxx*_backports.h, will be dealt with separately.

Sandbox Library

This directory contains platform-specific sandboxing libraries. Sandboxing is a technique that can improve the security of an application by separating untrustworthy code (or code that handles untrustworthy data) and restricting its privileges and capabilities.

Each platform relies on the operating system's process primitive to isolate code into distinct security principals, and platform-specific technologies are used to implement the privilege reduction. At a high-level:

  • mac/ uses the Seatbelt sandbox. See the detailed design for more.
  • linux/ uses namespaces and Seccomp-BPF. See the detailed design for more.
  • win/ uses a combination of restricted tokens, distinct job objects, alternate desktops, and integrity levels. See the detailed design for more.

Built on top of the low-level sandboxing library is the //sandbox/policy component, which provides concrete policies and helper utilities for sandboxing specific Chromium processes and services. The core sandbox library cannot depend on the policy component.
