Alex Gough 3c9bf7837a Use sandbox delegate to indicate CET compatibility.
On Windows some processes are not CET compatible but most are. This
adds a CetCompatible method to the sandbox delegate to indicate CET
compatibility. Before this CL the renderer was special cased, but
is now controlled by a delegate. CET remains disabled for the renderer.

This CL also adds to the NaCl delegate to return false as
NaClSyscallCSegHook swaps stacks in a non-compliant manner. This is
new behavior but should (partly) fix 1173919.

This change should only affect Windows 20H1 or later running on Intel
11th gen CPUs.

Tests: browser_tests (including NaCl*) on supporting hardware
Bug: 1173919

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.
