Linux: Add ability to reset stack canaries after fork

Stack protectors remain the same after forking, so reading the stack
protector in one process (e.g. a renderer) reveals to an attacker the
stack protector of the ancestor zygote and its children, including
future children.

This CL adds the capability to reset stack canaries after fork, which
requires the functions already on the call stack to be compiled without
stack protectors (or else they will use the original canary and crash
on return).

A command line flag is added to enable the behavior, which will be added
by default to the chrome command line in a future CL.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
