DescriptionEnable Control Flow Integrity for the official Linux Chrome.
This CL turns on CFI, a security check:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/testing/control-flow-integrity
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html
This feature enables LTO (Link-Time Optimization) builds, which slow down the linker by 3x-4x.
CFI also comes with a code size overhead of about 7%-9%. The runtime CPU cost is less than 1%,
and should not be an issue.
BUG=chromium:464797
Intent to Implement thread:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-dev/pbJqt6ccMII/7iJC2oklCAAJ
This is a fourth attempt to land the CL. Previous attempts:
https://codereview.chromium.org/1502373003/
https://codereview.chromium.org/1501593003/
https://codereview.chromium.org/1393283005/
The last time it failed, it was https://crbug.com/567637
(mismatched deps expectations for the installer).
Fixing the expectations.
