Reland of Linux: Disable DBus auto-launch (patchset #1 id:1 of https:…
…//codereview.chromium.org/2869843003/ ) Reason for reland: Adding TSan suppression. The race is independent of this CL, see crbug.com/719633 Original issue's description: > Revert of Linux: Disable DBus auto-launch (patchset #1 id:1 of https://codereview.chromium.org/2861163002/ ) > > Reason for revert: > Speculative revert -- the TSan bots have been reporting a data race when setting Envvars (in this case, appending to the python path to start a websocket server). The race appeared immediately after this patch landed, so it may be legitimate. Reverting this to see if it clears the failures up; if so, we'll probably just have to serialize the calls to setenv. > > Filed crbug.com/719633 for this as well. > > Original issue's description: > > Linux: Disable DBus auto-launch > > > > This is a workaround (ETA ~ 2-3 years) for libdbus not being multi-threading > > friendly and causing random hangs when running chrome outside of Linux > > desktop environments. > > > > Background: > > ----------- > > Typically, Linux desktop environments set the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS > > environment variable. This variable allows the dbus client library to > > directly connect to the existing bus, which is started by the desktop > > environment or systemd. > > When this variable is missing, the dbus client library will fallback > > to auto-launch mode [1], which causes 4 nested fork() + exec() calls. > > Doing this has two problems: (i) slows down startup; (ii) can hang > > the browser if the fork() happens while another thread is in a malloc() > > (Chrome's tcmalloc has no at-fork handlers). > > This situation (no env variable) is very common in test scenarios > > (browsertests, chromedriver, etc). > > > > Change introduced by this CL: > > ----------------------------- > > This CL sets the bus address env variable to "disabled:" if not set. > > This effectively shuts down the dbus auto-launch.
