1619466 - DllBlocklist entries in BROWSER_PROCESS are blocked in the child process

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Launcher Process, defect, P3)

Description

[Toshihito Kikuchi [:toshi]]

Our blocklist consists of ALL_PROCESSES, BROWSER_PROCESS, and CHILD_PROCESSES in WindowsDllBlocklistDefs.in. Contrary to the name, entries of BROWSER_PROCESS are blocked not only in the browser process but also in the child process. On the other hand, entries of CHILD_PROCESSES are blocked only in the child process.

I think the variable BROWSER_PROCESS is a placeholder to define a new blocklist variable which is commented out for now.

Since 73, we activate the same blocklist in the content process. We could implement BROWSER_PROCESS in the same way as CHILD_PROCESSES works.

Attachment: Bug 1619466 - Make the blocklist variable BROWSER_PROCESS work. r=aklotz

The blocklist variable BROWSER_PROCESS did not work as expected. Entries
defined there were blocked not only in the browser process but also in the
child process.

This patch makes sure entries in BROWSER_PROCESS are blocked only in the
browser process.
