This is a complete rewrite of RemoteLazyInputStream to run off of its own
toplevel protocol, rather than being managed by other protocols like
PBackground or PContent. This should improve performance thanks to no longer
needing to operate on a main or worker thread, and due to no longer needing the
migration step for the stream actor.
This also acts as a step towards no longer requiring a manager actor to
serialize input streams, as the type is now actor-agnostic, and should support
being sent over IPC between any pair of processes.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D141040
This interface should no longer be required due to the changes in part 1
limiting the complexity of IPCStream instances and limiting the number of file
descriptors which a single stream can attach to a message.
Removing this interface is necessary to serialize nsIInputStream instances over
arbitrary toplevel protocols and non-protocol IPC in the future.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D141039
This gives us various positive benefits, such as using a shared memory ring
buffer for faster communication, not having data streaming being bound to the
thread which transferred the nsIInputStream (which is often the main thread),
and the ability for some backpressure to be applied to data streaming.
After this change, the "delayed start" parameter for IPCStream serialization is
less relevant, as backpressure will serve a similar purpose. It will still be
used to determine whether or not to use RemoteLazyInputStream when serializing
from the parent process.

This patch introduces ipcclientcerts, a PKCS#11 module that the socket process
can load to get access to client certificates and keys managed by the parent
process. This enables client certificate authentication to work with the socket
process (particularly for keys stored outside of NSS, as with osclientcerts or
third-party PKCS#11 modules).

To allow `requestAnimationFrame()` and similar things to run at monitor
speed if there is only a window-specific vsyncsource available.
This is the case for Wayland and, in the future, EGL/X11. Other backends
may opt for window specific vsyncsources as well at some point.
The idea is to, instead of using global vsync objects, expose a vsyncsource
from nsWindow and use it for refresh drivers. For the content process, move
VsyncChild to BrowserChild, so for each Browserchild there is only one
VsyncChild to which all refresh drivers connect.
IPC in managed either by PBrowser or PBackground. Right now, PBrowser is
only used on Wayland, as both PBrowser and the Wayland vsyncsource run
on the main thread. Other backends keep using the background thread for
now.
While at it, make it so that we constantly update the refresh rate. This
is necessary for Wayland, but also on other platforms variable refresh rates
are increasingly common. Do that by transimitting the vsync rate `SendNotify()`.
How to test:
- run the Wayland backend
- enable `widget.wayland_vsync.enabled`
- optionally: disable `privacy.reduceTimerPrecision`
- run `vsynctester.com` or `testufo.com`
Expected results:
Instead of fixed 60Hz, things should update at monitor refresh rate -
e.g. 144Hz
