Store proxy settings in LocalState instead of Profile, so that proxy is used for SimpleURLLoaders as well;
this implementation is the same as the one in ChromeOS which gets proxy information from the LocalState
for the system network context; this is strictly not correct on Android because the network context is
never connected to any user profile and only gets proxy information from the system.
Existing settings on Profile are migrated to LocalState on startup.

File: [Add-lifetime-options-for-permissions.patch](/build/patches/Add-lifetime-options-for-permissions.patch)
Author: uazo
Context:
License: GPL-3.0-only |Indicate the session mode for content-settings by using the constraint `content_settings::SessionModel` as
UserSession when setting the value, and also make use of an expiration time value.
This is used in Chromium for `ClientHints` but it is generally possible to use this functionality when a
specific value needs to be persisted by origin.
All content settings of this type are not saved on disk (except for the `Forever` option), allowing user to
reset the status each time application is restarted.
There are 4 main areas affected to introduce the functionality:
* components/content_settings
A new `content_settings::LifetimeMode` enum value is defined to specify the user's
choice (Always, OnlyThisTime, UntilOriginClosed, UntilBrowserClosed).
Enumeration is also generated for java by adding it in `content_settings_enums_javagen` (gn).
This is mainly used in `content_settings_utils.cc` to create a specialised `content_settings::ContentSettingConstraints`
that is then used in `SetContentSettingDefaultScope()` by `PermissionContextBase::UpdateContentSetting`.
Existing Chromium data structures do not provide a specific property to define a choice which is instead encoded through
the `ContentSettingConstraints`; this approach is already used in other parts of the Chromium codebase so it is not
novel here.
Therefore, `content_settings::GetConstraintSessionExpiration()` and `content_settings::IsConstraintSessionExpiration()`
manage the lifetime modes of the session content-settings.
The modification also adds the session pattern to the ContentSettingPatternSource so that it is available for the UI.
* components/permissions
Lifetime support is added to the permissions; most of the changes are caused by the fact that it is necessary to report
the value selected by the user from the Java UI managed by `components/browser_ui` up to
`PermissionContextBase::UpdateContentSetting()`, without necessarily having to modify all requests that are not
related to geolocation/camera/microphone. The approach used is a new
`PermissionRequest::PermissionDecidedCallbackWithLifetime` used by an overload of
`PermissionContextBase::CreatePermissionRequest` so that options are present only for the specific content-settings
(see `PermissionDialogModel.java`).
For other permissions no behaviour is changed (see `PermissionDialogDelegate::Accept`); for geolocation it was
necessary to act directly in the specific context, because, unlike microphone/camera, the content-setting value is
inserted in its specific method (`FinishNotifyPermissionSet`, that calls the callback), even if the class always
derives from `PermissionContextBase`.
* components/page_info
Some changes needed to see in the summary of the `page_info` the text "(only this session)"
(aka `page_info_android_permission_session_permission`) through adding a new property "is_user_session" in
`PageInfoPermissionEntry` (Java).
* components/browser_ui
Changes to the Settings UI to show "(only this session)" in the specific content-setting.
The same view is used both in the settings and in the page_info.
For the management of `UntilOriginClosed` the logic used by flag `kOneTimeGeolocationPermission` was used; this flag
is active only in the desktop (files `last_tab_standing_tracker_*`). It is a class that manages a list of the active
origins and allows to perform operations when all the tabs relating to that origin have been closed, in this case
deleting the session content settings of `UntilOriginClosed`.

License: GPL-2.0-or-later |Experimental use of the OfflineDetector to identify network change, disabled by default.
If it is active, when the network change is detected by the android API,

Technically, blink's freeze mode is exploited, which allows javascript
execution and network calls to be blocked.
A preventive shutdown of all service workers is carried out, to inhibit the sending
of messages over the new ip, since the service workers have access
to the background fetch api.
The freeze and resume event of javascript is deliberately left, since the
page could deduct it in any case. In any case during the execution of
the javascript events, the page can only access the FetchLater api,
which is disabled by another patch.
The patch also changes the standard behaviour of the browser, allowing visible pages to freeze.
This could lead to the failure of some DCHECKS related to the handling of UI messages at unfreeze,
but since the goal is a reboot, this should not be the case.|

Sessions are not currently saved to disk in Chromium (although

privacy risk (2h for TLS 1.2 and 7 days for TLS 1.3) if user
does not frequently close the browser.
Since session information is not kept in the HTTP cache it is
not cleared when deleting navigation data (although it is possible
to clear it by selecting "passwords").
Two new user configurable flags are introduced:
* kDisableTLSResumption, active by default
* kLogTLSResumption, that would allow to find in logcat reused
sessions in lines matching "SSL Log:"

|**Enable -fwrapv in Clang for non-UBSan builds**

File: [Enable-fwrapv-in-Clang-for-non-UBSan-builds.patch](/build/patches/Enable-fwrapv-in-Clang-for-non-UBSan-builds.patch)
Author: Daniel
Context:
License: GPL-3.0-only |Using -fwrapv (notably only when not using signed integer overflow checking -
since it will override it and result in not performing checks) is just common
sense since it eliminates the chance of security vulnerabilities being
introduced by optimizations based on signed overflow being undefined.
That has happened before, and those optimizations don't even add up to a 0.1%
performance increase for this kind of software. It's not worth having.
The Linux kernel passes -fwrapv and also -fno-strict-aliasing to disable those
dangerous optimizations (since there is so much incorrect code they can break).
In fact, it is easy to point to dozens of known examples of invalid code that
could potentially be broken by those optimizations.
It is not acceptable for projects to be using optimizations that are known to
be broken with a bunch of code in their tree.
They put barely any effort into even fixing the known cases.
Chromium has blacklists for UBSan for 'false positives' (none of which are
actually false positives, but rather "undefined, but not a bug beyond
potentially being broken by optimizations or even code generation without
them") and also for components too full of these bugs for them to currently
want to bother with it. That includes a bunch of signed overflow issues
(there is sadly no detection for aliasing violations, which are fairly common,
but not that common).
Ideally, -fwrapv could be always passed, but unfortunately the way it is
implemented has silly interactions with other switches.
The reason it would still make sense to pass it is because due to their UBSan
blacklists, they get far from full coverage with it, so -fwrapv would still
be better than nothing where it's not being used.
Since -fwrapv makes signed integer overflow well-defined, Clang will disable
the UBSan checks for signed integer overflow, including in the
production-oriented trapping mode used for hardening.
