Source/cmake/WebKitFeatures.cmake.
While here also disable ENABLE_C_LOOP when ENABLE_JIT is enabled
(the two options are incompatible).
Should workaround PR pkg/54109.
(No PKGREVISION bump since it should only fix platforms where since

Subject: [PATCH] Fix DFG doesGC() for CompareEq/Less/LessEq/Greater/GreaterEq
and CompareStrictEq nodes. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194800
<rdar://problem/48183773>
Reviewed by Yusuke Suzuki.
Fix doesGC() for the following nodes:
CompareEq:
CompareLess:
CompareLessEq:
CompareGreater:
CompareGreaterEq:
CompareStrictEq:
Only return false (i.e. does not GC) for child node use kinds that have
been vetted to not do anything that can GC. For all other use kinds
(including StringUse and BigIntUse), we return true (i.e. does GC).
* dfg/DFGDoesGC.cpp:
(JSC::DFG::doesGC):
This was published alongside with exploit code claiming it is remote
code execution, but I don't understand what the exploit is doing.
bump PKGREVISION
pkgsrc changes:
- Set USE_GCC_RUNTIME to depends on gcc6-libs when pkgsrc gcc is used
(XXX: Not tested and not clear if currently mk/compiler/gcc.mk DTRT
XXX: regarding (if not, that's probably why firefox/mozilla-common.mk
XXX: abuses USE_PKGSRC_GCC_RUNTIME!))
Changes:
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.6
=================
- Make kinetic scrolling slow down smoothly when reaching the ends of
pages, instead of abruptly, to better match the GTK+ behaviour.
- Fix Web inspector magnifier under Wayland.
- Fix garbled rendering of some websites (e.g. YouTube) while scrolling
under X11.
- Fix several crashes, race conditions, and rendering issues.
- The flex requirements can be just satisfied via USE_TOOLS (the
version was from older webkit-gtk-s and it should be just a tool
dependency).
- No need to specify `:build' in USE_TOOLS, it is already the default
- Update the comment regarding PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE definition
Bump PKGREVISION
Changes:
2.22.5

- Improved the logic to determine for which architectures to enable
the JIT compiler support and USE_SYSTEM_MALLOC at build time.
- Fix the build with ENABLE_VIDEO=OFF and ENABLE_OPENGL=OFF.
- Fix several crashes.

- Fix the build with -DLOG_DISABLED=0.

- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
Import/adapt patches from FreeBSD to fix the build on aarch64.
Thanks to <jakllsch>!
XXX: (There is a compiler warning about m_compareRegister bitfield
XXX: that's probably needs XXX: further investigation the `: 6' should
XXX: be probably `: 7')
Changes:
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.3
=================
- Many improvements and fixes for video playback with media source
extensions (MSE), which improve the user experience across the board,
and in particular for playback of WebM videos.
- Fix a memory leak during media playback when using playbin3.
- Fix portions of Web views not being rendered after resizing.
- Fix Resource Timing reporting for <iframe> elements.
- Fix the build with the remote Web Inspector disabled.
- Fix the build on ARMv7 with NEON extensions.
- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
On NetBSD there is no <sys/sysinfo.h> but we can use hw.usermem64.
This should address WebKitGTK+ support for NetBSD ports where
USE_SYSTEM_MALLOC is by default OFF.
Side-note: on NetBSD/amd64 -current when building with -DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=ON
both SunSpider and JetStream benchmarks shows a very little performance penalty,
so also remove the `-DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=ON' commented out CMAKE_ARGS (i.e. when
possible just use the preferred malloc).
pkgsrc changes:
- Bump GCC_REQD to 6 (now gcc 6.0.0 or newer is needed)
- Add NetBSD support for JavaScript JIT on x86_64, i386, arm,
aarch64 and mips
- Add WebKitWebProcess and jsc to NOT_PAX_MPROTECT_SAFE.
At least on NetBSD/amd64, running SunSpider 1.0.2 JavaScript Benchmark
(<https://webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html>) with MiniBrowser
before `paxctl +m'-ing them needed:
Total: 1006.9ms +/- 0.7%
...while after `paxctl +m'-ing them:
Total: 322.3ms +/- 3.0%
(Probably EACCESS due PaX MPROTECT are handled gracefully and
silently instead of failing hard at runtime.)
Please also note that webkit-gtk browsers should not need any
NOT_PAX_MPROTECT_SAFE because WebKitWebProcess is used and already
have that.
- Improve handling of `webkit-jit' by introducing a
WEBKIT_JIT_MACHINE_PLATFORMS list that contain all MACHINE_PLATFORMs
triplets that have `webkit-jit' option as suggested one.
- Always use OS(...) and BOS(...) macros instead of __Os__ macros for
consistency with webkit code.
- Add definition for BOS(SOLARIS) and OS(SOLARIS) and add it to the
OS(UNIX) OSes list.
- Limit patch-Source_JavaScriptCore_jit_ExecutableAllocator.cpp to
OpenBSD. It is no longer present in FreeBSD ports and it is not
problematic in NetBSD.
- Remove no longer needed patch-Source_WTF_wtf_ThreadSpecific.h:
NetBSD 5.x was already part of NOT_FOR_PLATFORM.
- Sync patch-CMakeLists.txt with FreeBSD ports.
Please note that this also removes WTF_CPU_SPARC64 definition that was
unused.
- madvise(2) on {Free,DragonFly,Net,Open}BSD supports MADV_FREE and
MADV_DONTNEED flags. Define the corresponding HAVE_* via
patch-Source_WTF_wtf_Platform.h.
- Use globbing for REPLACE_{PERL,PYTHON} where possible.
Changes:
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.2
=================
- Several fixes for video playback with media source extensions (MSE).
This allows using WebM support for YouTube, which no longer works through
regular video source. Note that MSE is still disabled by default and
webkit_settings_set_enable_mediasource() has to be used to enable the
feature.
- Fix the build when only Wayland support is enabled and X11 headers are
not available.
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.1
=================
- Fix printing in landscape.
- Fix the build in several platforms: s390x, ppc64le, armv7hl.
- Fix the build with a11y disabled.
- Fix the build with video disabled.
- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.0
==================

- Make pinch to zoom scale the page without changing the layout.
- Fix the build in mips64.
