    Reland "[base] Add new API to protect data memory" · e44c745d
    Clemens Backes authored
    This is a reland of commit 9d36b2dd.
    The test case is fixed to actually protect a part of the data section
    instead of the stack (which was unintended and could lead to segfaults).
    
    Original change's description:
    > [base] Add new API to protect data memory
    >
    > This adds a new {base::OS::SetDataReadOnly} method, which is similar to
    > {SetPermissions(kRead)}, but using another system call on Windows such
    > that it works on pages in the data segment.
    > {VirtualAlloc} will fail if called on a page of the data section,
    > whereas {VirtualProtect} succeeds. For the general {SetPermissions}
    > API we still want to use {VirtualAlloc} though, as it also changes the "committed" state of the pages.
    >
    > Note that we do not add a platform API for this, as the memory was
    > never allocated through the platform. We just directly protect it in
    > V8.
