    [release-branch.go1.6] crypto/x509: read Darwin trust settings for root CAs · 7a75a55c
    Quentin Smith authored
    Darwin separately stores bits indicating whether a root certificate
    should be trusted; this changes Go to read and use those when
    initializing SystemCertPool.
    
    Unfortunately, the trust API is very slow. To avoid a delay of up to
    0.5s in initializing the system cert pool, we assume that
    the trust settings found in kSecTrustSettingsDomainSystem will always
    indicate trust. (That is, all root certs Apple distributes are trusted.)
    This is not guaranteed by the API but is true in practice.
    
    In the non-cgo codepath, we do not have that benefit, so we must check
    the trust status of every certificate. This causes about 0.5s of delay
    in initializing the SystemCertPool.
    
    On OS X 10.11 and older, the "security" command requires a certificate
    to be provided in a file and not on stdin, so the non-cgo codepath
    creates temporary files for each certificate, further slowing initialization.
    
    Updates #18141.
