Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Run unit tests (including browser tests) on a Windows system without High Performance Counter/Timer support. This can be simulated by changing this if statement in InitializeNowFunctionPointer() in base/time/time_win.cc from

 if (!QueryPerformanceFrequency(&ticks_per_sec))

to

 if (true || !QueryPerformanceFrequency(&ticks_per_sec))

What is the expected behavior?
The tests should pass

What went wrong?
Many tests fails.

In Vivaldi we have disabled approximately 100 tests for this reason because they pass when run locally, but fail on our Windows testers, but also fail when simulating missing HPC.

Did this work before? N/A

Vivaldi is running our Windows testers on VMs hosted in a KVM VM manager system, on a Ubuntu host running on Xeon processor blades.

We have determined that a number of tests fails due to HPC support being disabled on these VMs (by simulating the missing HPC support on local developer machines). In total we have currently disabled ~100 tests for this reason, with new ones being added with each chromium source upgrade.

Attempts to simulate HPC support not just failed, but caused other functionality and tests to break.

These failures may indicate the existence of hard to reproduce bugs that only occur on hardware (or VMs) with CPUs that does not support HPC.

Our current list of disabled tests is included below. It may contain tests that have been removed (it's been a while since this list was last cleared of such tests). It is almost certainly not complete, since we are not running all the test used by the Chromium builders.
