eldritch horrors e6cd67591b libexpr: rewrite the parser with pegtl instead of flex/bison
this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.

this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.

test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:

  - 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
  - 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
  - equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
    (excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)

more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

jade 1245340e44 packaging: don't build internal api docs by default in dev shells
These are totally available and you can just turn them on, but they have
very bad dependency tracking and thus bloat incremental change times,

vigress8 c7af89c797 change shebangs of all .sh scripts to bash
On operating systems where /bin/sh is not Bash, some scripts are invalid
because of bashisms, and building Lix fails with errors like this:
`render-manpage.sh: 3: set: Illegal option -o pipefail`
This modifies all scripts that use a `/bin/sh` shebang to `/usr/bin/env
bash`, including currently POSIX-compliant ones, to prevent any future
confusion.

jade d5637ee790 devShell: guard against running from another directory
I was working on nix-eval-jobs with a dev shell with some shenanigans to
run against a locally built Lix and it was getting really annoying when
`nix develop ../lix#` was messing up my other git repo's hooks.

This is a fix via blunt force, but it is at least obvious how it works.

jade 068576042b packaging: Move binaryTarball to a passthru attr in package.nix
This is motivated by flakes being bad and all the stuff that calls
things by "system" being utterly unable to cope with cross compilation.
So if we go shove it in package.nix it is suddenly usable from cross
contexts.

Usage:

```
nix build -L .#nix-riscv64-linux.binaryTarball
```

Pierre Bourdon f7b6552699 [resubmit] flake: update nixpkgs pin 23.11->24.05 (+ boehmgc compat changes)
-- message from cl/1418 --

The boehmgc changes are bundled into this commit because doing otherwise
would require an annoying dance of "adding compatibility for < 8.2.6 and
>= 8.2.6" then updating the pin then removing the (now unneeded)
compatibility. It doesn't seem worth the trouble to me given the low
complexity of said changes.

Rebased coroutine-sp-fallback.diff patch taken from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317227

-- jade resubmit changes --

This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.

I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.

It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.

Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.

We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

jade 9aeb314e6a releng: support multiarch docker images
If we don't want to have separate registry tags by architecture (EWWWW),
we need to be able to build multiarch docker images. This is pretty
simple, and just requires making a manifest pointing to each of the
component images.

I was *going* to just do this API prodding with manifest-tool, but it
doesn't support putting metadata on the outer manifest, which is
actually kind of a problem because it then doesn't render the metadata
on github. So I guess we get a simple little containers API
implementation that is 90% auth code.

jade 0f99ed43f1 build-time: remove 20% more by PCH'ing C++ stdlib
It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago
and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all.

This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for
`#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and
as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly
just be free build time savings.

Previous state:
Compilation (551 times):
  Parsing (frontend):         1302.1 s
  Codegen & opts (backend):    956.3 s

New state:
**** Time summary:
Compilation (567 times):
  Parsing (frontend):         1123.0 s
  Codegen & opts (backend):   1078.1 s

I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH
operation a few times, because meson does it per-target.

Qyriad eac3546d50 package: return from shellHook correctly
If our shellHook is being run from a nested nix-shell (see 7a12bc200¹),
then (I think) it is run from a bash function due to the nesting, then
`return` is correct. If its `eval`'d though, then there isn't really a
correct way to early exit. So we can just unconditionally be executed in
a function.

Basically, we have IIFE at home.

terru - 7a12bc2007 package: don't run shellHook in nested nix-shells
If a nested nix-shell is run inside a nix-shell, then the outer shell's
shellHook will be passed through and run again, unless the nested shell
defines its own.

With lix's hook, this can be annoying: forgetting to exit its nix-shell,
cd'ing to another repository & entering a nested nix-shell will happily
install lix's pre-commit hook in it.

This change makes lix's hook return early in such cases.

jade d1fa446454 [emergency revert]: make pname nix once more
Embarrassingly, I submitted a CL overriding submit requirements since
I thought it was spurious failures. However, the CI failure was in fact
real, and I have hopefully learned my lesson. The CI failure is that:

```

This is definitely caused by the pname not being the same, so we had
better revert that part of the change until we know we won't regress
anything by doing this.

jade c97e17144e packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so on
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.

We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.

This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.

Migration path:
expr.hh      -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h

To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.

Then run the following for out of tree projects:

```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src

jade 7cfaf057e3 release-notes: build unreleased release notes by default
Surely if you have unreleased changes you want them on a page right?

`officialRelease` means "this is a *release version*", which is a
reasonable case to not want it, but we are not that here.

I understand wanting to be able to turn it off for deps reasons or
something, but other than that, uhh, seems better to just turn it on
always; it is basically free compute-wise to the point we run it on
pre-commit.

Part two of fixing lix#297.

Qyriad f782c8a60a flake: refactor devShell creation
Now instead of a derivation overridden from Lix, we use a mkShell
derivation parameterized on an already called package.nix. This also
lets callPackage take care of the buildPackages distinction for the
devShell.

Nikodem Rabuliński f894cce79b
Always initialize curl in parent process on darwin
Because of an objc quirk[1], calling curl_global_init for the first time
after fork() will always result in a crash.
Up until now the solution has been to set
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY for every nix process to ignore
that error.
This is less than ideal because we were setting it in package.nix,
which meant that running nix tests locally would fail because
that variable was not set.
Instead of working around that error we address it at the core -
by calling curl_global_init inside initLibStore, which should mean
curl will already have been initialized by the time we try to do so in
a forked process.

Maximilian Bosch 3580a4b7bf package: remove assert for libseccomp version
This has the following downsides:

* you cannot build Lix against nixos-unstable.
* this will immediately break as soon as libseccomp will hit
  nixos-23.11 (given that people will probably use the package.nix via
  our overlay or override nixpkgs via `follows`).

Hence, removing the assert again and add a better FIXME comment.

Maximilian Bosch 045ee37438 libstore/local-derivation-goal: prohibit creating setuid/setgid binaries
With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.

Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:

> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.

Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.

This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:

    $ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
    58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
    67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
    62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
    70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
    59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562

I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.

Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.

To work around that

* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
  scheduled[3].

* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
  provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
  away.

We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷
