Niklas Hambüchen 57daa860e8 autoconf: Fix C++17 detection not working on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably many other distributions.

Until now, ./configure would fail silently printing a warning

    ./configure: line 4621: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17: command not found

and then continuing, later failing with a C++ #error saying that some C++11
feature isn't supported (it didn't even get to the C++17 features).

This is because older distributions don't come with the
`AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17` m4 macro.

This commit vendors that macro accordingly.

Now ./configure complains correctly:

    configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required.

On Ubuntu 16.04, ./configure completes if a newer compiler is used, e.g. with
gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
using:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure CXX=g++-7 --disable-doc-gen --with-boost=$(nix-build --no-link '<nixpkgs>' -A boost.dev)

Niklas Hambüchen 1f97b16b1d autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases.

Also update manual stating what version is needed;
I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles,
and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release
that nix uses.

Niklas Hambüchen 00a450026f autoconf: Detect boost, require version, set CXXFLAGS.
This turns previous compiler errors complaining about missing files
into proper ./configure time errors telling the user which version
of boost is required.

Niklas Hambüchen 96cd3d6073 autoconf: Change quotes in description.
The unbalanced single-quotes cause many editor syntax highlighters
to interpret the rest of the file as a string literal, making it easier
to make syntax mistakes in absence of proper highlighting.

Mateusz Piotrowski e8b0efdcc9 Remove some bashisms from configure.ac
"configure.ac" is used to generate "configure", which is supposed to be
run with /bin/sh (as suggested by the shebang line of "configure"). As a
result it is a good idea to remove any /bin/sh-incompatible syntax from
configure.ac. Otherwise, systems that do not use Bash as their /bin/sh
are unable to run "configure" due to syntax errors.

Will Dietz 9dd2b8ac7b use libbrotli directly when available
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
  since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
  If neither are found, current runtime behavior
  is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
  to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
  Testing shows negligible performance impact.

Add a seccomp filter to prevent creating setuid/setgid binaries
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits,
preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid
binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid.

This is based on aszlig's seccomp code
(47f587700d).

Add build dependency for libseccomp
We're going to use libseccomp instead of creating the raw BPF program,
because we have different syscall numbers on different architectures.

Although our initial seccomp rules will be quite small it really doesn't
make sense to generate the raw BPF program because we need to duplicate
it and/or make branches on every single architecture we want to suuport.

Harald van Dijk 5451b8db9d Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possible
chroot only changes the process root directory, not the mount namespace root
directory, and it is well-known that any process with chroot capability can
break out of a chroot "jail". By using pivot_root as well, and unmounting the
original mount namespace root directory, breaking out becomes impossible.

Non-root processes typically have no ability to use chroot() anyway, but they
can gain that capability through the use of clone() or unshare(). For security
reasons, these syscalls are limited in functionality when used inside a normal
chroot environment. Using pivot_root() this way does allow those syscalls to be
put to their full use.

Eelco Dolstra e0def5bc4b Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA
signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now
specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’.

The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and
prints a public and secret key.

Eelco Dolstra a583a2bc59 Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the
daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode:

$ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m0.974s
user    0m0.875s
sys     0m0.088s

$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m2.118s
user    0m1.463s
sys     0m0.218s

The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved
to a different CPU after every call to the worker.  This patch adds a
hack to lock them to the same CPU.  With this, the overhead of going
through the daemon is very small:

$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m1.074s
user    0m0.809s
sys     0m0.098s

vfork() is just too weird.  For instance, in this build:

the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even
though the child only reads from it.  At -O0 the problem goes away.
Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable.
