Kasper Gałkowski 2c2fd4946f don't assume that rev is a SHA1 hash
This was a problem when writing a fetcher that uses e.g. sha256 hashes
for revisions. This doesn't actually do anything new, but allows for
creating such fetchers in the future (perhaps when support for Git's
SHA256 object format gains more popularity).

Cole Helbling 56009b2639 libutil: don't save cwd fd, use path instead
Saving the cwd fd didn't actually work well -- prior to this commit, the
following would happen:

    : ~/w/vc/nix ; doas outputs/out/bin/nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' run nixpkgs#coreutils -- --coreutils-prog=pwd
    pwd: couldn't find directory entry in ‘../../../..’ with matching i-node

aszlig 435848cef1 libutil: Fix restoring mount namespace
I regularly pass around simple scripts by using nix-shell as the script
interpreter, eg. like this:

    #!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
    #!nix-shell -p dd_rescue coreutils bash -i bash

While this works most of the time, I recently had one occasion where it
would not and the above would result in the following:

    $ sudo ./myscript.sh
    bash: ./myscript.sh: No such file or directory

Note the "sudo" here, because this error only occurs if we're root.

The reason for the latter is because running Nix as root means that we
can directly access the store, which makes sure we use a filesystem
namespace to make the store writable. XXX - REWORD!

So when stracing the process, I stumbled on the following sequence:

    openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/ns/mnt", O_RDONLY) = 3
    unshare(CLONE_NEWNS)                            = 0
    ... later ...
    getcwd("/the/real/cwd", 4096)                   = 14
    setns(3, CLONE_NEWNS)                           = 0
    getcwd("/", 4096)                               = 2

In the whole strace output there are no calls to chdir() whatsoever, so
I decided to look into the kernel source to see what else could change
directories and found this[1]:

    /* Update the pwd and root */
    set_fs_pwd(fs, &root);
    set_fs_root(fs, &root);

The set_fs_pwd() call is roughly equivalent to a chdir() syscall and
this is called when the setns() syscall is invoked[2].

Merge pull request #6227 from NixOS/impure-derivations-ng
Impure derivations
2022-03-31 19:58:35 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 5cd72598fe Add support for impure derivations
Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result
every time they're built. Example:

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "impure";
    __impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
    outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
    outputHashMode = "recursive";
    buildCommand = "date > $out";
  };

Some important characteristics:

* This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature.

* Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on
  the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time.

* They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is
  moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is
  that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database.

* Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In
  the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on
  impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the
  dependency graph.

* When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the
  network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed
  sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.

libfetchers/path: set lastModified to path's mtime
When importing e.g. a local `nixpkgs` in a flake to test a change like

    {
      inputs.nixpkgs.url = path:/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs;
      outputs = /* ... */
    }

then the input is missing a `lastModified`-field that's e.g. used in
`nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`. Due to the missing `lastMoified`-field, the
mtime is set to 19700101:

    result -> /nix/store/b7dg1lmmsill2rsgyv2w7b6cnmixkvc1-nixos-system-nixos-22.05.19700101.dirty

With this change, the `path`-fetcher now sets a `lastModified` attribute
to the `mtime` just like it's the case in the `tarball`-fetcher already.
When building NixOS systems with `nixpkgs` being a `path`-input and this
patch, the output-path now looks like this:

    result -> /nix/store/ld2qf9c1s98dxmiwcaq5vn9k5ylzrm1s-nixos-system-nixos-22.05.20220217.dirty
2022-03-15 12:32:11 +01:00
Sergei Trofimovich 6b1872312f nix store gc: account for auto-optimised store
Before the change on a system with `auto-optimise-store = true`:

    $ nix store gc --verbose --max 1

deleted all the paths instead of one path (we requested 1 byte limit).

It happens because every file in `auto-optimise-store = true` has at
least 2 links: file itself and a link in /nix/store/.links/ directory.

The change conservatively assumes that any file that has one (as before)
or two links (assume auto-potimise mode) will free space.

pennae 47baa9d43c make Pos smaller
reduces peak hep memory use on eval of our test system from 264.4MB to 242.3MB,
possibly also a slight performance boost.

theoretically memory use could be cut down by another eight bytes per Pos on
average by turning it into a tuple containing an index into a global base
position table with row and column offsets, but that doesn't seem worth the
effort at this point.

No real need for keeping a separate header for such a simple class.

This requires changing a bit `OrSuggestions<T>::operator*` to not throw
an `Error` to prevent a cyclic dependency. But since this error is only
thrown on programmer error, we can replace the whole method by a direct
call to `std::get` which will raise its own assertion if needs be.

John Ericson 6636202356 Factor out a GcStore interface
Starts progress on #5729.

The idea is that we should not have these default methods throwing
"unimplemented". This is a small step in that direction.

I kept `addTempRoot` because it is a no-op, rather than failure. Also,
as a practical matter, it is called all over the place, while doing
other tasks, so the downcasting would be annoying.

Maybe in the future I could move the "real" `addTempRoot` to `GcStore`,
and the existing usecases use a `tryAddTempRoot` wrapper to downcast or
do nothing, but I wasn't sure whether that was a good idea so with a
bias to less churn I didn't do it yet.

libstore/derivation-goal: avoid double-parsing of JSON messages
To avoid that JSON messages are parsed twice in case of
remote builds with `ssh-ng://`, I split up the original
`handleJSONLogMessage` into three parts:

* `parseJSONMessage(const std::string&)` checks if it's a message in the
  form of `@nix {...}` and tries to parse it (and prints an error if the
  parsing fails).
* `handleJSONLogMessage(nlohmann::json&, ...)` reads the fields from the
  message and passes them to the logger.
* `handleJSONLogMessage(const std::string&, ...)` behaves as before, but
  uses the two functions mentioned above as implementation.

In case of `ssh-ng://`-logs the first two methods are invoked manually.

Sergei Trofimovich 3ec02deb20 Make sure no exceptions leave ignoreException()
I noticed that occasional Ctrl-C leaves *.lock files around.
`nix-daemon`'s journal logs contained crashes like:

    nix-daemon[30416]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nix::SysError'
    nix-daemon[30416]:   what():  error: writing to file: Broken pipe

And core dump backtraces pointed at `teriminate()` call from
destructors:

    ...
    _Unwind_Resume ()
    nix::ignoreException() ()
    nix::LocalDerivationGoal::~LocalDerivationGoal()
    ...

    void ignoreException()
    {
        try {
            throw;
        } catch (std::exception & e) {
            printError("error (ignored): %1%", e.what());
        }
    }

The crashes happen when client side closes early and printError() throws
an IO error.

The change wraps `ignoreException()` into blanket `try { ... } catch (...) {}`.

Robert Hensing c3b942e0fc Don't hold interruptCallbacks lock during interrupt handling
This changes the representation of the interrupt callback list to
be safe to use during interrupt handling.

Holding a lock while executing arbitrary functions is something to
avoid in general, because of the risk of deadlock.

Such a deadlock occurs in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3294
where ~CurlDownloader tries to deregister its interrupt callback.

This happens during what seems to be a triggerInterrupt() by the
daemon connection's MonitorFdHup thread. This bit I can not confirm
based on the stack trace though; it's based on reading the code,
so no absolute certainty, but a smoking gun nonetheless.

pennae 34e3bd10e3 avoid copies of parser input data
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated
location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the
parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having
two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have
the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present.

there's a couple places that can be easily converted from using strings to using

Guillaume Maudoux e9a4abdb5d Make --repair-path also repair corrupt optimised links
There already existed a smoke test for the link content length,
but it appears that there exists some corruptions pernicious enough
to replace the file content with zeros, and keeping the same length.

--repair-path now goes as far as checking the content of the link,
making it true to its name and actually repairing the path for such
coruption cases.

pennae 26a8b220eb avoid ostream sentries per json string character
we don't have to create an ostream sentry object for every character of a JSON
string we write. format a bunch of characters and flush them to the stream all
at once instead.

this doesn't affect small numbers of string characters, but larger numbers of
total JSON string characters written gain a lot. at 1MB of total string written
we gain almost 30%, at 16MB it's almost a factor of 3x. large numbers of JSON
string characters do occur naturally in a nixos system evaluation to generate
documentation (though this is now somewhat mitigated by caching the largest part
of nixos option docs).

regnat af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

Yorick fcb8af550f
Restore parent mount namespace in restoreProcessContext
This ensures any started processes can't write to /nix/store (except
during builds). This partially reverts 01d07b1e, which happened because
of #2646.

The problem was only happening after nix downloads anything, causing
me to suspect the download thread. The problem turns out to be:
"A  process  can't  join a new mount namespace if it is sharing
filesystem-related attributes with another process", in this case this
process is the curl thread.

Ideally, we might kill it before spawning the shell process, but it's
inside a static variable in the getFileTransfer() function. So
instead, stop it from sharing FS state using unshare(). A strategy
such as the one from #5057 (single-threaded chroot helper binary) is
also very much on the table.

Fixes #4337.

Move the `closure` logic of `computeFSClosure` to its own (templated) function.

This doesn’t bring much by itself (except for the ability to properly
test the “closure” functionality independently from the rest), but it
allows reusing it (in particular for the realisations which will require
a very similar closure computation)

Matthew Bauer 3d90ab9345 Fix extra slash in canonPath output
When you have a symlink like:

  /tmp -> ./private/tmp

you need to resolve ./private/tmp relative to /tmp’s dir: ‘/’. Unlike
any other path output by dirOf, / ends with a slash. We don’t want
trailing slashes here since we will append another slash in the next
comoponent, so clear s like we would if it was a symlink to an absoute
path.

This should fix at least part of the issue in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4822, will need confirmation that
it actually fixes the problem to close though.

Introduced in f3f228700a.

Luke Granger-Brown 97dde3cdd9 libutil: allow decompression with none/empty method
The S3 store relies on the ability to be able to decompress things with
an empty method, because it just passes the value of the Content-Encoding
directly to decompress.

If the file is not compressed, then this will cause the compression
routine to get confused.

This caused NixOS/nixpkgs#120120.

    /run/current-system --no-check-sigs --substitute-on-destination

could fail with "Too many open files". So now we do some explicit
cleanup from amDone(). It would be cleaner to separate goals from
their temporary internal state, but that would be a bigger refactor.

Fix Nix to properly work with stores using a scoped IPv6 address
According to RFC4007[1], IPv6 addresses can have a so-called zone_id
separated from the actual address with `%` as delimiter. In contrast to
Nix 2.3, the version on `master` doesn't recognize it as such:

    $ nix ping-store --store ssh://root@fe80::1%18 --experimental-features nix-command
    warning: 'ping-store' is a deprecated alias for 'store ping'
    error: --- Error ----------------------------------------------------------------- nix
    don't know how to open Nix store 'ssh://root@fe80::1%18'

I modified the IPv6 match-regex accordingly to optionally detect this
part of the address. As we don't seem to do anything special with it, I
decided to leave it as part of the URL for now.

Fixes #4490

Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

Daniël de Kok 2de232d2b3 Add x86_64 compute levels as additional system types
When performing distributed builds of machine learning packages, it
would be nice if builders without the required SIMD instructions can
be excluded as build nodes.

Since x86_64 has accumulated a large number of different instruction
set extensions, listing all possible extensions would be unwieldy.
AMD, Intel, Red Hat, and SUSE have recently defined four different
microarchitecture levels that are now part of the x86-64 psABI
supplement and will be used in glibc 2.33:

https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI
https://lwn.net/Articles/844831/

This change uses libcpuid to detect CPU features and then uses them to
add the supported x86_64 levels to the additional system types. For
example on a Ryzen 3700X:

$ ~/aps/bin/nix -vv --version | grep "Additional system"
Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux

libutil: EPERM from kill(-1, ...) is fine
I tested a trivial program that called kill(-1, SIGKILL), which was
run as the only process for an unpriveleged user, on Linux and
FreeBSD.  On Linux, kill reported success, while on FreeBSD it failed
with EPERM.

POSIX says:

> If pid is -1, sig shall be sent to all processes (excluding an
> unspecified set of system processes) for which the process has
> permission to send that signal.

and

> The kill() function is successful if the process has permission to
> send sig to any of the processes specified by pid.  If kill() fails,
> no signal shall be sent.

and

> [EPERM]
>     The process does not have permission to send the signal to any
>     receiving process.

My reading of this is that kill(-1, ...) may fail with EPERM when
there are no other processes to kill (since the current process is
ignored).  Since kill(-1, ...) only attempts to kill processes the
user has permission to kill, it can't mean that we tried to do
something we didn't have permission to kill, so it should be fine to
interpret EPERM the same as success here for any POSIX-compliant
system.

This fixes an issue that Mic92 encountered[1] when he tried to review a
Nixpkgs PR on FreeBSD.

Eelco Dolstra 8d4268d190 Improve error formatting
Changes:

* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
  in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
  were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.

* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
  the prefix (e.g. "error: ").

* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.

* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.

* The error is now printed *before* the location info.

* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
  wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
  EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
  googleable error ID (like rustc).

* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
  something like "while doing X".
