Eelco Dolstra ccc52adfb2 Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5").  (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.)  However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory.  queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

Eelco Dolstra 220818f758 queryPathInfo(): return hash in base-32 if desired

includes cached failures.

Fixes #34.

Eelco Dolstra 42f5a2fc29 Mount an empty /dev/shm tmpfs in the chroot
This ensures that whatever the builder writes in /dev/shm is
automatically cleaned up.

Eelco Dolstra 1db38ae81b When using chroots, use a private PID namespace
In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from
the rest of the system.  The initial child gets PID 1.  Processes in
the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot.  This improves
isolation between builds.  However, processes on the outside can see
processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have
appropriate rights).

Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in
the chroot.  This might turn out to be a problem.  In that case we'll
need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().

Eelco Dolstra 5489086456 Use a private UTS namespace to provide a deterministic host/domain name to builders
In chroot builds, set the host name to "localhost" and the domain name
to "(none)" (the latter being the kernel's default).  This improves
determinism a bit further.

P.S. I have to idea what UTS stands for.

Eelco Dolstra 7ffa523fd1 In chroot builds, use a private SysV IPC namespace
This improves isolation a bit further, and it's just one extra flag in
the unshare() call.

P.S. It would be very cool to use CLONE_NEWPID (to put the builder in
a private PID namespace) as well, but that's slightly more risky since
having a builder start as PID 1 may cause problems.

Eelco Dolstra df716c98d2 In chroot builds, use a private network namespace
On Linux it's possible to run a process in its own network namespace,
meaning that it gets its own set of network interfaces, disjunct from
the rest of the system.  We use this to completely remove network
access to chroot builds, except that they get a private loopback
interface.  This means that:

- Builders cannot connect to the outside network or to other processes
  on the same machine, except processes within the same build.

- Vice versa, other processes cannot connect to processes in a chroot
  build, and open ports/connections do not show up in "netstat".

- If two concurrent builders try to listen on the same port (e.g. as
  part of a test), they no longer conflict with each other.

This was inspired by the "PrivateNetwork" flag in systemd.

Eelco Dolstra 2f3f413e91 Support socket-based, on-demand activation of the Nix daemon with systemd
Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket
is first accessed.  This is signalled through the LISTEN_FDS
environment variable, so all we need to do is check for that and then
use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one
ourselves.

Eelco Dolstra 4bc4da331a Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector
We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full.  Since this
prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we
reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage
collection.  This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB
days.
