Eelco Dolstra 772b70952f Fix --timeout
I'm not sure if it has ever worked correctly.  The line "lastWait =
after;" seems to mean that the timer was reset every time a build
produced log output.

Note that the timeout is now per build, as documented ("the maximum
number of seconds that a builder can run").

Shea Levy cc63db1dd5 makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permission
It is surprisingly impossible to check if a mountpoint is a bind mount
on Linux, and in my previous commit I forgot to check if /nix/store was
even a mountpoint at all. statvfs.f_flag is not populated with MS_BIND
(and even if it were, my check was wrong in the previous commit).

Luckily, the semantics of mount with MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND make both
checks unnecessary: if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, then mount will
fail with EINVAL, and if /nix/store is not a bind-mount, then it will
not be made writable. Thus, if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, we fail
immediately (since we don't know how to make it writable), and if
/nix/store IS a mountpoint but not a bind-mount, we fail at first write
(see below for why we can't check and fail immediately).

Note that, due to what is IMO buggy behavior in Linux, calling mount
with MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND on a non-bind readonly mount makes the
mountpoint appear writable in two places: In the sixth (but not the
10th!) column of mountinfo, and in the f_flags member of struct statfs.
All other syscalls behave as if the mount point were still readonly (at
least for Linux 3.9-rc1, but I don't think this has changed recently or
is expected to soon). My preferred semantics would be for MS_REMOUNT |
MS_BIND to fail on a non-bind mount, as it doesn't make sense to remount
a non bind-mount as a bind mount.

Shea Levy 2c9cf50746 makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount
/nix/store could be a read-only bind mount even if it is / in its own filesystem, so checking the 4th field in mountinfo is insufficient.

Eelco Dolstra b008674e46 Refactoring: Split off the non-recursive canonicalisePathMetaData()
Also, change the file mode before changing the owner.  This prevents a
slight time window in which a setuid binary would be setuid root.

Eelco Dolstra 5526a282b5 Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own
It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do

  ln /etc/shadow $out/foo

Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo,
causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but
writable by nobody).  That's obviously Very Bad.

Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because
/nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid
cross-device link".  It also fails if hard-link restrictions are
enabled, so a workaround is:

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks

The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build
user.  This means that innocuous operations like "ln
${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed
in chroot builds anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 536c85ea49 Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>
...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation.
Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into
all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences.  For instance,
ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551:
Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.

Eelco Dolstra 2754a07ead nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings
So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root
due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store
-q --roots’ now shows that root.

Eelco Dolstra 06f62defe6 Yet another rewrite of the garbage collector
But this time it's *obviously* correct!  No more segfaults due to
infinite recursions for sure, etc.

Also, move directories to /nix/store/trash instead of renaming them to
/nix/store/bla-gc-<pid>.  Then we can just delete /nix/store/trash at
the end.

Eelco Dolstra e775d4d84f If gc-keep-derivations is set, only keep the actual deriver
This prevents zillions of derivations from being kept, and fixes an
infinite recursion in the garbage collector (due to an obscure cycle
that can occur with fixed-output derivations).

Eelco Dolstra 8b8ee53bc7 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’
The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language
version.  It gets increased every time a language feature is
added/changed/removed.  It's currently 1.

The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version,
e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".

Eelco Dolstra 5943f41b8b queryMissing(): Handle partially valid derivations 2012-11-26 18:25:12 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d8d47abd2 Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation
If a derivation has multiple outputs, then we only want to download
those outputs that are actuallty needed.  So if we do "nix-build -A
openssl.man", then only the "man" output should be downloaded.
Likewise if another package depends on ${openssl.man}.

The tricky part is that different derivations can depend on different
outputs of a given derivation, so we may need to restart the
corresponding derivation goal if that happens.
2012-11-26 17:15:09 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 46a369ad95 Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin":

  $ nix-build -A pkg

produces ./result pointing to the "out" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.man

produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all

produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2

produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

Eelco Dolstra f794465ca8 Disable use of vfork()
vfork() is just too weird.  For instance, in this build:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487

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.

If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.

Eelco Dolstra ea89df2b76 Use vfork() instead of fork() if available
Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot

starting builders.
