Wout Mertens 3b9ea8452f Shortcut store files before lstat
readdir() already returns the inode numbers, so we don't need to call
lstat to know if a file was already linked or not.

Wout Mertens e974f20c98 Preload linked hashes to speed up lookups
By preloading all inodes in the /nix/store/.links directory, we can
quickly determine of a hardlinked file was already linked to the hashed
links.
This is tolerant of removing the .links directory, it will simply
recalculate all hashes in the store.

wmertens a84f503d86 Shortcut already-hardlinked files
If an inode in the Nix store has more than 1 link, it probably means that it was linked into .links/ by us. If so, skip.

There's a possibility that something else hardlinked the file, so it would be nice to be able to override this.

Also, by looking at the number of hardlinks for each of the files in .links/, you can get deduplication numbers and space savings.

Ricardo M. Correia 700c678c2e nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.

For example, say that you have these 3 generations:

1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>

If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).

This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.

Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

Ludovic Courtès e7720aa10a Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable
While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems
/dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my
Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating
3.10-3 reported not having this problem.)

There’s still the problem that people without
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc),
but I don’t see how we could work around it.

Eelco Dolstra acb8facbbc Fix potential segfault in waitForInput()
Since the addition of build-max-log-size, a call to

it was still used afterwards.  Likewise for the maxSilentTime
handling.

Probably fixes #231.  At least it gets rid of the valgrind warnings.

Eelco Dolstra 49009573bc Don't interpret strings as format strings
Ludo reported this error:

  unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed

coming from this line:

  printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));

The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially.  I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.

Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens.  So you don't have to worry about % in statements like

  printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);

or

  throw Error("foo: " + s);

Ludovic Courtès 24cb65efc3 Make /dev/kvm optional
The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!).  However, it
expects /dev/kvm to be present.

The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems,
and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists.

I’m not sure about the way to handle (2).  We could special-case
/dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so
it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely,
if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.

Ludovic Courtès 51800e06de Allow recovery from isValidPath RPCs with an invalid path
Currently, clients cannot recover from an isValidPath RPC with an
invalid path parameter because the daemon closes the connection when
that happens.

More precisely:

  1. in performOp, wopIsValidPath case, ‘readStorePath’ raises an
     ‘Error’ exception;

  2. that exception is caught by the handler in ‘processConnection’;

  3. the handler determines errorAllowed == false, and thus exits after
     sending the message.

This last part is fixed by calling ‘startWork’ early on, as in the patch
below.

The same reasoning could be applied to all the RPCs that take one or
more store paths as inputs, but isValidPath is, by definition, likely to
be passed invalid paths in the first place, so it’s important for this
one to allow recovery.

Eelco Dolstra c9f6232304 Correctly detect infinite recursion in function application
If we're evaluating some application ‘v = f x’, we can't store ‘f’
temporarily in ‘v’, because if ‘f x’ refers to ‘v’, it will get ‘f’
rather than an infinite recursion error.

Unfortunately, this breaks the tail call optimisation introduced in
c897bac549.

Eelco Dolstra 1aa19b24b2 Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed.  This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)

For example:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
  ...
  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
  error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'

The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid.  Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.

The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

Shea Levy 64e23d0a38 Add download-via-ssh substituter
This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve
there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and
sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts
option can be specified as a list of hosts to try.

This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some
limitations:

* Only the first host is used
* There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the
  remote machine)
* There is no informative output (such as progress bars)
* Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages
* There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts

Shea Levy cd49fe4f9b Don't use any syntactic sugar for dynamic attrs
This doesn't change any functionality but moves some behavior out of the
parser and into the evaluator in order to simplify the code.

Shea Levy 6f3a51809a Fold dynamic binds handling into addAttr
Since addAttr has to iterate through the AttrPath we pass it, it makes
more sense to just iterate through the AttrNames in addAttr instead. As
an added bonus, this allows attrsets where two dynamic attribute paths
have the same static leading part (see added test case for an example
that failed previously).

Shea Levy 18fefacf7d Dynamic attrs
This adds new syntax for attribute names:

* attrs."${name}" => getAttr name attrs
* attrs ? "${name}" => isAttrs attrs && hasAttr attrs name
* attrs."${name}" or def => if attrs ? "${name}" then attrs."${name}" else def
* { "${name}" = value; } => listToAttrs [{ inherit name value; }]

Of course, it's a bit more complicated than that. The attribute chains
can be arbitrarily long and contain combinations of static and dynamic
parts (e.g. attrs."${foo}".bar."${baz}" or qux), which is relatively
straightforward for the getAttrs/hasAttrs cases but is more complex for
the listToAttrs case due to rules about duplicate attribute definitions.

For attribute sets with dynamic attribute names, duplicate static
attributes are detected at parse time while duplicate dynamic attributes
are detected when the attribute set is forced. So, for example, { a =
null; a.b = null; "${"c"}" = true; } will be a parse-time error, while
{ a = {}; "${"a"}".b = null; c = true; } will be an eval-time error
(technically that case could theoretically be detected at parse time,
but the general case would require full evaluation). Moreover, duplicate
dynamic attributes are not allowed even in cases where they would be
with static attributes ({ a.b.d = true; a.b.c = false; } is legal, but {
a."${"b"}".d = true; a."${"b"}".c = false; } is not). This restriction
might be relaxed in the future in cases where the static variant would
not be an error, but it is not obvious that that is desirable.

Finally, recursive attribute sets with dynamic attributes have the
static attributes in scope but not the dynamic ones. So rec { a = true;
"${"b"}" = a; } is equivalent to { a = true; b = true; } but rec {
"${"a"}" = true; b = a; } would be an error or use a from the
surrounding scope if it exists.

Note that the getAttr, getAttr or default, and hasAttr are all
implemented purely in the parser as syntactic sugar, while attribute
sets with dynamic attribute names required changes to the AST to be
implemented cleanly.

This is an alternative solution to and closes #167

Shea Levy 136f2f7046 Add the ExprBuiltin Expr type to the AST
Certain desugaring schemes may require the parser to use some builtin
function to do some of the work (e.g. currently `throw` is used to
lazily cause an error if a `<>`-style path is not in the search path)
Unfortunately, these names are not reserved keywords, so an expression
that uses such a syntactic sugar will not see the expected behavior
(see tests/lang/eval-okay-redefine-builtin.nix for an example).

This adds the ExprBuiltin AST type, which when evaluated uses the value
from the rootmost variable scope (which of course is initialized
internally and can't shadow any of the builtins).

sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but
not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore
because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).
