Eelco Dolstra 95d20dfde9 Allow parameters in store URIs
This is to allow store-specific configuration,
e.g. s3://my-cache?compression=bzip2&secret-key=/path/to/key.

Eelco Dolstra 5761827d5b Show the log tail when a build fails
If --no-build-output is given (which will become the default for the
"nix" command at least), show the last 10 lines of the build output if
the build fails.

Eelco Dolstra 6e1b099279 Remove --print-build-trace
This was added to support Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.

Eelco Dolstra 41633f9f73 Improved logging abstraction
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.

Eelco Dolstra ddea253ff8 RemoteStore: Propagate InvalidPath exceptions from the daemon 2016-04-20 15:28:07 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 451ebf24ce Cache path info lookups in SQLite
This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be
used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.

Eelco Dolstra e0204f8d46 Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.

This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().

Eelco Dolstra 8cffec8485 Remove failed build caching
This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.

Eelco Dolstra d0f5719c2a Add "nix copy-sigs" command
This imports signatures from one store into another. E.g.

  $ nix copy-sigs -r /run/current-system -s https://cache.nixos.org/
  imported 595 signatures

Eelco Dolstra 9cee600c88 LocalStore: Keep track of ultimately trusted paths
These are content-addressed paths or outputs of locally performed
builds. They are trusted even if they don't have signatures, so "nix
verify-paths" won't complain about them.

Eelco Dolstra c7d44bad00 Drop support for daemon socket path >= 108 characters
Doing a chdir() is a bad idea in multi-threaded programs, leading to
failures such as

  error: cannot connect to daemon at ‘/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket’: No such file or directory

Since Linux doesn't have a connectat() syscall like FreeBSD, there is
no way we can support this in a race-free way.

Eelco Dolstra 1c5f73f529 Add Store::dumpPath() method
This allows applying nix-store --verify-path to binary cache stores:

Eelco Dolstra bcc9943cee importPaths(): Optionally add NARs to binary cache accessor
This enables an optimisation in hydra-queue-runner, preventing a

like hydra-build-products.

Eelco Dolstra 5f862658c3 Remove bad daemon connections from the pool
This is necessary for long-running processes like hydra-queue-runner:
if a nix-daemon worker is killed, we need to stop reusing that
connection.

Eelco Dolstra e292144d46 RemoteStore: Make thread-safe
This allows a RemoteStore object to be used safely from multiple
threads concurrently. It will make multiple daemon connections if
necessary.

Note: pool.hh and sync.hh have been copied from the Hydra source tree.

Eelco Dolstra 1511aa9f48 Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure
Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire
closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only
need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can
contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include
source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts).

So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that
performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation
(BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files
that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation
(drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as
described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this
interface.

Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a
derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will
require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be
computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be
verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be
quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env
-i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk).

Fixes #173.

Ludovic Courtès b755752f76 Add a ‘verifyStore’ RPC
Hello!

The patch below adds a ‘verifyStore’ RPC with the same signature as the
current LocalStore::verifyStore method.

Thanks,

Eelco Dolstra fa13d3f4f3 build-remote.pl: Fix building multiple output derivations
We were importing paths without sorting them topologically, leading to
"path is not valid" errors.

See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12451761

Eelco Dolstra a5c6347ff0 build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).

It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.

Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

Eelco Dolstra b1beed97a0 Report daemon OOM better
When copying a large path causes the daemon to run out of memory, you

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.

Eelco Dolstra 936f9d45ba Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU.  This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied.  So
we turn this off for Perl programs.

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

-q --roots’ now shows that root.
