Robert Hensing 3884f7a69a Install nlohmann_json headers
These headers are included by the libexpr, libfetchers, libstore
and libutil headers.
Considering that these are vendored sources, Nix should expose them,
as it is not a good idea for reverse dependencies to rely on a
potentially different source that can go out of sync.

Flakes: refetch the input when a follows disappears
When an input follows disappears, we can't just reuse the old lock
file entries since we may be missing some required ones. Refetch the
input when this happens.

Sergei Trofimovich edfc5b2f12 ca-specific-schema.sql: add index on RealisationsRefs(referrer) and (outputPath)
For a typical desktop system (~2K packages) we can easily get 100K
entries in RealisationsRefs. Without indices query for RealisationsRefs
requires linear scan.

RealisationsRefs(referrer)
--------------------------

Inefficiency is seen as a 100% CPU load of nix-daemon for the following
scenario:

    $ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="1"
    # populate RealisationsRefs, build fresh system
    $ nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }'
    $ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="2"
    $ time nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }'

In this case `bash `will be rebuilt a few times and then rest of CPU
time is spent on scanning RealisationsRefs table (about 5 CPU-minutes
on my machine).

Before the change:

    $ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above
    real    34m3,613s
    user    0m5,232s
    sys     0m0,758s

Of all this time about 29.5 minutes are taken by nix-daemon's CPU time.

After the change:

    $ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above
    real    4m50,061s
    user    0m5,038s
    sys     0m0,677s

Of all this time about 1 minute is taken by nix-daemon's CPU time.
Most of the time is spent polling for non-existent realisations on
cache-nixos.org.

Realisations(outputPath)
------------------------

After running CA system for two weeks I got ~1M entries in Realisations
table. `nix-collect-garbage` became very slow (seemingly 100 path deletions
per second). It happens due to a slow cascading delete from Realisations
triggered by deletion from ValidPaths.

The fix is to add an index on primary key from ValidPaths(id) that
triggers cascading deletions.

Before the change:
    $ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G
    <interrupted before finish, took too long>
    real    23m32.411s
    user    17m49.679s
    sys     4m50.609s

Most of time was spent in re-scanning Realisations table on each path deletion.

After the change:
    $ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G

    real    8m43.226s
    user    6m16.317s
    sys     1m40.188s

Time is spent scanning sqlite indices and in kernel when unlinking directories.

does.

Eelco Dolstra ff2af4d64e Unshare mount namespace in main()
Doing it as a side-effect of calling LocalStore::makeStoreWritable()
is very ugly.

Also, make sure that stopping the progress bar joins the update
thread, otherwise that thread should be unshared as well.

addPath: allow paths with references
Since 4806f2f6b0, we can't have paths with
references passed to builtins.{path,filterSource}. This prevents many cases
of those functions called on IFD outputs from working. Resolve this by
passing the references found in the original path to the added path.

regnat 1f3c3a3785 Make the flake options work when using the daemon
When setting flake-local options (with the `nixConfig` field), forward
these options to the daemon in case we’re using one.

This is necessary in particular for options like `binary-caches` or
`post-build-hook` to make sense.

regnat 93eadd5803 Make the post-build-hook use the daemon Nix package
Having the `post-build-hook` use `nix` from the client package can lead
to a deadlock in case there’s a db migration to do between both, as a
`nix` command running inside the hook will run as root (and as such will
bypass the daemon), so might trigger a db migration, which will get
stuck trying to get a global lock on the DB (as the daemon that ran the
hook already has a lock on it).

regnat 1a4c9ba50b Fix nix repl’s building of CA derivations

Travis A. Everett abdf9f2a6e darwin-install: fix already-mounted store volumes
This adds an explicit unmount of the store volume to avoid cases
where the installer can hang in await_volume when:
- the user already has a store volume
- that volume is already mounted somewhere other than /nix
- they do not take a path through the installer that results in an
  explicit unmount (as both removing and encrypting the volume
  would do)

Eelco Dolstra 81e7c40264 Optimize primop calls
We now parse function applications as a vector of arguments rather
than as a chain of binary applications, e.g. 'substring 1 2 "foo"' is
parsed as

  ExprCall { .fun = <substring>, .args = [ <1>, <2>, <"foo"> ] }

rather than

  ExprApp (ExprApp (ExprApp <substring> <1>) <2>) <"foo">

This allows primops to be called immediately (if enough arguments are
supplied) without having to allocate intermediate tPrimOpApp values.

On

  $ nix-instantiate --dry-run '<nixpkgs/nixos/release-combined.nix>' -A nixos.tests.simple.x86_64-linux

this gives a substantial performance improvement:

  user CPU time:      median =      0.9209  mean =      0.9218  stddev =      0.0073  min =      0.9086  max =      0.9340  [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=-0.21433±0.00677]
  elapsed time:       median =      1.0585  mean =      1.0584  stddev =      0.0024  min =      1.0523  max =      1.0623  [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=-0.20594±0.00236]

because it reduces the number of tPrimOpApp allocations from 551990 to
42534 (i.e. only small minority of primop calls are partially
applied) which in turn reduces time spent in the garbage collector.

docs: Correct fallback user config path
This is in line with XDG Base Directory Specification, where ~/.config is supposed to be used when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.

It also better matches the reality, where ~/.config/nix.conf does not seem to be used.

Reword "we"s to "I"s for consistency
This script uses multiple forms of the first-person POV:
1. "We" to refer to the Nix team (1e7c796e66/scripts/install-multi-user.sh (L72))
2. "We" to refer to the combination of the installation script & the user/executor (1e7c796e66/scripts/install-multi-user.sh (L710))
3. "We" to refer to the installation script alone (1e7c796e66/scripts/install-multi-user.sh (L602))
4. "I" to refer to the installation script alone (1e7c796e66/scripts/install-multi-user.sh (L200))

Since I prefer POV 4 to POV 3, this changes all instances of POV 3 to POV 4.
