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.

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 af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

Yorick fcb8af550f
Restore parent mount namespace in restoreProcessContext
This ensures any started processes can't write to /nix/store (except
during builds). This partially reverts 01d07b1e, which happened because
of #2646.

The problem was only happening after nix downloads anything, causing
me to suspect the download thread. The problem turns out to be:
"A  process  can't  join a new mount namespace if it is sharing
filesystem-related attributes with another process", in this case this
process is the curl thread.

Ideally, we might kill it before spawning the shell process, but it's
inside a static variable in the getFileTransfer() function. So
instead, stop it from sharing FS state using unshare(). A strategy
such as the one from #5057 (single-threaded chroot helper binary) is
also very much on the table.

Fixes #4337.

Eelco Dolstra 0be8cc1466 pathInfoCache: Use the entire base name as the cache key
This fixes a bug in the garbage collector where if a path
/nix/store/abcd-foo is valid, but we do a
isValidPath("/nix/store/abcd-foo.lock") first, then a negative entry
for /nix/store/abcd is added to pathInfoCache, so /nix/store/abcd-foo
is subsequently considered invalid and deleted.

Eelco Dolstra 8614cf1334 Non-blocking garbage collector
The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from
adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the
collector from deleting store paths just added by another process,
processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain
socket to register new temporary roots.

John Ericson 242f9bf3dc std::visit by reference
I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type
error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that
existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with
extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking
with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even
improve performance.

regnat a4ec6cb1da Be more lenient when realisations have a conflicting dependency set
- This can legitimately happen (for example because of a non-determinism
  causing a build-time dependency to be kept or not as a runtime
  reference)
- Because of older Nix versions, it can happen that we encounter a
  realisation with an (erroneously) empty set of dependencies, in which
  case we don’t want to fail, but just warn the user and try to fix it.

regnat 5985b8b527 Check the CA hash when importing stuff in the local store
When adding a path to the local store (via `LocalStore::addToStore`),
ensure that the `ca` field of the provided `ValidPathInfo` does indeed
correspond to the content of the path.
Otherwise any untrusted user (or any binary cache) can add arbitrary
content-addressed paths to the store (as content-addressed paths don’t
need a signature).

regnat 3e6017f911 pathInfoIsTrusted -> pathInfoIsUntrusted
I guess the rationale behind the old name wath that
`pathInfoIsTrusted(info)` returns `true` iff we would need to `blindly`
trust the path (because it has no valid signature and `requireSigs` is
set), but I find it to be a really confusing footgun because it's quite
natural to give it the opposite meaning.

regnat 87c8d3d702 Register the realisations for unresolved drvs
Once a build is done, get back to the original derivation, and register
all the newly built outputs for this derivation.

This allows Nix to work properly with derivations that don't have all
their build inputs available − thus allowing garbage collection and
(once it's implemented) binary substitution

Eelco Dolstra 8d4268d190 Improve error formatting
Changes:

* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
  in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
  were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.

* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
  the prefix (e.g. "error: ").

* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.

* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.

* The error is now printed *before* the location info.

* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
  wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
  EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
  googleable error ID (like rustc).

* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
  something like "while doing X".

John Ericson 7af743470c Make public keys and requireSigs local-store specific again
Thanks @regnat and @edolstra for catching this and comming up with the
solution.

They way I had generalized those is wrong, because local settings for
non-local stores is confusing default. And due to the nature of C++
inheritance, fixing the defaults is more annoying than it should be.
Additionally, I thought we might just drop the check in the substitution
logic since `Store::addToStore` is now streaming, but @regnat rightfully
pointed out that as it downloads dependencies first, that would still be
too late, and also waste effort on possibly unneeded/unwanted
dependencies.

The simple and correct thing to do is just make a store method for the
boolean logic, keeping all the setting and key stuff the way it was
before. That new method is both used by `LocalStore::addToStore` and the
substitution goal check. Perhaps we might eventually make it fancier,
e.g. sending the ValidPathInfo to remote stores for them to validate,
but this is good enough for now.

regnat 4d45839499 Fix the detection of already built drv outputs
PRs #4370 and #4348 had a bad interaction in that the second broke the fist
one in a not trivial way.

The issue was that since #4348 the logic for detecting whether a
derivation output is already built requires some logic that was specific
to the `LocalStore`.

It happens though that most of this logic could be upstreamed to any `Store`,
which is what this commit does.
