Niklas Hambüchen 82b7f0e840 autoconf: Implement release tarball detection. Fixes #257.
This should finally allow us to address all cases of build errors due to
differences between release tarballs and building from git.

Niklas Hambüchen a96006d97f Get BOOST_LDFLAGS from autoconf, fix Ubuntu 16.04 build.
Our use of boost::coroutine2 depends on -lboost_context,
which in turn depends on `-lboost_thread`, which in turn depends
on `-lboost_system`.

I suspect that this builds on nix only because of low-level hacks
like NIX_LDFLAGS.

This commit passes the proper linker flags, thus fixing bootstrap
builds on non-nix distributions like Ubuntu 16.04.

With these changes, I can build Nix on Ubuntu 16.04 using:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/editline-prefix \
      --disable-doc-gen \
      CXX=g++-7 \
      --with-boost=$HOME/boost-prefix \
      EDITLINE_CFLAGS=-I$HOME/editline-prefix/include \
      EDITLINE_LIBS=-leditline \
      LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/editline-prefix/lib
    make

where

* g++-7 comes from gcc-7 from
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test,
* editline 1.14 from https://github.com/troglobit/editline/releases/tag/1.14.0
	was installed into `$HOME/editline-prefix`
  (because Ubuntu 16.04's `editline` is too old to have the function nix uses),
* boost 1.66 from
	https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
	was installed into $HOME/boost-prefix (because Ubuntu 16.04 only has 1.58)

Niklas Hambüchen 717e821b99 autoconf: Allow overriding CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS from outside.
As is normal for autoconf-based projects.

For example, it is a common use case to do

    ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O0

This did not work for nix until now, because the `CXXFLAGS=` declaration
would unconditionally erase what the user had specified.

The custom `OPTIMIZE` flag is removed, but the default `-O3` is retained;
autoconf would default to `-g -O2` by default otherwise as documented on:

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C-Compiler.html

Niklas Hambüchen 20129bd83d autoconf: Fix AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE being used before AC_PROG_CC.
That was incorrect, because checking the dirent type already requires
a working compiler.

It had the effect that setting e.g. `: ${CFLAGS=""}` before `AC_PROG_CC`
as per `AC_PROG_CC`'s documentation would have no effect, because
`AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE` would automatically set CFLASGS.

(In a followup commit `: ${CFLAGS=""}` will be used, so it's important
to get this working first.)
2019-07-03 04:32:25 +02:00
Niklas Hambüchen 57daa860e8 autoconf: Fix C++17 detection not working on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably many other distributions.

Until now, ./configure would fail silently printing a warning

    ./configure: line 4621: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17: command not found

and then continuing, later failing with a C++ #error saying that some C++11
feature isn't supported (it didn't even get to the C++17 features).

This is because older distributions don't come with the
`AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17` m4 macro.

This commit vendors that macro accordingly.

Now ./configure complains correctly:

    configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required.

On Ubuntu 16.04, ./configure completes if a newer compiler is used, e.g. with
gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
using:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure CXX=g++-7 --disable-doc-gen --with-boost=$(nix-build --no-link '<nixpkgs>' -A boost.dev)

Niklas Hambüchen 1f97b16b1d autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases.

Also update manual stating what version is needed;
I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles,
and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release
that nix uses.

Niklas Hambüchen 00a450026f autoconf: Detect boost, require version, set CXXFLAGS.

Niklas Hambüchen 96cd3d6073 autoconf: Change quotes in description.
The unbalanced single-quotes cause many editor syntax highlighters

Mateusz Piotrowski e8b0efdcc9 Remove some bashisms from configure.ac
"configure.ac" is used to generate "configure", which is supposed to be
run with /bin/sh (as suggested by the shebang line of "configure"). As a
result it is a good idea to remove any /bin/sh-incompatible syntax from
configure.ac. Otherwise, systems that do not use Bash as their /bin/sh
are unable to run "configure" due to syntax errors.

Will Dietz 9dd2b8ac7b use libbrotli directly when available
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
  since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
  If neither are found, current runtime behavior
  is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
  to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
  Testing shows negligible performance impact.

Add a seccomp filter to prevent creating setuid/setgid binaries
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits,
preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid
binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid.

This is based on aszlig's seccomp code
(47f587700d).

Add build dependency for libseccomp
We're going to use libseccomp instead of creating the raw BPF program,
because we have different syscall numbers on different architectures.

Although our initial seccomp rules will be quite small it really doesn't
make sense to generate the raw BPF program because we need to duplicate
it and/or make branches on every single architecture we want to suuport.

Harald van Dijk 5451b8db9d Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possible
chroot only changes the process root directory, not the mount namespace root
directory, and it is well-known that any process with chroot capability can
break out of a chroot "jail". By using pivot_root as well, and unmounting the
original mount namespace root directory, breaking out becomes impossible.

Non-root processes typically have no ability to use chroot() anyway, but they
can gain that capability through the use of clone() or unshare(). For security
reasons, these syscalls are limited in functionality when used inside a normal
chroot environment. Using pivot_root() this way does allow those syscalls to be
put to their full use.

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

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 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
allocate memory’ errors.  vfork() is used for everything except
starting builders.
