Add an access-control list to the realisations in recursive-nix (similar
to the already existing one for store paths), so that we can build
content-addressed derivations in the restricted store.
Fix#4353
This way no derivation has to expect that these files are in the `cwd`
during the build. This is problematic for `nix-shell` where these files
would have to be inserted into the nix-shell's `cwd` which can become
problematic with e.g. recursive `nix-shell`.
To remain backwards-compatible, the location inside the build sandbox
will be kept, however using these files directly should be deprecated
from now on.
This is needed to push the adoption of structured attrs[1] forward. It's
now checked if a `__json` exists in the environment-map of the derivation
to be openend in a `nix-shell`.
Derivations with structured attributes enabled also make use of a file
named `.attrs.json` containing every environment variable represented as
JSON which is useful for e.g. `exportReferencesGraph`[2]. To
provide an environment similar to the build sandbox, `nix-shell` now
adds a `.attrs.json` to `cwd` (which is mostly equal to the one in the
build sandbox) and removes it using an exit hook when closing the shell.
To avoid leaking internals of the build-process to the `nix-shell`, the
entire logic to generate JSON and shell code for structured attrs was
moved into the `ParsedDerivation` class.

Useful when we're using a daemon with a chroot store, e.g.
$ NIX_DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH=/tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket nix-daemon --store /tmp/chroot
Then the client can now connect with
$ nix build --store unix:///tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket?root=/tmp/chroot nixpkgs#hello
When we don’t have enough free job slots to run a goal, we put it in
the waitForBuildSlot list & unlock its output locks. This will
continue from where we left off (tryLocalBuild). However, we need the
locks to get reacquired when/if the goal ever restarts. So, we need to
send it back through tryToBuild to get reqacquire those locks.
I think this bug was introduced in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4570. It leads to some builds
starting without proper locks.
Starting in macOS 11, the on-disk dylib bundles are no longer available,
but nixpkgs needs to be able to keep compatibility with older versions
that require `/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib` in `__impureHostDeps`. Allow
it to keep backwards compatibility with these versions by marking these
dependencies as optional.
Fixes#4658.
If there were many top-level goals (which are not destroyed until the
very end), commands like
$ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' \
/run/current-system --no-check-sigs --substitute-on-destination
could fail with "Too many open files". So now we do some explicit
cleanup from amDone(). It would be cleaner to separate goals from
their temporary internal state, but that would be a bigger refactor.
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
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.
What happened was that Nix was trying to unconditionally mount these
paths in fixed-output derivations, but since the outer derivation was
pure, those paths did not exist. The solution is to only mount those
paths when they exist.
This separates the scheduling logic (including simple hook pathway) from
the local-store needing code.
This should be the final split for now. I'm reasonably happy with how
it's turning out, even before I'm done moving code into
`local-derivation-goal`. Benefits:
1. This will help "witness" that the hook case is indeed a lot simpler,
and also compensate for the increased complexity that comes from
content-addressed derivation outputs.
2. It also moves us ever so slightly towards a world where we could use
off-the-shelf storage or sandboxing, since `local-derivation-goal`
would be gutted in those cases, but `derivation-goal` should remain
nearly the same.
The new `#if 0` in the new files will be deleted in the following
commit. I keep it here so if it turns out more stuff can be moved over,
it's easy to do so in a way that preserves ordering --- and thus
prevents conflicts.
N.B.
```sh
git diff HEAD^^ --color-moved --find-copies-harder --patience --stat
```
makes nicer output.
This field used to be a `BasicDerivation`, but this `BasicDerivation`
was downcasted to a `Derivation` when needed (implicitely or not), so we
might as well make it a full `Derivation` and upcast it when needed.
This also allows getting rid of a weird duplication in the way we
compute the static output hashes for the derivation. We had to
do it differently and in a different place depending on whether the
derivation was a full derivation or just a basic drv, but we can now do
it unconditionally on the full derivation.
