jade af546be205 build: remove approximately 400 seconds of CPU time (30%)
This took parsing time from 1421s or so to 1060s or so. The reason is
entirely nlohmann. All of the stuff below is just Obliterated because it's
built in the PCH instead:

**** Templates that took longest to instantiate:

clang-only. This brings the clang build time to not far from *half* of
the gcc build time.

Also, clang does not enjoy so much to miscompile coroutines. Maybe we
should just be clang-only.

jade 651cc0e5b4 fix: build with meson 1.5 also
nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which
*does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation
code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a
way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson
version 😭.

It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious
until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for
it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for
ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable.

This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/
entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use
Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling
improvement.

It also deletes the hack that we were using to get the sources of Cargo
deps into meson by using a feature that went unnoticed when this code
was originally written: MESON_PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR:
8a202de6ec/mesonbuild/wrap/wrap.py (L490-L502)

Qyriad 95863b258b build: build lix-doc with Meson! 🎉
lix-doc is now built with Meson, with lix-doc's dependencies built as
Meson subprojects, either fetched on demand with .wrap files, or fetched
in advance by Nix with importCargoLock. It even builds statically.

Fixes #256.

Artemis Tosini 41a0b08e64 meson: Don't use target_machine
The target_machine variable is meant for the target
of cross compilers. We are not a cross compiler, so
instead reuse our host_machine based checks.

Fixes Linux→FreeBSD cross, since Meson can't figure
out `target_machine.kernel()` in that case.

jade b9ed79c99a libutil: deal with Linux systems that do not implement close_range
Seems a little bit Rich that musl does not implement close_range because
they suspect that the system call itself is a bad idea, so they uhhhh
are considering not implementing a wrapper. Let's just fix the problem
at hand by writing our own wrapper.

jade f8fb335eb7 build: declare all the deps as -isystem
I don't know why but I was getting a spurious -Werror=switch-enum inside
toml11. It does not make sense why it did not occur before, but it
should be stopped.

This was not done at an earlier stage to better match the legacy make
build system, but we don't use it anyway.

jade 3daeeaefb1 build: implement clang-tidy using our plugin
The principle of this is that you can either externally build it with
Nix (actual implementation will be in a future commit), or it can be
built with meson if the Nix one is not passed in.

The idea I have is that dev shells don't receive the one from Nix to
avoid having to build it, but CI can use the one from Nix and save some
gratuitous rebuilds.

The design of this is that you can run `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and
it will simply correctly clang-tidy the codebase in spite of PCH
bullshit caused by the cc-wrapper.

This is a truly horrendous number of hacks in a ball, caused by bugs in
several pieces of software, and I am not even getting started.

I don't consider this to fix the clang-tidy issue filing, since we still
have a fair number of issues to fix even on the existing minimal
configuration, and I have not yet implemented it in CI. Realistically we
will need to do something like https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker
to be able to silence warnings without physically touching the code, or
at least *diff* reports between versions.

Also, the run-clang-tidy output design is rather atrocious and must
not be inflicted upon anyone I have respect for, since it buries the
diagnostics in a pile of invocation logs. We would do really well to
integrate with the Gerrit SARIF stuff so we can dump the reports on
people in a user-friendly manner.

bad style, but bad style that makes the code harder to understand.

eldritch horrors 73ddc4540f libutil: generator type with on-yield value mapping
this will be the basis of non-boost coroutines in lix. anything that is
a boost coroutine *should* be representable with a Generator coroutine,
and many things that are not currently boost coroutines but behave much
like one (such as, notably, serializers) should be as well. this allows
us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

we do not have any of these warnings appearing at the moment, but it
seems like a good idea to enable [[nodiscard]] checking anyway. once
we start introducing more functions with must-use conditions we will
need such checking, and the rust stdlib has proven them very useful.

eldritch horrors e6cd67591b libexpr: rewrite the parser with pegtl instead of flex/bison
this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.

this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.

test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:

  - 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
  - 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
  - equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
    (excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)

more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

Pierre Bourdon f7b6552699 [resubmit] flake: update nixpkgs pin 23.11->24.05 (+ boehmgc compat changes)
-- message from cl/1418 --

The boehmgc changes are bundled into this commit because doing otherwise
would require an annoying dance of "adding compatibility for < 8.2.6 and
>= 8.2.6" then updating the pin then removing the (now unneeded)
compatibility. It doesn't seem worth the trouble to me given the low
complexity of said changes.

Rebased coroutine-sp-fallback.diff patch taken from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317227

-- jade resubmit changes --

This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.

I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.

It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.

Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.

We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

Seccomp filtering and the no-new-privileges functionality improve the security
of the sandbox, and have been enabled by default for a long time. In
#265 it was decided that they
should be enabled unconditionally. Accordingly, remove the allow-new-privileges
(which had weird behavior anyway) and filter-syscall settings, and force the
security features on. Syscall filtering can still be enabled at build time to
support building on architectures libseccomp doesn't support.

jade c97e17144e packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so on
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.

We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.

This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.

Migration path:
expr.hh      -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h

To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.

Then run the following for out of tree projects:

```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src

Maximilian Bosch 045ee37438 libstore/local-derivation-goal: prohibit creating setuid/setgid binaries
With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.

Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:

> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.

Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.

This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:

    $ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
    58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
    67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
    62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
    70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
    59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562

I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.

Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.

To work around that

* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
  scheduled[3].

* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
  provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
  away.

We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

Qyriad 05e3b1d39e meson: fix cross compilation
This should fix cross compilation in the base case, but this is
difficult to test as cross compilation is broken in many different
places right now. This should bring Meson back up to cross parity with
the Make buildsystem though.

Qyriad b81eec6ed5 build internal API docs with Meson
This commit adds the capability for building the Doxygen internal API
docs in the Meson buildsystem, and also makes doing so the default for
the internal-api-docs hydra job. Aside from the /nix-support directory,
which differed only by the hash part of a store path, the outputs of
hydraJobs.internal-api-docs before and after this commit were
bit-for-bit identical on my machine.

eldritch horrors 725f5cd358 docs: redo content generation for mdbook and manual
manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).

doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.

This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

Qyriad 4b99f43aeb meson: correctly differentiate $profiledir and $sysconfdir/profile.d
The configured sysconfdir is used to look for nix.conf, so it needs
to be /etc, and not $out/etc, so we separate out the place where shell
profile files are installed, which is the only other place sysconfdir is
at all used.

See #231 (comment)
for more info.

jade 0d37b99a15 build: enable libstdc++ assertions
Benchmarks say that it does not regress performance by more than 1%
(which is where it gets really hard to measure accurately anyhow).

Meson appears to be planning to do this for us without asking us in a
release we will get in the future, and it seems good enough to ship
today:

didn't make a lot of sense to us since this is an internal dependency.
Thus we changed it to make it more self contained.

Lunaphied 7a1054fa5f repl: improve :doc builtin repl command to support lambdas.
For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.

NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.

These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.
