not doing this can freeze slots until the goal that occupied them is
freed (rather than simply complete), and then can freeze the system.

Daemon client handler processes are forked off of the main nix process
and thus will not have a signal handler thread anymore. This leads to a
high likelihood of bustage, since the Worker infrastructure expects the
interrupt infrastructure to actually, you know, work, to be able to get
interrupted.
The expected behaviour after fork is either:
- Start a signal handler thread if you expect to do complicated things
that need ReceiveInterrupts.
- Call restoreProcessContext and don't handle signals specially
otherwise.

This is done because the one in nixpkgs has several problems and we
don't want to conflict with them fixing those problems:
- not building shared libs
- not building debuginfo (more critical for us due to
#549)
- not setting the correct cmake build type
- not setting the correct cxxflags to build the coroutine library
- not building with clang (required for the coroutine library since gcc
is known to miscompile coroutines *in kj*).

The old behavior results in lots of concatenations happening for no good
reason and is an artifact of the technical limitations of the old parser
(combined with some lack of care for such details).
Change-Id: I0d78d6220ca6aeaa10bc437e48e08bf7922e0bb3
This is only a minor semantical distinction, but we should be able to
properly test it, and the parser tests rely on show for that.

Some settings only make sense on particular platforms, or only when a certain
experimental feature is enabled. Several of those were already conditionally
available. Do the same for a bunch more instead of silently ignoring them.
Exceptionally, the use-case-hack setting is not made conditional because it is
included in the test suite.

The build hook is still running locally, so it will run with the same default
settings. Hence, just as with the daemon, it is enough to send it only the
overridden settings. This will prevent warnings like
warning: Ignoring setting 'auto-allocate-uids' because experimental feature 'auto-allocate-uids' is not enabled
when the user didn't actually set those settings.
This is inspired by and an alternative to [0].

Only overridden settings are sent to the daemon, and we're going to do the same

fact consistently marked as such, so that they actually get sent.

Before this change, expressions like:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" {} ''
echo '@nix {}' >&$NIX_LOG_FD
''
would result in Lix crashing, because accessing nonexistent fields of
a JSON object throws an exception.
Rather than handling each field individually, we just catch JSON
exceptions wholesale. Since these log messages are an unusual
circumstance, log a warning when this happens.

This failed due to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/346945, which
makes a second lowdown-unsandboxed that works in nix builds, and the
regular lowdown has executables that fail closed when the sandbox setup

not 24.05, but this commit should fix it up for all versions.

Stop doing it!
This commit was verified by running nix-shell on a trivial derivation
with --debug --verbose to get the vomit-level output of the shell rc
file and then diffing it before/after this change. I have reasonable
confidence it did not regress anything, though this code is genuinely
really hard to follow (which is a second reason that I split it into two
fmt calls).

A better fix than in 104448e75d, hence a
revert + the fix.
It turns out that this commit has the side-effect that when having e.g.
`StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` for a remote builder, the warnings à la
Warning: Permanently added 'builder' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
actually end up in the derivation's log whereas hostkey verification
errors don't, but only in the stderr of the `nix-build` invocation
(which was the motivation for the patch).
This change writes the stderr from the build-hook to
* the daemon's stderr, so that the SSH errors appear in the journal
(which was the case before 104448e75d)
* the client's stderr, as a log message
* NOT to the drv log (this is handled via `handleJSONLogMessage`)
I tried to fix the issue for legacy-ssh as well, but failed and
ultimately decided to not bother.
I know that we'll sooner or later replace the entire component, however
this is the part of the patch I have working for a while, so I figured I
might still submit it for the time being.

When the git default branch is not set to master the installcheck
test suite fails. This patch adjusts the test setup scripts to
ignore the system and user git config files.
GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM is set to /dev/null to ignore /etc/gitconfig
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL is not set because the global config files
are loaded from $HOME or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME which we already
reset.

While debugging something else I observed that latest `main` ignores
`Control-C` on `sudo nix-build`.
After reading through the capnproto docs, it seems as if the promise
must be fulfilled to actually terminate the `promise.wait()` below.
This also applies to scenarios such as stopping the client
(`nix-build`), but the builders on the daemon-side are still running,

Notably, this is *not* in the main thread, so this implies that the
thread didn't get joined properly before their destructors got called.
That, in turn, should have only possibly happened because join() threw
on a previous iteration of the loop joining threads, I think. Or if it
threw while in the ThreadPool destructor. Either way we had better stop
letting Interrupted fall out of our child threads!
If:
- Interrupted was thrown inside the action in the main thread: it would
have fallen out of doWork if state->exception was already set and got
caught by ThreadPool::process, calling shutdown() and the join loop
which would crash the process entirely.
- Interrupted was thrown inside the action on a secondary thread: it
would have been caught and put into the exception field and then
possibly rethrown to fall out of the thread (since it was previously
ignoreExceptionExceptInterrupt).
The one possible hole in this hypothesis is that there is an "error
(ignored)" line in there implying that at least one Interrupted got
eaten by an ignoreExceptionInDestructor. It's also unclear whether this
got reordered because of stderr buffering.

There is absolutely no good reason these should show up in NARs besides
misconfigured systems and as long as the case hack exists, unpacking
such a NAR will cause its repacking to be wrong on systems with case
hack enabled.
This should not have any security impact on Lix to fix, but it was one
of the vectors for CVE-2024-45593:

This also rewrites a lot of the command handling in the fixtures
library, since we want to more precisely control which way that the nix
store is set up in the tests, rather than the previous method of
renaming /nix/store to some temp dir (which allows builds but does not
allow any /nix/store paths or stability across runs, which is a
significant issue for snapshot testing).
It uses a builder to reduce the amount of state carelessly thrown
around.
The evil NARs are inspired by CVE-2024-45593
(https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/advisories/GHSA-h4vv-h3jq-v493).

The approach that was taken here was to add default values to the type
definitions rather than specify them whenever they are missing.
Now the only remaining warning is '-Wunused-parameter' which @jade said
is usually counterproductive and that we can just disable it:

So this change adds the flags '-Wall', '-Wextra' and
'-Wno-unused-parameter', so that all warnings are enabled except for
'-Wunused-parameter'.

There was a bug report about a potential call to `memcpy` with a null
pointer which is not reproducible:
#492
This occurred in `src/libstore/filetransfer.cc` in `InnerSource::read`.
To ensure that this doesn't happen, an early return is added before
calling `memcpy` if the length of the data to be copied is 0.
This change also adds a test that ensures that when `InnerSource::read`
is called with an empty file, it throws an `EndOfFile` exception.

we can use our newfound powers of Goal::work Is A Real Promise to remove
completed goals from continuation promises. apart from being much easier
to follow it's also a lot more efficient because we have the iterator to

Goal::work() is a fully usable promise that does not rely on the worker
to report completion conditions. as such we no longer need the `notify`
field that enabled this interplay. we do have to clear goal caches when
destroying the worker though, otherwise goal promises may (incorrectly)
keep goals alive due to strong shared pointers created by childStarted.
