macOS doesn't have user namespacing, so the gid of the builder needs
to be nixbld. The logic got "has sandboxing enabled" confused with
"has user namespaces".
Fixes#7529.
This basically reverts 6e5165b773.
It fixes errors like
sandbox-exec: <internal init prelude>:292:47: unable to open sandbox-minimal.sb: not found
when trying to run a development Nix installed in a user's home
directory.
Also, we're trying to minimize the number of installed files
to make it possible to deploy Nix as a single statically-linked
binary.
Previously addTempRoot() acquired the LocalStore state lock and waited
for the garbage collector to reply. If the garbage collector is in the
same process (as it the case with auto-GC), this would deadlock as
soon as the garbage collector thread needs the LocalStore state lock.
So now addTempRoot() uses separate Syncs for the state that it
needs. As long at the auto-GC thread doesn't call addTempRoot() (which
it shouldn't), it shouldn't deadlock.
Fixes#3224.
This also moves the file handle into its own Sync object so we're not
holding the _state while acquiring the file lock. There was no real
deadlock risk here since locking a newly created file cannot block,
but it's still a bit nicer.
This has the same goal as b13fd4c58e81b2b2b0d72caa5ce80de861622610,but
achieves it in a different way in order to not break
`nix why-depends --derivation`.
In principle, this should avoid deadlocks where two instances of Nix are
holding a shared lock on big-lock and are both waiting to get an
exclusive lock.
However, it seems like `flock(2)` is supposed to do this automatically,
so it's not clear whether this is actually where the problem comes from.
This makes 'nix develop' set the Linux personality in the same way
that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop
nix#devShells.i686-linux.default' on x86_64-linux to work correctly.
Without this, the error is lost, and it makes for a hard to debug
situation. Also remove some of the busyness inside the sqlite_open_v2
args.
The errcode returned is not the extended one. The only way to make open
return an extended code, would be to add SQLITE_OPEN_EXRESCODE to the
flags. In the future it might be worth making this change,
which would also simplify the existing SQLiteError code.
They did not include the detailed error message, losing essential
information for troubleshooting.
Example message:
warning: creating statement 'insert or rplace into NARs(cache, hashPart, namePart, url, compression, fileHash, fileSize, narHash, narSize, refs, deriver, sigs, ca, timestamp, present) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1)': at offset 10: SQL logic error, near "rplace": syntax error (in '/tmp/nix-shell.grQ6f7/nix-test/tests/binary-cache/test-home/.cache/nix/binary-cache-v6.sqlite')
It's not the best example; more important information will be in
the message for e.g. a constraint violation.
I don't see why this specific error is printed as a warning, but
that's for another commit.
