Progress indicator: Show on what machine we're building
E.g.

  $ nix build nixpkgs.hello --builders 'root@wendy'

Dan Peebles 6e5165b773 Shift Darwin sandbox to separate installed files
This makes it slightly more manageable to see at a glance what in a
build's sandbox profile is unique to the build and what is standard. Also
a first step to factoring more of our Darwin logic into scheme functions
that will allow us a bit more flexibility. And of course less of that
nasty codegen in C++! 😀

Add option to disable the seccomp filter
I needed this to test ACL/xattr removal in
canonicalisePathMetaData(). Might also be useful if you need to build
old Nixpkgs that doesn't have the required patches to remove
setuid/setgid creation.

Eelco Dolstra 88e6bb76de Communicate the structured log FD to builders
Since we may use a dedicated file descriptor in the future, this

  if [[ -n $NIX_LOG_FD ]]; then
    echo "@nix { message... }" >&$NIX_LOG_FD

Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

Call queryMissing() prior to building
Without this, substitute info is fetched sequentially, which is
superslow. In the old UI (e.g. nix-build), we call printMissing(),
which calls queryMissing(), thereby preheating the binary cache
cache. But the new UI doesn't do that.

Add allow-new-privileges option
This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously
possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by
default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally,
any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder
itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this
ability for certain tests.

Example:

  $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges
  builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 2 log lines:
    cannot raise the capability into the Ambient set
    : Operation not permitted

  $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --allow-new-privileges
  builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 6 log lines:

macOS: Ugly hack to make the tests succeed
Sandboxes cannot be nested, so if Nix's build runs inside a sandbox,
it cannot use a sandbox itself. I don't see a clean way to detect
whether we're in a sandbox, so use a test-specific hack.

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).

Linux sandbox: Use /build instead of /tmp as $TMPDIR
There is a security issue when a build accidentally stores its $TMPDIR
in some critical place, such as an RPATH. If
TMPDIR=/tmp/nix-build-..., then any user on the system can recreate
that directory and inject libraries into the RPATH of programs
executed by other users. Since /build probably doesn't exist (or isn't
world-writable), this mitigates the issue.

Add an option for specifying remote builders
This is useful for one-off situations where you want to specify a
builder on the command line instead of having to mess with
nix.machines. E.g.

  $ nix-build -A hello --argstr system x86_64-darwin \
    --option builders 'root@macstadium1 x86_64-darwin'

will perform the specified build on "macstadium1".

It also removes the need for a separate nix.machines file since you
can specify builders in nix.conf directly. (In fact nix.machines is
yet another hack that predates the general nix.conf configuration
file, IIRC.)

Note: this option is supported by the daemon for trusted users. The
fact that this allows trusted users to specify paths to SSH keys to
which they don't normally have access is maybe a bit too much trust...

For backwards compatibility, if the URI is just a hostname, ssh://

This is useful for testing the remote build machinery since you don't
have to mess around with ssh.

Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:

    Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};

    {
      std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden

parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.

Sandbox: Fix /dev/ptmx on recent kernels
This fixes "No such file or directory" when opening /dev/ptmx
(e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/51094249).

The reason appears to be some changes to /dev/ptmx / /dev/pts handling
between Linux 4.4 and 4.9. See
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7832531/.

The fix is to go back to mounting a proper /dev/pts instance inside
the sandbox. Happily, this now works inside user namespaces, even for
unprivileged users. So

  NIX_REMOTE=local?root=/tmp/nix nix-build \
    '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test

works for non-root users.

The downside is that the fix breaks sandbox builds on older kernels
(probably pre-4.6), since mounting a devpts fails inside user
namespaces for some reason I've never been able to figure out. Builds
on those systems will fail with

  error: while setting up the build environment: mounting /dev/pts: Invalid argument

Ah well.

Dan Peebles e7cb2847ab Explicitly model all settings and fail on unrecognized ones
Previously, the Settings class allowed other code to query for string
properties, which led to a proliferation of code all over the place making
up new options without any sort of central registry of valid options. This
commit pulls all those options back into the central Settings class and
removes the public get() methods, to discourage future abuses like that.

Furthermore, because we know the full set of options ahead of time, we
now fail loudly if someone enters an unrecognized option, thus preventing
subtle typos. With some template fun, we could probably also dump the full
set of options (with documentation, defaults, etc.) to the command line,
but I'm not doing that yet here.

  }

where /etc/nix/netrc contains:

  login edolstra
  password blabla...

This works even when sandboxing is enabled.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 2cd468874f Include config.h implicitly with '-include config.h' in CFLAGS
Because config.h can #define things like _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and not
every compilation unit includes config.h, we currently compile half of
Nix with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and other half with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
unset. This causes major havoc with the Settings class on e.g. 32-bit ARM,
where different compilation units disagree with the struct layout.

exportReferencesGraph: Only export in JSON format when in structured mode
This prevents breaking compatibility with builders that read
"closure.*", since they would accidentally pick up the new JSON files.

exportReferencesGraph: Export more complete info in JSON format
This writes info about every path in the closure in the same format as
‘nix path-info --json’. Thus it also includes NAR hashes and sizes.

Example:

  [
    {
      "path": "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10",
      "narHash": "sha256:0ckdc4z20kkmpqdilx0wl6cricxv90lh85xpv2qljppcmz6vzcxl",
      "narSize": 197648,
      "references": [
        "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10",
        "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24"
      ],
      "closureSize": 20939776
    },
    {
      "path": "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24",
      "narHash": "sha256:1nfn3m3p98y1c0kd0brp80dn9n5mycwgrk183j17rajya0h7gax3",

Add support for passing structured data to builders
Previously, all derivation attributes had to be coerced into strings
so that they could be passed via the environment. This is lossy
(e.g. lists get flattened, necessitating configureFlags
vs. configureFlagsArray, of which the latter cannot be specified as an
attribute), doesn't support attribute sets at all, and has size
limitations (necessitating hacks like passAsFile).

This patch adds a new mode for passing attributes to builders, namely
encoded as a JSON file ".attrs.json" in the current directory of the
builder. This mode is activated via the special attribute

  __structuredAttrs = true;

(The idea is that one day we can set this in stdenv.mkDerivation.)

For example,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    __structuredAttrs = true;
    name = "foo";
    buildInputs = [ pkgs.hello pkgs.cowsay ];
    doCheck = true;
    hardening.format = false;
  }

results in a ".attrs.json" file containing (sans the indentation):

  {
    "buildInputs": [],
    "builder": "/nix/store/ygl61ycpr2vjqrx775l1r2mw1g2rb754-bash-4.3-p48/bin/bash",
    "configureFlags": [
      "--with-foo",
      "--with-bar=1 2"
    ],
    "doCheck": true,
    "hardening": {
      "format": false
    },
    "name": "foo",
    "nativeBuildInputs": [
      "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10",
      "/nix/store/4jnvjin0r6wp6cv1hdm5jbkx3vinlcvk-cowsay-3.03"
    ],
    "propagatedBuildInputs": [],
    "propagatedNativeBuildInputs": [],
    "stdenv": "/nix/store/f3hw3p8armnzy6xhd4h8s7anfjrs15n2-stdenv",
    "system": "x86_64-linux"
  }

"passAsFile" is ignored in this mode because it's not needed - large
strings are included directly in the JSON representation.

It is up to the builder to do something with the JSON
representation. For example, in bash-based builders, lists/attrsets of
string values could be mapped to bash (associative) arrays.

Kill builds when we get EOF on the log FD
This closes a long-time bug that allowed builds to hang Nix
indefinitely (regardless of timeouts) simply by doing

  exec > /dev/null 2>&1; while true; do true; done

Now, on EOF, we just send SIGKILL to the child to make sure it's
really gone.
