Eelco Dolstra b72e93bca8 Add disallowedReferences / disallowedRequisites
For the "stdenv accidentally referring to bootstrap-tools", it seems
easier to specify the path that we don't want to depend on, e.g.

  disallowedRequisites = [ bootstrapTools ];

Eelco Dolstra 524f89f139 Use unshare() instead of clone()
It turns out that using clone() to start a child process is unsafe in
a multithreaded program. It can cause the initialisation of a build
child process to hang in setgroups(), as seen several times in the
build farm:

The reason is that Glibc thinks that the other threads of the parent
exist in the child, so in setxid_mark_thread() it tries to get a futex
that has been acquired by another thread just before the clone(). With
fork(), Glibc runs pthread_atfork() handlers that take care of this
(in particular, __reclaim_stacks()). But clone() doesn't do that.

Fortunately, we can use fork()+unshare() instead of clone() to set up
private namespaces.

Eelco Dolstra 954188af27 Filter Nix-specific ANSI escape sequences from stderr
The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote
nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole)
ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit
of the latter, filter them out.

Ludovic Courtès e7720aa10a Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable
While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems
/dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my
Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating
3.10-3 reported not having this problem.)

There’s still the problem that people without
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc),
but I don’t see how we could work around it.

Eelco Dolstra acb8facbbc Fix potential segfault in waitForInput()
Since the addition of build-max-log-size, a call to
handleChildOutput() can result in cancellation of a goal.  This
invalidated the "j" iterator in the waitForInput() loop, even though
it was still used afterwards.  Likewise for the maxSilentTime
handling.

Probably fixes #231.  At least it gets rid of the valgrind warnings.

Ludovic Courtès 24cb65efc3 Make /dev/kvm optional
The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!).  However, it
expects /dev/kvm to be present.

The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems,
and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists.

I’m not sure about the way to handle (2).  We could special-case
/dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so
it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely,
if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.

Eelco Dolstra 3fd01b171a Set up a minimal /dev in chroots
Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with
/dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.

Eelco Dolstra 29cde917fe Fix deadlock in SubstitutionGoal
We were relying on SubstitutionGoal's destructor releasing the lock,
but if a goal is a top-level goal, the destructor won't run in a
timely manner since its reference count won't drop to zero.  So
release it explicitly.

Fixes #178.

Eelco Dolstra 1aa19b24b2 Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed.  This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)

For example:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
  ...
  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
  error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'

The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid.  Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.

The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

Eelco Dolstra 69fe6c58fa Move some code around
In particular, do replacing of valid paths during repair later.  This
prevents us from replacing a valid path after the build fails.
