nix dev-shell: Unset shellHook
This avoids inheriting the caller's shellHook, which can happen when

Fix displaying error-position in builtins.fetch{Tree,Tarball}

Guillaume Bouchard 2e5be2a749 StringSink pre allocate
When used with `readFile`, we have a pretty good heuristic of the file
size, so `reserve` this in the `string`. This will save some allocation
/ copy when the string is growing.

Antoine Eiche ca93b26db6 Only call grantpt on MacOS systems
The commit 3cc1125595 adds a `grantpt`
call on the builder pseudo terminal fd. This call is actually only
required for MacOS, but it however requires a RW access to /dev/pts
which is only RO bindmounted in the Bazel Linux sandbox. So, Nix can
not be actually run in the Bazel Linux sandbox for unneeded reasons.

Guillaume Bouchard 5a34a473dd builtins.readFile: do not truncate content
This closes #3026 by allowing `builtins.readFile` to read a file with a
wrongly reported file size, for example, files in `/proc` may report a
file size of 0. Reading file in `/proc` is not a good enough motivation,
however I do think it just makes nix more robust by allowing more file
to be read.  Especially, I do considerer the previous behavior to be
dangerous because nix was previously reading truncated files. Examples
of file system which incorrectly report file size may be network file
system or dynamic file system (for performance reason, a dynamic file
system such as FUSE may generate the content of the file on demand).

```
nix-repl> builtins.readFile "/proc/version"
""
```

With this commit:

```
nix-repl> builtins.readFile "/proc/version"
"Linux version 5.6.7 (nixbld@localhost) (gcc version 9.3.0 (GCC)) #1-NixOS SMP Thu Apr 23 08:38:27 UTC 2020\n"
```

Here is a summary of the behavior changes:

- If the reported size is smaller, previous implementation
was silently returning a truncated file content. The new implementation
is returning the correct file content.

- If a file had a bigger reported file size, previous implementation was
failing with an exception, but the new implementation is returning the
correct file content. This change of behavior is coherent with this pull
request.

Open questions

- The behavior is unchanged for correctly reported file size, however
performances may vary because it uses the more complex sink interface.
Considering that sink is used a lot, I don't think this impacts the
performance a lot.
- `builtins.readFile` on an infinite file, such as `/dev/random` may
fill the memory.
- it does not support adding file to store, such as `${/proc/version}`.

Fix long paths permanently breaking GC

Fix long paths permanently breaking GC
Suppose I have a path /nix/store/[hash]-[name]/a/a/a/a/a/[...]/a,
long enough that everything after "/nix/store/" is longer than 4096
(MAX_PATH) bytes.

Nix will happily allow such a path to be inserted into the store,
because it doesn't look at all the nested structure.  It just cares
about the /nix/store/[hash]-[name] part.  But, when the path is deleted,
we encounter a problem.  Nix will move the path to /nix/store/trash, but
then when it's trying to recursively delete the trash directory, it will
at some point try to unlink
/nix/store/trash/[hash]-[name]/a/a/a/a/a/[...]/a.  This will fail,
because the path is too long.  After this has failed, any store deletion
operation will never work again, because Nix needs to delete the trash
directory before recreating it to move new things to it.  (I assume this
is because otherwise a path being deleted could already exist in the
trash, and then moving it would fail.)

This means that if I can trick somebody into just fetching a tarball
containing a path of the right length, they won't be able to delete
store paths or garbage collect ever again, until the offending path is
manually removed from /nix/store/trash.  (And even fixing this manually
is quite difficult if you don't understand the issue, because the
absolute path that Nix says it failed to remove is also too long for
rm(1).)

This patch fixes the issue by making Nix's recursive delete operation
use unlinkat(2).  This function takes a relative path and a directory
file descriptor.  We ensure that the relative path is always just the
name of the directory entry, and therefore its length will never exceed
255 bytes.  This means that it will never even come close to AX_PATH,
and Nix will therefore be able to handle removing arbitrarily deep
directory hierachies.

Since the directory file descriptor is used for recursion after being
used in readDirectory, I made a variant of readDirectory that takes an
already open directory stream, to avoid the directory being opened
multiple times.  As we have seen from this issue, the less we have to
interact with paths, the better, and so it's good to reuse file
descriptors where possible.

I left _deletePath as succeeding even if the parent directory doesn't
exist, even though that feels wrong to me, because without that early
return, the linux-sandbox test failed.

Linus Heckemann f59404e1a6 nix-env: refactor uninstallDerivations
Reduces the number of store queries it performs. Also prints a warning
if any of the selectors did not match any installed derivations.

UX Caveats:
- Will print a warning that nothing matched if a previous selector
  already removed the path
- Will not do anything if no selectors were provided (no change from
  before).

Andreas Rammhold d2c371927e SourceExprCommand: allocate the vSourceExpr via uncollectable memory
Previously the memory would occasionally be collected during eval since
the GC doesn't consider the member variable as alive / doesn't scan the
region of memory where the pointer lives.

By using the traceable_allocator<T> allocator provided by Boehm GC we
can ensure the memory isn't collected. It should be properly freed when
SourceExprCommand goes out of scope.

never use /var/folders for TMPDIR on darwin
This doesn't just cause problems for nix-store --serve but also results
in certain build failures. Builds that use unix domain sockets in their
tests often fail because the /var/folders prefix already consumes more
than half of the maximum length of socket paths.

Bruce Toll e8bd1bc732 Add test case for temporary directories on darwin
A test case for correct handling of temporary directory deletion that
was added to check.sh as part of PR #2689 was initially disabled for
Darwin because of a directory permission issue in PR #2688.

Now that the issue in PR #2688 is fixed, this commit enables the test
case for Darwin.

Bruce Toll 8132d0a12e Fix nix-build --check -K in sandbox w/o root
Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.

This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.

Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.

Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
