Qyriad 005b2b61e6 fix fallback chroot store creation after b247ef72d
When /nix/var (or, more precisely, NIX_STATE_DIR) does not exist at all,
Lix falls back to creating an adhoc chroot store in XDG_DATA_HOME.

b247ef72d[1] changed the way Store classes are initialized, and in the
migration, a `params2` was accidentally changed to `params`. This commit
restores the correct behavior, and in lieu of a single *character* fix,
this commit also changes the variable name to something more reasonable.

Fixes #274.

[1]: b247ef72dc

n.b., this code might deserve some more looking at anyway. this fallback
store creation throws away *all* Store params passed to
openFromNonUri() in favor of an entirely new set which only contains
the `root` param, which may or may not be the correct behavior

eldritch horrors f75d0752ce filetransfer: correctly abort empty transfers
returning 0 from the callback for errors signals successful transfer if
the source returned no data even though the exception we've just caught
clearly disagrees. while this is not all that important (since the only
viable cause of such errors will be dataCallback, and the sole instance
of it being used already takes care of exceptions) we can just do this.

Fix failing darwin tests
Some tests were failing on darwin,
if the auto-allocate-uids featrure was enabled.
This was because AAU on darwin works by setuid-ing as a non-existent
user, so the tests that were relying on `whoami` were failing.

In the case of trusted-users we fall back to printing the user id,
which is already handled gracefully in the daemon code - i.e. when
a user does not exist or for some other reason looking up their
username is not possible, the daemon falls back to searching for their
uid inside the trusted-users list.

When whoami is used to print the username for other purpose,
we default to printing nixbld.

jade 748d8310fa Fix the pages in the manual for Lix
This doesn't comprehensively fix everything outdated in the manual, or
make the manual greatly better, but it does note down where at least
jade noticed it was wrong, and it does fix all the instances of
referencing Nix to conform to the style guide to the best of our
ability.

A lot of things have been commented out for being wrong, and there are
three types of FIXME introduced:

- FIXME(Lix): generically Lix needs to fix it
- FIXME(Qyriad): re lix-project/lix#215
- FIXME(meson): docs got outdated by meson changes and need rewriting

I did fix a bunch of it that I could, but there could certainly be
mistakes and this is definitely just an incremental improvement.

Qyriad 99903f24eb fix integer overflow on i686 with high phys memory
sizeof(long) is 4 bytes on i686 GCC.
With ~32 GiB of memory and a page size of 4096, there are 7988420 pages.
(7988420 * 4096) is bigger than INT32_MAX folks.

This has gone unnoticed for 9 years, and only came up thanks to
94ea517db[1] adding integer overflow sensitization checks, which caused
this broken code to emit an illegal instruction, crashing Lix the
instant the buildsystem ran Lix to generate the docs files.

jade e3b702fa22 Actually try making a userns before assuming they don't work
If unprivileged userns are *believed* to be disabled (such as with
"kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0"), Lix would previously *give up*
on trying to use a user namespace before actually trying it, even if, in
cases such as unprivileged_userns_clone, it would actually be allowed
since Nix has CAP_SYS_ADMIN when running as daemon.

(see, e.g. 25d4709a4f)

We changed it to actually try it first, and then diagnose possible
causes, and also to be more loud about the whole thing, using warnings
instead of debugs. These warnings will only print on the first build run
by the daemon, which is, tbh, eh, shrug.

This is what led to us realizing that no-userns was a poorly exercised
condition.

jade 9909a175bf Fix /etc/group having desynced IDs from the actual UID in the sandbox
This was found when `logrotate.conf` failed to build in a NixOS system
with:

    /nix/store/26zdl4pyw5qazppj8if5lm8bjzxlc07l-coreutils-9.3/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 30000

This was surprising because it seemed to mean that /etc/group was busted
in the sandbox. Indeed it was:

    root0:
    nixbld:!💯
    nogroup65534:

We diagnosed this to sandboxUid() being called before
usingUserNamespace() was called, in setting up /etc/group inside the
sandbox. This code desperately needs refactoring.

We also moved the /etc/group code to be with the /etc/passwd code, but
honestly this code is all spaghetti'd all over the place and needs some
more serious tidying than we did here.

We also moved some checks to be earlier to improve locality with where
the things they are checking come from.

This has the following downsides:

* you cannot build Lix against nixos-unstable.
* this will immediately break as soon as libseccomp will hit
  nixos-23.11 (given that people will probably use the package.nix via
  our overlay or override nixpkgs via `follows`).

Hence, removing the assert again and add a better FIXME comment.

Maximilian Bosch 0e38720502 Revert "Revert "Merge pull request #6621 from Kha/nested-follows""
This reverts commit a8b3d777fb.

This undoes the revert of PR#6621, which allows nested `follows`, i.e.

    {
      inputs = {
        foo.url = "github:bar/foo";
        foo.inputs.bar.inputs.nixpkgs = "nixpkgs";
      };
    }

does the expected thing now. This is useful to avoid the 1000 instances
of nixpkgs problem without having each flake in the dependency tree to
expose all of its transitive dependencies for modification.

This was in fact part of Nix before and the C++ changes applied w/o
conflicts. However, it got reverted then because people didn't want to
merge lazy-trees against it which was supposed to be merged soon back in
October 2022.

Maximilian Bosch 045ee37438 libstore/local-derivation-goal: prohibit creating setuid/setgid binaries
With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.

Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:

> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.

Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.

This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:

    $ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
    58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
    67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
    62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
    70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452

    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
    59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562

I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.

Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.

To work around that

* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
  scheduled[3].

* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
  provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
  away.

We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

Théophane Hufschmitt 8458d98b27 Rename nix show-config to nix config show
Part of #7672

My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].

I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

(cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41)

[1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig
[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix
    because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
    better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
    sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
    want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
    can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
    quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
    in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
    nixpkgs itself for Lix.

eldritch horrors d55b158e24 libutil: make rewriteStrings sound
this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in
derivations, generating scripts for devShells, and some more
places. in all of these transitive replacements are unsound,
and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA
RewriteSink suite), but none for overlapping replacements. a
minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any
of these replacements, the only reason we have not seen this
break yet is probably that rewriteStrings is only called for
store paths and things that look like store paths (and those
should never overlap nor admit such transitive replacements)
