jade 24057dcb6a Remove rl-next-dev
We realized that there's really no good place to put these dev facing
bulletins, and the user-facing release notes aren't really the worst
place to put them, I guess, and we do kind of hope that it converts
users to devs.

raito b8cb7abcf0 chore: rebrand Nix to Lix when it makes sense
Here's my guide so far:

$ rg '((?!(recursive).*) Nix
(?!(daemon|store|expression|Rocks!|Packages|language|derivation|archive|account|user|sandbox|flake).*))'
-g '!doc/' --pcre2

All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side:
that's for lix-project/lix#162.

Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which
were not relevant were also replaced.

Fixes: lix-project/lix#148.

alois31 f047e4357b libstore/build: always enable seccomp filtering and no-new-privileges
Seccomp filtering and the no-new-privileges functionality improve the security
of the sandbox, and have been enabled by default for a long time. In
lix-project/lix#265 it was decided that they
should be enabled unconditionally. Accordingly, remove the allow-new-privileges
(which had weird behavior anyway) and filter-syscall settings, and force the
security features on. Syscall filtering can still be enabled at build time to
support building on architectures libseccomp doesn't support.

jade 9530b7f2b2 Merge "packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so on" into main 2024-05-23 23:19:28 +00:00
jade c97e17144e packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so on
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.

We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.

This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.

Migration path:
expr.hh      -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h

To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.

Then run the following for out of tree projects:

```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src
```

nix3-build: show all FOD errors with --keep-going
Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.

The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.

Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

Closes lix-project/lix#302

libutil: remove the interrupt-blocking code
The interrupt-blocking code was originally introduced 20 years ago so that
trying to log an error message does not result in an interrupt exception being
thrown and then going unhandled (c8d3882cdc).
However, the logging code does not check for interrupts any more
(054be50257), so this reasoning is no longer
applicable. Delete this code so that later interrupts are unblocked again, for
example in the next line entered into the repl.

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.

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.

Robert Hensing b7ce11c97d Disallow store path names that are . or .. (plus opt. -)
As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.

Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.

What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.
