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.

E.g.:

Ludovic Courtès ccb1022022 daemon: Do not error out when deduplication fails due to ENOSPC.
This solves a problem whereby if /gnu/store/.links had enough entries,
ext4's directory index would be full, leading to link(2) returning
ENOSPC.

* nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc (LocalStore::optimisePath_): Upon
ENOSPC from link(2), print a message and return instead of throwing a
'SysError'.

Eelco Dolstra 4494000e04 LocalStore: Allow the physical and logical store directories to differ
This is primarily to subsume the functionality of the
copy-from-other-stores substituter. For example, in the NixOS
installer, we can now do (assuming we're in the target chroot, and the
Nix store of the installation CD is bind-mounted on /tmp/nix):

  $ nix-build ... --option substituters 'local?state=/tmp/nix/var&real=/tmp/nix/store'

However, unlike copy-from-other-stores, this also allows write access
to such a store. One application might be fetching substitutes for
/nix/store in a situation where the user doesn't have sufficient
privileges to create /nix, e.g.:

  $ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=/home/alice/nix/var&real=/home/alice/nix/store" nix-build ...

This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't

Eelco Dolstra 4384bbd2e1 optimizePath(): Detect some .links corruption
If automatic store optimisation is enabled, and a hard-linked file in
the store gets corrupted, then the corresponding .links entry will
also be corrupted. In that case, trying to repair with --repair or
--repair-path won't work, because the new "good" file will be replaced
by a hard link to the corrupted file. We can catch most of these cases
by doing a sanity-check on the file sizes.

Wout Mertens e974f20c98 Preload linked hashes to speed up lookups
By preloading all inodes in the /nix/store/.links directory, we can
quickly determine of a hardlinked file was already linked to the hashed
links.
This is tolerant of removing the .links directory, it will simply
recalculate all hashes in the store.

wmertens a84f503d86 Shortcut already-hardlinked files
If an inode in the Nix store has more than 1 link, it probably means that it was linked into .links/ by us. If so, skip.

There's a possibility that something else hardlinked the file, so it would be nice to be able to override this.

Also, by looking at the number of hardlinks for each of the files in .links/, you can get deduplication numbers and space savings.

Eelco Dolstra b008674e46 Refactoring: Split off the non-recursive canonicalisePathMetaData()
Also, change the file mode before changing the owner.  This prevents a
slight time window in which a setuid binary would be setuid root.

Eelco Dolstra 5526a282b5 Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own
It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do

  ln /etc/shadow $out/foo

Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo,
causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but
writable by nobody).  That's obviously Very Bad.

Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because
/nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid
cross-device link".  It also fails if hard-link restrictions are
enabled, so a workaround is:

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks

The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build
user.  This means that innocuous operations like "ln
${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed
in chroot builds anyway.

Eelco Dolstra def5160b61 Clear any immutable bits in the Nix store
Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting
more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.
2013-01-03 12:59:23 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra b9c2b4d5b4 Remove setting of the immutable bit
Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with
store optimisation.  For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a
file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has
additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we
don't know the remaining paths.

So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only
mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit.  Unfortunately, we have
to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards
compatibility.

Eelco Dolstra 564fb7d9fa optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.links
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links
in /nix/store/.links.  For instance, if it encounters a file P with
hash H, it will create a hard link

  P' = /nix/store/.link/<H>

to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a
hard link to P'.  This is better than the previous in-memory map,
because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a
hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash
it encountered.  It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.

Eelco Dolstra bd013b6f98 On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit
I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by
creating *.pyc files when run as root.  On Linux, we can prevent this
by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr
+i’).  This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error
if setting the bit fails.  The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage
collector before deleting a path.  The only tricky aspect is in
optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an
immutable file.  Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable
bit before creating the link.
