This closes a long-time bug that allowed builds to hang Nix
indefinitely (regardless of timeouts) simply by doing
exec > /dev/null 2>&1; while true; do true; done
Now, on EOF, we just send SIGKILL to the child to make sure it's
really gone.
That is, when build-repeat > 0, and the output of two rounds differ,
then print a warning rather than fail the build. This is primarily to
let Hydra check reproducibility of all packages.
These syscalls are only available in 32bit architectures, but libseccomp
should handle them correctly even if we're on native architectures that
do not have these syscalls.

Commands such as "cp -p" also use fsetxattr() in addition to fchown(),
so we need to make sure these syscalls always return successful as well
in order to avoid nasty "Invalid value" errors.

What we basically want is a seccomp mode 2 BPF program like this but for
every architecture:
BPF_STMT(BPF_LD+BPF_W+BPF_ABS, offsetof(struct seccomp_data, nr)),
BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP+BPF_JEQ+BPF_K, __NR_chown, 4, 0),
BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP+BPF_JEQ+BPF_K, __NR_fchown, 3, 0),
BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP+BPF_JEQ+BPF_K, __NR_fchownat, 2, 0),
BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP+BPF_JEQ+BPF_K, __NR_lchown, 1, 0),
BPF_STMT(BPF_RET+BPF_K, SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW),
BPF_STMT(BPF_RET+BPF_K, SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO)
However, on 32 bit architectures we do have chown32, lchown32 and
fchown32, so we'd need to add all the architecture blurb which
libseccomp handles for us.
So we only need to make sure that we add the 32bit seccomp arch while
we're on x86_64 and otherwise we just stay at the native architecture
which was set during seccomp_init(), which more or less replicates
setting 32bit personality during runChild().
The FORCE_SUCCESS() macro here could be a bit less ugly but I think
repeating the seccomp_rule_add() all over the place is way uglier.
Another way would have been to create a vector of syscalls to iterate
over, but that would make error messages uglier because we can either
only print the (libseccomp-internal) syscall number or use
seccomp_syscall_resolve_num_arch() to get the name or even make the
vector a pair number/name, essentially duplicating everything again.

This reverts commit ff0c0b645c.
We're going to use seccomp to allow "cp -p" and force chown-related
syscalls to always return 0.

For example, you can now set
build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl?
to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox
if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2
images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.
We can now write
throw Error("file '%s' not found", path);
instead of
throw Error(format("file '%s' not found") % path);
and similarly
printError("file '%s' not found", path);
instead of
printMsg(lvlError, format("file '%s' not found") % path);
This largely reverts c68e5913c7. Running
builds as root breaks "cp -p", since when running as root, "cp -p"
assumes that it can succesfully chown() files. But that's not actually
the case since the user namespace doesn't provide a complete uid
mapping. So it barfs with a fatal error message ("cp: failed to
preserve ownership for 'foo': Invalid argument").
This fixes an assertion failure in "assert(goal);" in
Worker::waitForInput() after a substitution goal is cancelled by the
termination of another goal. The problem was the line
//worker.childTerminated(shared_from_this()); // FIXME
in the SubstitutionGoal destructor. This was disabled because
shared_from_this() obviously doesn't work from a destructor. So we now
use a real pointer for object identity.
For example, you can now say:
configureFlags = "--prefix=${placeholder "out"} --includedir=${placeholder "dev"}";
The strings returned by the ‘placeholder’ builtin are replaced at
build time by the actual store paths corresponding to the specified
outputs.
Previously, you had to work around the inability to self-reference by doing stuff like:
preConfigure = ''
configureFlags+=" --prefix $out --includedir=$dev"
'';
or rely on ad-hoc variable interpolation semantics in Autoconf or Make
(e.g. --prefix=\$(out)), which doesn't always work.
This makes it easier to create a diverted store, i.e.
NIX_REMOTE="local?root=/tmp/root"
instead of
NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/root/nix/store&state=/tmp/root/nix/var/nix" NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/root/nix/var/log
This way, all builds appear to have a uid/gid of 0 inside the
chroot. In the future, this may allow using programs like
systemd-nspawn inside builds, but that will require assigning a larger
UID/GID map to the build.
Issue #625.
