Eelco Dolstra 56e30e161c In the chroot, make all mounted filesystems private
This is required on systemd, which mounts filesystems as "shared"
subtrees.  Changes to shared trees in a private mount namespace are
propagated to the outside world, which is bad.

Eelco Dolstra 3e89ef597c Optimise concatenating a list to an empty list
More precisely, in concatLists, if all lists except one are empty,
then just return the non-empty list.  This reduces the number of list
element allocations by 32% when evaluating a NixOS system
configuration.

Eelco Dolstra 9c2d63084b Add a primop ‘elemAt’ to get an element from a list 2012-08-13 13:46:42 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 198d0338be Add a primop ‘concatLists’
This can serve as a generic efficient list builder.  For instance, the
function ‘catAttrs’ in Nixpkgs can be rewritten from

  attr: l: fold (s: l: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] ++ l else l) [] l

to

  attr: l: builtins.concatLists (map (s: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] else []) l)

Eelco Dolstra 4ccd48ce24 Add a "filter" primop
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the
"filter" function in Nixpkgs.  As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a
O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more
efficient (i.e. primop) implementation.  Using it gives a ~10% speed
increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations.

Eelco Dolstra e82767910c Add some basic profiling support to the evaluator
Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some
basic profiling in the evaluator.  It will count calls to functions
and primops as well as evaluations of attributes.

letting the substituter tell Nix about the expected hash, which can
then verify it.

Shea Levy f5954e2d94 prim_import: When importing .drvs, allocate the intermediate attrset on the heap just in case it escapes the stack frame. 2012-07-25 09:30:17 -04:00
Shea Levy b1112bbef1 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation attrset.
The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with
the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output.

I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more):

* Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix)

* Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver
  for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed
  in environment.systemPackages, for example.

* Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an
  input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH
  (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build
  being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this
  feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

Eelco Dolstra 680ab6f83d Garbage collect unused links in /nix/store/.links
Incremental optimisation requires creating links in /nix/store/.links
to all files in the store.  However, this means that if we delete a
store path, no files are actually deleted because links in
/nix/store/.links still exists.  So we need to check /nix/store/.links
for files with a link count of 1 and delete them.

2012-07-23 17:14:15 -04:00
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 ccc52adfb2 Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5").  (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.)  However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory.  queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

Eelco Dolstra 58ef4d9a95 Add a function queryValidPaths()
queryValidPaths() combines multiple calls to isValidPath() in one.

Eelco Dolstra 425cc612ad build.cc: Don't use hasSubstitute()
Instead make a single call to querySubstitutablePathInfo() per
derivation output.  This is faster and prevents having to implement
the "have" function in the binary cache substituter.

Eelco Dolstra 11800e6198 download-from-binary-cache: parallelise fetching of NAR info files
Getting substitute information using the binary cache substituter has
non-trivial latency overhead.  A package or NixOS system configuration
can have hundreds of dependencies, and in the worst case (when the
local info cache is empty) we have to do a separate HTTP request for
each of these.  If the ping time to the server is t, getting N info
files will take tN seconds; e.g., with a ping time of 0.1s to
nixos.org, sequentially downloading 1000 info files (a typical NixOS
config) will take at least 100 seconds.

To fix this problem, the binary cache substituter can now perform
requests in parallel.  This required changing the substituter
interface to support a function querySubstitutablePathInfos() that
queries multiple paths at the same time, and rewriting queryMissing()
to take advantage of parallelism.  (Due to local caching,
parallelising queryMissing() is sufficient for most use cases, since
it's almost always called before building a derivation and thus fills
the local info cache.)

For example, parallelism speeds up querying all 1056 paths in a
particular NixOS system configuration from 116s to 2.6s.  It works so
well because the eccentricity of the top-level derivation in the
dependency graph is only 9.  So we only need 10 round-trips (when
using an unlimited number of parallel connections) to get everything.

Currently we do a maximum of 150 parallel connections to the server.
Thus it's important that the binary cache server (e.g. nixos.org) has
a high connection limit.  Alternatively we could use HTTP pipelining,
but WWW::Curl doesn't support it and libcurl has a hard-coded limit of
5 requests per pipeline.

Eelco Dolstra 1db38ae81b When using chroots, use a private PID namespace
In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from
the rest of the system.  The initial child gets PID 1.  Processes in
the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot.  This improves
isolation between builds.  However, processes on the outside can see
processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have
appropriate rights).

Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in
the chroot.  This might turn out to be a problem.  In that case we'll
need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().

This improves isolation a bit further, and it's just one extra flag in
the unshare() call.

P.S. It would be very cool to use CLONE_NEWPID (to put the builder in
a private PID namespace) as well, but that's slightly more risky since
having a builder start as PID 1 may cause problems.

Eelco Dolstra df716c98d2 In chroot builds, use a private network namespace
On Linux it's possible to run a process in its own network namespace,
meaning that it gets its own set of network interfaces, disjunct from
the rest of the system.  We use this to completely remove network
access to chroot builds, except that they get a private loopback
interface.  This means that:

- Builders cannot connect to the outside network or to other processes
  on the same machine, except processes within the same build.

- Vice versa, other processes cannot connect to processes in a chroot
  build, and open ports/connections do not show up in "netstat".

- If two concurrent builders try to listen on the same port (e.g. as
  part of a test), they no longer conflict with each other.

This was inspired by the "PrivateNetwork" flag in systemd.

Eelco Dolstra 2f3f413e91 Support socket-based, on-demand activation of the Nix daemon with systemd
Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket
is first accessed.  This is signalled through the LISTEN_FDS
environment variable, so all we need to do is check for that and then
use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one
ourselves.

Eelco Dolstra 4bc4da331a Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector
We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full.  Since this
prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we
reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage
collection.  This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB
days.

Eelco Dolstra 46cdc6ad51 Handle EPERM when creating a hard link for the chroot
There is a race condition when doing parallel builds with chroots and
the immutable bit enabled.  One process may call makeImmutable()
before the other has called link(), in which case link() will fail
with EPERM.  We could retry or wrap the operation in a lock, but since
this condition is rare and I'm lazy, we just use the existing copy
fallback.

Fixes #9.

Eelco Dolstra 117670be57 Make the garbage collector more concurrent
Make the garbage collector more concurrent by deleting valid paths
outside the region where we're holding the global GC lock.  This
should greatly reduce the time during which new builds are blocked,
since the deletion accounts for the vast majority of the time spent in
the GC.

To ensure that this is safe, the valid paths are invalidated and
renamed to some arbitrary path while we're holding the lock.  This
ensures that we when we finally delete the path, it's not a (newly)
valid or locked path.

2012-03-01 16:06:49 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fe13e6aba Fix chroots builds
Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to
the chroot.  This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set,
because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files.  So
temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the
chroot.

Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very
reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we
run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’.  So
maybe we should only make directories immutable.
2012-02-18 01:23:52 +01:00
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.

  longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process.  Also, it
  uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
  separate nix-store process either.  As a result, nix-copy-closure
  and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
  to an "Argument list too long" error.  (Note that having very many
  dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
  environment can become too large.  Can't be helped though.)

Shea Levy bf50d6ad32 Add information about which output is active to drvPath's context
This will break things that depend on being able to just strip away an equals sign, so those have to be updated next

Shea Levy ffa038f66d Add an sCurrentOutput member to EvalState 2011-09-16 11:30:44 +00:00
Shea Levy f3e410d4bf Add a currentOutput attribute to derivations keep track of which output is active 2011-09-16 11:30:03 +00:00
Shea Levy c172d16b00 First attempt at the output-as-derivation semantics
For each output, this adds a corresponding attribute to the derivation that is
the same as the derivation except for outPath, which is set to the path specific
to that output. Additionally, an "all" attribute is added that is a list of all
of the output derivations. This has to be done outside of derivationStrict as
each output is itself a derivation that contains itself (and all other outputs)
as an attribute. The derivation itself is equivalent to the first output in the
outputs list (or "out" if that list isn't set).
2011-09-14 05:59:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 13114daa3e * Ouch. A store upgrade could cause a substituter to be triggered,
causing a deadlock.
2011-09-12 09:07:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e6cb3d0a0d * Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whether
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified.
  E.g.

    $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system)
    path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa'

  All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been
  modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-09-06 12:06:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93227ff65c * Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.
This should also fix:

    nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

  which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’
  object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-08-31 21:11:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d663b502d * Cache the result of file evaluation (i.e, memoize evalFile()). This
prevents files from being evaluated and stored as values multiple
  times.  For instance, evaluation of the ‘system’ attribute in NixOS
  causes ‘nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix’ to be evaluated 2019 times.

  Caching gives a modest speedup and a decent memory footprint
  reduction (e.g., from 1.44s to 1.28s, and from 81 MiB to 59 MiB with
  GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 on my system).
2011-08-06 19:45:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d091ee99a * Handle the case where the search path element is a regular file. 2011-08-06 18:45:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 00a724ebc6 * Remove a debug statement. 2011-08-06 18:24:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07340b8be7 * Add the Nix corepkgs to the end of the search path. This makes it
possible for other Nix expressions to use corepkgs (mostly useful
  for the buildenv function).
2011-08-06 18:23:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c7101dac0b * Allow redirections in search path entries. E.g. if you have a
directory

    /home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates

  that you want to use as the directory for import such as

    with (import <nixpkgs> { });

  then you can say

    $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates
2011-08-06 17:48:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1ecc97b6bd * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle
brackets, e.g.

    import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>

  are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
  the search path.  This allows us to get rid of hacks like

    import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"

  The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
  and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
  e.g.,

    $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...

  If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
  lazily thrown.
2011-08-06 16:05:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 54945a2950 * Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() into
the EvalState class.
2011-08-06 13:02:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c8606664ab * Don't allow derivations with fixed and non-fixed outputs. 2011-07-20 18:26:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b2027f70d9 * Fix a huuuuge security hole in the Nix daemon. It didn't check that
derivations added to the store by clients have "correct" output
  paths (meaning that the output paths are computed by hashing the
  derivation according to a certain algorithm).  This means that a
  malicious user could craft a special .drv file to build *any*
  desired path in the store with any desired contents (so long as the
  path doesn't already exist).  Then the attacker just needs to wait
  for a victim to come along and install the compromised path.

  For instance, if Alice (the attacker) knows that the latest Firefox
  derivation in Nixpkgs produces the path

    /nix/store/1a5nyfd4ajxbyy97r1fslhgrv70gj8a7-firefox-5.0.1

  then (provided this path doesn't already exist) she can craft a .drv
  file that creates that path (i.e., has it as one of its outputs),
  add it to the store using "nix-store --add", and build it with
  "nix-store -r".  So the fake .drv could write a Trojan to the
  Firefox path.  Then, if user Bob (the victim) comes along and does

    $ nix-env -i firefox
    $ firefox

  he executes the Trojan injected by Alice.

  The fix is to have the Nix daemon verify that derivation outputs are
  correct (in addValidPath()).  This required some refactoring to move
  the hash computation code to libstore.
2011-07-20 18:10:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d329c3ea9d * Support multiple outputs. A derivation can declare multiple outputs
by setting the ‘outputs’ attribute.  For example:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      name = "aterm-2.5";

      src = ...;

      outputs = [ "out" "tools" "dev" ];

      configureFlags = "--bindir=$(tools)/bin --includedir=$(dev)/include";
    }

  This derivation creates three outputs, named like this:

    /nix/store/gcnqgllbh01p3d448q8q6pzn2nc2gpyl-aterm-2.5
    /nix/store/gjf1sgirwfnrlr0bdxyrwzpw2r304j02-aterm-2.5-tools
    /nix/store/hp6108bqfgxvza25nnxfs7kj88xi2vdx-aterm-2.5-dev

  That is, the symbolic name of the output is suffixed to the store
  path (except for the ‘out’ output).  Each path is passed to the
  builder through the corresponding environment variable, e.g.,
  ${tools}.

  The main reason for multiple outputs is to allow parts of a package
  to be distributed and garbage-collected separately.  For instance,
  most packages depend on Glibc for its libraries, but don't need its
  header files.  If these are separated into different store paths,
  then a package that depends on the Glibc libraries only causes the
  libraries and not the headers to be downloaded.

  The main problem with multiple outputs is that if one output exists
  while the others have been garbage-collected (or never downloaded in
  the first place), and we want to rebuild the other outputs, then
  this isn't possible because we can't clobber a valid output (it
  might be in active use).  This currently gives an error message
  like:

    error: derivation `/nix/store/1s9zw4c8qydpjyrayxamx2z7zzp5pcgh-aterm-2.5.drv' is blocked by its output paths

  There are two solutions: 1) Do the build in a chroot.  Then we don't
  need to overwrite the existing path.  2) Use hash rewriting (see the
  ASE-2005 paper).  Scary but it should work.

  This is not finished yet.  There is not yet an easy way to refer to
  non-default outputs in Nix expressions.  Also, mutually recursive
  outputs aren't detected yet and cause the garbage collector to
  crash.
2011-07-18 23:31:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d5d4dcd4c9 * Allow attribute names to be strings. Based on the
allow-arbitrary-strinsg-in-names patch by Marc Weber.
2011-07-13 15:53:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0a623a10c7 * Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing
x.y.z or default

  (as originally proposed in
  https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).

  For instance, an expression like

    stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args

  can now be written as

    args.features.ckSched or false
2011-07-13 12:19:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b9e29b1c8 * Change the right-hand side of the ‘.’ operator from an attribute to
an attribute path.  This is a refactoring to support default values.
2011-07-06 12:28:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5637037802 * In the ‘?’ operator, allow attribute paths. For instance, you can
write ‘attrs ? a.b’ to test whether ‘attrs’ has an attribute ‘a’
  containing an attribute ‘b’.  This is more convenient than ‘attrs ?
  a && attrs.a ? b’.

  Slight change in the semantics: it's no longer an error if the
  left-hand side of ‘?’ is not an attribute set.  In that case it just
  returns false.  So, ‘null ? foo’ no longer throws an error.
2011-07-06 10:58:17 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 5c9e9f732d Add support for the build-timeout' and --timeout' options. 2011-06-30 15:19:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8c69dac8a1 * Handle error messages from the Nix worker containing the `%'
character.  (Nix/216)
2011-04-19 10:44:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ba6afaf48 * nix-env -ub' (--prebuilt-only') didn't really work because it
checked too soon whether substitutes are available.  That is, it did
  so for every available package, rather than those matching installed
  packages.  This was very slow and subject to assertion failures.  So
  do the check much later.  Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.
2011-04-11 16:27:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 538b7caab0 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with
little RAM.  Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause
  problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel.  So use a VM
  space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.
2011-02-10 14:31:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5a6b039802 * Don't call GC_expand_hp unless we're actually using the garbage
collector.
2011-02-09 22:59:50 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès f1462c208b Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable. 2011-02-09 21:23:13 +00:00

when they are defined
2011-02-05 16:29:10 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra 9db190eb31 * builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string,
return the empty string.
2011-01-14 12:47:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c931a7aec5 * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY. 2010-12-17 17:23:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1eb252172 * Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the Nix
daemon.
2010-12-17 11:28:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3dd02580e3 * I forgot to catch SQLiteBusy in registerValidPaths(). So
registerValidPaths() now handles busy errors and registerValidPath()
  is simply a wrapper around it.
2010-12-14 13:25:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13 16:53:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5833243c92 * Create /nix/var/nix/db if it's missing. 2010-12-13 13:42:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 100becf8d1 * createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's a
directory.
* Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().
2010-12-13 13:32:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7ca6f44eb * Update some comments. 2010-12-13 13:19:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4720b1a79 * Ignore the result of sqlite3_reset(). 2010-12-08 18:19:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8062d3af30 * `nix-store --verify --check-contents': don't hold the global GC lock
while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very
  long time to finish.  Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
  while doing this.
2010-12-06 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra de79d23f76 * Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happen
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
  returned to resolve deadlocks.  This should get rid of random
  "database is locked" errors.  This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
  be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
  commit might not succeed.
2010-12-05 18:23:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77f7a6d591 * Quick hack around one of the pathological cases in bsdiff
(namely, when there is a long region of 0s).  On one 86 MiB
  case, this cut patch generation time from 44m to 2m.
2010-11-29 17:07:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 703e5a2ce2 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-25 14:09:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 812fae424e * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should be
traced by the garbage collector.  Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash
  randomly.
2010-11-25 13:47:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bdf089f463 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths
will approximately require.
2010-11-17 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e60c962fb8 * Add an operation `nix-store -q --size'. 2010-11-17 12:40:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1db6259076 * Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo(). 2010-11-17 12:08:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3883cbd28 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump
  PATH').  This is useful for Hydra.
2010-11-16 17:11:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fb9368b5a0 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-16 12:49:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 26def5392f * Document Boehm GC support. 2010-10-29 14:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 14fbf85380 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
2010-10-29 13:11:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the
latter.
2010-10-28 12:50:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e11e6fb1c6 * Handle out of memory condition. 2010-10-28 12:29:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24 20:09:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24 19:52:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
2010-10-24 14:20:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black
tree).  This saves a lot of memory.  The vector should be sorted so
  that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
  case yet.  (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
  doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

  Memory consumption for

    $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode

  on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
  MiB on the trunk).
2010-10-24 00:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a247d20604 * Fix compiling without Boehm.
* Fix the stats.
2010-10-23 22:58:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b2ba62170c * Optimise string constants by putting them in the symbol table. 2010-10-23 21:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info.
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.
2010-10-23 20:07:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
  keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
  alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.
2010-10-22 15:51:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly.  This improves
  the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
  stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
  causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22 14:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 76feaf016a * Keep some more stats. 2010-10-20 15:48:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e879a0371b * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix
expression evaluator.
2010-10-20 11:38:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64fd29855a * Wrap deleteFromStore() in a transaction. Otherwise there might be a
race with other processes that add new referrers to a path,
  resulting in the garbage collector crashing with "foreign key
  constraint failed".  (Nix/4)
* Make --gc --print-dead etc. interruptible.
2010-10-14 15:55:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Without this, on 
  OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then 
  the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct 
  stat", or vice versa.

  This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.

* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
  The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
  of the loop before.
2010-10-04 17:55:38 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra 450837bcc8 * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an
exception handler, otherwise throw an exception.  We need to ignore
  write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs
  to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed
  unexpectedly.
2010-10-04 11:23:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4aa9245083 * Hack needed for GCC 4.3.2 on OpenSolaris. 2010-10-04 10:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 923736df38 * Doh. Remove debug message. 2010-09-14 12:47:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4907411c2 * Only do "pragma journal_mode = ..." if the current journal mode
differs from the desired mode.  There is an open SQLite ticket
  `Executing "PRAGMA journal_mode" may delete journal file while it is
  in use.'
2010-09-01 11:36:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bf0dde9597 * Always print hook output on stderr, even if --no-build-output is
set.
* In the build hook, print a trace message to allow Hydra to pick up
  the name of the remote machine used for the build.
2010-08-31 12:36:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2e168f7c2 `nix-store --verify' improvements:
* If a path has disappeared, check its referrers first, and don't try
  to invalidate paths that have valid referrers.  Otherwise we get a
  foreign key constraint violation.
* Read the whole Nix store directory instead of statting each valid
  path, which is slower.
* Acquire the global GC lock.
2010-08-31 11:47:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80e722278c * When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder.  Only the
  latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs.
* Allow the verbosity to be set through an option.
* Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
2010-08-30 14:53:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 20acd43c25 * Disable the GC reachability check for now (when creating new roots),
as it's hopelessly inefficient.
2010-08-30 14:11:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 766f708418 * Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g.

    requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];

  We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM
  support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support.  Probably
  this should also be enforced for local builds.
2010-08-27 13:18:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df50916e46 * Oops - "null" was displayed as "true". 2010-08-27 12:10:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e437b08250 * Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting
the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build
  (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering
  those queries until it accepts a build.  So if there are N
  derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.

Eelco Dolstra fd9c77dfc7 * Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot
faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only
  performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every
  commit.  Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos
  -A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script:

    42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync
     3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync
    32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync
    16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 1000 pages
     8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 8192 pages
     1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync

  The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs.  Because WAL doesn't
  work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory),
  truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal"
  option to false.
2010-08-04 17:35:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 750be19ae8 * Remove "auto" and "guess" as synonyms for 0 in the handling of
build-cores and --cores.  They're superfluous and just complicate
  the parsing.
2010-08-04 12:23:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f893b7a43 * Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
  "preferLocalBuild" to true.  This has a few use cases:

  - The user environment builder.  Since it just creates a bunch of
    symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
    remotely.  In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
    of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
    is extremely wasteful.

  - `fetchurl'.  Performing the download on a remote machine and then
    copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
    traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
    CPU cycles on the local machine.
2010-08-04 12:13:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 315d8fbd75 * Set the default system filter to "*". This ensures that (for
instance) "nix-env -i wine" works on x86_64-linux, even though Wine
  is built on i686-linux.  In the event that there are multiple
  matching derivations, prefer those built for the current system.

Eelco Dolstra 7af6a2fd71 * intersectAttrs: optimise for the case where the second set is larger

Peter Simons af09fe12dd Fix build of bsdiff-4.3 on machines that don't have <err.h>, such as Solaris. 2010-06-24 17:51:31 +00:00
Peter Simons bcec46057c src/libutil/util.cc: include <limit.h> to ensure that PATH_MAX is defined 2010-06-24 17:51:13 +00:00
Peter Simons a17071fef1 Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.
An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to
names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution,
because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global
namespace.
2010-06-24 17:51:04 +00:00
Peter Simons 8b7f8b56f1 Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build expressions.
This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the
command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of
CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing
an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which
means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores
is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual
value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by
calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils.

The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but
the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes
into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized
can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.
2010-06-23 14:34:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e5e0faf9c * Okay, putting a lock on the temporary directory used by importPath()
doesn't work because the garbage collector doesn't actually look at
  locks.  So r22253 was stupid.  Use addTempRoot() instead.  Also,
  locking the temporary directory in exportPath() was silly because it
  isn't even in the store.

Eelco Dolstra d1f6c0cbe3 * Replacing ValidPath rows doesn't work because it causes a constraint

Eelco Dolstra ebade9ff8b * Check for duplicate attribute names / function arguments. `make

* An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; };
  foo.port = 23; }' now parses.  It was previously rejected, but I'm
  too lazy to implement the check.  (The only reason to reject it is
  that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is
  rejected, which is kind of ugly.)

precedence, i.e. `with {x=1;}; with {x=2;}; x' evaluates to 2'.
  This has a simpler implementation and seems more natural.  There
  doesn't seem to be any code in Nixpkgs or NixOS that relies on the
  old behaviour.

Eelco Dolstra 816f9c0f6f * Use std::tr1::unordered_set instead of std::set for the symbol
