Fixes#3898
The entire `BinaryCaches` row used to get replaced after it became
stale according to the `timestamp` column. In a concurrent scenario,
this leads to foreign key conflicts as different instances of the
in-process `state.caches` cache now differ, with the consequence that
the older process still tries to use the `id` number of the old record.
Furthermore, this phenomenon appears to have caused the cache for
actual narinfos to be erased about every week, while the default
ttl for narinfos was supposed to be 30 days.
This is slightly more accurate considering that an outdated record
may exist in the persistent cache. Possibly-outdated records are
quite relevant as they may be foreign keys to more recent information
that we want to keep, but we will not return them here.
In unprivileged podman containers, /proc is not fully visible (there
are other filesystems mounted on subdirectories of /proc). Therefore
we can't mount a new /proc in the sandbox that matches the PID
namespace of the sandbox. So this commit automatically disables
sandboxing if /proc is not fully visible.
This didn't work because sandboxing doesn't work in Docker. However,
the sandboxing check is done lazily - after clone(CLONE_NEWNS) fails,
we retry with sandboxing disabled. But at that point, we've already
done UID allocation under the assumption that user namespaces are
enabled.
So let's get rid of the "goto fallback" logic and just detect early
whether user / mount namespaces are enabled.
This commit also gets rid of a compatibility hack for some ancient
Linux kernels (<2.13).
Previously we would completely refetch the submodules from the
network, even though the repo might already have them. Now we copy the
.git/modules directory from the repo as an optimisation. This speeds
up evaluating
builtins.fetchTree { type = "git"; url = "/path/to/blender"; submodules = true; }
(where /path/to/blender already has the needed submodules) from 121s
to 57s.
This is still pretty inefficient and a hack, but a better solution is
best done on the lazy-trees branch.
This change also help in the case where the repo already has the
submodules but the origin is unfetchable for whatever reason
(e.g. there have been cases where Nix in a GitHub action doesn't have
the right authentication set up).
We cannot use 'actualUrl', because for file:// repos that's not the
original URL that the repo was fetched from. This is a problem since
submodules may be relative to the original URL.
Fixes e.g.
nix eval --impure --json --expr 'builtins.fetchTree { type = "git"; url = "/path/to/blender"; submodules = true; }'
where /path/to/blender is a clone of
https://github.com/blender/blender.git (which has several relative
submodules like '../blender-addons.git').
Previously, build-remote would show a warning if all build slots were
taken, even if they would open up later. This caused a lot of spam in
the logs. Disable this warning when maxJobs > 0.

Per the old FIXME, this flag was on too many commands, and mostly
ignored. Now it is just on the commands where it actually has an effect.
Per https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7261, I would still like to get
rid of it entirely, but that is a separate project. This change should
be good with or without doing that.
`nix app` had something called `InstallableDerivedPath` which is
actually the same thing. We go with the later's name because it has
become more correct.
I originally did this change (more hurriedly) as part of #6225 --- a
mini store-only Nix and a full Nix need to share this code. In the first
RFC meeting for https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134 we discussed how
some splitting of the massive `installables.cc` could begin prior, as
that is a good thing anyways. (@edolstra's words, not mine!) This would
be one such PR.
