Eelco Dolstra 5e61b422c5 Fix HTTP/2 support
Commit 86e8c67efc broke it, because
CURL_* are not actually #defines.

Eelco Dolstra fb2dd32100 SSL_CERT_FILE -> NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE
This prevents collisions with the "native" OpenSSL, in particular on
OS X.

Fixes #921.

Eelco Dolstra 75989bdca7 Make computeFSClosure() single-threaded again
The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a
thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end
up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of
threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of
queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the
result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than
returning a future.

Thus, a command like

  nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5

that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main
thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed
CloudFront.)

Eelco Dolstra 6656ef7b5b Revive binary-caches-parallel-connections
It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads,
not just binary cache lookups.

Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2
(enabled by default).

Eelco Dolstra 90ad02bf62 Enable HTTP/2 support
The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much
more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many
requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer
necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by
default).

For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from
https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s
with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2.

This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class
to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be
able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse
even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker
thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker
thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.

This makes us more robust against 500 errors from CloudFront or S3

Eelco Dolstra 38539b943a Add fetchgit builtin
The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation
time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be
changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function,
with works at build time.)

Example:

  (import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello

or

  (import (builtins.fetchgit {
    url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels;
    rev = "nixos-16.03";
  }) {}).hello

Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.

Eelco Dolstra 451ebf24ce Cache path info lookups in SQLite
This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be
used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.

Eelco Dolstra d1b0909894 BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a string
This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and
might eliminate some large string copying.

Eelco Dolstra c045630522 Support channel:<channel-name> URIs
For convenience, you can now say

  $ nix-env -f channel:nixos-16.03 -iA hello

instead of

  $ nix-env -f https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03/nixexprs.tar.xz -iA hello

Similarly,

  $ nix-shell -I channel:nixpkgs-unstable -p hello
  $ nix-build channel:nixos-15.09 -A hello

Abstracting over the NixOS/Nixpkgs channels location also allows us to
use a more efficient transport (e.g. Git) in the future.

Eelco Dolstra dc82160164 Fix "tar: This does not look like a tar archive" with fetchTarball / -I http://
The 304 Not Modified was not handled correctly, so the empty result
from the conditional request would overwrite the previous tarball.

Eelco Dolstra d361901bfe curl: Set CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL
Otherwise using curl is not safe in multi-threaded applications
because it installs a SIGALRM handler.

Eelco Dolstra c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

Eelco Dolstra 5db358d4d7 Disable TLS verification for builtin fetchurl
This makes it consistent with the Nixpkgs fetchurl and makes it work
in chroots. We don't need verification because the hash of the result
is checked anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 0a2bee307b Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder
This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes;
2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3)
we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.
