This is nonsensical since selecting outputs can only be done for a
buildable derivation, not for a realised store path. The build worker
side of things ends up crashing with an assertion when trying to handle
such malformed paths.

This builtin was always a problem and nixpkgs uses it in exactly one
place, to give up if the Nix version is absurdly old. It has no other
use cases, and doesn't work in a multi-implementation world anyway.

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

The interrupt-blocking code was originally introduced 20 years ago so that
trying to log an error message does not result in an interrupt exception being
thrown and then going unhandled (c8d3882cdc).
However, the logging code does not check for interrupts any more
(054be50257), so this reasoning is no longer
applicable. Delete this code so that later interrupts are unblocked again, for
example in the next line entered into the repl.

be a real pain to keep this around, and realistically it would be
a lot better to overhaul substitution in general to be *actually*
async. that requires a proper async framework footing though, and

Because of an objc quirk[1], calling curl_global_init for the first time
after fork() will always result in a crash.
Up until now the solution has been to set
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY for every nix process to ignore
that error.
This is less than ideal because we were setting it in package.nix,
which meant that running nix tests locally would fail because
that variable was not set.
Instead of working around that error we address it at the core -
by calling curl_global_init inside initLibStore, which should mean
curl will already have been initialized by the time we try to do so in
a forked process.

only two users of this function exist. only one used it in a way that

it right. fully async and parallel computation would have only worked

If unprivileged userns are *believed* to be disabled (such as with

on trying to use a user namespace before actually trying it, even if, in

since Nix has CAP_SYS_ADMIN when running as daemon.
(see, e.g. 25d4709a4f)
We changed it to actually try it first, and then diagnose possible
causes, and also to be more loud about the whole thing, using warnings
instead of debugs. These warnings will only print on the first build run
by the daemon, which is, tbh, eh, shrug.
This is what led to us realizing that no-userns was a poorly exercised

With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.
Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:
> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.
Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.
This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:
$ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562
I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.
Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.
To work around that
* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
scheduled[3].
* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
away.
We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

Part of #7672
My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].
I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix
because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
nixpkgs itself for Lix.

this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in

a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA

minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any

Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and

.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.

nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style
of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On
non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile`
of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working
again, without recreating the profile.
This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of
profile.

This replaces the external sandbox-exec call with direct calls into

This change commits a sin of not actually actively declaring its

Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.
The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.
Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

don't reimplement header parsing. this was only really needed due to the
ancient github bug we no longer care about, everything else we have done
in custom code can also be done using curl itself. doing this also fixes
possible sources of header smuggling (because the header function didn't
unfold headers and we'd trim them before parsing, which would've made us
read contents of one header as a fully formed header in itself). this is
a slight behavior change because we now honor only the first instance of
a given header where previous behavior was to honor either the last or a
combination of all of them (accept-ranges was logical-or'd by accident).

this was a workaround for a *github* bug that happend *in 2015*.
not only is github no longer buggy, it shouldn't have been nix's
responsibility to work around these bugs like this to begin with
while we're at it we'll also remove another workaround—again for
github specifically and again for etag handling—from 2021 that's
also not needed any more. future workarounds for serverside bugs
should probably come with an expiration date that mutates into a
build warning after a while, otherwise this *will* happen again.
