2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Don't hardcode /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-26	addAdditionalRoots(): Check each path only once	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Search process environments for roots	Eelco Dolstra
	For instance, this prevents paths from being deleted that are in use by a "nix-build --run-env" session.
2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Use Nix::Utils::readFile	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-23	Fix --timeout	Eelco Dolstra
	I'm not sure if it has ever worked correctly. The line "lastWait = after;" seems to mean that the timer was reset every time a build produced log output. Note that the timeout is now per build, as documented ("the maximum number of seconds that a builder can run").

2013-03-25	makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permission	Shea Levy
	It is surprisingly impossible to check if a mountpoint is a bind mount on Linux, and in my previous commit I forgot to check if /nix/store was even a mountpoint at all. statvfs.f_flag is not populated with MS_BIND (and even if it were, my check was wrong in the previous commit). Luckily, the semantics of mount with MS_REMOUNT \| MS_BIND make both checks unnecessary: if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, then mount will fail with EINVAL, and if /nix/store is not a bind-mount, then it will not be made writable. Thus, if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, we fail immediately (since we don't know how to make it writable), and if /nix/store IS a mountpoint but not a bind-mount, we fail at first write (see below for why we can't check and fail immediately). Note that, due to what is IMO buggy behavior in Linux, calling mount with MS_REMOUNT \| MS_BIND on a non-bind readonly mount makes the mountpoint appear writable in two places: In the sixth (but not the 10th!) column of mountinfo, and in the f_flags member of struct statfs. All other syscalls behave as if the mount point were still readonly (at least for Linux 3.9-rc1, but I don't think this has changed recently or is expected to soon). My preferred semantics would be for MS_REMOUNT \| MS_BIND to fail on a non-bind mount, as it doesn't make sense to remount a non bind-mount as a bind mount.
2013-03-25	makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out ↵	Shea Levy
	if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount /nix/store could be a read-only bind mount even if it is / in its own filesystem, so checking the 4th field in mountinfo is insufficient. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>

2013-02-27	Refactoring: Split off the non-recursive canonicalisePathMetaData()	Eelco Dolstra

2013-02-26	Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own	Eelco Dolstra
	It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do ln /etc/shadow $out/foo Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo, causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but writable by nobody). That's obviously Very Bad. Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because /nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid cross-device link". It also fails if hard-link restrictions are enabled, so a workaround is: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build user. This means that innocuous operations like "ln ${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed in chroot builds anyway.

2013-02-08	Document ‘hashString’	Eelco Dolstra

2013-02-08	Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a path	Eelco Dolstra
	Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like exec = "${./my-script} params..."; to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation: exec = ./my-script + " params..."; By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as expected: exec = " ${./my-script} params..."; Now the first example also evaluates to a string.
