2013-03-25makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permissionShea 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.
2013-03-25makeStoreWritable: 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>

2013-02-26Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't ownEelco 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.

2013-02-08Document ‘hashString’Eelco Dolstra
2013-02-08Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a pathEelco Dolstra
Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like exec = "${./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.

2013-01-17Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>Eelco Dolstra
...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation. Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences. For instance, ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551: Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.
