2024-05-24libstore/build: always enable seccomp filtering and no-new-privilegesAlois Wohlschlager
Seccomp filtering and the no-new-privileges functionality improve the security of the sandbox, and have been enabled by default for a long time. In https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/265 it was decided that they should be enabled unconditionally. Accordingly, remove the allow-new-privileges (which had weird behavior anyway) and filter-syscall settings, and force the security features on. Syscall filtering can still be enabled at build time to support building on architectures libseccomp doesn't support. Change-Id: Iedbfa18d720ae557dee07a24f69b2520f30119cb

2024-05-23packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so onJade Lovelace
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code. We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this requires a little more effort. This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h. Migration path: expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh nix/config.h -> lix/config.h To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then, the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the clang-tidy automated fix will work. Then run the following for out of tree projects: ``` lix_root=$HOME/lix (cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build') run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src ``` Related: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nix-eval-jobs/pulls/5 Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/279 Change-Id: I7498e903afa6850a731ef8ce77a70da6b2b46966

2024-05-15nix3-build: show all FOD errors with `--keep-going`Maximilian Bosch
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).

2024-05-13libutil: remove the interrupt-blocking codeAlois Wohlschlager
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 (c8d3882cdc8f9e22c58af285c1996265c1af75d5). However, the logging code does not check for interrupts any more (054be5025762c5e1c7e853c4fa5d7eed8da1727f), 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.

2024-05-05Fix the pages in the manual for LixJade Lovelace
This doesn't comprehensively fix everything outdated in the manual, or make the manual greatly better, but it does note down where at least jade noticed it was wrong, and it does fix all the instances of referencing Nix to conform to the style guide to the best of our ability. A lot of things have been commented out for being wrong, and there are three types of FIXME introduced: - FIXME(Lix): generically Lix needs to fix it - FIXME(Qyriad): re https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/215 - FIXME(meson): docs got outdated by meson changes and need rewriting I did fix a bunch of it that I could, but there could certainly be mistakes and this is definitely just an incremental improvement.

2024-05-03Revert "Revert "Merge pull request #6621 from Kha/nested-follows""Maximilian Bosch
This reverts commit a8b3d777fbdaf0b732f129e5be62cd2a1227674b. This undoes the revert of PR#6621, which allows nested `follows`, i.e. { inputs = { foo.url = "github:bar/foo"; foo.inputs.bar.inputs.nixpkgs = "nixpkgs"; }; } does the expected thing now. This is useful to avoid the 1000 instances of nixpkgs problem without having each flake in the dependency tree to expose all of its transitive dependencies for modification. This was in fact part of Nix before and the C++ changes applied w/o conflicts. However, it got reverted then because people didn't want to merge lazy-trees against it which was supposed to be merged soon back in October 2022.

2024-05-03libstore/local-derivation-goal: prohibit creating setuid/setgid binariesMaximilian Bosch
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 https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/9b88e5284608116b7db0dbd3d5dd7a33b90d52d7/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 🤷 Relevant PRs in CppNix: * https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10591 * https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10501 [1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/300635#issuecomment-2031073804 [2] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/300635#issuecomment-2030844251 [3] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/306070 (cherry picked from commit ba6804518772e6afb403dd55478365d4b863c854) Change-Id: I6921ab5a363188c6bff617750d00bb517276b7fe
2024-05-03Rename `nix show-config` to `nix config show`Théophane Hufschmitt
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. (cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41) [1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig [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.

2024-05-02Disallow store path names that are . or .. (plus opt. -)Robert Hensing
As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29. Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and treated as a file name, mostly to protect users. .-* 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.

2024-04-29fix `nix upgrade-nix` on new-style profilesQyriad
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. Fixes #16. Change-Id: I4c49b1beba93bb50e8f8a107edc451affe08c3f7

Meson appears to be planning to do this for us without asking us in a release we will get in the future, and it seems good enough to ship today: https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-1-4-0.html#ndebug-setting-now-controls-c-stdlib-assertions Benchmarks: | Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `result-asserts/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix` | 418.4 ± 25.0 | 396.9 | 451.2 | 1.01 ± 0.08 | | `result/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix` | 416.1 ± 23.9 | 397.1 | 445.4 | 1.00 | | Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=10g result-asserts/bin/nix eval --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 4.147 ± 0.021 | 4.123 | 4.195 | 1.00 | | `GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=10g result/bin/nix eval --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 4.149 ± 0.027 | 4.126 | 4.215 | 1.00 ± 0.01 | | Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `result-asserts/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 5.838 ± 0.023 | 5.799 | 5.867 | 1.01 ± 0.01 | | `result/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 5.788 ± 0.044 | 5.715 | 5.876 | 1.00 | | Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `result-asserts/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' search --no-eval-cache github:nixos/nixpkgs/e1fa12d4f6c6fe19ccb59cac54b5b3f25e160870 hello` | 15.993 ± 0.081 | 15.829 | 16.096 | 1.01 ± 0.01 | | `result/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' search --no-eval-cache github:nixos/nixpkgs/e1fa12d4f6c6fe19ccb59cac54b5b3f25e160870 hello` | 15.897 ± 0.075 | 15.807 | 16.047 | 1.00 | Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/4 Change-Id: Id3a6f38274ba94d5d10b09edd19dfd96bc3e7d5f
2024-04-06always re-eval cached failuresQyriad
This is terrible UX, and frankly an eval failure should be a cache invalidation anyway. This removes the CachedEvalError type entirely. Fixes #223. Change-Id: I91f8003eabd0ea45003024e96d1de3c7ae8e49d8
2024-04-03repl: improve `:doc` builtin repl command to support lambdas.Lunaphied
For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way. NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here. These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.

We don't apply any patches to it, and vendoring it locks users into bugs (it hasn't been updated since its introduction in late 2021). Closes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/164 Change-Id: Ied071c841fc30b0dfb575151afd1e7f66970fdb9
2024-03-27build: replace changelog-d with local scripteldritch horrors
hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python. this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python), so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle. we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger closes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/176 Change-Id: I8ba7dd0070aad9ba4474401731215fcf5d9d2130
