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 🤷

This should fix cross compilation in the base case, but this is
difficult to test as cross compilation is broken in many different
places right now. This should bring Meson back up to cross parity with
the Make buildsystem though.

This commit adds the capability for building the Doxygen internal API
docs in the Meson buildsystem, and also makes doing so the default for
the internal-api-docs hydra job. Aside from the /nix-support directory,
which differed only by the hash part of a store path, the outputs of
hydraJobs.internal-api-docs before and after this commit were
bit-for-bit identical on my machine.

manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

The configured sysconfdir is used to look for nix.conf, so it needs
to be /etc, and not $out/etc, so we separate out the place where shell
profile files are installed, which is the only other place sysconfdir is
at all used.

for more info.

Benchmarks say that it does not regress performance by more than 1%
(which is where it gets really hard to measure accurately anyhow).
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:

package.nix previously needed this callPackage'd externally, which
didn't make a lot of sense to us since this is an internal dependency.
Thus we changed it to make it more self contained.

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.

Without this, the Meson setup won't bail out if nlohmann_json is
missing, leading to subpar DX (and maybe worse, but I'm not entirely
sure).

one headers (args/root.hh) was simply missing, and the generated headers
were not installed. not all of them *should* be installed either, only a
select few (and sadly this needs a custom target for each one, it seems)

This is UB, we should not be doing it, and we can cheaply turn it into
crashes reliably. We would much rather have crashes than the program
doing something silly.
Benchmarks, but i wonder if they are nonsense because they get identical
times across compilers?!

Functional tests can be run with
`meson test -C build --suite installcheck`.
Notably, functional tests must be run *after* running `meson install`
(Lix's derivation runs the installcheck suite in installCheckPhase so it
does this correctly), due to some quirks between Meson and the testing
system.
As far as I can tell the functional tests are meant to be run after
installing anyway, but unfortunately I can't transparently make
`meson test --suite installcheck` depend on the install targets.
The script that runs the functional tests, meson/run-test.py, checks
that `meson install` has happened and fails fast with a (hopefully)
helpful error message if any of the functional tests are run before
installing.

I didn't enable this by default for clang due to making the build time
10% worse or so. Unfortunate, but tbh devs for whom 10% of build time is
not *that* bad should probably simply enable this.

Unit tests can be run with `meson test -C build --suite check`.
`--suite check` is optional, as right now that's the only test suite,
but when functional tests are added those will be in a separate suite.

This commit adds several meson.build, which successfully build and
install Lix executables, libraries, and headers. Meson does not yet
build docs, Perl bindings, or run tests, which will be added in
following commits. As such, this commit does not remove the existing
build system, or make it the default, and also as such, this commit has
several FIXMEs and TODOs as notes for what should be done before the
existing autoconf + make buildsystem can be removed and Meson made the
default. This commit does not modify any source files.
A Meson-enabled build is also added as a Hydra job, and to
`nix flake check`.
