2024-10-12worker: respect C-c on `sudo nix-build`Maximilian Bosch
While debugging something else I observed that latest `main` ignores `Control-C` on `sudo nix-build`. After reading through the capnproto docs, it seems as if the promise must be fulfilled to actually terminate the `promise.wait()` below. This also applies to scenarios such as stopping the client (`nix-build`), but the builders on the daemon-side are still running, i.e. closes #540 Co-authored-by: eldritch horrors <pennae@lix.systems> Change-Id: I9634d14df4909fc1b65d05654aad0309bcca8a0a

2024-10-05libstore: remove Worker::{childStarted, goalFinished}eldritch horrors
these two functions are now nearly trivial and much better inline into makeGoalCommon. keeping them separate also separates information about goal completion flows and how failure information ends up in `Worker`. Change-Id: I6af86996e4a2346583371186595e3013c88fb082
2024-10-05libstore: remove Worker::removeGoaleldritch horrors
we can use our newfound powers of Goal::work Is A Real Promise to remove completed goals from continuation promises. apart from being much easier to follow it's also a lot more efficient because we have the iterator to the item we are trying to remove, skipping a linear search of the cache. Change-Id: Ie0190d051c5f4b81304d98db478348b20c209df5
2024-10-05libstore: remove Goal::notifyeldritch horrors
Goal::work() is a fully usable promise that does not rely on the worker to report completion conditions. as such we no longer need the `notify` field that enabled this interplay. we do have to clear goal caches when destroying the worker though, otherwise goal promises may (incorrectly) keep goals alive due to strong shared pointers created by childStarted. Change-Id: Ie607209aafec064dbdf3464fe207d70ba9ee158a
2024-10-05libstore: return goal results from Worker::run()eldritch horrors
this will be needed to move all interesting result fields out of Goal proper and into WorkResult. once that is done we can treat goals as a totally internal construct of the worker mechanism, which also allows us to fully stop exposing unclear intermediate state to Worker users. Change-Id: I98d7778a4b5b2590b7b070bdfc164a22a0ef7190
2024-10-05libstore: remove Worker::topGoalseldritch horrors
since we now propagate goal exceptions properly we no longer need to check topGoals for a reason to abort early. any early abort reasons, whether by exception or a clean top goal failure, can now be handled by inspecting the goal result in the main loop. this greatly reduces goal-to-goal interactions that do not happen at the main loop level. since the underscore-free name is now available for use as variables we'll migrate to that where we currently use `_topGoals` for locals. Change-Id: I5727c5ea7799647c0a69ab76975b1a03a6558aa6
2024-10-05libstore: propagate goal exceptions using promiseseldritch horrors
drop childException since it's no longer needed. also makes waitForInput, childFinished, and childTerminated redundant. Change-Id: I05d88ffd323c5b5c909ac21056162f69ffb0eb9f

Change-Id: Idd218ec1572eda84dc47accc0dcd8a954d36f098
2024-10-05libstore: extract Worker::goalFinished specificseldritch horrors
there's no reason to have the worker set information on goals that the goals themselves return from their entry point. doing this in the goal `work()` function is much cleaner, and a prerequisite to removing more implicit strong shared references to goals that are currently running. Change-Id: Ibb3e953ab8482a6a21ce2ed659d5023a991e7923
2024-10-05libstore: check for interrupts in parallel promiseeldritch horrors
this simplifies the worker loop, and lets us remove it entirely later. note that ideally only one promise waiting for interrupts should exist in the entire system. not one per event loop, one per *process*. extra interrupt waiters make interrupt response nondeterministic and as such aren't great for user experience. if anything wants to react to aborts caused by explicit interruptions, or anything else, those things would be much better served using RAII guards such as Finally (or KJ_DEFER).

2024-10-05libstore: remove Goal::StillAliveeldritch horrors
this was a triumph. i'm making a note here: huge success. it's hard to overstate my satisfaction! i'm not even angry. i'm being so sincere ri actually, no. we *are* angry. this was one dumbass odyssey. nobody has asked for this. but not doing it would have locked us into old, broken protocols forever or (possibly worse) forced us to write our own async framework building on the old did-you-mean-continuations in Worker. if we had done that we'd be locked into ever more, and ever more complex, manual state management all over the place. this just could not stand. Change-Id: I43a6de1035febff59d2eff83be9ad52af4659871
2024-10-04libstore: forbid addWantedGoals when finishedeldritch horrors
due to event loop scheduling behavior it's possible for a derivation goal to fully finish (having seen all paths it was asked to create), but to not notify the worker of this in time to prevent another goal asking the recently-finished goal for more outputs. if this happened the finished goal would ignore the request for more outputs since it considered itself fully done, and the delayed result reporting would cause the requesting goal to assume its request had been honored. if the requested goal had finished *properly* the worker would recreate it instead of asking for more outputs, and this would succeed. it is thus safe to always recreate goals once they are done, so we now do. Change-Id: Ifedd69ca153372c623abe9a9b49cd1523588814f
2024-10-01libstore: turn Worker::updateStatistics into a promiseeldritch horrors
we'll now loop to update displayed statistics, and use this loop to limit the update rate to 50 times per second. we could have updated much more frequently before this (once per iteration of `runImpl`), much faster than would ever be useful in practice. aggressive stats updates can even impede progress due to terminal or network delays. Change-Id: Ifba755a2569f73c919b1fbb06a142c0951395d6d
2024-10-01libstore: remove Worker::wakeUp()eldritch horrors
Worker::run() is now entirely based on the kj event loop and promises, so we need not handle awakeness of goals manually any more. every goal can instead, once it has finished a partial work call, defer itself to being called again in the next iteration of the loop. same end effect. Change-Id: I320eee2fa60bcebaabd74d1323fa96d1402c1d15
2024-10-01libstore: turn periodic gc attempt into a promiseeldritch horrors
notably we will check whether we want to do GC at all only once during startup, and we'll only attempt GC every ten seconds rather than every time a goal has finished a partial work call. this shouldn't cause any problems in practice since relying on auto-gc is not deterministic and stores in which builds can fill all remaining free space in merely ten seconds are severely troubled even when gargage collection runs a lot.

2024-09-29libstore: merge ContinueImmediately and StillAliveeldritch horrors
nothing needs to signal being still active but not actively pollable, only that immediate polling for the next goal work phase is in order. Change-Id: Ia43c1015e94ba4f5f6b9cb92943da608c4a01555
2024-09-29libstore: remove worker removeGoaleldritch horrors
this was immensely inefficient on large caches, as can exist when many derivations are buildable simultaneously. since we have smart pointers to goals we can do cache maintenance in goal deleters instead, and use the exact iterators instead of doing a linear search. this *does* rely on goals being deleted to remove them from the cache, which isn't true for toplevel goals. those would have previously been removed when done in all cases, removing the cache entry when keep-going is set. this is arguably incorrect since it might result in those goals being retried, although that could only happen with dynamic derivations or the likes. (luckily dynamic derivations not complete enough to allow this at all) Change-Id: I8e750b868393588c33e4829333d370f2c509ce99
2024-09-29libstore: extract a real makeGoalCommoneldritch horrors
makeDerivationGoalCommon had the right idea, but it didn't quite go far enough. let's do the rest and remove the remaining factory duplication. Change-Id: I1fe32446bdfb501e81df56226fd962f85720725b
2024-09-29libstore: make non-cache goal pointers strongeldritch horrors
without circular references we do not need weak goal pointers except for caches, which should not prevent goal destructors running. caches though cannot create circular references even when they keep strong references. if we removed goals from caches when their work() is fully finished, not when their destructors are run, we could keep strong pointers in caches. since we do not gain much from this we keep those pointers weak for now. Change-Id: I1d4a6850ff5e264443c90eb4531da89f5e97a3a0
2024-09-29libstore: remove Goal::WaitForWorldeldritch horrors
have DerivationGoal and its subclasses produce a wrapper promise for their intermediate results instead, and return this wrapper promise. Worker already handles promises that do not complete immediately, so we do not have to duplicate this into an entire result type variant. Change-Id: Iae8dbf63cfc742afda4d415922a29ac5a3f39348
2024-09-29libstore: have makeLocalDerivationGoal return unique_ptrseldritch horrors
these can be unique rather than shared because shared_ptr has a converting constructor. preparatory refactor for something else and not necessary on its own, and the extra allocations we must do for shared_ptr control blocks isn't usually relevant anyway. Change-Id: I5391715545240c6ec8e83a031206edafdfc6462f
2024-09-27libstore: turn Goal::WaitForGoals into a promiseeldritch horrors
also gets rid of explicit strong references to dependencies of any goal, and weak references to dependers as well. those are now only held within promises representing goal completion and thus independent of the goal's relation to each other. the weak references to dependers was only needed for notifications, and that's much better handled entirely by kj itself. Change-Id: I00d06df9090f8d6336ee4bb0c1313a7052fb016b
2024-09-27libstore: replace Goal::WaitForSlot with semaphoreseldritch horrors
now that we have an event loop in the worker we can use it and its magical execution suspending properties to replace the slot counts we managed explicitly with semaphores and raii tokens. technically this would not have needed an event loop base to be doable, but it is a whole lot easier to wait for a token to be available if there is a callback mechanism ready for use that doesn't require a whole damn dedicated abstract method in Goal to work, and specific calls to that dedicated method strewn all over the worker implementation Change-Id: I1da7cf386d94e2bbf2dba9b53ff51dbce6a0cff7
2024-09-27libstore: simplify Worker::waitForInputeldritch horrors
with waitForAWhile turned into promised the core functionality of waitForInput is now merely to let gc run every so often if needed Change-Id: I68da342bbc1d67653901cf4502dabfa5bc947628
2024-09-27libstore: make waiting for a while a promiseeldritch horrors
this simplifies waitForInput quite a lot, and at the same time makes polling less thundering-herd-y. it even fixes early polling wakeups! Change-Id: I6dfa62ce91729b8880342117d71af5ae33366414
2024-09-27libstore: turn builder output processing into event loopeldritch horrors
this removes the rather janky did-you-mean-async poll loop we had so far. sadly kj does not play well with pty file descriptors, so we do have to add our own async input stream that does not eat pty EIO and turns it into an exception. that's still a *lot* better than the old code, and using a real even loop makes everything else easier later. Change-Id: Idd7e0428c59758602cc530bcad224cd2fed4c15e
2024-09-08libstore: turn Worker in a kj event loop usereldritch horrors
using a proper event loop basis we no longer have to worry about most of the intricacies of poll(), or platform-dependent replacements for it. we may even be able to use the event loop and its promise system for all of our scheduling in the future. we don't do any real async processing yet, this is just preparation to separate the first such change from the huge api design difference with the async framework we chose (kj from capnp): kj::Promise, unlike std::future, doesn't return exceptions unmangled. it instead wraps any non-kj exception into a kj exception, erasing all type information and preserving mostly the what() string in the process. this makes sense in the capnp rpc use case where unrestricted exception types can't be transferred, and since it moves error handling styles closer to a world we'd actually like there's no harm in doing it only here for now Change-Id: I20f888de74d525fb2db36ca30ebba4bcfe9cc838
2024-08-30libstore: rename Goal::Finished::result to exitCodeeldritch horrors
the more useful type for `result` is BuildResult. Change-Id: If93d9384e8d686eb63b33320f1d565f9b9afbf3a
2024-08-30libstore: remove queryMissing call from Workereldritch horrors
it doesn't have a purpose except cache priming, which is largely irrelevant by default (since another code path already runs this exact query). our store implementations do not benefit that much from this either, and the more bursty load may indeed harm them. Change-Id: I1cc12f8c21cede42524317736d5987f1e43fc9c9
2024-08-30libstore: use notifications for stats counterseldritch horrors
updating statistics *immediately* when any counter changes declutters things somewhat and makes useful status reports less dependent on the current worker main loop. using callbacks will make it easier to move the worker loop into kj entirely, using only promises for scheduling. Change-Id: I695dfa83111b1ec09b1a54cff268f3c1d7743ed6
2024-08-30libstore: print dependency errors from DerivationGoaleldritch horrors
this is not ideal, but it's better than having this stuck in the worker loop itself. setting ex on all failing goals is not problematic because only toplevel goals can ever be observable, all the others are ignored. notably only derivation goals ever set `ex`, substitution goals do not. Change-Id: I02e2164487b2955df053fef3c8e774d557aa638a
2024-08-30libstore: hide Worker goal factory methodseldritch horrors
this doesn't serve a great purpose yet except to confine construction of goals to the stack frame of Worker::run() and its child frames. we don't need this yet (and the goal constructors remain fully visible), but in a future change that fully removes the current worker loop we'll need some way of knowing which goals are top-level goals without passing the goals themselves around. once that's possible we can remove visible goals as a concept and rely on build result futures and a scheduler built upon them Change-Id: Ia73cdeffcfb9ba1ce9d69b702dc0bc637a4c4ce6
2024-08-30libstore: add "is dependency" info to goaleldritch horrors
whether goal errors are reported via the `ex` member or just printed to the log depends on whether the goal is a toplevel goal or a dependency. if goals are aware of this themselves we can move error printing out of the worker loop, and since a running worker can only be used by running goals it's totally sufficient to keep a `Worker::running` flag for this Change-Id: I6b5cbe6eccee1afa5fde80653c4b968554ddd16f
2024-08-25libstore: make Goal::ex a shared_ptreldritch horrors
this makes WorkResult copyable, and just all around easier to deal with. in the future we'll need this to let Goal::work() return a promise for a WorkResult (or even just a Finished) that can be awaited by other goals. Change-Id: Ic5a1ce04c5a0f8e683bd00a2ed2b77a2e28989c1

2024-08-19libstore: make Worker::childStarted privateeldritch horrors
this can be a proper WorkResult now. childTerminated is unfortunately a lot more stubborn and won't be made private for quite a while yet. once we can get rid of the Worker poll loop that *should* be possible though Change-Id: I2218df202da5cb84e852f6a37e4c20367495b617
2024-08-19libstore: move respect-timeoutiness to goal methodeldritch horrors
this is useless to do on the face of it, but it'll make it easier to convert the entire output handling to use async io and promises soon Change-Id: I2d1eb62c4bbf8f57bd558b9599c08710a389b1a8
2024-08-18libstore: add explicit in-build-slot-ness to goalseldritch horrors
we don't need to expose information about how busy a Worker is if the worker can instead tell its work items whether they are in a slot. in the future we might use this to not start items waiting for a slot if no slots are currently available, but that requires more preparation.
