The new experimental feature 'cgroups' enables the use of cgroups for
all builds. This allows better containment and enables setting
resource limits and getting some build stats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cgroups are now only used for derivations that require the uid-range
range feature. This allows auto UID allocation even on systems that
don't have cgroups (like macOS).
Also, make things work on modern systems that use cgroups v2 (where
there is a single hierarchy and no "systemd" controller).

Call it as `['nix', '__build-remote', ... ]` rather than the previous
`["__build-remote", "nix __build-remote", ... ]` which seemed to have
been most likely unintended
|
|
After we've send "\2\n" to the parent, we can't send a serialized
exception anymore. It will show up garbled like
$ nix-build --store /tmp/nix --expr 'derivation { name = "foo"; system = "x86_64-linux"; builder = "/foo/bar"; }'
this derivation will be built:
/nix/store/xmdip0z5x1zqpp6gnxld3vqng7zbpapp-foo.drv
building '/nix/store/xmdip0z5x1zqpp6gnxld3vqng7zbpapp-foo.drv'...
ErrorErrorEexecuting '/foo/bar': No such file or directory
error: builder for '/nix/store/xmdip0z5x1zqpp6gnxld3vqng7zbpapp-foo.drv' failed with exit code 1

readDerivation is pretty slow, and while it may not be significant for
some use cases, on things like ghc-nix where we have thousands of
derivations is really slows things down.
So, this just doesn’t do the impure derivation check if the impure
derivation experimental feature is disabled. Perhaps we could cache
the result of isPure() and keep the check, but this is a quick fix to
for the slowdown introduced with impure derivations features in 2.8.0.

RewritingSink can handle being fed input where a reference crosses a
chunk boundary. we don't need to load the whole source into memory, and
in fact *not* loading the whole source lets nix build FODs that do not
fit into memory (eg fetchurl'ing data files larger than system memory).

Fix Nix build --check flag
|
|
`move` tends to have this `mv` connotation of “I will copy it for you if
needs be”
|
|
Directly takes some c++ strings, and gently throws an exception on error
(rather than having to inline this logic everywhere)
|
|
Once a derivation goal has been completed, we check whether or not
this goal was meant to be repeated to check its output.
An early return branch was preventing the worker to reach that repeat
code branch, hence breaking the --check command (#2619).
It seems like this early return branch is an artifact of a passed
refactoring. As far as I can tell, buildDone's main branch also
cleanup the tmp directory before returning.

The workaround for "Some distros patch Linux" mentioned in
local-derivation-goal.cc will not help in the `--option
sandbox-fallback false` case. To provide the user more helpful
guidance on how to get the sandbox working, let's check to see if the
`/proc` node created by the aforementioned patch is present and
configured in a way that will cause us problems. If so, give the user
a suggestion for how to troubleshoot the problem.
|
|
local-derivation-goal.cc contains a comment stating that "Some distros
patch Linux to not allow unprivileged user namespaces." Let's give a
pointer to a common version of this patch for those who want more
details about this failure mode.
|
|
This commit causes nix to `warn()` if sandbox setup has failed and
`/proc/self/ns/user` does not exist. This is usually a sign that the
kernel was compiled without `CONFIG_USER_NS=y`, which is required for
sandboxing.
|
|
This commit uses `warn()` to notify the user if sandbox setup fails
with errno==EPERM and /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces is missing or
zero, since that is at least part of the reason why sandbox setup
failed.
Note that `echo -n 0 > /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces` or
equivalent at boot time has been the recommended mitigation for
several Linux LPE vulnerabilities over the past few years. Many users
have applied this mitigation and then forgotten that they have done
so.

The failure modes for nix's sandboxing setup are pretty complicated.
When nix is unable to set up the sandbox, let's provide more detail
about what went wrong. Specifically:
* Make sure the error message includes the word "sandbox" so the user
knows that the failure was related to sandboxing.
* If `--option sandbox-fallback false` was provided, and removing it
would have allowed further attempts to make progress, let the user
know.

Embed the sandbox shell into the statically linked 'nix' binary

libstore: improve warning message on missing sig
|
|
With this, Nix will write a copy of the sandbox shell to /bin/sh in
the sandbox rather than bind-mounting it from the host filesystem.
This makes /bin/sh work out of the box with nix-static, i.e. you no
longer get
/nix/store/qa36xhc5gpf42l3z1a8m1lysi40l9p7s-bootstrap-stage4-stdenv-linux/setup: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

'build-remote' is now executed via /proc/self/exe so it always works.
|
|
Clarifies that the substitute will be ignored/skipped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use one of `get` or `getOr` instead which will either return a null-pointer (with a nicer error message) or a default value when the key is missing.

Fixes #6446.

Previously it only logged the builder's path, this changes it to log the
arguments at the same log level, and the environment variables at the
vomit level.
This helped me debug https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix/issues/75

This was caused by SubstitutionGoal not setting the errorMsg field in
its BuildResult. We now get a more descriptive message than in 2.7.0, e.g.
error: path '/nix/store/13mh...' is required, but there is no substituter that can build it
instead of the misleading (since there was no build)
error: build of '/nix/store/13mh...' failed
Fixes #6295.

Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result
every time they're built. Example:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "impure";
__impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHashMode = "recursive";
buildCommand = "date > $out";
};
Some important characteristics:
* This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature.
* Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on
the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time.
* They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is
moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is
that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database.
* Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In
the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on
impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the
dependency graph.
* When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the
network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed
sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.

This avoids an infinite loop in the final test in
tests/binary-cache.sh. I think this was only not triggered previously
by accident (because we were clearing wantedOutputs in between).

1. `DerivationOutput` now as the `std::variant` as a base class. And the
variants are given hierarchical names under `DerivationOutput`.
In 8e0d0689be797f9e42f9b43b06f50c1af7f20b4a @matthewbauer and I
didn't know a better idiom, and so we made it a field. But this sort
of "newtype" is anoying for literals downstream.
Since then we leaned the base class, inherit the constructors trick,
e.g. used in `DerivedPath`. Switching to use that makes this more
ergonomic, and consistent.
2. `store-api.hh` and `derivations.hh` are now independent.
In bcde5456cc3295061a0726881c3e441444dd6680 I swapped the dependency,
but I now know it is better to just keep on using incomplete types as
much as possible for faster compilation and good separation of
concerns.

Continue progress on #5729.
Just as I hoped, this uncovered an issue: the daemon protocol is missing
a way to query build logs. This doesn't effect `unix://`, but does
effect `ssh://`. A FIXME is left for this, so we come back to it later.
