In principle, this should avoid deadlocks where two instances of Nix are
holding a shared lock on big-lock and are both waiting to get an
exclusive lock.
However, it seems like `flock(2)` is supposed to do this automatically,
so it's not clear whether this is actually where the problem comes from.

Hopefully this is best!

I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.
What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.
I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.

Implements the approach suggested by feedback on PR #6994, where
tempdir paths are created in the store (now with an exclusive lock).
As part of this work, the currently-broken and unused
`createTempDirInStore` function is updated to create an exclusive lock
on the temp directory in the store.
The GC now makes a non-blocking attempt to lock any store directories
that "look like" the temp directories created by this function, and if
it can't acquire one, ignores the directory.
|
|
This fixes issue 6823 by placing the tempdir used in LocalStore::addToStoreFromDump
outside the Nix store, where automatic GC is no longer a concern.

In most places the fallback to copying isn’t needed and can actually be
bad, so we’d rather not transparently fallback
|
|
`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)
|
|
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.

Without the change any CA deletion triggers linear scan on large
RealisationsRefs table:
sqlite>.eqp full
sqlite> delete from RealisationsRefs where realisationReference IN ( select id from Realisations where outputPath = 1234567890 );
QUERY PLAN
|--SCAN RealisationsRefs
`--LIST SUBQUERY 1
`--SEARCH Realisations USING COVERING INDEX IndexRealisationsRefsOnOutputPath (outputPath=?)
With the change it gets turned into a lookup:
sqlite> CREATE INDEX IndexRealisationsRefsRealisationReference on RealisationsRefs(realisationReference);
sqlite> delete from RealisationsRefs where realisationReference IN ( select id from Realisations where outputPath = 1234567890 );
QUERY PLAN
|--SEARCH RealisationsRefs USING INDEX IndexRealisationsRefsRealisationReference (realisationReference=?)
`--LIST SUBQUERY 1

Deleting just one will only work in the test cases where I didn’t bother
creating too many of them :p
|

If the derivation `foo` depends on `bar`, and they both have the same
output path (because they are CA derivations), then this output path
will depend both on the realisation of `foo` and of `bar`, which
themselves depend on each other.
This confuses SQLite which isn’t able to automatically solve this
diamond dependency scheme.
Help it by adding a trigger to delete all the references between the
relevant realisations.
Fix #5320
|
|
The templating is very superficial
|
|
This ensures that use-sites properly trigger new monomorphisations on
one hand, and on the other hand keeps the main `sqlite.hh` clean and
interface-only. I think that is good practice in general, but in this
situation in particular we do indeed have `sqlite.hh` users that don't
need the `throw_` function.

There is a correctnes issue here, but #3724 will fix that. This is just
a cleanup for brevity's sake.

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.

Rather than having four different but very similar types of hashes, make
only one, with a tag indicating whether it corresponds to a regular of
deferred derivation.
This implies a slight logical change: The original Nix+multiple-outputs
model assumed only one hash-modulo per derivation. Adding
multiple-outputs CA derivations changed this as these have one
hash-modulo per output. This change is now treating each derivation as
having one hash modulo per output.
This obviously means that we internally loose the guaranty that
all the outputs of input-addressed derivations have the same hash
modulo. But it turns out that it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing
in the code taking advantage of that fact (and it probably shouldn’t
anyways).
The upside is that it is now much easier to work with these hashes, and
we can get rid of a lot of useless `std::visit{ overloaded`.

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.

This changes was taken from dynamic derivation (#4628). It` somewhat
undoes the refactors I first did for floating CA derivations, as the
benefit of hindsight + requirements of dynamic derivations made me
reconsider some things.
They aren't to consequential, but I figured they might be good to land
first, before the more profound changes @thufschmitt has in the works.

These were needed back in the pre-C++11 era because we didn't have
move semantics. But now we do.

There already existed a smoke test for the link content length,
but it appears that there exists some corruptions pernicious enough
to replace the file content with zeros, and keeping the same length.
--repair-path now goes as far as checking the content of the link,
making it true to its name and actually repairing the path for such
coruption cases.

ca-specific-schema.sql: add index on RealisationsRefs(referrer)
|
|
|
|
No matter what, we need to resize the buffer to not have any scratch
space after we do the `read`. In the end of file case, `got` will be 0
from it's initial value.
Before, we forgot to resize in the EOF case with the break. Yes, we know
we didn't recieve any data in that case, but we still have the scatch
space to undo.

async realisation substitution
|
|
For a typical desktop system (~2K packages) we can easily get 100K
entries in RealisationsRefs. Without indices query for RealisationsRefs
requires linear scan.
RealisationsRefs(referrer)
--------------------------
Inefficiency is seen as a 100% CPU load of nix-daemon for the following
scenario:
$ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="1"
# populate RealisationsRefs, build fresh system
$ nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }'
$ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="2"
$ time nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }'
In this case `bash `will be rebuilt a few times and then rest of CPU
time is spent on scanning RealisationsRefs table (about 5 CPU-minutes
on my machine).
Before the change:
$ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above
real 34m3,613s
user 0m5,232s
sys 0m0,758s
Of all this time about 29.5 minutes are taken by nix-daemon's CPU time.
After the change:
$ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above
real 4m50,061s
user 0m5,038s
sys 0m0,677s
Of all this time about 1 minute is taken by nix-daemon's CPU time.
Most of the time is spent polling for non-existent realisations on
cache-nixos.org.
Realisations(outputPath)
------------------------
After running CA system for two weeks I got ~1M entries in Realisations
table. `nix-collect-garbage` became very slow (seemingly 100 path deletions
per second). It happens due to a slow cascading delete from Realisations
triggered by deletion from ValidPaths.
The fix is to add an index on primary key from ValidPaths(id) that
triggers cascading deletions.
Before the change:
$ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G
<interrupted before finish, took too long>
real 23m32.411s
user 17m49.679s
sys 4m50.609s
Most of time was spent in re-scanning Realisations table on each path deletion.
After the change:
$ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G
real 8m43.226s
user 6m16.317s
sys 1m40.188s
Time is spent scanning sqlite indices and in kernel when unlinking directories.

Allow references in addPath
|
|
Co-Authored-By: Eelco Dolstra <edolstra@gmail.com>

Doing it as a side-effect of calling LocalStore::makeStoreWritable()
is very ugly.
Also, make sure that stopping the progress bar joins the update
thread, otherwise that thread should be unshared as well.
|
|
|

Since 4806f2f6b0fd2cae401b89fe19d8c528ffd88b5f, we can't have paths with
references passed to builtins.{path,filterSource}. This prevents many cases
of those functions called on IFD outputs from working. Resolve this by
passing the references found in the original path to the added path.
|
|
Doesn’t change much so far because everything is still using it
synchronously, but should allow the binary cache to fetch stuff in
parallel
|

Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.
This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
(making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
of it.

Allow to pass a set of references to be added as info to the added paths.

This ensures any started processes can't write to /nix/store (except
during builds). This partially reverts 01d07b1e, which happened because
of #2646.
The problem was only happening after nix downloads anything, causing
me to suspect the download thread. The problem turns out to be:
"A process can't join a new mount namespace if it is sharing
filesystem-related attributes with another process", in this case this
process is the curl thread.
Ideally, we might kill it before spawning the shell process, but it's
inside a static variable in the getFileTransfer() function. So
instead, stop it from sharing FS state using unshare(). A strategy
such as the one from #5057 (single-threaded chroot helper binary) is
also very much on the table.
Fixes #4337.

This fixes a bug in the garbage collector where if a path
/nix/store/abcd-foo is valid, but we do a
isValidPath("/nix/store/abcd-foo.lock") first, then a negative entry
for /nix/store/abcd is added to pathInfoCache, so /nix/store/abcd-foo
is subsequently considered invalid and deleted.
