2021-11-08	Merge branch 'fix-writable-shell' of https://github.com/yorickvP/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2021-10-15	Restore parent mount namespace in restoreProcessContext	Yorick van Pelt
	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.
2021-10-14	Make the canReachRoots() traversal non-recursive	Eelco Dolstra

2021-10-13	Use a thread per connection	Eelco Dolstra

2021-10-13	Non-blocking garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra
	The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the collector from deleting store paths just added by another process, processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain socket to register new temporary roots.
2021-10-06	Don't reset the logger in a vfork	Eelco Dolstra
	9c766a40cbbd3a350a9582d0fd8201e3361a63b2 broke logging from the daemon, because commonChildInit is called when starting the build hook in a vfork, so it ends up resetting the parent's logger. So don't vfork. It might be best to get rid of vfork altogether, but that may cause problems, e.g. when we call an external program like git from the evaluator.
2021-10-05	Connect/bind Unix domain sockets in a child process	Eelco Dolstra
	In the child process, we can do a chdir() and avoid the problem of the path not fitting into sockaddr_un.
2021-09-13	RunOptions: Use designated initializers	Eelco Dolstra
	Also get rid of _killStderr because it wasn't actually checked anywhere.
2021-07-01	Respect TERM=dumb more consistently	Yestin L. Harrison

2021-04-07	Restore stack size in child processes	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #4673.
2021-04-07	restoreSignals() + restoreAffinity() -> restoreProcessContext()	Eelco Dolstra

2021-04-07	PathSubstitutionGoal: Clean up pipe	Eelco Dolstra
	If there were many top-level goals (which are not destroyed until the very end), commands like $ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' \ /run/current-system --no-check-sigs --substitute-on-destination could fail with "Too many open files". So now we do some explicit cleanup from amDone(). It would be cleaner to separate goals from their temporary internal state, but that would be a bigger refactor.

2021-01-08	string2Int(): Return std::optional	Eelco Dolstra

2020-12-02	read(): Use char * instead of unsigned char *	Eelco Dolstra
	This gets rid of some pointless casts.
2020-12-02	Sink: Use std::string_view	Eelco Dolstra

2020-12-02	writeFull/writeFile: Use std::string_view	Eelco Dolstra

2020-09-21	Random header cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2020-09-21	Move Callback into its own header	Eelco Dolstra
	This gets rid of the inclusion of <future> in util.hh, cutting compilation time by ~20s (CPU time). Issue #4045.
2020-08-20	Allow 'nix' subcommands to provide docs in Markdown format	Eelco Dolstra

2020-05-11	Merge branch 'master' into errors-phase-2	Ben Burdette

2020-05-10	Simplify	Eelco Dolstra

2020-05-08	Enable `baseNameOf` test	Tobias Pflug
	Add note about removal of trailing slashes in the doc comment of baseNameOf and enabled the test.
2020-05-08	Enable `dirOf` test	Tobias Pflug
	Adjusted the doc comment for `dirOf` to reflect the implementation behavior.
2020-05-07	Remove replaceInSet	Tobias Pflug
	The function isn't being used anywhere so it seems safe to remove
2020-05-06	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into flakes	Eelco Dolstra

2020-04-29	StringSink pre allocate	Guillaume Bouchard
	When used with `readFile`, we have a pretty good heuristic of the file size, so `reserve` this in the `string`. This will save some allocation / copy when the string is growing.
2020-04-29	Remove the `drain` argument from `readFile`	Guillaume Bouchard
	Now it is always `drain` (see previous commit).
2020-04-24	all things error to error.hh	Ben Burdette

2020-04-23	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into flakes	Eelco Dolstra

2020-04-21	add ErrorInfo to BaseError	Ben Burdette

2020-04-16	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into flakes	Eelco Dolstra

2020-04-14	add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES	zimbatm
	Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files. Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding which user files Nix will load during startup.
