2024-07-21libstore/binary-cache-store: use correct buffer size for NAR decompressionAlois Wohlschlager
Due to a leftover from a previous version where the buffer was allocated on the stack, the change introduced in commit 4ec87742a196d8ed8f41b41ef039706ce791448d accidentally passes the size of a pointer as the size of the buffer to the decompressor. Since the former is much smaller (usually 8 bytes instead of 64 kilobytes), this is safe, but leads to considerable overhead; most notably, due to excessive progress reports, which happen for each chunk. Pass the proper buffer size instead. Change-Id: If4bf472d33e21587acb5235a2d99e3cb10914633

2024-07-20libutil: make basic loggers thread-safeeldritch horrors
SimpleLogger is not fully thread-safe, and all loggers that wrap it are also not safe accordingly. this does not affect much, but in rare cases it can cause interleaving of messages on stderr when used with the json or raw log formats. the fix applied here is a bit of a hack, but fixing this properly requires rearchitecting the logger infrastructure. nested loggers are not the most natural abstraction here, and it is biting us.

2024-07-18libexpr/print: do not show elided nested items when there are noneAlois Wohlschlager
When the configured maximum depth has been reached, attribute sets and lists are printed with ellipsis to indicate the elision of nested items. Previously, this happened even in case the structure being printed is empty, so that such items do not in fact exist. This is confusing, so stop doing it.

2024-07-18libexpr/print: never show empty attrsets or derivations as «repeated»Alois Wohlschlager
The repeated value detection logic exists so that the occurrence of large common substructures does not fill up the screen or the computer's memory. However, empty attribute sets and derivations (when their detection is enabled) are always cheap to print, and in practice I have observed them to make up a significant majority of the cases where I was annoyed by the repeated value detection kicking in. Furthermore, `nix-instantiate --eval` already disables this logic for empty attribute sets, and empty lists are already exempted everywhere. For these reasons, always print empty attribute sets and derivations as what they are. Change-Id: I5dac8e7739f9d726b76fd0521ec46f38af94463f
2024-07-18libexpr/print: pretty-print idempotentlyAlois Wohlschlager
When pretty-printing is enabled, previously an unforced thunk would trigger indentation, even when it subsequently does not evaluate to a nested structure. The resulting output looked inconsistent, and furthermore pretty-printing was not idempotent (since pretty-printing the same value again, which is now fully evaluated, will not trigger indentation). When strict evaluation is enabled, force the item before inspecting its type, so that it is properly known whether it contains a nested structure. Furthermore, there is no need to cause indentation for unforced thunks, since the very next operation will be printing them as `«thunk»`. This is mostly a port of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100 , but we only force the item when it's going to be forced anyway due to strict pretty-printing, and a new test was written since the REPL testing framework in Lix is different.

this is cursed. deeply and profoundly cursed. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES must protocol serializer helpers be applied to temporaries! doing so will inevitably cause dangling references and cause the entire thing to crash. we need to do this even so to get rid of boost coroutines, and likewise to encapsulate the serializers we suffer today at least a little bit to allow a gradual migration to an actual IPC protocol. (this isn't a problem that's unique to generators. c++ coroutines in general cannot safely take references to arbitrary temporaries since c++ does not have a lifetime system that can make this safe. -sigh-) Change-Id: I2921ba451e04d86798752d140885d3c5cc08e146

2024-07-16libstore: rewrite the nar parser as a contents generatoreldritch horrors
this is not completely necessary at this point because the parser right now already returns a generator to pass through all input data it read, but the nar parser *was* very lax and would accept nars that weren't in canonical form (defined as the form dumpPath would return). nar hashing depends on these things, and as such rewriting the parser now allows us to reject non-canonical nars that extract to the same store contents as their canonical counterpart but have different nar hashes despite that.

2024-07-13daemon: remove workaround for macOS kernel bug that seems fixedJade Lovelace
This was filed as https://github.com/nixos/nix/issues/7584, but as far as I can tell, the previous solution of POLLHUP works just fine on macOS 14. I've also tested on an ancient machine with macOS 10.15.7, which also has POLLHUP work correctly. It's possible this might regress some older versions of macOS that have a kernel bug, but I went looking through the history on the sources and didn't find anything that looked terribly convincingly like a bug fix between 2020 and today. If such a broken version exists, it seems pretty reasonable to suggest simply updating the OS. Change-Id: I178a038baa000f927ea2cbc4587d69d8ab786843
2024-07-13daemon: fix a crash bug "FATAL: exception not rethrown"Jade Lovelace
This is caused by pthread_cancel effectively throwing a not-specifically-identifiable C++ exception into the targeted thread, which, if it is not rethrown, terminates the process entirely. This is rather "impolite" behaviour, we would say. But thread cancellation is *always* busted, and we should simply not use it where unnecessary. It's particularly unnecessary when what we *actually* need it for is, err, interrupting a poll(2). That can in turn be achieved by simply listening to more stuff in the poll, namely, a pipe, which we send a character to when needing to stop the thread. While looking at this code, we also investigated whether any of the poll() madness is required, or was even *ever* required. Curiously we found in the XNU kernel source code that the thing about needing to listen to POLLHUP is probably *correct*, but switching it to POLLRDNORM should not have made any difference at all. We've left a FIXME to look into that further because what's written here is super janky. https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/94d3b452840153a99b38a3a9659680b2a006908e/bsd/kern/sys_generic.c#L1751-L1758 This is the crash on some Hydra machines: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f56b77776c0 (LWP 955542) (Exiting)): 0 0x00007f56b8e9b7dc in __pthread_kill_implementation () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 1 0x00007f56b8e49516 in raise () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 2 0x00007f56b8e31935 in abort () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 3 0x00007f56b8e327f3 in __libc_message_impl.cold () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 4 0x00007f56b8e8e8e9 in __libc_fatal () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 5 0x00007f56b8ea23c4 in unwind_cleanup () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 6 0x00007f56b9d2a1b8 in nix::triggerInterrupt() [clone .cold] () from /nix/store/sahgw550p621m9dy1pd7whl9c5g1g0p7-lix-2.90.0-rc1/lib/liblixutil.so 7 0x00007f56b990ac9d in std::thread::_State_impl<std::thread::_Invoker<std::tuple<nix::MonitorFdHup::MonitorFdHup(int)::{lambda()#1}> > >::_M_run() () from /nix/store/sahgw550p621m9dy1pd7whl9c5g1g0p7-lix-2.90.0-rc1/lib/liblixstore.so 8 0x00007f56b90e86d3 in execute_native_thread_routine () from /nix/store/c6r62m84hywf4i6qq1h28f13zv38yqyp-gcc-13.3.0-lib/lib/libstdc++.so.6 9 0x00007f56b8e99a42 in start_thread () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 10 0x00007f56b8f1905c in clone3 () from /nix/store/m71p7f0nymb19yn1dascklyya2i96jfw-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 As for testing, we've started a daemon with this change and verified it deals with HUPs correctly on x86_64-linux, but I don't think we can easily test the destructor behaviour without whatever Hydra was doing that broke.

2024-07-13language: cleanly ban integer overflowsJade Lovelace
This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype. It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope for the immediate change. During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the language: - You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values. - You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake inputs. The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some other way. Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with -fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it did. Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy (and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/445, we don't think anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow. Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they would, or by being arbitrary-precision. This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language consistency. Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/423 Change-Id: I51f253840c4af2ea5422b8a420aa5fafbf8fae75

So if you set `--dry-run`, it will print the paths it *would* have garbage collected, but not actually delete them.
