https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10456 fixed the addition of symlink
store paths to the sandbox, but also made it so that the hardcoded
sandbox paths (like `/etc/hosts`) were now bind-mounted without
following the possible symlinks. This made these files unreadable if
there were symlinks (because the sandbox would now contain a symlink to
an unreachable file rather than the underlying file).
In particular, this broke FOD derivations on NixOS as `/etc/hosts` is a
symlink there.
Fix that by canonicalizing all these hardcoded sandbox paths before
adding them to the sandbox.
Like always declining; local builds only, as can be inferred from the
docs. (Not worth spending too many words on this pretty obvious
behavior, I think. Also, plans to remove it? https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1221)
This requires moving resolveSymlinks() into SourceAccessor. Also, it
requires LocalStoreAccessor::maybeLstat() to work on parents of the
store (to avoid an error like "/nix is not in the store").
Fixes#10375.
Instead of relying on setup script to set output variables when
structured attributes are enabled, iterate over the values of an
outputs associative array.

Bind-mounting symlinks is apparently not possible, which is why the
thing was failing.
Fortunately, symlinks are small, so we can fallback to copy them at no cost.

Now that we have a few things identifying content address methods by
name, we should be consistent about it.
Move up the `parseHashAlgoOpt` for tidiness too.
Discussed this change for consistency's sake as part of #8876

This was used in only one place, namely builtins.fetchurl with an
expected hash. Since this can cause similar issues as described
in #9814 and #9905 with the "locked" flag for fetchTarball and fetchTree,
let's just remove it.
Note that if an expected hash is given and the hash algorithm is
SHA-256, then we will never do a download anyway if the resulting
store path already exists. So removing the "locked" flag will only
cause potentially unnecessary HTTP requests (subject to the tarball
TTL) for non-SHA-256 hashes.
This probably snuck in in a refactor using truthiness or so. The
trustedness flag was having the optional fullness checked, rather than
the actual contained trust level.
Also adds some tests.

code blocks, if not surrounded by empty lines, have the language
tags (in these cases, always `nix`) show up in the output of :doc.
for example:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example: nix builtins.parseFlakeRef
"github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: nix { dir =
"lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type =
"github"; }
is now instead:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example:
| builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib"
evaluates to:
| { dir = "lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type = "github"; }
When querying all paths in a binary cache store, the path's representation
is `<hash>-x` (where `x` is the value of `MissingName`) because the .narinfo
filenames only contain the hash.
Before cc46ea1630 this worked correctly,
because the entire path info was read and the path from this
representation was printed, i.e. in the form `<hash>-<name>`. Since then
however, the direct result from `queryAllValidPaths()` was used as `path`.
Added a regression test to make sure the behavior remains correct.
This was part of approved PR #10021. Unfortunately that one is stalled
on a peculiar Linux test timeout, so trying to get bits of it merged
first to bisect failure.
Forcing a conditional include, vs making the headers content
conditional, I think is more maintainable.
It is also how the other platform-specific headers (like
`namespaces.hh`) have been adapted.
A possible use of them might have been to figure out the paths
(which can now be retrieved with maybePathsOut), but I have
not found evidence that it was used this way, and it would have
been broken, because non-CA outputs weren't recorded in the map.
It's a little weird we don't check the return status for these, but
changing that would introduce risk so I did not.

This patch makes `makeDecompressionSink` strip only a single layer
of compression specified via method. This fixes erroneous decompression
of doubly-compressed NARs fetched with curl.
This function is nice for more than `PosixSourceAccessor`. We can make a
few things simpler with it.
Note that the error logic slightly changes in some of the call sites, in
that we also count `ENOTDIR` and not just `ENOENT` as not having the
file, but that should be fine.
HintFmt(string) invokes the HintFmt("%s", literal) constructor,
which is not what we want here. Add a constructor with a proper name
and call that.
Next step: rename all the other ones to HintFmt::literal(string).
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10238
Thunks are now overwritten by a helper function
`Value::finishValue(newType, payload)` (where `payload` is the
original anonymous union inside `Value`). This helps to ensure we
never update a value elsewhere, since that would be incompatible with
parallel evaluation (i.e. after a value has transitioned from being a
thunk to being a non-thunk, it should be immutable).
There were two places where this happened: `Value::mkString()` and
`ExprAttrs::eval()`.
This PR also adds a bunch of accessor functions for value contents,
like `Value::integer()` to access the integer field in the union.

In a daemon-based Nix setup, some options cannot be overridden by a
client unless the client's user is considered trusted.
Currently, if an untrusted user tries to override one of those
options, we are silently ignoring it.
This can be pretty confusing in certain situations.
e.g. a user thinks he disabled the sandbox when in reality he did not.
We are now sending a warning message letting know the user some options
have been ignored.
Related to #1761.
This is a cherry-pick of 9e0f5f803f.
The above commit has been reverted by
a59e77d9e5 to prevent spamming warnings
with experimental features, but these are now totally ignored on the
daemon side, so there's no reason for the revert any more.
Previously, `state.mkList()` would set the type of the value to tList
and allocate the list vector, but it would not initialize the values
in the list. This has two problems:
* If an exception occurs, the list is left in an undefined state.
* More importantly, for multithreaded evaluation, if a value
transitions from thunk to non-thunk, it should be final (i.e. other
threads should be able to access the value safely).
To address this, there now is a `ListBuilder` class (analogous to
`BindingsBuilder`) to build the list vector prior to the call to
`Value::mkList()`. Typical usage:
auto list = state.buildList(size);
for (auto & v : list)
v = ... set value ...;
vRes.mkList(list);
* Add regression test
* Fix 'no repo' test so it doesn't succeed if the data is still in cache
* Use git_revparse_single inside git-utils instead of reimplementing the same logic.
Previously, errors while printing values in `nix repl` would be printed
in `«error: ...»` brackets rather than displayed normally:
```
nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler
«error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.»
```
Now, errors will be displayed normally if they're emitted at the
top-level of an expression:
```
nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler
error:

```
Errors emitted in nested structures (like e.g. when printing `nixpkgs`)
will still be printed in brackets.
Strings are now printed directly when evaluated by `:print`, rather than
escaped. This makes it easier to debug multi-line strings or strings
containing quotes, like the results of `builtins.readFile`,
`lib.toShellArg`, and so on.

Fixes this very long warning, which I'll only include the first line of:
/nix/store/8wrjhrycpshhc3b41xmjwvgqr2m3yajq-libcxx-16.0.6-dev/include/c++/v1/__memory/construct_at.h:66:5: warning: destructor called on non-final 'RegexMatcher' that has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-abstract-non-virtual-dtor]

`nix eval` forces values and prints derivations as attribute sets, so
commands that print derivations (e.g. `nix eval nixpkgs#bash`) will
infinitely loop and segfault.
Printing derivations as `.drv` paths makes `nix eval` complete as
expected. Further work is needed, but this is better than a segfault.
This wasn't caught by CI because #10149 and #10152 pass
individually... It doesn't happen on lazy-trees either because we
never try to fetch relative path flakes (#10089).
we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and
their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual
concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage
and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report
positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique
to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although
at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not).
this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a
while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already
needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB
worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of
memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can
probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to
Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time
being this looks like more complexity than it's worth.
since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the
line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy:
mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin
of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add
measurable runtime overhead.
notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since
apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice
of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column
positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).
this needs a string comparison because there seems to be no other way to
get that information out of bison. usually the location info is going to
be correct (pointing at a bad token), but since EOF isn't a token as
such it'll be wrong in that this case.
this hasn't shown up much so far because a single line ending *is* a
token, so any file formatted in the usual manner (ie, ending in a line
ending) would have its EOF position reported correctly.
the parser treats a plain \r as a newline, error reports do not. this
can lead to interesting divergences if anything makes use of this
feature, with error reports pointing to wrong locations in the input (or
even outside the input altogether).
previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.
this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.
we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for
formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would
otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as
useful as one might expect.
the parser modifies its inputs, which means that sharing them between
the error context reporting system and the parser itself can confuse the
reporting system. usually this led to early truncation of error context
reports which, while not dangerous, can be quite confusing.
* Convert all InputScheme::fetch() methods to getAccessor().
* Add checkLocks() method for checking lock attributes.
* Rename fetch() to fetchToStore().
This is the case for e.g. dirty Git workdirs, where we would get
$ nix flake metadata
Resolved URL: git+file:///home/eelco/Dev/nix-master
Locked URL: git+file:///home/eelco/Dev/nix-master
The "lockedRef" field is a misnomer, since it can be unlocked
(e.g. for a dirty Git workdir). In that case, `nix profile upgrade`
needs to assume that the package can have changed, and perform an
upgrade.
When reviewing old PRs, I found that #9997 adds some code to ensure one
particular assert is always present. But, removing asserts isn't
something we do in our own release builds either in the flake here or in
nixpkgs, and is plainly a bad idea that increases support burden,
especially if other distros make bad choices of build flags in their Nix
packaging.
For context, the assert macro in the C standard is defined to do nothing
if NDEBUG is set.
There is no way in our build system to set -DNDEBUG without manually
adding it to CFLAGS, so this is simply a configuration we do not use.
Let's ban it at compile time.
I put this preprocessor directive in src/libutil.cc because it is not
obvious where else to put it, and it seems like the most logical file
since you are not getting a usable nix without it.
Directly fail if a flakeref points to something that isn't a directory
instead of falling back to the logic of trying to look up the hierarchy
to find a valid flake root.
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9868
It is possible to exfiltrate a file descriptor out of the build sandbox
of FODs, and use it to modify the store path after it has been
registered.
To avoid that issue, don't register the output of the build, but a copy
of it (that will be free of any leaked file descriptor).
Instead, serialize as NAR and send that over, then rehash sever side.
This is alorithmically simpler, but comes at the cost of a newer
parameter to `Store::addToStoreFromDump`.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).
Flakes still reside in the Nix store (so there shouldn't be any change
in behaviour), but they are now accessed via the rootFS
accessor. Since rootFS implements access checks, we no longer have to
worry about flake.{nix,lock} or their parents being symlinks that
escape from the flake.

The sandbox rule `(allow network* (local ip))` doesn't do what it
implies. Adding this rule permits all network traffic. We should be
matching on (remote ip "localhost:*")` instead.
This seems to have found one actual bug in fs-sink.cc: the symlink case
was falling into the regular file case, which can't possibly be
intentional, right?
When a file conflict arises during a package install a suggestion is
made to remove the old entry. This was previously done using the
installable URLs of the old entry. These URLs are quite verbose and
often do not equal the URL of the existing entry.
This change uses the recently introduced profile entry name for the
suggestion, resulting in a simpler output.
The improvement is easily seen in the change to the functional test.
- `nix store add` supports text hashing
With functional test ensuring it matches `builtins.toFile`.
- Factored-out flags for both commands
- Move all common reusable flags to `libcmd`
- They are not part of the *definition* of the CLI infra, just a usag
of it.
- The `libstore` flag couldn't go in `args.hh` in libutil anyways,
would be awkward for it to live alone
- Shuffle around `Cmd*` hierarchy so flags for deprecated commands don't
end up on the new ones
This PR reduces the creation of short-lived basic_json objects while
parsing flake.lock files. For large flake.lock files (~1.5MB) I was
observing ~60s being spent for trivial nix build operations while
after this change it is now taking ~1.6s.
