Revert "configure.ac: We require C++14 now"
This reverts commit 81c53fe8e5. This
check appears to be stricter than we need (it broke a bunch of
platforms that previously did build:
http://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1331921#tabs-now-fail).

Add build dependency for libseccomp
We're going to use libseccomp instead of creating the raw BPF program,
because we have different syscall numbers on different architectures.

Although our initial seccomp rules will be quite small it really doesn't
make sense to generate the raw BPF program because we need to duplicate
it and/or make branches on every single architecture we want to suuport.

c6beaf5708 Handle ARM triples without an endianness suffix
Alpine seems to use this, and it results in a wrong
builtins.currentSystem. Big-endian ARM systems have triples starting
with armv6eb- or armv7eb-, so this doesn't change any systems that
already worked.

ef7c2d8b3e Revert "Do not override environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS"
This reverts commit 80ebd60e7c. The
reason why we cleared CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS was because otherwise we get a
default value of -O2, which interferes with the defaults set in the
Makefile. (E.g. "make OPTIMIZE=0" should not pass -O2.)

5451b8db9d Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possible
chroot only changes the process root directory, not the mount namespace root
directory, and it is well-known that any process with chroot capability can
break out of a chroot "jail". By using pivot_root as well, and unmounting the
original mount namespace root directory, breaking out becomes impossible.

Non-root processes typically have no ability to use chroot() anyway, but they
can gain that capability through the use of clone() or unshare(). For security
reasons, these syscalls are limited in functionality when used inside a normal
chroot environment. Using pivot_root() this way does allow those syscalls to be
put to their full use.

Eelco Dolstra
e0def5bc4b Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA
signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now
specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’.

The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and
prints a public and secret key.

a583a2bc59 Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the
daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode:

$ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m0.974s
user    0m0.875s
sys     0m0.088s

$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m2.118s
user    0m1.463s
sys     0m0.218s

The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved
to a different CPU after every call to the worker.  This patch adds a
hack to lock them to the same CPU.  With this, the overhead of going
through the daemon is very small:

$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m1.074s
user    0m0.809s
sys     0m0.098s

2c9cf50746 makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount
/nix/store could be a read-only bind mount even if it is / in its own filesystem, so checking the 4th field in mountinfo is insufficient.

f794465ca8 Disable use of vfork()
vfork() is just too weird.  For instance, in this build:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487

the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even
though the child only reads from it.  At -O0 the problem goes away.
Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable.

If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.

4911a10a4e Use XZ compression in binary caches
XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2.  Here are the
compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on
my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB):

  bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08]
  xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53]
  xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19]
  xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18]
  xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40]

Note that compression takes much longer.  More importantly, however,
decompression is much faster:

  bzip2: 1m47.274s
  xz -6: 0m55.446s
  xz -7: 0m54.119s
  xz -8: 0m52.388s
  xz -9: 0m51.842s

The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair
amount (~65 MB) of memory.

bd013b6f98 On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit
I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by
creating *.pyc files when run as root.  On Linux, we can prevent this
by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr
+i’).  This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error
if setting the bit fails.  The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage
collector before deleting a path.  The only tricky aspect is in
optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an
immutable file.  Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable
bit before creating the link.
