5f681988f2 * Use deletePathWrapped() in more places. 2006-12-09 00:26:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
fa33303146 * Goal cancellation inside the waitForInput() loop needs to be handled
very carefully, since it can invalidate iterators into the
  `children' map.
2006-12-08 18:41:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
06c4929958 * Some refactoring.
* Throw more exceptions as BuildErrors instead of Errors.  This
  matters when --keep-going is turned on.  (A BuildError is caught
  and terminates the goal in question, an Error terminates the
  program.)

9dbfe242e3 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65).  This
  timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
  `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting.  The default is
  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.

d3fe6ab024 * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output even
in case of failure.

096194ab29 * Remove ancient terminology. 2006-12-07 23:58:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6833e8bbe8 * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the owner
back to the Nix account.

Eelco Dolstra
2819eb36a4 * Be less verbose. 2006-12-07 21:43:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c3286ec020 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process,
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't.  Let
  the setuid helper do it.
2006-12-07 17:52:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f76fdb6d42 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's
processes before and after the build.
2006-12-07 16:33:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ec23ecc64d * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its
ownership, then try again.
2006-12-07 15:54:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a0a43c3206 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the
ownership of the build result after the build.
2006-12-07 15:18:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6a07ff1ec0 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before
deleting them using the setuid helper.
2006-12-07 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7d8cf316ee * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. 2006-12-07 11:27:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a45c498e4e * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the
builder under the desired build user.
2006-12-07 00:42:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
813a7c65c9 * Sanity check. 2006-12-07 00:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.
2006-12-06 20:00:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00

2b558843a2 * Be less chatty. 2006-12-05 19:01:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid()
changes completely depending on whether you're root...

4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
62b0497c0f * Better message. 2006-12-05 16:17:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a9c4f66cfb * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do
`nix-store --delete'.  But unprivileged users are not allowed to
  ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
  well.
2006-12-05 02:18:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
29cf434a35 * The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged
process, so forward the operation.
* Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71).
* findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with
  which we spam the user should be enough.
2006-12-05 01:31:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8623256f48 * findRoots: return a map from the symlink (outside of the store) to
the store path (inside the store).
2006-12-05 00:48:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d27a73b1a9 * In addPermRoot, check that the root that we just registered can be
found by the garbage collector.  This addresses NIX-71 and is a
  particular concern in multi-user stores.
2006-12-05 00:34:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
74033a844f * Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged
processes can register indirect roots.  Of course, there is still
  the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of
  the indirect roots when it's running as root...

7751160e9f * Don't redirect stderr. 2006-12-04 19:10:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
40c3529909 * Handle exceptions and stderr for all protocol functions.
* SIGIO -> SIGPOLL (POSIX calls it that).
* Use sigaction instead of signal to register the SIGPOLL handler.
  Sigaction is better defined, and a handler registered with signal
  appears not to interrupt fcntl(..., F_SETLKW, ...), which is bad.
2006-12-04 17:55:14 +00:00

0130ef88ea * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the server
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket.  The
  server forks a worker process per connection.
* readString(): use the heap, not the stack.
* Some protocol fixes.
2006-12-04 17:17:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4740baf3a6 * When NIX_REMOTE=daemon, connect to /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket
instead of forking a worker.

f5f0cf423f * Refactoring. 2006-12-04 13:28:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
052b6fb149 * Pass the verbosity level to the worker. 2006-12-04 13:15:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1e16d20655 * Install the worker in bindir, not libexecdir.
* Allow the worker path to be overriden through the NIX_WORKER
  environment variable.
2006-12-04 13:09:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f4279bcde0 * Don't run setuid root when build-users is empty.
* Send startup errors to the client.
2006-12-03 16:25:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
35247c4c9f * Removed `build-allow-root'.
* Added `build-users-group', the group under which builds are to be
  performed.
* Check that /nix/store has 1775 permission and is owner by the
  build-users-group.
2006-12-03 15:32:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4251f94b32 * Use a Unix domain socket instead of pipes. 2006-12-03 02:36:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8c76df93e6 * Better error message if the worker doesn't start. 2006-12-03 02:22:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7951c3c546 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to the
client.
2006-12-03 02:08:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e25fad691a * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function
syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing
  write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
2006-12-02 16:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8ba5d32769 * Remove queryPathHash().
* Help for nix-worker.
2006-12-02 14:27:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
fcd9900d74 * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. 2006-12-01 21:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a824d58b56 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode.
  Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call
  computeStorePathForPath).
2006-12-01 20:51:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b0d8e05be1 * More operations.
* addToStore() and friends: don't do a round-trip to the worker if
  we're only interested in the path (i.e., in read-only mode).
2006-12-01 18:00:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0565b5f2b3 * More remote operations.
* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than
  querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
2006-11-30 22:43:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
aac547a8b3 * Doh. 2006-11-30 21:32:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0263279071 * More operations. 2006-11-30 20:45:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a711689368 * First remote operation: isValidPath(). 2006-11-30 20:13:59 +00:00
