21520297da reproducibility: hide non-reproducible settings from manual
Because the manual is generated from default values which are themselves
generated from various sources (cpuid, bios settings (kvm), number of
cores). This commit hides non-reproducible settings from the manual
output.

af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

Add use-registries config option (and deprecate --no-registries flag)
Some people want to avoid using registries at all on their system; Instead
of having to add --no-registries to every command, this commit allows to
set use-registries = false in the config. --no-registries is still allowed
everywhere it was allowed previously, but is now deprecated.

31313d1401 Replace the trailing markdown spaces by a backslash
They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).

9b1824ecbd Add extraPlatforms for Rosetta 2 macOS
macOS systems with ARM64 can utilize a translation layer at
/Library/Apple/usr/libexec/oah to run x86_64 binaries. This change
makes Nix recognize that and it to "extra-platforms". Note that there
are two cases here since Nix could be built for either x86_64 or
aarch64. In either case, we can switch to the other architecture.
Unfortunately there is not a good way to prevent aarch64 binaries from
being run in x86_64 contexts or vice versa - programs can always
execute programs for the other architecture.

Update to use access-tokens configuration for github/gitlab access.
This change provides support for using access tokens with other

gitlab.com (especially company-specific or foundation-specific
instances).

This change also provides the ability to specify the type of access
token being used, where different types may have different handling,
based on the forge type.

a303c0b6dc Fetch commits from github/gitlab using Auth header
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires
authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request
fails with a 404.

This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API.
It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the
user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header.

The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed
in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.

641c950701 Add hashed-mirrors back
Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror
things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although
this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always
easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has.
Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave
support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in
Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix.

Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in
\#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org.

34f25124ba Make LocalStore::addToStore(srcPath) run in constant memory
This reduces memory consumption of

  nix-instantiate \
    -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { src = ./blender; } "echo foo"' \
    --option nar-buffer-size 10000

(where ./blender is a 1.1 GiB tree) from 1716 to 36 MiB, while still
ensuring that we don't do any write I/O for small source paths (up to
'nar-buffer-size' bytes). The downside is that large paths are now
always written to a temporary location in the store, even if they
produce an already valid store path. Thus, adding large paths might be
slower and run out of disk space. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Of course, you can always
restore the old behaviour by setting 'nar-buffer-size' to a very high
value.

ba50c3efa3 Add "uid-range" and "systemd-cgroup" system features
"uid-range" provides 65536 UIDs to a build and runs the build as root
in its user namespace. "systemd-cgroup" allows the build to mount the
systemd cgroup controller (needed for running systemd-nspawn and NixOS
containers).

Also, add a configuration option "auto-allocate-uids" which is needed
to enable these features, and some experimental feature gates.

So to enable support for containers you need the following in
nix.conf:

  experimental-features = auto-allocate-uids systemd-cgroup
  auto-allocate-uids = true
  system-features = uid-range systemd-cgroup

ca2f64bcda Reduce # of UIDs per build to 65536
2^18 was overkill. The idea was to enable multiple containers to run
inside a build. However, those containers can use the same UID range -
we don't really care about perfect isolation between containers inside
a build.

836573a9a2 Dynamically allocate UIDs
Rather than rely on a nixbld group, we now allocate UIDs/GIDs
dynamically starting at a configurable ID (872415232 by default).

Also, we allocate 2^18 UIDs and GIDs per build, and run the build as
root in its UID namespace. (This should not be the default since it
breaks some builds. We probably should enable this conditional on a
requiredSystemFeature.) The goal is to be able to run (NixOS)
containers in a build. However, this will also require some cgroup
initialisation.

The 2^18 UIDs/GIDs is intended to provide enough ID space to run
multiple containers per build, e.g. for distributed NixOS tests.

462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.

  fetchTree {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
    ref = "some-branch";
    rev = "abcdef...";
  }

The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.

All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).

This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).

Add a post-build-hook
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:

    DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
    OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev

This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).

This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`
and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2
compatible format:

    [nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix
    these derivations will be built:

11d8534629 Use sandbox fallback when cloning fails in builder
When sandbox-fallback = true (the default), the Nix builder will fall
back to disabled sandbox mode when the kernel doesn’t allow users to
set it up. This prevents hard errors from occuring in tricky places,
especially the initial installer. To restore the previous behavior,
users can set:

  sandbox-fallback = false

in their /etc/nix/nix.conf configuration.

Add '--no-net' convenience flag
This flag

* Disables substituters.

* Sets the tarball-ttl to infinity (ensuring e.g. that the flake
  registry and any downloaded flakes are considered current).

* Disables retrying downloads and sets the connection timeout to the
  minimum. (So it doesn't completely disable downloads at the moment.)

(cherry picked from commit 8ea842260b)

Check requiredSystemFeatures for local builds
For example, this prevents a "kvm" build on machines that don't have
KVM.

Modularize config settings
Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.

Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.

eb03a296c1 Add build-extra-platforms setting
This allows specifying additional systems that a machine is able to
build for. This may apply on some armv7-capable aarch64 processors, or
on systems using qemu-user with binfmt-misc to support transparent
execution of foreign-arch programs.

This removes the previous hard-coded assumptions about which systems are
ABI-compatible with which other systems, and instead relies on the user
to specify any additional platforms that they have ensured compatibility
for and wish to build for locally.

NixOS should probably add i686-linux on x86_64-linux systems for this
setting by default.

Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a
NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for
typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it.

Issue #179.

8f186722a9 Set backup MANPATH in case man path isn’t set correctly.
Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:

nix-env --help

The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".

To test this, I’m using the following:

$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help

Fixes #1627
