The references set seems to have been unused since `LegacySSHStore`
references were first created in
caa5793b4a.
The method decls never were upstream, and accidentally added by me in
062533f7cd (probably due to `git rerere`).
Sorry!
This reduces the diff from #3746.
No other getDefaultFlakeAttrPaths implementation has this trailing dot,
and the dot can show up in error messages like:
error: flake '...' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.', ...
- Clarify doc comments, Installables::getCursors returns non-empty
vector
- Use vector::at in Installable::getCursor instead of checking for empty
vector and throwing an exception with error message.
Handle the case where none of getActualAttrPaths() actually exists,
in which case instead of returning an empty vector.
This fixes the case where the user misspells the attribute name in nix
search. Instead of getting no search results, now it shows an error with
suggestions.
Also remove InstallableFlake::getCursor() override since it's now
equivalent to the base class version.
Avoid needless work and throwing away invariants.
These conversions date back to when `StorePath` was in Rust and there
were issues with it missing utility methods.
Previously, getDefaultNixPath was called too early: at initialisation
time, before CLI and config have been processed, when `restrictEval` and
`pureEval` both have their default value `false`. Call it when
initialising the EvalState instead, and use `setDefault`.
clangStdenv compiles with a single warning:
```
warning: destructor called on non-final 'nix::PosAdapter' that has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-abstract-non-virtual-dtor]
```
This fixes the warning by making the destructor of PosAdapter virtual,
deffering to the correct destructor from the concrete child classes.
This has no impact in the end, as none of these classes have specific
destructors.
Technicaly, it may be faster not to have this indirection, but as per
the warning, there is only one place where we have to delete abstract
PosAdapter values.
Not worth bikesheding I guess.
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.
This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.
Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.
We had some local variables left over from the older (more
complicated) implementation of this function. They should all be unused,
but one wasn't by mistake.
Delete them all, and replace the one that was still in use as intended.
It's used as the “system” profile in a bunch of places, so better not
touch it. Besides, it doesn't hurt to keep it since it's owned by root
any way, so it doesn't have the `chown` problem that the user profiles
had and that led to wanting to move them on the client-side.
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user
profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`.
This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself
(they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to
`chown` them anymore (removing one need for root).
This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is
likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.
Originally there was no `path-info.*`, then there was `path-info.hh`,
then there was `path-info.cc`, but only for new things. Moving this
stuff over makes everything consistent.
Instead of needing to run `nix show-config --json | jq -r
'."warn-dirty".value'` to view the value of `warn-dirty`, you can now
run `nix show-config warn-dirty`.
This should be a non-empty set, and so we don't want people doing this
by accident. We remove the zero-0 constructor with a little inheritance
trickery.
`DerivedPath::Built` and `DerivationGoal` were previously using a
regular set with the convention that the empty set means all outputs.
But it is easy to forget about this rule when processing those sets.
Using `OutputSpec` forces us to get it right.
It appears that on current macOS versions, our use of poll() to detect
client disconnects no longer works. As a workaround, poll() for
POLLRDNORM, since this *will* wake up when the client has
disconnected. The downside is that it also wakes up when input is
available. So just sleep for a bit in that case. This means that on
macOS, a client disconnect may take up to a second to be detected,
but that's better than not being detected at all.
Fixes#7584.
This way the links are clearly within the manual (ie not absolute paths),
while allowing snippets to reference the documentation root reliably,
regardless of at which base url they're included.
Prior to this change, we had a bunch of ad-hoc string manipulation code
scattered around. This made it hard to figure out what data model for
string contexts is.
Now, we still store string contexts most of the time as encoded strings
--- I was wary of the performance implications of changing that --- but
whenever we parse them we do so only through the
`NixStringContextElem::parse` method, which handles all cases. This
creates a data type that is very similar to `DerivedPath` but:
- Represents the funky `=<drvpath>` case as properly distinct from the
others.
- Only encodes a single output, no wildcards and no set, for the
"built" case.
(I would like to deprecate `=<path>`, after which we are in spitting
distance of `DerivedPath` and could maybe get away with fewer types, but
that is another topic for another day.)
macOS doesn't have user namespacing, so the gid of the builder needs
to be nixbld. The logic got "has sandboxing enabled" confused with
"has user namespaces".
Fixes#7529.
This basically reverts 6e5165b773.
It fixes errors like
sandbox-exec: <internal init prelude>:292:47: unable to open sandbox-minimal.sb: not found
when trying to run a development Nix installed in a user's home
directory.
Also, we're trying to minimize the number of installed files
to make it possible to deploy Nix as a single statically-linked
binary.
Adds a new boolean structured attribute
`outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning
an output for runtime references.
__structuredAttrs = true;
outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true;
This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix
store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies.
Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature
`discard-references` to be enabled.
Previously addTempRoot() acquired the LocalStore state lock and waited
for the garbage collector to reply. If the garbage collector is in the
same process (as it the case with auto-GC), this would deadlock as
soon as the garbage collector thread needs the LocalStore state lock.
So now addTempRoot() uses separate Syncs for the state that it
needs. As long at the auto-GC thread doesn't call addTempRoot() (which
it shouldn't), it shouldn't deadlock.
Fixes#3224.
This also moves the file handle into its own Sync object so we're not
holding the _state while acquiring the file lock. There was no real
deadlock risk here since locking a newly created file cannot block,
but it's still a bit nicer.
This has the same goal as b13fd4c58e81b2b2b0d72caa5ce80de861622610,but
achieves it in a different way in order to not break
`nix why-depends --derivation`.
In principle, this should avoid deadlocks where two instances of Nix are
holding a shared lock on big-lock and are both waiting to get an
exclusive lock.
However, it seems like `flock(2)` is supposed to do this automatically,
so it's not clear whether this is actually where the problem comes from.
This makes 'nix develop' set the Linux personality in the same way
that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop
nix#devShells.i686-linux.default' on x86_64-linux to work correctly.
Without this, the error is lost, and it makes for a hard to debug
situation. Also remove some of the busyness inside the sqlite_open_v2
args.
The errcode returned is not the extended one. The only way to make open
return an extended code, would be to add SQLITE_OPEN_EXRESCODE to the
flags. In the future it might be worth making this change,
which would also simplify the existing SQLiteError code.
This makes 'nix build' work on paths (which will be copied to the
store) and store paths (returned as is). E.g. the following flake
output attributes can be built using 'nix build .#foo':
foo = ./src;
foo = self.outPath;
foo = builtins.fetchTarball { ... };
foo = (builtins.fetchTree { .. }).outPath;
foo = builtins.fetchTree { .. } + "/README.md";
foo = builtins.storePath /nix/store/...;
Note that this is potentially risky, e.g.
foo = /.;
will cause Nix to try to copy the entire file system to the store.
What doesn't work yet:
foo = self;
foo = builtins.fetchTree { .. };
because we don't handle attrsets with an outPath attribute in it yet,
and
foo = builtins.storePath /nix/store/.../README.md;
since result symlinks have to point to a store path currently (rather
than a file inside a store path).
Fixes#7417.
They did not include the detailed error message, losing essential
information for troubleshooting.
Example message:
warning: creating statement 'insert or rplace into NARs(cache, hashPart, namePart, url, compression, fileHash, fileSize, narHash, narSize, refs, deriver, sigs, ca, timestamp, present) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1)': at offset 10: SQL logic error, near "rplace": syntax error (in '/tmp/nix-shell.grQ6f7/nix-test/tests/binary-cache/test-home/.cache/nix/binary-cache-v6.sqlite')
It's not the best example; more important information will be in
the message for e.g. a constraint violation.
I don't see why this specific error is printed as a warning, but
that's for another commit.
Unsetting `build-users-group` (without `auto-allocate-uids` enabled)
gives the following error:
```
src/libstore/lock.cc:25: static std::unique_ptr<nix::UserLock> nix::SimpleUserLock::acquire(): Assertion `settings.buildUsersGroup != ""' failed.
```
Fix the logic in `useBuildUsers` and document the default value
for `build-users-group`.
This makes the position object used in exceptions abstract, with a
method getSource() to get the source code of the file in which the
error originated. This is needed for lazy trees because source files
don't necessarily exist in the filesystem, and we don't want to make
libutil depend on the InputAccessor type in libfetcher.
Make everything be in the form "while ..." (most things were already),
and in particular *don't* use other propositions that must go after or
before specific "while ..." clauses to make sense.
When debugging nix expressions the outermost trace tends to be more useful
than the innermost. It is therefore printed last to save developers from
scrolling.
We used to set enforceDeterminism to true in the settings (by default)
and thus did send a non-zero value over the wire. The value should
probably be ignored as it should only matter if nrRounds is non-zero
as well.
Having the old code here where the value is expected to be zero only
works with the same version of Nix where we are sending zero. We
should always test this against older Nix versions being client or
server as otherwise upgrade in larger networks might be a pain.
Fixes 8e0946e8df
Fix#6209
When trying to run `nix log <installable>`, try first to resolve the derivation pointed to
by `<installable>` as it is the resolved one that holds the build log.
This has a couple of shortcomings:
1. It’s expensive as it requires re-reading the derivation
2. It’s brittle because if the derivation doesn’t exist anymore or can’t
be resolved (which is the case if any one of its build inputs is missing),
then we can’t access the log anymore
However, I don’t think we can do better (at least not right now).
The alternatives I see are:
1. Copy the build log for the un-resolved derivation. But that means a
lot of duplication
2. Store the results of the resolving in the db. Which might be the best
long-term solution, but leads to a whole new class of potential
issues.
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:
- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.
If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.
The old way was not correct.
Here is an example:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1' --show-trace
error: asdf
… while evaluating 'x'
at «string»:1:9:
1| let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1
| ^
… from call site
at «string»:1:29:
1| let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1
| ^
```
and yet also:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x' --show-trace
<LAMBDA>
```
Here is the thing: in both cases we are evaluating `x`!
Nix is a higher-order languages, and functions are a sort of value. When
we write `x = a: ...`, `a: ...` is the expression that `x` is being
defined to be, and that is already a value. Therefore, we should *never*
get an trace that says "while evaluating `x`", because evaluating `a:
...` is *trival* and nothing happens during it!
What is actually happening here is we are applying `x` and evaluating
its *body* with arguments substituted for parameters. I think the
simplest way to say is just "while *calling* `x`", and so that is what I
changed it to.
We need to close the GC server socket before shutting down the active
GC client connections, otherwise a client may (re)connect and get
ECONNRESET. But also handle ECONNRESET for resilience.
Fixes random failures like
GC socket disconnected

error: reading from file: Connection reset by peer
in gc-non-blocking.sh.
It calls strlen() on the input (rather than simply copying at most
`size` bytes), which can fail if the input is not zero-terminated and
is inefficient in any case.
Fixes#7347.
why-depends assumed that we knew the output path of the second argument.
For CA derivations, we might not know until it's built. One way to solve
this would be to build the second installable to get the output path.
In this case we don't need to, though. If the first installable (A)
depends on the second (B), then getting the store path of A will
necessitate having the store path B. The contrapositive is, if the store
path of B is not known (i.e. it's a CA derivation which hasn't been
built), then A does not depend on B.
We shouldn't skip this if the supplementary group list is empty,
because then the sandbox won't drop the supplementary groups of the
parent (like "root").
The new experimental feature 'cgroups' enables the use of cgroups for
all builds. This allows better containment and enables setting
resource limits and getting some build stats.
It occurred when a output of the dependency was already available,
so it didn't need rebuilding and didn't get added to the
inputDrvOutputs.
This process-related info wasn't suitable for the purpose of finding
the actual input paths for the builder. It is better to do this in
absolute terms by querying the store.
This change is needed to support aws-sdk-cpp 1.10 and newer.
I opted not to make this dependent on the sdk version because
the crt dependency has been in the interface of the older
sdk as well, and it was only coincidence that libstore didn't
make use of any privately defined symbols directly.
When calling `builtins.readFile` on a store path, the references of that
path are currently added to the resulting string's context.
This change makes those references the *possible* context of the string,
but filters them to keep only the references whose hash actually appears
in the string, similarly to what is done for determining the runtime
references of a path.
Cgroups are now only used for derivations that require the uid-range
range feature. This allows auto UID allocation even on systems that
don't have cgroups (like macOS).
Also, make things work on modern systems that use cgroups v2 (where
there is a single hierarchy and no "systemd" controller).
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build
task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it
is built. also it's easier to pronounce.
proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how
to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will
be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data
structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a
serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).
readline is not re-entrant, so entering the debugger from the
completioncallback results in an eventual segfault.
The workaround is to temporarily disable the debugger when searching
for possible completions.
Call it as `['nix', '__build-remote', ... ]` rather than the previous
`["__build-remote", "nix __build-remote", ... ]` which seemed to have
been most likely unintended
The description of the --profile option talks about the "update" operation.
This is probably meant for operations such as "nix profile install", but the
same option is reused in other subcommands, which do not update the profile,
such as "nix profile {list,history,diff-closures}".
We update the description to make sense in both contexts.
Currently, Nix passes `-a` when it runs commands on a remote machine via
SSH, which disables agent forwarding. This causes issues when the
`ForwardAgent` option is set in SSH config files, as the command line
operation always overrides those.
In particular, this causes issues if the command being run is `sudo`
and the remote machine is configured with the equivalent of NixOS's
`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` option. Not allowing SSH agent
forwarding can cause authentication to fail unexpectedly.
This can currently be worked around by setting `NIX_SSHOPTS="-A"`, but
we should defer to the options in the SSH config files to be least
surprising for users.
* Clarify the documentation of foldl': That the arguments are forced
before application (?) of `op` is necessarily true. What is important
to stress is that we force every application of `op`, even when the
value turns out to be unused.
* Move the example before the comment about strictness to make it less
confusing: It is a general example and doesn't really showcase anything
about foldl' strictness.
* Add test cases which nail down aspects of foldl' strictness:
* The initial accumulator value is not forced unconditionally.
* Applications of op are forced.
* The list elements are not forced unconditionally.
After we've send "\2\n" to the parent, we can't send a serialized
exception anymore. It will show up garbled like
$ nix-build --store /tmp/nix --expr 'derivation { name = "foo"; system = "x86_64-linux"; builder = "/foo/bar"; }'
this derivation will be built:

While trying to use an alternate directory for my Nix installation, I
noticed that nix's output didn't reflect the updated state
directory. This patch corrects that and now prints the warning before
attempting to create the directory (if the directory creation fails,
it wouldn't have been obvious why nix was attempting to create the
directory in the first place).
With this patch, I now get the following warning:
warning: '/home/deck/.var/app/org.nixos.nix/var/nix' does not

The documentation for `parseDrvName` does not agree with the implementation when
the derivation name contains a dash which is followed by something that is
neither a letter nor a digit. This commit corrects the documentation to agree
with the implementation.
If we don't have any github token, we won't be able to fetch private
repos, but we are also more likely to run into API limits since
we don't have a token. To mitigate this only ever use the github api
if we actually have a token.
The current definition of `intersectAttrs` is incorrect:
> Return a set consisting of the attributes in the set e2 that also exist in the
> set e1.
Recall that (Nix manual, section 5.1):
> An attribute set is a collection of name-value-pairs (called attributes)
According to the existing description of `intersectAttrs`, the following should
evaluate to the empty set, since no key-value *pair* (i.e. attribute) exists in
both sets:
```
builtins.intersectAttrs { x=3; } {x="foo";}
```
And yet:
```
nix-repl> builtins.intersectAttrs { x=3; } {x="foo";}
{ x = "foo"; }
```
Clearly the intent here was for the *names* of the resulting attribute set to be
the intersection of the *names* of the two arguments, and for the values of the
resulting attribute set to be the values from the second argument.
This commit corrects the definition, making it match the implementation and intent.
Make sure that people who run Nix in non-interactive mode (and so don't have the possibility to interactively accept the individual flake configuration settings) are aware of this flag.
Fix#7086
These settings seem harmless, they control the same polling
functionality that timeout does, but with different behavior. Should
be safe for untrusted users to pass in.
I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.
What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.
I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.
The history is not critical to the functionality of nix repl, so it's
enough to warn here, rather than refuse to start if the directory Nix
thinks the history should live in can't be created.

Remove the `verify TLS: Nix CA file = 'blah'` message that Nix used to print when fetching anything as it's both useless (`libcurl` prints the same info in its logs) and misleading (gives the impression that a new TLS connection is being established which might not be the case because of multiplexing. See #7011 )
This commit adds an optional `__impure` parameter to fetchurl.nix, which allows
the caller to use `libfetcher`'s fetcher in an impure derivation. This allows
nixpkgs' patch-normalizing fetcher (fetchpatch) to be rewritten to use nix's
internal fetchurl, thereby eliminating the awkward "you can't use fetchpatch
here" banners scattered all over the place.
See also: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/188587
Implements the approach suggested by feedback on PR #6994, where
tempdir paths are created in the store (now with an exclusive lock).
As part of this work, the currently-broken and unused
`createTempDirInStore` function is updated to create an exclusive lock
on the temp directory in the store.
The GC now makes a non-blocking attempt to lock any store directories
that "look like" the temp directories created by this function, and if
it can't acquire one, ignores the directory.
Stdenv sets this to a bash that doesn't have readline/completion
support, so running 'nix (develop|shell)' inside a 'nix develop' gives
you a crippled shell. So let's just ignore the derivation's $SHELL.
This could break interactive use of build phases that use $SHELL, but
they appear to be fairly rare.
Disables the SA_RESTART behavior on macOS which causes:

From: https://man.openbsd.org/sigaction#SA_RESTART
This being set on macOS caused a bug where read() calls to the daemon
socket were blocking after a SIGINT was received. As a result,
checkInterrupt was never reached even though the signal was received
by the signal handler thread.
On Linux, SA_RESTART is disabled by default. This probably effects
other BSDs but I don’t have the ability to test it there right now.
readDerivation is pretty slow, and while it may not be significant for
some use cases, on things like ghc-nix where we have thousands of
derivations is really slows things down.
So, this just doesn’t do the impure derivation check if the impure
derivation experimental feature is disabled. Perhaps we could cache
the result of isPure() and keep the check, but this is a quick fix to
for the slowdown introduced with impure derivations features in 2.8.0.
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md`
links showing up.
it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command
reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline
documentation is hopefully not a big deal.
instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing
the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better
be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`:
https://github.com/kristapsdz/lowdown/issues/105
This was caused by -L calling setLogFormat() again, which caused the
creation of a new progress bar without destroying the old one. So we
had two progress bars clobbering each other.
We should change 'logger' to be a smart pointer, but I'll do that in a
future PR.
Fixes#6931.
98e361ad4c introduced a regression where
previously stored attributes were replaced by placeholders. As a
result, a command like 'nix build nixpkgs#hello' had to be executed at
least twice to get caching.
This code does not seem necessary for suggestions to work.
This issue made it impossible for clients using a serve protocol of
version <= 2.3 to use the `cmdBuildDerivation` command of servers using
a protocol of version >= 2.6. The faulty version check makes the server
send back build outputs that the client is not expecting.
This hang for some reason didn't trigger in the Nix build, but did
running 'make installcheck' interactively. What happened:
* Store::addMultipleToStore() calls a SinkToSource object to copy a
path, which in turn calls LegacySSHStore::narFromPath(), which
acquires a connection.
* The SinkToSource object is not destroyed after the last bytes has
been read, so the coroutine's stack is still alive and its
destructors are not run. So the connection is not released.
* Then when the next path is copied, because max-connections = 1,
LegacySSHStore::narFromPath() hangs forever waiting for a connection
to be released.
The fix is to make sure that the source object is destroyed when we're
done with it.
Makes `printValueAsJSON` not copy paths to the store for `nix eval
--json`, `nix-instantiate --eval --json` and `nix-env --json`.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5612
RewritingSink can handle being fed input where a reference crosses a
chunk boundary. we don't need to load the whole source into memory, and
in fact *not* loading the whole source lets nix build FODs that do not
fit into memory (eg fetchurl'ing data files larger than system memory).
Some activities are numerous but usually very short (e.g. copying a
source file to the store) which would cause a lot of flickering. So
only show activities that have been running for at least 10 ms.
Rather than directly copying the source to its dest, copy it first to a
temporary location, and eventually move that temporary.
That way, the move is at least atomic from the point-of-view of the destination
The recursive copy from the stl doesn’t exactly do what we need because
1. It doesn’t delete things as we go
2. It doesn’t keep the mtime, which change the nars
So re-implement it ourselves. A bit dull, but that way we have what we want
In `nix::rename`, if the call to `rename` fails with `EXDEV` (failure
because the source and the destination are in a different filesystems)
switch to copying and removing the source.
To avoid having to re-implement the copy manually, I switched the
function to use the c++17 `filesystem` library (which has a `copy`
function that should do what we want).
Fix#6262
Once a derivation goal has been completed, we check whether or not
this goal was meant to be repeated to check its output.
An early return branch was preventing the worker to reach that repeat
code branch, hence breaking the --check command (#2619).
It seems like this early return branch is an artifact of a passed
refactoring. As far as I can tell, buildDone's main branch also
cleanup the tmp directory before returning.
By default, Nix sets the "cores" setting to the number of CPUs which are
physically present on the machine. If cgroups are used to limit the CPU
and memory consumption of a large Nix build, the OOM killer may be
invoked.
For example, consider a GitLab CI pipeline which builds a large software
package. The GitLab runner spawns a container whose CPU is limited to 4
cores and whose memory is limited to 16 GiB. If the underlying machine
has 64 cores, Nix will invoke the build with -j64. In many cases, that
level of parallelism will invoke the OOM killer and the build will
completely fail.
This change sets the default value of "cores" to be
ceil(cpu_quota / cpu_period), with a fallback to
std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() if cgroups v2 is not detected.
The workaround for "Some distros patch Linux" mentioned in
local-derivation-goal.cc will not help in the `--option
sandbox-fallback false` case. To provide the user more helpful
guidance on how to get the sandbox working, let's check to see if the
`/proc` node created by the aforementioned patch is present and
configured in a way that will cause us problems. If so, give the user
a suggestion for how to troubleshoot the problem.
local-derivation-goal.cc contains a comment stating that "Some distros
patch Linux to not allow unprivileged user namespaces." Let's give a
pointer to a common version of this patch for those who want more
details about this failure mode.
This commit causes nix to `warn()` if sandbox setup has failed and
`/proc/self/ns/user` does not exist. This is usually a sign that the
kernel was compiled without `CONFIG_USER_NS=y`, which is required for
sandboxing.
This commit uses `warn()` to notify the user if sandbox setup fails
with errno==EPERM and /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces is missing or
zero, since that is at least part of the reason why sandbox setup
failed.
Note that `echo -n 0 > /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces` or
equivalent at boot time has been the recommended mitigation for
several Linux LPE vulnerabilities over the past few years. Many users
have applied this mitigation and then forgotten that they have done
so.
The failure modes for nix's sandboxing setup are pretty complicated.
When nix is unable to set up the sandbox, let's provide more detail
about what went wrong. Specifically:
* Make sure the error message includes the word "sandbox" so the user
knows that the failure was related to sandboxing.
* If `--option sandbox-fallback false` was provided, and removing it
would have allowed further attempts to make progress, let the user
know.
I recently got fairly confused why the following expression didn't have
any effect
{
description = "Foobar";
inputs.sops-nix = {
url = github:mic92/sops-nix;
inputs.nixpkgs_22_05.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
}
until I found out that the input was called `nixpkgs-22_05` (please note
the dash vs. underscore).
IMHO it's not a good idea to not throw an error in that case and
probably leave end-users rather confused, so I implemented a small check
for that which basically checks whether `follows`-declaration from
overrides actually have corresponding inputs in the transitive flake.
In fact this was done by accident already in our own test-suite where
the removal of a `follows` was apparently forgotten[1].
Since the key of the `std::map` that holds the `overrides` is a vector
and we have to find the last element of each vector (i.e. the override)
this has to be done with a for loop in O(n) complexity with `n` being
the total amount of overrides (which shouldn't be that large though).
Please note that this doesn't work with nested expressions, i.e.
inputs.fenix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "...";
which is a known problem[2].
For the expression demonstrated above, an error like this will be
thrown:
error: sops-nix has a `follows'-declaration for a non-existant input nixpkgs_22_05!

Defers completion of flake inputs until the whole command line is parsed
so that we know what flakes we need to complete the inputs of.
Previously, `nix build flake --update-input <Tab>` always behaved like
`nix build . --update-input <Tab>`.
Prevents errors when running with UBSan:

Specifically, if we're not root and the daemon socket does not exist,
then we use ~/.local/share/nix/root as a chroot store. This enables
non-root users to download nix-static and have it work out of the box,
e.g.
ubuntu@ip-10-13-1-146:~$ ~/nix run nixpkgs#hello
warning: '/nix' does not exists, so Nix will use '/home/ubuntu/.local/share/nix/root' as a chroot store
Hello, world!
With this, Nix will write a copy of the sandbox shell to /bin/sh in
the sandbox rather than bind-mounting it from the host filesystem.
This makes /bin/sh work out of the box with nix-static, i.e. you no
longer get
/nix/store/qa36xhc5gpf42l3z1a8m1lysi40l9p7s-bootstrap-stage4-stdenv-linux/setup: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
This allows changes to nix-cache-info to be picked up by existing
clients. Previously, the only way for this to happen would be for
clients to delete binary-cache-v6.sqlite, which is quite awkward for
users.
On the other hand, updates to nix-cache-info should be pretty rare,
hence the choice of a fairly long TTL. Configurability is probably not
useful enough to warrant implementing it.
Allow `nix build flake1 flake2 --update-input <Tab>` to complete the
inputs of both flakes.
Also do tilde expansion so that `nix build ~/flake --update-input <Tab>`
works.
Useful because a default `sudo` on darwin doesn't clear `$HOME`, so things like `sudo nix-channel --list`
will surprisingly return the USER'S channels, rather than `root`'s.

Basically an attempt to resume fixing #5543 for a breakage introduced
earlier[1]. Basically, when evaluating an older `nixpkgs` with
`nix-shell` the following error occurs:
λ ma27 [~] → nix-shell -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-18.03 -p nix
error: anonymous function at /nix/store/zakqwc529rb6xcj8pwixjsxscvlx9fbi-source/pkgs/top-level/default.nix:20:1 called with unexpected argument 'inNixShell'

81|
82| import ./. (builtins.removeAttrs args [ "system" "platform" ] // {
| ^
83| inherit config overlays crossSystem;
This is a problem because one of the main selling points of Nix is that
you can evaluate any old Nix expression and still get the same result
(which also means that it *still evaluates*). In fact we're deprecating,
but not removing a lot of stuff for that reason such as unquoted URLs[2]
or `builtins.toPath`. However this property was essentially thrown away
here.
The change is rather simple: check if `inNixShell` is specified in the
formals of an auto-called function. This means that
{ inNixShell ? false }:
builtins.trace inNixShell
(with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; })
will show `trace: true` while
args@{ ... }:
builtins.trace args.inNixShell
(with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; })
will throw the following error:
error: attribute 'inNixShell' missing
This is explicitly needed because the function in
`pkgs/top-level/impure.nix` of e.g. NixOS 18.03 has an ellipsis[3], but
passes the attribute-set on to another lambda with formals that doesn't
have an ellipsis anymore (hence the error from above). This was perhaps
a mistake, but we can't fix it anymore. This also means that there's
AFAICS no proper way to check if the attr-set that's passed to the Nix
code via `EvalState::autoCallFunction` is eventually passed to a lambda
with formals where `inNixShell` is missing.
However, this fix comes with a certain price. Essentially every
`shell.nix` that assumes `inNixShell` to be passed to the formals even
without explicitly specifying it would break with this[4]. However I think
that this is ugly, but preferable:
* Nix 2.3 was declared stable by NixOS up until recently (well, it still
is as long as 21.11 is alive), so most people might not have even
noticed that feature.
* We're talking about a way shorter time-span with this change being
in the wild, so the fallout should be smaller IMHO.

Overrides for inputs with flake=false were non-sticky, since they
changed the `original` in `flake.lock`. This fixes it, by using the same
locked original for both flake and non-flake inputs.
nixos/nix#6290 introduced a regex pattern to account for tags when
resolving sourcehut refs. nixos/nix#4638 reafactored the code,
accidentally treating the pattern as a regular string, causing all
non-HEAD ref resolving to break.
This fixes the regression and adds more test cases to avoid future
breakage.
The manpage for `getgrouplist` says:
> If the number of groups of which user is a member is less than or
> equal to *ngroups, then the value *ngroups is returned.
>
> If the user is a member of more than *ngroups groups, then
> getgrouplist() returns -1. In this case, the value returned in
> *ngroups can be used to resize the buffer passed to a further
> call getgrouplist().
In our original code, however, we allocated a list of size `10` and, if
`getgrouplist` returned `-1` threw an exception. In practice, this
caused the code to fail for any user belonging to more than 10 groups.
While unusual for single-user systems, large companies commonly have a
huge number of POSIX groups users belong to, causing this issue to crop
up and make multi-user Nix unusable in such settings.
The fix is relatively simple, when `getgrouplist` fails, it stores the
real number of GIDs in `ngroups`, so we must resize our list and retry.
Only then, if it errors once more, we can raise an exception.
This should be backported to, at least, 2.9.x.
Bring back the possibility to copy CA paths with no reference (like the
outputs of FO derivations or stuff imported at eval time) between stores
that have a different prefix.
If a package's attribute path, description or name contains matches for any of the
regexes specified via `-e` or `--exclude` that package is excluded from
the final output.
Currently nix-build prints the "printMissing" information by default,
nix build doesn’t.
People generally don‘t notice this because the standard log-format of
nix build would not display the printMissing
output long enough to perceive the information.

Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by
default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless
it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag.
In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override
`pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands
where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure
eval actually matters).
Closes#5867
The git fetcher code used to dereference the (potentially empty) `ref`
input attribute. This was magically working, probably because the
compiler somehow outsmarted us, but is now blowing up with newer nixpkgs
versions.
Fix that by not trying to access this field while we don't know for sure
that it has been defined.

This solves the error
error: cannot connect to socket at '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused
on build farm systems that are loaded but operating normally.
I've seen this happen on an M1 mac running a loaded hercules-ci-agent.
Hercules CI uses multiple worker processes, which may connect to
the Nix daemon around the same time. It's not unthinkable that
the Nix daemon listening process isn't scheduled until after 6
workers try to connect, especially on a system under load with
many workers.
Is the increase safe?
The number is the number of connections that the kernel will buffer
while the listening process hasn't `accept`-ed them yet.
It did not - and will not - restrict the total number of daemon
forks that a client can create.
History
The number 5 has remained unchanged since the introduction in
nix-worker with 0130ef88ea in 2006.
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)

If experimental feature "flakes" is enabled, args passed to `nix repl`
will now be considered flake refs and imported using the existing
`:load-flake` machinery.
In addition, `:load-flake` now supports loading flake fragments.
Don’t explicitely give it a constructor, but use aggregate
initialization instead (also prevents having an implicit coertion, which
is probably good here)

* libexpr: fix builtins.split example
The example was previously indicating that multiple whitespaces would be
collapsed into a single captured whitespace. That isn't true and was
likely a mistake when being documented initially.
* Fix segfault on unitilized list when printing value
Since lists are just chunks of memory the individual elements in the
list might be unitilized when a programming error happens within Nix.
In this case the values are null-initialized (at least with Boehm GC)
and we can avoid a nullptr deref when printing them.
I ran into this issue while ensuring that new expression tests would
show the actual value on an assertion failure.
This is unlikely to cause any runtime performance regressions as
printing values is not really in the hot path (unless the repl is the
primary use case).
* Add operator<< for ValueTypes
* Add libexpr tests
This introduces tests for libexpr that evalulate various trivial Nix
language expressions and primop invocations that should be good smoke
tests wheter or not the implementation is behaving as expected.
Since a26be9f3b8, the same parser is used
to parse the result of sourcehut’s `HEAD` endpoint (coming from [git
dumb protocol]) and the output of `git ls-remote`. However, they are very
slightly different (the former doesn’t specify the current reference
since it’s implied to be `HEAD`).
Unify both, and make the parser a bit more robust and understandable (by
making it more typed and adding tests for it)
[git dumb protocol]: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Transfer-Protocols#_the_dumb_protocol
I'm afraid I missed a few problematic `git(1)`-calls while implementing
PR #6440, sorry for that! Upon investigating what went wrong, I realized
that I only tested against the "cached"-case by accident because my
git-checkout with my system's flake was apparently cached during my
debugging.
I managed to trigger the original issue again by running:
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "tmp"
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .# -L --builders ''
Since `repoDir` points to the checkout that's potentially owned by
another user, I decided to add `--git-dir` to each call affecting
`repoDir`.
Since the `tmpDir` for the temporary submodule-checkout is created by
Nix itself, it doesn't seem to be an issue.
Sorry for that, it should be fine now.
The previous head caching implementation stored two paths in the local
cache; one for the cached git repo and another textfile containing the
resolved HEAD ref. This commit instead stores the resolved HEAD by
setting the HEAD ref in the local cache appropriately.
A mips64el Linux MIPS kernel can execute userspace code using any of
three ABIs:
mips64el-linux-*abin64
mips64el-linux-*abin32
mipsel-linux-*
The first of these is the native 64-bit ABI, and the only ABI with
64-bit pointers; this is sometimes called "n64". The last of these is
the old legacy 32-bit ABI, whose binaries can execute natively on
32-bit MIPS hardware; this is sometimes called "o32".
The second ABI, "n32" is essentially the 64-bit ABI with 32-bit
pointers and address space. Hardware 64-bit integer/floating
arithmetic is still allowed, as well as the much larger mips64
register set and more-efficient calling convention.
Let's enable seccomp filters for all of these. Likewise for big
endian (mips64-linux-*).
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes#6385.
Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.
after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the
string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that
compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this
guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as
a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to
be formatted for output.
this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous
semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and
rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups
into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many
places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that
formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol
that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and
inconvient.
The `--git-dir=` must be `.` in some cases (for cached repos that are
"bare" repos in `~/.cache/nix/gitv3`). With this fix we can add
`--git-dir` to each `git`-invokation needed for `nixos-rebuild`.
To demonstrate the problem:
* You need a `git` at 2.33.3 in your $PATH
* An expression like this in a git repository:
``` nix
{
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.foo.x86_64-linux = with nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
runCommand "snens" { } ''
echo ${(builtins.fetchGit ./.).lastModifiedDate} > $out
'';
};
}
```
Now, when instantiating the package via `builtins.getFlake`, it fails on
Nix 2.7 like this:
$ nix-instantiate -E '(builtins.getFlake "'"$(pwd)"'").packages.foo.x86_64-linux'
fatal: unsafe repository ('/nix/store/a7j3125km4h8l0p71q6ssfkxamfh5d61-source' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /nix/store/a7j3125km4h8l0p71q6ssfkxamfh5d61-source
error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
This breaks e.g. `nixops`-deployments using flakes with similar
expressions as shown above.
The cause for this is that `git(1)` tries to find the highest
`.git`-directory in the directory tree and if it finds a such a
directory, but with another owning user (root vs. the user who evaluates
the expression), it fails as above. This was changed recently to fix
CVE-2022-24765[1].
By explicitly specifying `--git-dir`, Git assumes to be in the top-level
directory and doesn't attempt to look for a `.git`-directory in the
parent directories and thus the code-path leading to said error is never
reached.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqv8veb5i6.fsf@gitster.g/
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```
This will still fail on write-only stores.
with position and symbol tables in place we can now shrink Attr by a full
pointer with some simple field reordering. since Attr is a very hot struct this
has substantial impact on memory use, decreasing GC allocations and heap size by
10-15% each. we also get a ~15% performance improvement due to reduced GC
loading.
pure parsing has taken a hit over the branch base because positions are now
slightly more expensive to create, but overall we get a noticeable improvement.

this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this
increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in
the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at
least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no
increase in memory on average.
symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar
arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many
string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each,
assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs
say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for
symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates
less than a million symbols!)
PosTable deduplicates origin information, so using symbols for paths is no
longer necessary. moving away from path Symbols also reduces the usage of
symbols for things that are not keys in attribute sets, which will become
important in the future when we turn symbols into indices as well.
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.
when we introduce position and symbol tables we'll need to do lookups to turn
indices into those tables into actual positions/symbols. having the error
functions as members of EvalState will avoid a lot of churn for adding lookups
into the tables for each caller.
only file and line of the returned position were ever used, it wasn't actually
used a position. as such we may as well use a path+int pair for only those two
values and remove a use of Pos that would not work well with a position table.
a future commit will remove the ability to convert the symbol type used in
bindings to strings. since we only have two users we can inline the error check.
the only use of this function is to determine whether a lambda has a non-set
formal, but this use is arguably better served by Symbol::set and using a
non-Symbol instead of an empty symbol in the parser when no such formal is present.
we don't *need* symbols here. the only advantage they have over strings is
making call-counting slightly faster, but that's a diagnostic feature and thus
needn't be optimized.
this also fixes a move bug that previously didn't show up: PrimOp structs were
accessed after being moved from, which technically invalidates them. previously
the names remained valid because Symbol copies on move, but strings are
invalidated. we now copy the entire primop struct instead of moving since primop
registration happen once and are not performance-sensitive.

If the derivation `foo` depends on `bar`, and they both have the same

This confuses SQLite which isn’t able to automatically solve this

Don’t say that the derivation is CA as it might happen on a non-ca
derivation too.
Technically we could always recover _something_ for a purely
input-addressed derivation (like we already do when the `ca-derivations`
xp feature isn’t enabled), but it seems better to consistently fail −
the end-result wouldn’t really make sense anyways in most cases.
This ensures that use-sites properly trigger new monomorphisations on
one hand, and on the other hand keeps the main `sqlite.hh` clean and
interface-only. I think that is good practice in general, but in this
situation in particular we do indeed have `sqlite.hh` users that don't
need the `throw_` function.
