ab3ce1cc13 Improve SIGINT handling in multi-threaded programs
The flag remembering whether an Interrupted exception was thrown is
now thread-local. Thus, all threads will (eventually) throw
Interrupted. Previously, one thread would throw Interrupted, and then
the other threads wouldn't see that they were supposed to quit.

784ee35c80 Add "nix verify-paths" command
Unlike "nix-store --verify-path", this command verifies signatures in
addition to store path contents, is multi-threaded (especially useful
when verifying binary caches), and has a progress indicator.

Example use:

$ nix verify-paths --store https://cache.nixos.org -r $(type -p thunderbird)

c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

1511aa9f48 Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure
Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire
closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only
need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can
contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include
source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts).

So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that
performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation
(BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files
that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation
(drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as
described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this
interface.

Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a
derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will
require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be
computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be
verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be
quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env
-i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk).

Fixes #173.

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.

8b88d25cda libutil: Limit readLink() error to only overflows.
Let's not just improve the error message itself, but also the behaviour
to actually work around the ntfs-3g symlink bug. If the readlink() call
returns a smaller size than the stat() call, this really isn't a problem
even if the symlink target really has changed between the calls.

So if stat() reports the size for the absolute path, it's most likely
that the relative path is smaller and thus it should also work for file
system bugs as mentioned in 93002d69fc58c2b71e2dfad202139230c630c53a.

bbd45ac80f libutil: Improve errmsg on readLink size mismatch.
A message like "error: reading symbolic link `...' : Success" really is
quite confusing, so let's not indicate "success" but rather point out
the real issue.

We could also limit the check of this to just check for non-negative
values, but this would introduce a race condition between stat() and
readlink() if the link target changes between those two calls, thus
leading to a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Reported by @Ericson2314 on IRC. Happened due to a possible ntfs-3g bug
where a relative symlink returned the absolute path (st_)size in stat()
while readlink() returned the relative size.

976df480c9 Add a primop for regular expression pattern matching
The function ‘builtins.match’ takes a POSIX extended regular
expression and an arbitrary string. It returns ‘null’ if the string
does not match the regular expression. Otherwise, it returns a list
containing substring matches corresponding to parenthesis groups in
the regex. The regex must match the entire string (i.e. there is an
implied "^<pat>$" around the regex).  For example:

  match "foo" "foobar" => null
  match "foo" "foo" => []
  match "f(o+)(.*)" "foooobar" => ["oooo" "bar"]
  match "(.*/)?([^/]*)" "/dir/file.nix" => ["/dir/" "file.nix"]
  match "(.*/)?([^/]*)" "file.nix" => [null "file.nix"]

The following example finds all regular files with extension .nix or
.patch underneath the current directory:

  let

    findFiles = pat: dir: concatLists (mapAttrsToList (name: type:
      if type == "directory" then
        findFiles pat (dir + "/" + name)
      else if type == "regular" && match pat name != null then
        [(dir + "/" + name)]
      else []) (readDir dir));

  in findFiles ".*\\.(nix|patch)" (toString ./.)

276a40b31f Handle case collisions on case-insensitive systems
When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.

The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.

Closes #119.

9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

49009573bc Don't interpret strings as format strings
Ludo reported this error:

  unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed

coming from this line:

  printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));

The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially.  I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.

Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens.  So you don't have to worry about % in statements like

  printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);

or

  throw Error("foo: " + s);

2bd0fcc966 Use libnix as a prefix for all Nix libraries
In particular "libutil" was always a problem because it collides with
Glibc's libutil.  Even if we install into $(libdir)/nix, the linker
sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but
not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore
because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).

936f9d45ba Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU.  This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied.  So
we turn this off for Perl programs.

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

e87d1a63bd killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple
The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that
kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no
way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything
and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't
safely conclude that killUser was successful.

Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines
whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall
directly and avoid the issue on Apple.
