44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid() 
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
 2006-12-05 18:28:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6f0d050324 * Tricky: child processes should not send data to the client since 
that might mess up the protocol.  And besides, the socket file
  descriptor is probably closed.

4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00

8d1854c3f1 * Oops! In daemon mode, we can't run as root either if build-users is empty. 2006-12-05 17:44:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
99655245ae * Use an explicit handler for SIGCHLD, since SIG_IGN doesn't do the 
right thing on FreeBSD 4 (it leaves zombies).

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.

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).

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...

0d40f6d7bb * Not every OS knows about SIGPOLL. 2006-12-04 22:58:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.

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

4740baf3a6 * When NIX_REMOTE=daemon, connect to /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket 
instead of forking a worker.

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.

84d6459bd5 * Use setreuid if setresuid is not available. 2006-12-03 14:32:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a9f9241054 * Handle a subtle race condition: the client closing the socket 
between the last worker read/write and the enabling of the signal
  handler.
 2006-12-03 03:16:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3ed9e4ad9b * Some hardcore magic to handle asynchronous client disconnects. 
The problem is that when we kill the client while the worker is
  building, and the builder is not writing anything to stderr, then
  the worker never notice that the socket is closed on the other side,
  so it just continues indefinitely.  The solution is to catch SIGIO,
  which is sent when the far side of the socket closes, and simulate
  an normal interruption.  Of course, SIGIO is also sent every time
  the client sends data over the socket, so we only enable the signal
  handler when we're not expecting any data...

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
714fa24cfb * Run the worker in a separate session to prevent terminal signals 
from interfering.
 2006-12-03 00:52:27 +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.

536595b072 * Remove most of the old setuid code.

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).

ceb982a1be * Right name. 2006-12-01 18:02:05 +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
Eelco Dolstra
765bdfe542 * When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave 
mode.  Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user.
  The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so
  the caller can be completely unprivileged.

  This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since
  the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on.
  Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user
  files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure
  store operations.

  Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off
  a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket.
  That would be even more secure.
 2006-11-30 19:54:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program. 
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.

6ecb840fd1 * Put building in the store API. 2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e2ef5e07fd * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI 
containing functions that operate on the Nix store.  One
  implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
  directly.  The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
  create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
  privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
  operations.

92417600a1 * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation. 2006-11-29 21:58:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
71e867c5f5 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group. 
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on
  platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and
  FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix
  binaries.

c6a97e3b74 * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.

a76efaeb3f * Dead files. 2006-11-24 20:07:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0541ddc7e3 * Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This 
gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard
  input/output.  (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to
  call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).)  For instance, `nix-store
  --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a
  certain input.  Another victory for Valgrind.
 2006-11-18 18:56:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f459a5bb3a * Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessary 
now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy.
 2006-11-13 18:19:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e2a70b7ec0 * Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references 
graph to be passed to a builder.  This attribute should be a list of
  pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...].  The references graph of each
  `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build
  directory.  The text files have the format used by `nix-store
  --register-validity'.  However, the deriver fields are left empty.

  `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do
  something with the closure of a store path.  Examples: the builders
  that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS.

  `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure.  It's necessary because
  otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would
  be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though
  unfortunately possible).
 2006-11-13 18:18:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e40d4a5604 * Option --reregister' in nix-store --register-validity'. We need 
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the
  cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual
  contents.

Eelco Dolstra
ae6fb27f18 * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if 
available.  For instance,

    $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less

  lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your
  profile.

* `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.

9bd93f7606 * toFile: maintain the references. 2006-10-19 17:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6a67556f71 * Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to 
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the
  specified set.  For instance,

    allowedReferences = [];

  specifies that the output cannot have any references.  (This is
  useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for
  stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity).  It
  could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies,
  e.g.,

    {gcc, dynlib}: derivation {
      ...
      allowedReferences = [dynlib];
    }

  says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not
  `gcc'.  A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for
  this, though.

cf705eaf78 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass 
non-store paths to a builder.

Eelco Dolstra
d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string 
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list. 
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented

86cbd93ec1 * nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations / 
--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely
  unlikely) race conditions.
 2006-09-14 22:33:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5c38c863bd * Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector. 
Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely
  add a new root.  So if nix-env started after and finished before the
  garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff)
  it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink
  chain in ~/.nix-profile...

* Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big
  garbage collector lock...").

* Don't loop trying to create a new generation.  It's not necessary
  anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.

Eelco Dolstra
7974aae81c * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store 
and returns its path.  This can be used to (for instance) write
  builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    builder = "
      source $stdenv/setup

    ";
    ...
  }
 2006-09-01 12:07:31 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra
1fca76870b * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all 
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings.  This is
  possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that
  describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the
  string.

Eelco Dolstra
4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing 
all the primops.  This allows Nix expressions to test for new
  primops and take appropriate action if they're not available.  For
  instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
  say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
 2006-08-23 14:39:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
24e234a2fa * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order

Martin Bravenboer
3e5b68068b On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world 
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.

0e6dc72a7a * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at 
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/,
  with some modifications.  This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the
  attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package
  using `nix-env -i -A'.  Example:

    $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server
    subversionWithJava  subversion-1.2.3
    subversion          subversion-1.3.2
    subversion14        subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1
    xorg.xorgserver     xorg-server-1.1.0
 2006-07-25 16:40:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5744dd5480 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do, 
e.g.,

  $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver

  The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
  names is unambiguous and much, much faster.

7a3a5d1608 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument. 
Can't be lazy!
 2006-07-24 16:49:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function 
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.

  not necessary.
