EvalState contains a few counters (e.g. nrValues) that increase
quickly enough that they end up being interpreted as pointers by the
garbage collector. Moving it to the heap makes them invisible to the
garbage collector.
This reduces the max RSS doing 100 evaluations of
nixos.tests.firefox.x86_64-linux.drvPath from 455 MiB to 292 MiB.
Note: ideally, allocations would be much further up in the 64-bit
address space to reduce the odds of an integer being misinterpreted as
a pointer. Maybe we can use some linker magic to move the .bss segment
to a higher address.

This makes it possible to build with -DGC_DEBUG.

This reduces the risk of object liveness misdetection. For example,
Glibc has an internal variable "mp_" that often points to a Boehm
object, keeping it alive unnecessarily. Since we don't store any
actual roots in global variables, we can just disable data segment
scanning.
With this, the max RSS doing 100 evaluations of
nixos.tests.firefox.x86_64-linux.drvPath went from 718 MiB to 455 MiB.

This prevents EvalState::resetFileCache() from parsing everything all
over again.

libstore/gc.cc: ignore ESRCH when reading /proc
|
|
If a process disappears between the time /proc/[pid]/maps is opened and
the time it is read, the read() syscall will return ESRCH. This should be ignored.

I'm not sure if curl ever asks for enough data at once
for truncation to occur but better safe than sorry.
|
|
Don't say "download" when we mean "upload".
|
|
Note: this means that for those doing 'curl | sh', you can now pin a
specific version, e.g.
curl https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.0.4/install | sh
https://nixos.org/nix/{install,install.sig} are now just symlinks to
the corresponding files in the latest release directory.

Nix profile & installation: handle set -u installations
|
|
|
|
If the profile is sourced inside a script with `set -u`, the check for
__ETC_PROFILE_NIX_SOURCED and NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE would raise an error.
A simple guard around this check allows the script to operate under
standard environments (where it is fairly reasonable to assume USER
and HOME are set.)

E.g.
nix-build --store ~/my-nix/ -E 'import <nix/fetchurl.nix> { url = https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0nwi996rgq4b914qyx0mv2wq4k80hjac7xilikavagw7kxmn2iiv.nar.xz; sha256 = "0nwi996rgq4b914qyx0mv2wq4k80hjac7xilikavagw7kxmn2iiv"; }'
now runs in 17 MiB (was 70 MiB), while
nix-build --store ~/my-nix/ -E 'import <nix/fetchurl.nix> { url = https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0nwi996rgq4b914qyx0mv2wq4k80hjac7xilikavagw7kxmn2iiv.nar.xz; sha256 = "0d2fxljdih3nc5dqx41hjzic3141ajil94m8kdbpryq569dpsbvb"; unpack = true; }'
runs in 17 MiB (was 346 MiB).

This reduces memory consumption of
nix copy --from https://cache.nixos.org --to ~/my-nix /nix/store/95cwv4q54dc6giaqv6q6p4r02ia2km35-blender-2.79
from 176 MiB to 82 MiB. (The remaining memory is probably due to xz
decompression overhead.)

This reduces memory consumption of
nix copy --from file://... --to ~/my-nix /nix/store/95cwv4q54dc6giaqv6q6p4r02ia2km35-blender-2.79
from 514 MiB to 18 MiB for an uncompressed binary cache, and from 192
MiB to 53 MiB for a bzipped binary cache. It may also be faster
because fetching can happen concurrently with decompression/writing.

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.

Continuation of 97002b684c902dadcd351a67208f9c2a88ff8f8f. This makes
the daemon use constant memory. For example, it reduces the daemon's
maximum RSS on
$ nix copy --from ~/my-nix --to daemon /nix/store/1n7x0yv8vq6zi90hfmian84vdhd04bgp-blender-2.79a
from 264 MiB to 7 MiB.
We now use a TunnelSource to prevent the connection from ending up in
an undefined state if an exception is thrown while the NAR is being
sent.
