Also simplify the Hash API.
Fixes #1437.

Also, don't use lsof on Linux since it's not needed.
Fixes #1328.
|
|
Also, possible fix for #1310 on 32-bit systems.

We need to keep them around for diffoscope.

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

This is primarily to subsume the functionality of the
copy-from-other-stores substituter. For example, in the NixOS
installer, we can now do (assuming we're in the target chroot, and the
Nix store of the installation CD is bind-mounted on /tmp/nix):
$ nix-build ... --option substituters 'local?state=/tmp/nix/var&real=/tmp/nix/store'
However, unlike copy-from-other-stores, this also allows write access
to such a store. One application might be fetching substitutes for
/nix/store in a situation where the user doesn't have sufficient
privileges to create /nix, e.g.:
$ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=/home/alice/nix/var&real=/home/alice/nix/store" nix-build ...
|
|
E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.
|

Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.
This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().
|
|
Necessary for multi-threaded commands like "nix verify-paths".
|
|
Also makes it robust against concurrent deletions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calling a class an API is a bit redundant...
|
|
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.)

Issue #564.

Especially in WAL mode on a highly loaded machine, this is not a good
idea because it results in a WAL file of approximately the same size
ad the database, which apparently cannot be deleted while anybody is
accessing it.

This makes hydra-eval-jobs create roots as regular files. See
1c208f2b7ef8ffb5e6d435d703dad83223a67bd6.
|
|
This means that getting the roots from /nix/var/nix/.../hydra-roots
doesn't need any I/O other than reading the directory.
|
|
|
|
If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store
path. For instance, the existence of the file
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
would cause
/nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
to be a root.
This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink()
call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes
up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more
efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org,
which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots
can take 25 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with
/dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
|
|
|
|
This allows processes waiting for such locks to proceed during the
trash deletion phase of the garbage collector.
|
|
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
|
|
I.e. "nix-store -q --roots" will now show (for example)
/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/result
rather than
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto/53222qsppi12s2hkap8dm2lg8xhhyk6v
|
|
Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now
supported.
