2013-09-02 Only show trace messages when tracing is enabledEelco Dolstra1-4/+3
2013-09-02 Add an option to limit the log output of buildersEelco Dolstra3-0/+19
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.
2013-08-26 Simplify inherited attribute handlingShea Levy5-38/+21
This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets) by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member. As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-08-26 Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manualIvan Kozik6-7/+7
2013-08-26 Fix personality switching from x86_64 to i686Gergely Risko1-1/+6
On Linux, Nix can build i686 packages even on x86_64 systems. It's not enough to recognize this situation by settings.thisSystem, we also have to consult uname(). E.g. we can be running on a i686 Debian with an amd64 kernel. In that situation settings.thisSystem is i686-linux, but we still need to change personality to i686 to make builds consistent.
2013-08-19 Store Nix integers as longsEelco Dolstra9-23/+25
So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.

2013-08-07 Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the clientEelco Dolstra8-4/+88
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
2013-08-06 Remove obsolete reference to ATermsEelco Dolstra1-3/+3

2013-08-02 Let the ordering operators also work on stringsEelco Dolstra1-3/+6
E.g. ‘"foo" < "bar"’ now works.
2013-08-02 Add comparison operators ‘<’, ‘<=’, ‘>’ and ‘>=’Eelco Dolstra2-0/+7
2013-08-02 Add integer ‘-’, ‘*’ and ‘/’ operatorsEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
2013-08-02 Add a unary integer negation operatorEelco Dolstra1-2/+4
This allows saying "-1" instead of "builtins.sub 0 1".
2013-08-02 Overload the ‘+’ operator to support integer additionEelco Dolstra1-11/+19
2013-07-31 Make Env smallerEelco Dolstra2-21/+23
Commit 20866a7031ca823055a221653b77986faa167329 added a ‘withAttrs’ field to Env, which is annoying because it makes every Env structure bigger and we allocate millions of them. E.g. NixOS evaluation took 18 MiB more. So this commit squeezes ‘withAttrs’ into values[0]. Probably should use a union...

2013-07-31 Delay evaulation of `with` attrs until a variable lookup needs themShea Levy2-7/+13
Evaluation of attribute sets is strict in the attribute names, which means immediate evaluation of `with` attribute sets rules out some potentially interesting use cases (e.g. where the attribute names of one set depend in some way on another but we want to bring those names into scope for some values in the second set). The major example of this is overridable self-referential package sets (e.g. all-packages.nix). With immediate `with` evaluation, the only options for such sets are to either make them non-recursive and explicitly use the name of the overridden set in non-overridden one every time you want to reference another package, or make the set recursive and use the `__overrides` hack. As shown in the test case that comes with this commit, though, delayed `with` evaluation allows a nicer third alternative. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-07-30 Detect stack overflowsEelco Dolstra3-1/+80
Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself. Now it prints: error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion) This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux. Fixes #35.
2013-07-30 killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on AppleShea Levy1-0/+13
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.

2013-07-18 Revert "build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally"Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
This reverts commit 69b8f9980f39c14a59365a188b300a34d625a2cd. The timeout should be enforced remotely. Otherwise, if the garbage collector is running either locally or remotely, if will block the build or closure copying for some time. If the garbage collector takes too long, the build may time out, which is not what we want. Also, on heavily loaded systems, copying large paths to and from the remote machine can take a long time, also potentially resulting in a timeout.
2013-07-15 Allow bind-mounting regular files into the chrootShea Levy1-1/+9
mount(2) with MS_BIND allows mounting a regular file on top of a regular file, so there's no reason to only bind directories. This allows finer control over just which files are and aren't included in the chroot without having to build symlink trees or the like. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-07-12 Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarilyEelco Dolstra4-45/+53
Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-07-07 Leave `HAVE_HUP_NOTIFICATION' undefined on GNU/Hurd.Ludovic Courtès1-2/+7
2013-06-20 Don't set $preferLocalBuild and $requiredSystemFeatures in buildersEelco Dolstra2-8/+15
With C++ std::map, doing a comparison like ‘map["foo"] == ...’ has the side-effect of adding a mapping from "foo" to the empty string if "foo" doesn't exist in the map. So we ended up setting some environment variables by accident.
2013-06-20 Don't substitute derivations that have preferLocalBuild setEelco Dolstra3-7/+15
In particular this means that "trivial" derivations such as writeText are not substituted, reducing the number of GET requests to the binary cache by about 200 on a typical NixOS configuration.
2013-06-20 Increase SQLite's auto-checkpoint intervalEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Common operations like instantiating a NixOS system config no longer fitted in 8192 pages, leading to more fsyncs. So increase this limit.
2013-06-20 Disable the copy-from-other-stores substituterEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
This substituter basically cannot work reliably since we switched to SQLite, since SQLite databases may need write access to open them even just for reading (and in WAL mode they always do).
2013-06-20 Don't keep "disabled" substituters runningEelco Dolstra3-2/+28
For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries to those substituters.
2013-06-13 Allow hard links between the outputs of a derivationEelco Dolstra3-9/+20
2013-06-13 Fix a security bug in hash rewritingEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
Before calling dumpPath(), we have to make sure the files are owned by the build user. Otherwise, the build could contain a hard link to (say) /etc/shadow, which would then be read by the daemon and rewritten as a world-readable file. This only affects systems that don't have hard link restrictions enabled.
2013-06-13 Fix assertion failure in canonicalisePathMetaData() after hash rewritingEelco Dolstra1-2/+9
The assertion in canonicalisePathMetaData() failed because the ownership of the path already changed due to the hash rewriting. The solution is not to check the ownership of rewritten paths. Issue #122.
2013-06-13 computeFSClosure: Only process the missing/corrupt pathsEelco Dolstra1-11/+17
Issue #122.
2013-06-13 In repair mode, update the hash of rebuilt pathsEelco Dolstra2-4/+5
Otherwise subsequent invocations of "--repair" will keep rebuilding the path. This only happens if the path content differs between builds (e.g. due to timestamps).
2013-06-12 nix-daemon: Trust options like binary-caches when the client is rootEelco Dolstra1-5/+7
Fixes #127.

2013-06-07 Buffer reads from the substituterEelco Dolstra2-10/+27

Fixes #118.
2013-05-16 Show function names in error messagesEelco Dolstra5-8/+43
Functions in Nix are anonymous, but if they're assigned to a variable/attribute, we can use the variable/attribute name in error messages, e.g. while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25': ...

2013-05-10 In trace messages, don't print the output pathEelco Dolstra1-19/+15
This doesn't work if there is no output named "out". Hydra didn't use it anyway.

2013-05-09 build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locallyEelco Dolstra1-3/+1
Don't pass --timeout / --max-silent-time to the remote builder. Instead, let the local Nix process terminate the build if it exceeds a timeout. The remote builder will be killed as a side-effect. This gives better error reporting (since the timeout message from the remote side wasn't properly propagated) and handles non-Nix problems like SSH hangs.
2013-05-01 Don't let stderr writes in substituters cause a deadlockEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
