Drop guessOrInventPathFromFD()
No need to do hacky stuff like that when we already know the original path.

libstore: ensure that temporary directory is always 0o000 before deletion
In the case the deletion fails, we should ensure that the temporary
directory cannot be used for nefarious purposes.

libutil: ensure that `_deletePath` does NOT use absolute paths with dirfds
When calling `_deletePath` with a parent file descriptor, `openat` is
made effective by using relative paths to the directory file descriptor.
To avoid the problem, the signature is changed to resist misuse with an
assert in the prologue of the function.

libstore: ensure that `passAsFile` is created in the original temp dir
This ensures that `passAsFile` data is created inside the expected
temporary build directory by `openat()` from the parent directory file
descriptor.
This avoids a TOCTOU which is part of the attack chain of CVE-????.

libutil: writeFile variant for file descriptors
`writeFile` lose its `sync` boolean flag to make things simpler.
A new `writeFileAndSync` function is created and all call sites are
converted to it.

We now keep around a proper AutoCloseFD around the temporary directory
which we plan to use for openat operations and avoiding the build
directory being swapped out while we are doing something else.

libutil: guess or invent a path from file descriptors

When a PUT is redirected, some of the data can be sent by curl before headers are read. This means the subsequent PUT operation needs to seek back to origin.

Now, both the unit and functional tests relating to derivation options
are tested both ways -- with input addressing and content-addressing
derivations.

Comments go to the end of the line, not merely the next ; *or* \n. Fix

Revert most of "Hack together a fix for the public headers"
- The `libmain` change is kept, and one more libmain change is made.
(Need to update Meson and Nix per the package alike).
- The S3 situation is fixed in a different way: the variable is public
now, used in the header, and fixed accordingly.
- Fix TODO for `HAVE_EMBEDDED_SANDBOX_SHELL`
This reverts commit 2b51250534.
(cherry picked from commit 3294b22a68)
For example, instead of doing
#include "nix/store-config.hh"
#include "nix/derived-path.hh"
Now do
#include "nix/store/config.hh"
#include "nix/store/derived-path.hh"
This was originally planned in the issue, and also recent requested by
Eelco.
Most of the change is purely mechanical. There is just one small
additional issue. See how, in the example above, we took this
opportunity to also turn `<comp>-config.hh` into `<comp>/config.hh`.
Well, there was already a `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`. Even though there
is not a public configuration header for libutil (which also would be
called `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`) that's still confusing, To avoid any
such confusion, we renamed that to `nix/util/configuration.{cc,hh}`.
Finally, note that the libflake headers already did this, so we didn't
need to do anything to them. We wouldn't want to mistakenly get
`nix/flake/flake/flake.hh`!
Progress on #7876
(cherry picked from commit cc24766fa6)
There are two big changes:
1. Public and private config is now separated. Configuration variables
that are only used internally do not go in a header which is
installed.
(Additionally, libutil has a unix-specific private config header,
which should only be used in unix-specific code. This keeps things a
bit more organized, in a purely private implementation-internal way.)
2. Secondly, there is no more `-include`. There are very few config
items that need to be publically exposed, so now it is feasible to
just make the headers that need them just including the (public)
configuration header.
And there are also a few more small cleanups on top of those:
- The configuration files have better names.
- The few CPP variables that remain exposed in the public headers are
now also renamed to always start with `NIX_`. This ensures they should
not conflict with variables defined elsewhere.
- We now always use `#if` and not `#ifdef`/`#ifndef` for our
configuration variables, which helps avoid bugs by requiring that
variables must be defined in all cases.
(cherry picked from commit c204e307ac)
The short answer for why we need to do this is so we can consistently do
`#include "nix/..."`. Without this change, there are ways to still make
that work, but they are hacky, and they have downsides such as making it
harder to make sure headers from the wrong Nix library (e..g.
`libnixexpr` headers in `libnixutil`) aren't being used.
The C API alraedy used `nix_api_*`, so its headers are *not* put in
subdirectories accordingly.
Progress on #7876
We resisted doing this for a while because it would be annoying to not
have the header source file pairs close by / easy to change file
path/name from one to the other. But I am ameliorating that with
symlinks in the next commit.
(cherry picked from commit f3e1c47f47)
- Some headers were completely redundant and have been removed.
- Other headers have been turned private.
- Unnecessary meson.build code has been removed.
- libutil-tests now has a private config header, where previously
it had none. This removes the need to expose a package version
macro publicly.
(cherry picked from commit b86a76044e)
Before the change "illegal reference" was hard to interpret as it did
not mention what derivation actually hits it.
Today's `nixpkgs` example:
Before the change:
$ nix build --no-link -f. postgresql_14
...
error: derivation contains an illegal reference specifier 'man'
After the change:
$ nix build --no-link -f. postgresql_14
...
error: derivation '/nix/store/bxp6g57limvwiga61vdlyvhy7i8rp6wd-postgresql-14.15.drv' output check for 'lib' contains an illegal reference specifier 'man', expected store path or output name (one of [debug, dev, doc, lib, out])
(cherry picked from commit bbdc3197a9)
The bug reappeared after all, and the fix introduced a different bug. We
want to release 2.27 imminently so there is no time to do a proper fix,
which appears to require a larger reworking. Hopefully we will have it
for 2.28, however.
This reverts commit c98525235f.
