We currently just use this during the build of a derivation, but there is no
reason we wouldn't want to use it elsewhere, e.g. to check the outputs
of someone else's build after the fact.
Moreover, I like pulling things out of `DerivationBuilder` that are
simple and don't need access to all that state. While
`DerivationBuilder` is unix-only, this refactor also make the code more
portable "for free".
The header is private, at Eelco's request.
It is suppposed to be "post build" not "during the build" after all. Its
location now matches that for the hook case (see elsewhere in
`DerivationdBuildingGoal`).
It was in a try-catch before, and now it isn't, but I believe that it is
impossible for it to throw `BuildError`, which is sufficient for this
code motion to be correct.
This is a nicer separation of concerns --- `DerivationBuilder` just
mounts the extra paths you tell it too, and the outside world is
responsible for making sure those extra paths make sense.
Since the closure only depends on global settings, and not
per-derivation information, we also have the option of moving this up
further and caching it across all local builds. (I only just realized
this after having done this refactor. I am not doing that change at this
time, however.)
Now, `DerivationBuilder` only concerns itself with `finalEnv` and
`extraFiles`, in straightforward unconditional code. All the fancy
desugaring logic is consolidated in `DerivationBuildingGoal`.
We should better share the pulled-out logic with `nix-shell`/`nix
develop`, which would fill in some missing features, arguably fixing
bugs.
I think this is a better separation of concerns. `DerivationBuilder`
doesn't need to to the final, query-heavy details about how these things
are constructed. It just operates on the level of "simple, stupid" files
and environment variables.
As much as I prefer rewriting the parsed rather than unparsed JSON for
elegance, this gets in the way of the separation of concerns that I am
trying to do.
As a practical matter, any rewriting that this did will also be done by
the second round of rewriting that remains below, so removing this code
should have no effect.
This is needed to rearrange include order, but I also think it is a good
thing anyways, as we seek to reduce the use of global settings variables
over time.
Since this goal has no (goal-wide) notion of "wanted outputs" (we're
building the derivation, and thus making all outputs), we should have
`initialOutputs` for all outputs, and if we're missing one that's an
internal error caused by a bug in Nix.
Concretely, `DerivationBuildingGoal::gaveUpOnSubstitution` now clearly
does create `initialOutputs` for all outputs, whereas a few commits ago
that was not obvious, so I feel confident in saying that this invariant
that should be upheld, in fact is upheld.
`scatchOutputs` is initialized for every initial output, so the same
change to it follows for the same reasons.
This is just more honest, since we downcasted it to `LocalStore` in many
places. We had the downcast before because it wasn't needed in the hook
case, just the local building case, but now that `DerivationBuilder` is
separated and just does the building case, we have formalized the
boundary where the single downcast should occur.
No derivation goal type has a notion of variable wanted outputs any
more. They either want them all, or they just care about a single
output, in which case we would just store this information for the one
output in question.
Instead of parsing a structured attrs at some later point, we parsed it
right away when parsing the A-Term format, and likewise serialize it to
`__json = <JSON dump>` when serializing a derivation to A-Term.
The JSON format can directly contain the JSON structured attrs without
so encoding it, so we just do that.
* It is tough to contribute to a project that doesn't use a formatter,
* It is extra hard to contribute to a project which has configured the formatter, but ignores it for some files
* Code formatting makes it harder to hide obscure / weird bugs by accident or on purpose,
Let's rip the bandaid off?
Note that PRs currently in flight should be able to be merged relatively easily by applying `clang-format` to their tip prior to merge.
We’re already allowing `/tmp` anyway, so this should be harmless,
and it fixes a regression in the default configuration caused by
moving the build directories out of `temp-dir`. (For instance, that
broke the Lix `guessOrInventPath.sockets` test.)
Note that removing `/tmp` breaks quite a few builds, so although it may
be a good idea in general it would require work on the Nixpkgs side.

Lix patch: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3500
This changes makes nix detect a machines available cores automatically whenever build-cores is set to 0.
So far, nix simply passed NIX_BUILD_CORES=0 whenever build-cores is set to 0. (only when build-cores is unset it was detecting cores automatically)
The behavior of passing NIX_BUILD_CORES=0 leads to a performance penalty when sourcing nixpkgs' generic builder's `setup.sh`, as setup.sh has to execute `nproc`. This significantly slows down sourcing of setup.sh

error: 'nix' is too short to be a valid store path
which happened because we were now putting the build directory
underneath the store directory.
If a build directory is accessible to other users it is possible to
smuggle data in and out of build directories. Usually this is only
a build purity problem, but in combination with other issues it can
be used to break out of a build sandbox. to prevent this we default
to using a subdirectory of nixStateDir (which is more restrictive).

In the case the deletion fails, we should ensure that the temporary
directory cannot be used for nefarious purposes.

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-????.

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.

It seems obvious that erasing any output paths from pathsInChroot needs
to happen after getPathsInSandbox(), not before.

Clang doesn't like the double indent that is needed for the `if...else`
that is CPP'd away. Adding braces is fine in the `if...else...` case,
and fine as a naked block in the CPP'd away case, and properly-indented
both ways.
This is the utility changes from #9968, which were easier to rebase
first.
I (@Ericson2314) didn't write this code; I just rebased it.
