Increase schedulingPriority of the bootstrap tools to unblock the
nixpkgs-unstable channel.
The channel is repeatedly blocked by the makeBootstrapTools job for
aarch64. The cause is lack of resources.
By increasing the priority, it should become the first job Hydra would
build, allowing the channel to advance quicker. Of course, it does mean
that while the channel advances, nothing else has been built.
This should be a temporary solution until we have more capacity for
aarch64.
Build the llvm support libraries (libcxx, libcxxabi) from scratch
without using the existing llvm libraries. This is the same spirit and
similar implementation as the "useLLVM" bootstrap in llvm package
sets. Critically it avoids having libcxxabi provided by the cc-wrapper
when building libcxx, which otherwise results in two libcxxabi
instances.

Additionally move some utilities (clang, binutils, coreutils, gnugrep)
to the stage layers so they can be replaced before the final
stdenv. This should cause most of stage4 to be built from the
toolchain assembled as of stage3 instead of the bootstrap toolchain.
This new version has tapi support, which is needed to build the new
stubs based libSystem, etc. and Big Sur support.
You can verify the provenance of these yourself by checking Hydra here:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/128192471
This adds -frandom-seed to each compiler invocation in stdenv. The
object here is to make the compierl invocations produce the same output
every time they are called (for the same derivation). When the
-frandom-seed option is not set the compiler will use a combination of
random numbers (in GCC's case from /dev/urandom) and the durrent time to
produce a "random" input per file. This can (among other things) lead to
different ordering of symbols in the produced object files.
For reason of reproducibility we prefer having the same derivation
produce the exact same outputs. This is not a silver bullet but one way
to tame the compiler.
I made a mistake merge. Reverting it in c778945806 undid the state
on master, but now I realize it crippled the git merge mechanism.
As the merge contained a mix of commits from `master..staging-next`
and other commits from `staging-next..staging`, it got the
`staging-next` branch into a state that was difficult to recover.
I reconstructed the "desired" state of staging-next tree by:
- checking out the last commit of the problematic range: 4effe769e2
- `git rebase -i --preserve-merges a8a018ddc0` - dropping the mistaken
merge commit and its revert from that range (while keeping
reapplication from 4effe769e2)
- merging the last unaffected staging-next commit (803ca85c20)
- fortunately no other commits have been pushed to staging-next yet
- applying a diff on staging-next to get it into that state
This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
The Rust `cc` crate started running `xcrun` when SDKROOT is defined:
a970b0ab0b
Consequently, building crates that use newer versions of the `cc`
crate fail, because xcrun is not available in pure build environments.
This provides consistency with the pure stdenv, which provides
patchelf this way. Native stdenv can always just manually install
patchelf on their system, but like xz, it’s unlikely to be provided in
/usr/bin/. In addition, it’s not even in the RHEL7 repos.
This introduces the .inputDerivation attribute on all derivations
created with mkDerivation. This is another derivation that can always
build successfully and whose runtime dependencies are the build time
dependencies of the original derivation.
This allows easy building and distributing of all derivations needed to
enter a nix-shell with
nix-build shell.nix -A inputDerivation
Update gnu-config (config.sub, config.guess) to suport the Genode
platform and apply the updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsHook to Genode
cross-compilation.
