* add generic x86_32 support
- Add support for i386-i586.
- Add `isx86_32` predicate that can replace most uses of `isi686`.
- `isi686` is reinterpreted to mean "exactly i686 arch, and not say i585 or i386".
- This branch was used to build working i586 kernel running on i586 hardware.
* revert `isi[345]86`, remove dead code
- Remove changes to dead code in `doubles.nix` and `for-meta.nix`.
- Remove `isi[345]86` predicates since other cpu families don't have specific model predicates.
* remove i386-linux since linux not supported on that cpu
Hydra's page showing evaluation errors is about a mile long, showing
buckets of user-friendly errors, like this:
in job ‘seyren.aarch64-linux’:
Package ‘oraclejre-8u191’ in /nix/store/fa9zzkbljkvdavwzirkrr5irg25ymbjl-source/pkgs/development/compilers/oraclejdk/jdk-linux-base.nix:71 has an unfree license (‘unfree’), refusing to evaluate.
a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
{ nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.
b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
{ allowUnfree = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
in job ‘jetbrains.webstorm.x86_64-linux’:

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set

in configuration.nix to override this.
b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
{ allowUnfree = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
This makes it extremely hard to find actual issues in the output. This
patch set makes the output much more condensed in Hydra:

Failed to evaluate dmd-2.081.2: «unsupported»: is not supported on ‘aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu’

Some trivial builders use the name attr to choose the exec name
produced. For example nixos-install,
nixos-install = makeProg {
name = "nixos-install";
src = ./nixos-install.sh;
nix = config.nix.package.out;
path = makeBinPath [ nixos-enter ];
};
When cross compiling, this puts the prog in,
/bin/nixos-install-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
When separateDebugInfo = true & !stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux, we
always gave an error. There is no reason to do this. Instead, just
don’t add separate debug info when we aren’t on Linux.
propagateNativeBuildInputs will end up going in the output derivation.
This case is allowed to end up in references because of that. Sorry
for the disruption!
Fixes#50865
Completely breaks darwin. Every package in the stdenv that has shebangs
in the output will end up with references to bootstrap-tools.
This reverts commit eb7c50a993.
This will make the list much easier to re-use, eg. for `nixosTests`
The drawback is that this approaches makes the
```
nix-build release.nix -A tests.opensmtpd.x86_64-linux
```
command about twice as slow (3s to 6s): it now has to evaluate `nixpkgs`
once for each architecture, instead of just having the hardcoded list of
tests that allowed to say “ok just evaluate for x86_64-linux”.
On the other hand, complete evaluation of `release.nix` should be much
faster because we no longer import `nixpkgs` for each test: testing with
the following command went from 30s to 18s, and that's just for a few
tests.
```
time nix-instantiate --eval --strict nixos/release.nix -A tests.nat
```
I initially wanted to test on the whole `release.nix`, but there are too
many broken tests and it takes too long to eval them all, especially
compared to the fact that the current implementation breaks some setup.
Given developers can just `nix-build nixos/tests/my-test.nix`, it sounds
like an overall win.
Fixes#49071
On ld.gold, we produce broken executables when linking with the Musl
libc. This appears to be a known bug when using ld.gold and Musl. This
thread describes the workaround as enabling PIE when using ld.gold and
Musl:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/05/01/5
By default we don’t enable PIE to avoid breaking things. But in the
Musl case we are breaking things by not enabling PIE. So this adds a
special case for defaultHardeningFlags which keeps the pie hardening
for everything. Any packages that break with PIE can add the pie flag
to disableHardeningFlags array (a no-op for now on anything but Musl).
When strictDeps = true, we don’t want native build inputs to end up in
the output. For instance gcc is a builtin native build input and
should only show up in an output if it is also listed in buildInputs.
/cc @ericson2314
In strictDeps=false, autoPatchshebangs should use
--build (corresponding to PATH) to lookup commands. This restores the
previous behavior of patchshebangs so that we don’t break stuff that
isn’t careful in the buildInputs vs. nativeBuildInputs distinction.
Unfortunately this won’t work under cross compilation.
Rationale
---------
Currently, tests are hard to discover. For instance, someone updating
`dovecot` might not notice that the interaction of `dovecot` with
`opensmtpd` is handled in the `opensmtpd.nix` test.
And even for someone updating `opensmtpd`, it requires manual work to go
check in `nixos/tests` whether there is actually a test, especially
given not so many packages in `nixpkgs` have tests and this is thus most
of the time useless.
Finally, for the reviewer, it is much easier to check that the “Tested
via one or more NixOS test(s)” has been checked if the file modified
already includes the list of relevant tests.
Implementation
--------------
Currently, this commit only adds the metadata in the package. Each
element of the `meta.tests` attribute is a derivation that, when it
builds successfully, means the test has passed (ie. following the same
convention as NixOS tests).
Future Work
-----------
In the future, the tools could be made aware of this `meta.tests`
attribute, and for instance a `--with-tests` could be added to
`nix-build` so that it also builds all the tests. Or a `--without-tests`
to build without all the tests. @Profpatsch described in his NixCon talk
such systems.
Another thing that would help in the future would be the possibility to
reasonably easily have cross-derivation nix tests without the whole
NixOS VM stack. @7c6f434c already proposed such a system.
This RFC currently handles none of these concerns. Only the addition of
`meta.tests` as metadata to be used by maintainers to remember to run
relevant tests.
Uses uname data to find what to set these variables:
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
- CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME
- CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
- CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_VERSION
The isELF function only checks whether ELF is contained within the first
4 bytes of the file, which is a bit fuzzy and will also return
successful if it's a text file starting with ELF, for example:
ELF headers
-----------
Some text here about ELF headers...
So instead, we're now doing a precise match on \x7fELF.

The `unfree` and `unfreeRedistributable` licenses both have `free = false`,
which will trigger the first portion of logic. This removes dead code to
simplify the logic.
As a follow-up, I plan to add an attribute `redistributable = [true|false]`,
which can be used by Hydra to determine whether a given package with a given
license can be included in the channel.
If meta.outputsToInstall is set to include absent outputs, various
tools break including channel updates and nix-env.
grahamc@Morbo> nix-env -i -f . -A elf-header-real
installing 'elf-header'
error: this derivation has bad 'meta.outputsToInstall'
This patch verifies each value in meta.outputsToInstall is a valid
output. It validates this condition only if checkMeta is true.
grahamc@Morbo> nix-build . -A elf-header-real
error: Package ‘elf-header’ in /home/grahamc/projects/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/elf-header/default.nix:36 has invalid meta.outputsToInstall, refusing to evaluate.
The package elf-header has set meta.outputsToInstall to: bin
however elf-header only has the outputs: out
and is missing the following ouputs:
- bin
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
Note, now the nix-env experience is decidedly worse for users who have
checkMeta set to true:
grahamc@Morbo> nix-env -i -f . -A elf-header-real; echo $?
0
though since this is already an issue for unfree, broken, unsupported,
and insecure validity problems I'm not sure we should do something
different here.
a4630c65ca was incorrect in assuming $SHELL would be a path to the
bash derivation. In fact $SHELL will be a path to the bash executable.
Unfortunately this did not fix the original issue. So instead, we just
have to reuse initialPath can be added like PATH is.
Sorry for the inconvenience! I hadn’t thought through the effects of
the last commit.
/cc @copumpkin @ericson2314
To avoid breaking things, we need to make sure SHELL goes into
HOST_PATH. This reflects my changes to patch-shebangs to make it cross
compilation ready. When a script is patched from the Nix store it now
looks to HOST_PATH to get the targeted machine’s executables.
Unfortunately, this only works in native builds.
