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.
By exporting it, we always make the new directories available
to subprocesses, regardless of whether the environment
variable existed before `nix-shell` was invoked.
This avoids the scenario where strictDeps is off and cross-compiled
XDG_DATA_DIRS content is brought into the environment.
While probably harmless for data like manpages and completion scripts,
this would cause issues when XDG_DATA_DIRS is used to find executables
or plugins. The Qt framework is known to behave like this and might
have run into incompatibilities.
XDG_DATA_DIRS is to /share as PATH is to /bin.
It was defined as part of the XDG basedir specification.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
While it originated from the X Desktop Group, it is not limited to
the X11 ecosystem, as evidenced by its use in bash-completion.
The removal of ` && -d "$pkg/bin"` is ok, because this optimization is
already performed by `addToSearchPath`.
The dynamic loader on powerpc64 is called ld64.so.2 rather than
ld-linux.so.*, and was not matched by the existing pattern.
We reuse the dynamicLinker name from binutils to match a wider set
of platforms and to avoid specifying this information in two places.
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
defaultHardeningFlags is set to enable pie for Musl, but is not
actually used because the default is never put into
NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE. That still works for cases other than Musl
only because NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE is defaulted in the binutils and
cc-wrapper setup-hook.sh scripts.
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.
I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
The cross file is added in the `mkDerivation`. It isn't nice putting
build tool-specific stuff here, but our current architecture gives us
little alternative.
Currently it's not possible to determine the reason why a package is
unavailable without evaluating nixpkgs multiple times with different
settings. eg.
nix-repl> :p android-studio.meta
{ available = false; broken = false; unfree = true; unsupported = true; ... }
The following snippet is an example that uses this information to query
the availability information of all packages in nixpkgs, giving an
overview of all the packages currently marked as broken, etc.
{ pkgs }:
with import <nixpkgs/lib>;
let
mapPkgs =
let mapPkgs' = path: f: mapAttrs (n: v:
let result = builtins.tryEval (v ? meta); in
if !result.success then {} else
if isDerivation v then f (path ++ [n]) v else
if isAttrs v && v.recurseForDerivations or false then mapPkgs' (path ++ [n]) f v else
{}
);
in mapPkgs' [];
getMeta = path: drv:
if drv.meta ? available then
let meta = {
pkg = concatStringsSep "." path;
inherit (drv.meta) broken unfree unsupported insecure;
};
in builtins.trace meta.pkg meta
else {};
metaToList = attrs: flatten (map (v: if v ? pkg then v else metaToList v) (attrValues attrs));
in metaToList (mapPkgs getMeta pkgs)
These files never existed, so best to not leave the reference. If
someone want to step up to maintain this, that would be fine. I don’t
have the hardware to test these out. In addition, someone tried to use
the bootstrap-tools currently built by Hydra and found that they were
broken in some unclear way.
The linker scripts no longer contain store paths, so this does nothing. More
importantly, libpthread.so is not longer a linker script on ARM, so the patching
would corrupt it.
There's a generated header that got comment about the source header
from glibc.dev, which added unwanted runtime dependency. Tested:
nix build -f pkgs/top-level/release.nix stdenvBootstrapTools.{aarch64,i686,x86_64}-linux.test
Fixes#21629
Passing these extra linker flags removes both the semi-random uuid
included in most binaries as well as making the sdk version consistent
instead of based on the current os version.

The -macosx_version_min flag isn't strictly necessary since that's
already handled by MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
While looking at the graph of all the outputs in my personal binary
cache it became obvious that we have a lot of self references within the
package set. That isn't an isuse by itself. However it increases the
size of the binary cache for every (reproducible) build of a package
that carries references to itself. You can no longer deduplicate the
outputs since they are all unique. One of the ways to get rid of (a few)
references is to rewrite all the symlinks that are currently used to be
relative symlinks. Two build of something that didn't really change but
carries a self-reference can the be store as the same NAR file again.
I quickly hacked together this change to see if that would yield and
success. My bash scripting skills are probably not great but so far it
seem to somewhat work.
- Replaced python override from the final stdenv, instead we
propagate our bootstrap python to stage4 and override both
CF and xnu to use it.
- Removed CF argument from python interpreters, this is redundant
since it's not overidden anymore.
- Inherit CF from stage4, making it the same as the stdenv.
