This module implements a significant refactoring in grsecurity
configuration for NixOS, making it far more usable by default and much
easier to configure.
- New security.grsecurity NixOS attributes.
- All grsec kernels supported
- Allows default 'auto' grsec configuration, or custom config
- Supports custom kernel options through kernelExtraConfig
- Defaults to high-security - user must choose kernel, server/desktop
mode, and any virtualisation software. That's all.
- kptr_restrict is fixed under grsecurity (it's unwriteable)
- grsecurity patch creation is now significantly abstracted
- only need revision, version, and SHA1
- kernel version requirements are asserted for sanity
- built kernels can have the uname specify the exact grsec version
for development or bug reports. Off by default (requires
`security.grsecurity.config.verboseVersion = true;`)
- grsecurity sysctl support
- By default, disabled.
- For people who enable it, NixOS deploys a 'grsec-lock' systemd
service which runs at startup. You are expected to configure sysctl
through NixOS like you regularly would, which will occur before the
service is started. As a result, changing sysctl settings requires
a reboot.
- New default group: 'grsecurity'
- Root is a member by default
- GRKERNSEC_PROC_GID is implicitly set to the 'grsecurity' GID,
making it possible to easily add users to this group for /proc
access
- AppArmor is now automatically enabled where it wasn't before, despite
implying features.apparmor = true
The most trivial example of enabling grsecurity in your kernel is by
specifying:
security.grsecurity.enable = true;
security.grsecurity.testing = true; # testing 3.13 kernel
security.grsecurity.config.system = "desktop"; # or "server"
This specifies absolutely no virtualisation support. In general, you
probably at least want KVM host support, which is a little more work.
So:
security.grsecurity.enable = true;
security.grsecurity.stable = true; # enable stable 3.2 kernel
security.grsecurity.config = {
system = "server";
priority = "security";
virtualisationConfig = "host";
virtualisationSoftware = "kvm";
hardwareVirtualisation = true;
}
This module has primarily been tested on Hetzner EX40 & VQ7 servers
using NixOps.

- mark llvm34 as broken on darwin (so it doesn't install by default with nix-env)
- don't use our gcc for llvm_34 (might fix the build)
- switch also clang default to 3.3 on darwin (llvm was before)
Lockdep doesn't *really* require the kernel package - just the kernel
sources. It's really a user-space tool just compiled from some portable
code within the kernel, nothing more.

NB: This currently doesn't add a working musl-wrapper around musl-gcc to
allow it to work properly (musl has its own dynamic linker as well as
libc too which must be accounted for). But at the moment it builds fine,
and I plan on working more on it in the future. So lets get it
integrated and building on Hydra.

There are two versions here because beginning with 1.6.0, Boolector has
a more restrictive, unfree license which disallows commercial use.
As a result, Boolector 1.5 is the default 'boolector' expression.

- Vte, add gtk3 support, enable introspection, update to 0.35.90
- Spice-gtk, add gtk3 support
- gtk-vnc, add gtk3 support
- Add libvirt-glib (thanks @bjornfor)
- Add usbredir
- qemu, enable usbredir
- spice-gtk, enable usbredir
- virt-manager, update to 1.0.1
[Bjørn:
* Set namePrefix = "" to preserve package name "virt-manager"
(instead of "python2.7-virt-manager")
* Add dconf to GIO_EXTRA_MODULES to get persistent settings in
virt-manager. Without it:
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
* Add ${gtk3}/share to XDG_DATA_DIRS to unbreak "Take Screenshot"
feature (fixes "Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed")
* gtk-vnc: don't pull "pkgs" attrset for optionalString, use stdenv.lib.optionalString instead.

Lockdep is the kernel's locking validation/debugging tool and has seen
heavy pro-active usage and development. In Linux 3.14, it's now
available directly to userspace for the same purpose. It comes with a
convenient utility to LD_PRELOAD a shared library for validation, or a
user-space API to link to directly.

These are packages for precompiled ARM microcontroller compilers from

[Bjørn: modify commit message (add paragraph).]
