A mips64el Linux MIPS kernel can execute userspace code using any of
three ABIs:
mips64el-linux-*abin64
mips64el-linux-*abin32
mipsel-linux-*
The first of these is the native 64-bit ABI, and the only ABI with
64-bit pointers; this is sometimes called "n64". The last of these is
the old legacy 32-bit ABI, whose binaries can execute natively on
32-bit MIPS hardware; this is sometimes called "o32".
The second ABI, "n32" is essentially the 64-bit ABI with 32-bit
pointers and address space. Hardware 64-bit integer/floating
arithmetic is still allowed, as well as the much larger mips64
register set and more-efficient calling convention.
Let's enable seccomp filters for all of these. Likewise for big
endian (mips64-linux-*).
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes#6385.
Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.
This ensures correct handling of attrnames with a dot in them and will
not throw errors about illegal attrnames.
Additionally this escapes any attributes containing dots in the JSON
output and adds another field called `attrPath` which contains the
attribute path as a list.
Example output:
```
{
"attr": "hello",
"attrPath": [
"hello"
],
"drvPath": "/nix/store/n204jib73z55cp9s0rmw1c5v5q528j7v-hello-2.12.drv",
"name": "hello-2.12",
"outputs": {
"out": "/nix/store/h59dfk7dwrn7d2csykh9z9xm2miqmrnz-hello-2.12"
},
"system": "x86_64-linux"
}
```
after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the
string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that
compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this
guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as
a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to
be formatted for output.
this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous
semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and
rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups
into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many
places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that
formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol
that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and
inconvient.
This will respect `recurseForDerivations` when iterating over attrsets.
Example expression:
``` nix
{ system ? builtins.currentSystem }:
{
recurseForDerivations = true;
# This should build as it's in the top-level attrset
drvA = derivation {
inherit system;
name = "drvA";
builder = ":";
};
dontRecurse = {
# This shouldn't build as `recurseForDerivations = true;` is not set
# recurseForDerivations = true;
# This should not build
drvB = derivation {
inherit system;
name = "drvA";
builder = ":";
};
};
recurse = {
# This should build
recurseForDerivations = true;
# This should not build
drvC = derivation {
inherit system;
name = "drvC";
builder = ":";
};
};
}
```
The `--git-dir=` must be `.` in some cases (for cached repos that are
"bare" repos in `~/.cache/nix/gitv3`). With this fix we can add
`--git-dir` to each `git`-invokation needed for `nixos-rebuild`.
To demonstrate the problem:
* You need a `git` at 2.33.3 in your $PATH
* An expression like this in a git repository:
``` nix
{
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.foo.x86_64-linux = with nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
runCommand "snens" { } ''
echo ${(builtins.fetchGit ./.).lastModifiedDate} > $out
'';
};
}
```
Now, when instantiating the package via `builtins.getFlake`, it fails on
Nix 2.7 like this:
$ nix-instantiate -E '(builtins.getFlake "'"$(pwd)"'").packages.foo.x86_64-linux'
fatal: unsafe repository ('/nix/store/a7j3125km4h8l0p71q6ssfkxamfh5d61-source' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /nix/store/a7j3125km4h8l0p71q6ssfkxamfh5d61-source
error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
This breaks e.g. `nixops`-deployments using flakes with similar
expressions as shown above.
The cause for this is that `git(1)` tries to find the highest
`.git`-directory in the directory tree and if it finds a such a
directory, but with another owning user (root vs. the user who evaluates
the expression), it fails as above. This was changed recently to fix
CVE-2022-24765[1].
By explicitly specifying `--git-dir`, Git assumes to be in the top-level
directory and doesn't attempt to look for a `.git`-directory in the
parent directories and thus the code-path leading to said error is never
reached.
