We let DISPLAY (X11) through, so we should let the Wayland equivalents
through as well. Similarly, we let HOME through, so it should be okay
to allow XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (which is needed for connecting to Wayland
with WAYLAND_DISPLAY) through as well. Otherwise graphical
applications will either fall back to X11 (if they support it), or
just not work (if they don't).
This is not really useful on its own, but it does recover the
'infinite recursion' error message for '{ __functor = x: x; } 1', and
is more efficient in conjunction with #3718.
Fixes#5515.
- This change applies to builtins.toXML and inner workings
- Proof of concept:
```nix
let e = builtins.toXML e; in e
```
- Before:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval poc.nix
error: infinite recursion encountered
```
- After:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval poc.nix
error: infinite recursion encountered

These headers are included by the libexpr, libfetchers, libstore
and libutil headers.
Considering that these are vendored sources, Nix should expose them,
as it is not a good idea for reverse dependencies to rely on a
potentially different source that can go out of sync.
When an input follows disappears, we can't just reuse the old lock
file entries since we may be missing some required ones. Refetch the
input when this happens.

For a typical desktop system (~2K packages) we can easily get 100K
entries in RealisationsRefs. Without indices query for RealisationsRefs
requires linear scan.
RealisationsRefs(referrer)
--------------------------
Inefficiency is seen as a 100% CPU load of nix-daemon for the following
scenario:
$ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="1"
# populate RealisationsRefs, build fresh system
$ nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }'
$ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="2"
$ time nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }'
In this case `bash `will be rebuilt a few times and then rest of CPU
time is spent on scanning RealisationsRefs table (about 5 CPU-minutes
on my machine).
Before the change:
$ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above
real 34m3,613s
user 0m5,232s
sys 0m0,758s
Of all this time about 29.5 minutes are taken by nix-daemon's CPU time.
After the change:
$ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above
real 4m50,061s
user 0m5,038s
sys 0m0,677s
Of all this time about 1 minute is taken by nix-daemon's CPU time.
Most of the time is spent polling for non-existent realisations on
cache-nixos.org.
Realisations(outputPath)
------------------------
After running CA system for two weeks I got ~1M entries in Realisations
table. `nix-collect-garbage` became very slow (seemingly 100 path deletions
per second). It happens due to a slow cascading delete from Realisations
triggered by deletion from ValidPaths.
The fix is to add an index on primary key from ValidPaths(id) that
triggers cascading deletions.
Before the change:
$ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G
<interrupted before finish, took too long>
real 23m32.411s
user 17m49.679s
sys 4m50.609s
Most of time was spent in re-scanning Realisations table on each path deletion.
After the change:
$ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G
real 8m43.226s
user 6m16.317s
sys 1m40.188s
Time is spent scanning sqlite indices and in kernel when unlinking directories.
