eldritch horrors a5d1f69841 libstore: generatorize protocol serializers
this is cursed. deeply and profoundly cursed. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES
must protocol serializer helpers be applied to temporaries! doing so
will inevitably cause dangling references and cause the entire thing
to crash. we need to do this even so to get rid of boost coroutines,
and likewise to encapsulate the serializers we suffer today at least
a little bit to allow a gradual migration to an actual IPC protocol.

(this isn't a problem that's unique to generators. c++ coroutines in
general cannot safely take references to arbitrary temporaries since
c++ does not have a lifetime system that can make this safe. -sigh-)

eldritch horrors 5271424d14 libstore: remove a sinkToSouce from old daemon protocol
this doesn't have a test because this code path is only reached by
clients that predate 2.4, and we really should not be caring about
those any more right now. even the test suite doesn't, and the few
tests that might care are disabled because they will not even work

eldritch horrors 4ec87742a1 libstore: rewrite the nar parser as a contents generator
this is not completely necessary at this point because the parser right
now already returns a generator to pass through all input data it read,
but the nar parser *was* very lax and would accept nars that weren't in
canonical form (defined as the form dumpPath would return). nar hashing
depends on these things, and as such rewriting the parser now allows us
to reject non-canonical nars that extract to the same store contents as
their canonical counterpart but have different nar hashes despite that.

eldritch horrors 03db4efab9 libstore: turn the NAR parser into a passthrough generator
this will let us turn copyNAR into a generator as well, which in turn is
necessary to turn the users of copyNAR into generators without resorting
to sinkToSource coroutines. currently this uses the SerializingTransform
in all cases, even for copyNAR where it is not necessary. should this be
a performance problem we can easily swap out the transform for one which
does not produce any bytes of its own, but that should not be necessary.

eldritch horrors df8851f286 libutil: rewrite RewritingSink as source
the rewriting sink was just broken. when given a rewrite set that
contained a key that is also a proper infix of another key it was
possible to produce an incorrectly rewritten result if the writer
used the wrong block size. fixing this duplicates rewriteStrings,
to avoid this we'll rewrite rewriteStrings to use RewritingSource
in a new mode that'll allow rewrites we had previously forbidden.

bytes offsets alone would not be sufficient in the general case, only
because computeHashModulo uses a single rewrite could it have worked.

remove a few sinkToSource calls that merely exists to undo the mismatch
caused by not treating subprocess output as a data source to begin with

eldritch horrors 5eec6418de libutil: begin porting serialization to generators
generators are a better basis for serializers than streaming into sinks
as we do currently for many reasons, such as being usable as sources if
one wishes to (without requiring an intermediate sink to serialize full
data sets into memory, or boost coroutines to turn sinks into sources),
composing more naturally (as one can just yield a sub-generator instead
of being forced to wrap entire substreams into clunky functions or even
more clunky custom types to implement operator<< on), allowing wrappers
to transform data with clear ownership semantics (removing the need for
explicit memory allocations and Source wrappers), and many other things

this will be the basis of non-boost coroutines in lix. anything that is
a boost coroutine *should* be representable with a Generator coroutine,
and many things that are not currently boost coroutines but behave much
like one (such as, notably, serializers) should be as well. this allows
us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

eldritch horrors e7517419a6 libmain: better fix for #424, #425
not printing activities at all when no progress information is available
hides *all* progress information from e.g. flake show. this is not ideal
and needs to be fixed, but the fix *still* has problems with flake show:
in multiline mode we will overwrite all useful flake show output as soon
as the progress bar is redrawn. flake show output is also mangled in any
number of other situations (like -v being set), so we should probably be
not too worried about it and fix progress reporting properly another day

eldritch horrors 3dd7d023f4 libmain: don't print empty lines
this most notably affects `nix eval`: if there is no progress bar to be
shown and no activities going on we should not print anything at all. a
progress bar with no activities would print a bunch of terminal escapes
*and a space*, which is not helpful in simple cases like nix eval -E 1.
notably this does *not* affect nix eval called on non-terminal outputs,
but it is slightly confusing nevertheless (and not difficult to avoid).

eldritch horrors e6cd67591b libexpr: rewrite the parser with pegtl instead of flex/bison
this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.

this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.

test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:

  - 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
  - 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
  - equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
    (excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)

more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

into unique_ptrs, with all the associated churn that necessitates. we
might want to change some of these to box_ptrs at some point as well,
but that would be a semantic change that isn't fully appropriate yet.

eldritch horrors dd4a2c1759 libstore: fix http abuses no longer working
while refactoring the curl wrapper we inadvertently broken the immutable
flake protocol, because the immutable flake protocol accumulates headers
across the entire redirect chain instead of using only the headers given
in the final response of the chain. this is a problem because Some Known
Providers Of Flake Infrastructure set rel=immutable link headers only in
the penultimate entry of the redirect chain, and curl does not regard it
as worth returning to us via its response header enumeration mechanisms.

eldritch horrors ed6b3165ea worker: process timeouts first, and exclusively
check goals for timeouts first, and their activity fds only if no
timeout has occurred. checking for timeouts *after* activity sets
us up for assertion failures by running multiple build completion
notifiers, the first of which will kill/reap the the goal process
and consuming the Pid instance. when the second notifier attempts
to do the same it will core dump with an assertion failure in Pid
and take down not only the single goal, but the entire daemon and
all goals it was building. luckily this is rare in practice since
it requires a build to both finish and time out at the same time.

writing a test for this is not feasible due to how much it relies
on scheduling to actually trigger the underlying bug, but on idle
machines it can usually be triggered by running multiple sleeping
builds with timeout set to the sleep duration and `--keep-going`:

    nix-build --timeout 10 --builders '' --keep-going -E '
      with import <nixpkgs> {};
      builtins.genList

having the serializer write into `*conn` is not legal because we are
in a sinkToSource that will be drained by the remote we're connected
to. writing into `*conn` directly can break the framing protocol. it
is unlikely this code was ever run: to protocol it caters to is from
2016(!) and thoroughly untested in-tree, and since it's been present
since nix 2.17 and the 1.18 protocol broken here is nix 2.0 we might
safely assume that daemons older than nix 2.1 are no longer used now

this is the *only* real user of file transfer download completion
callbacks, and a pretty spurious user at that (seeing how nothing
here is even turned on by default and indeed a dependency of path
substitution which *isn't* async, and concurrency-limited). it'll
be a real pain to keep this around, and realistically it would be
a lot better to overhaul substitution in general to be *actually*
async. that requires a proper async framework footing though, and
we don't have anything of the sort, but it's also blocking *that*

if any getEdgesAsync never calls the continuation it receives itself,
only from more derived callbacks running on other threads. calling it
directly would cause the decoupling promise to be awaited immediately
*on the original thread*, completely negating all nice async effects.

eldritch horrors d55b158e24 libutil: make rewriteStrings sound
this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in
derivations, generating scripts for devShells, and some more
places. in all of these transitive replacements are unsound,
and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA
RewriteSink suite), but none for overlapping replacements. a
minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any
of these replacements, the only reason we have not seen this
break yet is probably that rewriteStrings is only called for
store paths and things that look like store paths (and those
should never overlap nor admit such transitive replacements)

only decompress the response once all data has been received (in the

to duplicate decompression logic for these two cases for time being,
but once the curl wrapper has been rewritten to return a real future
or Source we can deduplicate this logic again. the curl wrapper will
have to turn into a proper Source first and use decompression source
logic which also does not currently exist—only decompression *sinks*

don't reimplement header parsing. this was only really needed due to the
ancient github bug we no longer care about, everything else we have done
in custom code can also be done using curl itself. doing this also fixes
possible sources of header smuggling (because the header function didn't
unfold headers and we'd trim them before parsing, which would've made us
read contents of one header as a fully formed header in itself). this is
a slight behavior change because we now honor only the first instance of
a given header where previous behavior was to honor either the last or a
combination of all of them (accept-ranges was logical-or'd by accident).

eldritch horrors 725f5cd358 docs: redo content generation for mdbook and manual
manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).

doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.

This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.
