Symlinking works for most plugins and themes, but Avada, for instance, fails to
understand the symlink, causing its file path stripping to fail. This results in
requests that look like:
https://example.com/wp-content//nix/store/...plugin/path/some-file.js
Since hard linking directories is not allowed, copying is the next best thing.
slab_nomerge may reduce surface somewhat
slub_debug is used to enable additional sanity checks and "red zones" around
allocations to detect read/writes beyond the allocated area, as well as
poisoning to overwrite free'd data.
The cost is yet more memory fragmentation ...
While at it (see previous commit), using attrNames in combination with
length is a bit verbose for checking whether the filtered attribute set
is empty, so let's just compare it against an empty attribute set.

When generating values for the services.nsd.zones attribute using values
from pkgs, we'll run into an infinite recursion because the nsd module
has a condition on the top-level definition of nixpkgs.config.
While it would work to push the definition a few levels down, it will
still only work if we don't use bind tools for generating zones.
As far as I could see, Python support for BIND seems to be only needed
for the dnssec-* tools, so instead of using nixpkgs.config, we now
directly override pkgs.bind instead of globally in nixpkgs.
To illustrate the problem with a small test case, instantiating the
following Nix expression from the nixpkgs source root will cause the
mentioned infinite recursion:
(import ./nixos {
configuration = { lib, pkgs, ... }: {
services.nsd.enable = true;
services.nsd.zones = import (pkgs.writeText "foo.nix" ''
{ "foo.".data = "xyz";
"foo.".dnssec = true;
}
'');
};
}).vm
With this change, generating zones via import-from-derivation is now
possible again.

This adds a NixOS option for setting the CPU max and min frequencies
with `cpufreq`. The two options that have been added are:
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.max`
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.min`
It also adds an alias to the `powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor` option as
`powerManagement.cpufreq.governor`. This updates the installer to use
the new option name. It also updates the manual with a note about
the new name.
For the hardened profile disable symmetric multi threading. There seems to be
no *proven* method of exploiting cache sharing between threads on the same CPU
core, so this may be considered quite paranoid, considering the perf cost.
SMT can be controlled at runtime, however. This is in keeping with OpenBSD
defaults.
TODO: since SMT is left to be controlled at runtime, changing the option
definition should take effect on system activation. Write to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
For the hardened profile enable flushing whenever the hypervisor enters the
guest, but otherwise leave at kernel default (conditional flushing as of
writing).
Introduces the option security.protectKernelImage that is intended to control
various mitigations to protect the integrity of the running kernel
image (i.e., prevent replacing it without rebooting).
This makes sense as a dedicated module as it is otherwise somewhat difficult
to override for hardened profile users who want e.g., hibernation to work.
The aim is to minimize surprises: when the user explicitly installs a
package in their configuration, it should override any package
implicitly installed by NixOS.
This, paired with the previous commit, ensures the channel won't be held
back from a kernel upgrade and a non-building sd image, while still
having a new-kernel variant available.
This is because it will not eval properly with `hydra-eval-jobs`.
```
$ ...hydra/result/bin/hydra-eval-jobs \
--arg nixpkgs '{ outPath = ./.; revCount = 123; shortRev = "4567"; }' \
-I "$PWD" \
nixos/release-combined.nix
```
It fails with:
```
Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS
```
Use googleOsLogin for login instead.
This allows setting users.mutableUsers back to false, and to strip the
security.sudo.extraConfig.
security.sudo.enable is default anyhow, so we can remove that as well.
The OS Login package enables the following components:
AuthorizedKeysCommand to query valid SSH keys from the user's OS Login
profile during ssh authentication phase.
NSS Module to provide user and group information
PAM Module for the sshd service, providing authorization and
authentication support, allowing the system to use data stored in
Google Cloud IAM permissions to control both, the ability to log into
an instance, and to perform operations as root (sudo).
Having pam_unix set to "sufficient" means early-succeeding account
management group, as soon as pam_unix.so is succeeding.
This is not sufficient. For example, nixos modules might install nss
modules for user lookup, so pam_unix.so succeeds, and we end the stack
successfully, even though other pam account modules might want to do
more extensive checks.
Other distros seem to set pam_unix.so to 'required', so if there are
other pam modules in that management group, they get a chance to do some
validation too.
For SSSD, @PsyanticY already added a workaround knob in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31969, while stating this should
be the default anyway.
I did some thinking in what could break - after this commit, we require
pam_unix to succeed, means we require `getent passwd $username` to
return something.
This is the case for all local users due to the passwd nss module, and
also the case for all modules installing their nss module to
nsswitch.conf - true for ldap (if not explicitly disabled) and sssd.
I'm not so sure about krb5, cc @eqyiel for opinions. Is there some nss
module loaded? Should the pam account module be placed before pam_unix?
We don't drop the `security.pam.services.<name?>.sssdStrictAccess`
option, as it's also used some lines below to tweak error behaviour
inside the pam sssd module itself (by changing it's 'control' field).
This is also required to get admin login for Google OS Login working
(#51566), as their pam_oslogin_admin accounts module takes care of sudo
configuration.
Although the package itself builds fine, the module fails because it
tries to log into a non-existant file in `/var/log` which breaks the
service. Patching to default config to log to stdout by default fixes
the issue. Additionally this is the better solution as NixOS heavily
relies on systemd (and thus journald) for logging.
Also, the runtime relies on `/etc/localtime` to start, as it's not
required by the module system we set UTC as sensitive default when using
the module.
To ensure that the service's basic functionality is available, a simple
NixOS test has been added.
This flag causes the shairport-sync server to attempt to daemonize, but it looks like systemd is already handling that. With the `-d` argument, shairport-sync immediately exits—it seems that something (systemd I'm guessing?) is sending it SIGINT or SIGTERM.
The [upstream systemd unit](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/master/scripts/shairport-sync.service.in#L10) doesn't pass `-d`.
This was previously removed in 74c4e30842.
This will allow hydra to build iso and sd images for aarch64-linux, and
share a common channel with the x86-based platforms.
Since 113a6b9325 the test driver
explicitly ensures if the node names won't break the resulting Perl
script at runtime. This slightly improves the correctness of the error
message.
These names are referenced by Perl variables inside the testing
frameworks which don't allow chars like `-` as character inside. An exemplary
expression may look like this:
```
{
x11-vm = {
services.xserver.enable = true;
};
}
```
This expression evaluates, e.g. when running `nixos-build-vms`, but when
trying to run `./result/bin/nixos-run-vms`, an error like this occurs:
```
starting VDE switch for network 1
running the VM test script
error: Can't modify subtraction (-) in scalar assignment at (eval 17) line 1, at EOF
Bareword "test" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 17) line 1.
Can't modify subtraction (-) in scalar assignment at (eval 17) line 1, at EOF
Bareword "test" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 17) line 1.
vde_switch: EOF on stdin, cleaning up and exiting

```
This can be very confusing for beginners, this change breaks evaluation
if such names are used for machines.
pkgs.owncloud still pointed to owncloud 7.0.15 (from May 13 2016)
Last owncloud server update in nixpkgs was in Jun 2016.
At the same time Nextcloud forked away from it, indicating users
switched over to that.

Systemd provides an option for allocating DynamicUsers
which we want to use in NixOS to harden service configuration.
However, we discovered that the user wasn't allocated properly
for services. After some digging this turned out to be, of course,
a cache inconsistency problem.
When a DynamicUser creation is performed, Systemd check beforehand
whether the requested user already exists statically. If it does,
it bails out. If it doesn't, systemd continues with allocating the
user.
However, by checking whether the user exists, nscd will store
the fact that the user does not exist in it's negative cache.
When the service tries to lookup what user is associated to its
uid (By calling whoami, for example), it will try to consult
libnss_systemd.so However this will read from the cache and tell
report that the user doesn't exist, and thus will return that
there is no user associated with the uid. It will continue
to do so for the cache duration time. If the service
doesn't immediately looks up its username, this bug is not
triggered, as the cache will be invalidated around this time.
However, if the service is quick enough, it might end up
in a situation where it's incorrectly reported that the
user doesn't exist.
Preferably, we would not be using nscd at all. But we need to
use it because glibc reads nss modules from /etc/nsswitch.conf
by looking relative to the global LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Because LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is not set globally (as that would lead to impurities and ABI issues),
glibc will fail to find any nss modules.
Instead, as a hack, we start up nscd with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
for only that service. Glibc will forward all nss syscalls to
nscd, which will then respect the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and only
read from locations specified in the NixOS config.
we can load nss modules in a pure fashion.
However, I think by accident, we just copied over the default
settings of nscd, which actually caches user and group lookups.
We already disable this when sssd is enabled, as this interferes
with the correct working of libnss_sss.so as it already
does its own caching of LDAP requests.
(See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/usingnscd-sssd)
Because nscd caching is now also interferring with libnss_systemd.so
and probably also with other nsss modules, lets just pre-emptively
disable caching for now for all options related to users and groups,
but keep it for caching hosts ans services lookups.
Note that we can not just put in /etc/nscd.conf:
enable-cache passwd no
As this will actually cause glibc to _not_ forward the call to nscd
at all, and thus never reach the nss modules. Instead we set
the negative and positive cache ttls to 0 seconds as a workaround.
This way, Glibc will always forward requests to nscd, but results
will never be cached.
Fixes#50273
Right now it's not at all obvious that one can override this option
using `services.logind.extraConfig`; we might as well add an option
for `killUserProcesses` directly so it's clear and documented.
The intention of the previous change was to move krb5-config to .dev (it
gives the locations of headers), but it grabbed all of the user-facing
binaries too. This puts them back.
Could also move kdc.conf, but this makes it inconvenient to use command line
utilities with heimdal, as it would require specifying --config-file with every
command.
Allow switching out kerberos server implementation.
Sharing config is probably sensible, but implementation is different enough to
be worth splitting into two files. Not sure this is the correct way to split an
implementation, but it works for now.
Uses the switch from config.krb5 to select implementation.
They consistently fail since openjdk bump with some out-of-space errors.
That's not a problem by itself, but each test instance ties a build slot
for many hours and consequently they also delay channels as those wait
for all builds to finish.
Feel free to re-enable when fixed, of course.
The test now runs wayland, which means we can no longer use X11 style testing.
Instead we get gnome shell to execute javascript through its dbus interface.
Since 83b27f60ce, the tests were moved
into all-tests.nix and some of the tooling has changed so that
subattributes of test expressions are now recursively evaluated until a
derivation with a .test attribute has been found.
Unfortunately this isn't the case for all of the tests and the
runInMachine doesn't use the makeTest function other tests are using but
instead uses runInMachine, which doesn't generate a .test attribute.
Whener a .test attribute wasn't found by the new handleTest function, it
recurses down again until there is no value left that is an attribute
set and subsequently returns its unchanged value. This however has the
drawback that instead of getting different attributes for each
architecture we only get the last architecture in the supportedSystems
list.
In the case of the release.nix, the last architecture in
supportedSystems is "aarch64-linux", so the runInMachine test is always
built on that architecture.
In order to work around this, I changed runInMachine to emit a .test
attribute so that it looks to handleTest like it was a test created via
makeTest.

Docker images used to be, essentially, a linked list of layers. Each
layer would have a tarball and a json document pointing to its parent,
and the image pointed to the top layer:
imageA ----> layerA
|
v
layerB
|
v
layerC
The current image spec changed this format to where the Image defined
the order and set of layers:
imageA ---> layerA
|--> layerB
`--> layerC
For backwards compatibility, docker produces images which follow both
specs: layers point to parents, and images also point to the entire
list:
imageA ---> layerA
| |
| v
|--> layerB
| |
| v
`--> layerC
This is nice for tooling which supported the older version and never
updated to support the newer format.
Our `buildImage` code only supported the old version, so in order for
`buildImage` to properly generate an image based on another image
with `fromImage`, the parent image's layers must fully support the old
mechanism.
This is not a problem in general, but is a problem with
`buildLayeredImage`.
`buildLayeredImage` creates images with newer image spec, because
individual store paths don't have a guaranteed parent layer. Including
a specific parent ID in the layer's json makes the output less likely
to cache hit when published or pulled.
This means until now, `buildLayeredImage` could not be the input to
`buildImage`.
The changes in this PR change `buildImage` to only use the layer's
manifest when locating parent IDs. This does break buildImage on
extremely old Docker images, though I do wonder how many of these
exist.

As cassandra start script hardcodes the location of logback
configuration to `CASSANDRA_CONF_DIR/logback.xml` there is no way to
pass an alternate file via `$JVM_OPTS` for example.
Also, without logback configuration DEBUG level is used which is not
necessary for standard usage.
With this commit a default logback configuration is set with log level
INFO.
