Commit "patchShebangs: Allow for multiple arguments" 4a1e51f957
removed the check. We don't want to break existing usages so this
introduces it again with a successful exit code.
It's tempting to think patchShebangs supports multiple arguments.
Without this patch it just silently ignores all but the first. Now it
patches the shebangs in all of its arguments.
Fixes: #57695
Creating the timestamp in the patched script's directory has a few
drawbacks:
* if "foo.timestamp" already exists, it will be overwritten
* it requires the directory to be writable
This rare sitation was caught when building zoom-us package:

The worst is that derivation continued and resulted into broken package:

I hope, replacing `grep -q` with `grep` will remove this race condition.
When a package provides both executables and gio modules, it is quite
probable the executables will need those modules. wrapGAppsHook wraps
executables with GIO_EXTRA_MODULES picked up from dependencies
but forgets about the package being built. Let’s add to consideration.
Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/50254
Unless dontWrapGapps is set, the wrap-gapps-hook.sh will currently
wrap all executables (and symbolic links to executables) found under
the target directories: bin and libexec.
As a result, if a symbolic link in a target directory points to an
executable in a target directory, both will get wrapped. This
causes an extra shell/exec when following the symbolic link,
as well as increasing the size of the final executable's environment.
To avoid wrapping a link to an already wrapped executable, this
commit splits the determination of what gets wrapped into two phases:
1. All binaries under the target directories are wrapped and logged
with "Wrapping program ..."
2. All links to executables under the target directories are
identified and checked to see if they reference an executable
under one of the target directories.
If yes, the required wrapping has already been performed on
the associated binary (in phase 1), so no wrapping is done
and "Not wrapping link: ... (already wrapped)" is logged.
If no, the link points at an executable that hasn't been
wrapped, so the link is wrapped and "Wrapping link: ..." is logged.
As an example, the yelp package has a bin directory that contains
an executable "yelp" and a symbolic link "gnome-help" -> "yelp".
Prior to this commit, the bin directory would contain these files
after wrapping:
gnome-help -- wrapper to exec .gnome-help-wrapped
.gnome-help-wrapped -- a symbolic link to yelp
yelp -- wrapper to exec .yelp-wrapped
.yelp-wrapped -- the original yelp binary
After this commit, the bin directory will instead contain:
gnome-help -- a symbolic link to yelp
yelp -- wrapper to exec .yelp-wrapped
.yelp-wrapped -- the original yelp binary
NOTE: The primary motivation for this commit is to avoid obscuring
the fact that two or more paths are simple aliases and expected to
behave identically. It also reduces the likelihood of hitting
limits related to environment variable size.
LIMITATION: The method used above is intended to be conservative
and will still wrap symbolic links to other symbolic links when
the ultimate target is outside of bin or libexec.
This ensures that RPATH entries like "/foo/build/bar" doesn't trigger a
match when TMPDIR is "/build/bar". (I've had this problem with a
prebuilt package.)
If there was no older file than $NIX_BUILD_TOP this would result in a
warning, e.g. with nix-info.
```

```
If the file in question is not a shared object file but an ELF, we
really want to skip the file, because we won't have anything to patch
there.
For example if the file is created via "gcc -c -o foo.o foo.c", we don't
get a segment header and so far autoPatchelf was trying to patch such a
file.
By checking for missing segment headers, we're now no longer going to
attempt patching such a file.

While declaring it as an array doesn't do any harm in our usage, it

This function is useful if autoPatchelf is invoked during some of the
phases of a build and allows to add arbitrary shared objects to the
search path.
So far the same functionality was in autoPatchelf itself, but not
available as a separate function, so when adding shared objects to the
dependency cache one would have to do so manually.
The function also has the --no-recurse flag, which prevents recursing
into subdirectories.

This is to be used with the autoPatchelf command and allows to only
patch a specific file or directory without recursing into
subdirectories.
Apart from being able to run the command in a standalone way, as
detailled in the previous commit this is also needed for the Android SDK
emulator, because according to @svanderburg there are subdirectories we
don't want to patch.
The reason why I didn't use GNU getopt is that it might not be available
on all operating systems and the getopts bash builtin doesn't support
long arguments. Apart from that, the implementation for recognizing the
flag is pretty trivial and it's also using bash builtins only, so if we
want to do something really fancy someday, we can still change it.

If you want to only run autoPatchelf on a specific path and leave
everything else alone, we now have a $dontAutoPatchelf environment
variable, which causes the postFixup hook to not run at all.
The name "dontAutoPatchelf" probably is a bit weird in conjunction with
putting "autoPatchelfHook" in nativeBuildInputs, but unless someone
comes up with a better name I keep it that way because it's consistent
with all the other dontStrip, dontPatchShebangs, dontPatchELF and
whatnot.
A specific example where this is needed is when building the Android SDK
emulator, which contains a few ARM binaries in subdirectories that
should not be patched. If we were to run autoPatchelf on all outputs
unconditionally we'd run into errors because some ARM libraries couldn't
be found.

The autoPatchelf main function which is run against all of the outputs
was pretty much tailored towards this specific setup-hook and was
relying on $prefix to be set globally.
So if you wanted to run autoPatchelf manually - let's say during
buildPhase - you would have needed to run it like this:
prefix=/some/directory autoPatchelf
This is now more intuitive and all you need to do is run the following:
autoPatchelf /some/directory

On Linux the `$TMPDIR` is `/build`. The TMPDIR audit looks for `$TMPDIR`
in the build output, which will then fail with packages like
/buildkite-agent.
This fixes the heuristic to look for `$TMPDIR/` instead.
Completely breaks darwin. Every package in the stdenv that has shebangs
in the output will end up with references to bootstrap-tools.

I originally thought it would just be enough to just check for an INTERP
section in isExecutable, however this would mean that we don't detect
statically linked ELF files, which would break our recent improvement to
gracefully handle those.
In theory, we are only interested in ELF files that have an INTERP
section, so checking for INTERP would be enough. Unfortunately the
isExecutable function is already used outside of autoPatchelfHook, so we
can't easily get rid of it now, so let's actually strive for more
correctness and make isExecutable actually match ELF files that are
executable.
So what we're doing instead now is to check whether either the ELF type
is EXEC *or* we have an INTERP section and if one of them is true we
should have an ELF executable, even if it's statically linked.
Along the way I also set LANG=C for the invocations of readelf, just to
be sure we don't get locale-dependent output.
Tested this with the following command (which contains almost[1] all the
packages using autoPatchelfHook), checking whether we run into any
library-related errors:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. { config.allowUnfree = true; };
runCommand "test-executables" {
drvs = [
anydesk cups-kyodialog3 elasticsearch franz gurobi
masterpdfeditor oracle-instantclient powershell reaper
sourcetrail teamviewer unixODBCDrivers.msodbcsql17 virtlyst
vk-messenger wavebox zoom-us
];
} ("for i in $drvs; do for b in $i/bin/*; do " +
"[ -x \"$b\" ] && timeout 10 \"$b\" || :; done; done")
'
Apart from testing against library-related errors I also compared the
resulting store paths against the ones prior to this commit. Only
anydesk and virtlyst had the same as they didn't have self-references,
everything else differed only because of self-references, except
elasticsearch, which had the following PIE binaries:
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/autoconfig
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/autodetect
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/categorize
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/controller
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/normalize
These binaries were now patched, which is what this commit is all about.

In strictDeps=false, autoPatchshebangs should use
--build (corresponding to PATH) to lookup commands. This restores the
previous behavior of patchshebangs so that we don’t break stuff that
isn’t careful in the buildInputs vs. nativeBuildInputs distinction.
Unfortunately this won’t work under cross compilation.
Usuage: Add breakpointHook to your `buildInputs` like this:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
# ...
buildInputs = [ breakpointHook ];
});
When the build fails as show in this example:
pkgs.hello.overrideAttrs (old: {
buildInputs = [ breakpointHook ];
postPatch = ''
false
'';
});
It will halt execution printing the following message:
build failed in patchPhase with exit code 1
To attach to this build run the following command as root:
cntr attach -t command cntr-/nix/store/ynyb4n82x2r7sldd58pbb405jdqh5f00-hello-2.10
Installing cntr and running the command will provide shell access to the
build sandbox of failed build:
sudo cntr attach -t command cntr-/nix/store/ynyb4n82x2r7sldd58pbb405jdqh5f00-hello-2.10
WARNING: bad ownership on /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root, should be 1000
[nixbld@localhost:/var/lib/cntr]$
At /var/lib/cntr the sandbox filesystem is mounted. All commands and
files of the system are still accessible within the shell.
To execute commands from the sandbox use the `cntr exec` subcommand.
This causes problems for packages built using a bootstrap stdenv,
resulting in references to /bin/sh or even bootstrap-tools. The darwin
stdenv is much stricter about what requisites/references are allowed but
using /bin/sh on linux is also undesirable.
eg. https://hydra.nixos.org/build/81754896
$ nix-build -A xz
$ head -n1 result-bin/bin/xzdiff

This reverts commit f06942327a.
The "maxx" package recursively runs isExecutable on a bunch of files and
since the change to use "readelf" instead of "file" a lot of errors like
this one are printed during build:
readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the
start
While the isExecutable was never meant to be used outside of the
autoPatchelfHook, it's still a good idea to silence the errors because
whenever readelf fails, it clearly indicates that the file in question
is not a valid ELF file.

If the ELF file is not an executable, we do not get a PT_INTERP section,
because after all, it's a *shared* library.
So instead of checking for PT_INTERP (to avoid statically linked
executables) for all ELF files, we add another check to see if it's an
executable and *only* skip it when it is and there's no PT_INTERP.
