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
```
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.
Currently, when building NixOS from a git clone, Nix has to copy
the entire repo at >1GB into the store by default. That is not
necessary and causes a dumping large path message.
If you need the old behaviour for some reason, you will have to
specify it by passing the path to your repo explicitly as the
nixpkgs argument like this:
--arg nixpkgs '{outPath = ./.; revCount = 56789; shortRev = "gfedcba"; }'
The existing callSubTests seems to already have special-cased code to
allow enabling subtests on a single specific system by looking at the
`system` attribute in the test arguments. Replace it with a new version
similar to the callTestOnTheseSystems because:
- It's consistent with the existing functions for creating
system-specific tests (though admittedly, the callSubTests special
case for `system` predates them)
- This approach allows limiting to multiple system types, the previous
one inherently allows only one system type.
- This also fixes the problem that if you pass in e.g.
supportedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ], you end up with a
tests.chromium job that silently runs on x86_64-linux.
- Finally, this causes renames of the jobs like:
tests.chromium -> tests.chromium.x86_64-linux to be consistent with
the rest of the tests.
Currently, even if you pass supportedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ] you
end up with e.g. `nixos.tests.docker` which actually silently runs on
x86_64-linux. Using the new callTestOnTheseSystems fixes that.
As a side-effect, this also causes a rename of
`nixos.tests.docker` -> `nixos.tests.docker.x86_64-linux`, which is IMHO
a good thing since it's makes them consistent with the rest of the
tests.
Lately failing i686 tests like firefox have been blocking channel
releases. We're still building the tests for systems with limited
support but won't delay a channel release if they fail.
Arguably, breaking linux-latest should not block a release. Also, booting
the kernel + basic sanity checking is implicitly exercised by every other
vm test.
- sysctl is new and never succeeded on i686-linux
> cannot stat /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable: No such file or directory
- testing plasma5 on i686 would defeat part of the reason why we ended
supporting i686 (lots of stuff built on Hydra)
We really want to break channel updates whenever we break something like
this, because this actually will hit machines out there and can be very
much annoying (we had broken keymaps a few times which is why I
introduced these tests in the first place).
Just to be sure I don't break channel updates with this commit, I ran
all of the keymap tests and they all succeeded.

This is currently our default display manager, so I'm adding this to the
"tested" job as well to ensure we don't ship broken revisions where X is
most likely not working.
The test uses a custom SLiM theme that's specifically tailored for good
OCR results (mainly white background and black fonts without anything
else), because our default NixOS theme has a very small contrast between
background and fonts in some places.

This reverts commit b806e25d65.
This seems to push Hydra's memory usage out of the roof fail nixos
evaluating with:
Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS
Let's revert this for now. It's not a big deal at all since the
nixpkgs-unstable jobset is still building the packages.
