* Create "full.pem" from selfsigned certificate
* Tell simp_le to create "full.pem"
* Inject service dependency between lighttpd and the generation of certificates
Side note: According to the internet these servers also use the
"full.pem" format: pound, ejabberd, pure-ftpd.
Adds an option `security.lockKernelModules` that, when enabled, disables
kernel module loading once the system reaches its normal operating state.
The rationale for this over simply setting the sysctl knob is to allow
some legitmate kernel module loading to occur; the naive solution breaks
too much to be useful.
The benefit to the user is to help ensure the integrity of the kernel
runtime: only code loaded as part of normal system initialization will be
available in the kernel for the duration of the boot session. This helps
prevent injection of malicious code or unexpected loading of legitimate
but normally unused modules that have exploitable bugs (e.g., DCCP use
after free CVE-2017-6074, n_hldc CVE-2017-2636, XFRM framework
CVE-2017-7184, L2TPv3 CVE-2016-10200).
From an aestethic point of view, enabling this option helps make the
configuration more "declarative".
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/24681
Upstream has decided to make -testing patches private, effectively ceasing
free support for grsecurity/PaX [1]. Consequently, we can no longer
responsibly support grsecurity on NixOS.
This patch turns the kernel and patch expressions into build errors and
adds a warning to the manual, but retains most of the infrastructure, in
an effort to make the transition smoother. For 17.09 all of it should
probably be pruned.

This reduces the time window during which IP addresses are gone during
switch-to-configuration. A complication is that with stopIfChanged =
true, preStop would try to delete the *new* IP addresses rather than
the old one (since the preStop script now runs after the switch to the
new configuration). So we now record the actually configured addresses
in /run/nixos/network/addresses/<interface>. This is more robust in
any case.

Commit 75f131da02 added
`chown 'nginx:nginx' '/var/lib/acme'` to the pre-start script,
but since it doesn't use `chown -R`, it is possible that there
are older existing subdirs (like `acme-challenge`)
that are owned to `root` from before that commit went it.
* The source attribute is mandatory, not optional
* The program attribute is optional
* Move the info about the mandatory attribute first (most important,
IMHO)

Closes #21150
`systemd.hideProcessInformation = true`, would break interactions
requiring polkit arbitration such as initating poweroff/reboot as a
normal user; the polkit daemon cannot be expected to make decisions
about processes that don't exist as far as it is concerned.
systemd-logind lacks the `sys_ptrace` capability and so needs to be part
of the designated proc gid, even though it runs as root.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/20948
Fairly severe, but can be disabled at bootup via
grsec_sysfs_restrict=0. For the NixOS module we ensure that it is
disabled, for systemd compatibility.
Previously, we would only set a default value, on the theory that
`boot.kernelPackages` could be used to sanely configure a custom grsec
kernel. Regrettably, this is not the case and users who expect e.g.,
`boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest` to work will end up
with a non-grsec kernel (this problem has come up twice on the bug
tracker recently).
With this patch, `security.grsecurity.enable = true` implies
`boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_grsec_nixos` and any customization
must be done via package override or by eschewing the module.
Using a custom package set with the NixOS module is no longer
something I wish to support. It's still *possible* but not
advertised. Secondly, the requiredKernelConfig didn't really
do anything (setting kernelPackages to a non-grsec kernel would
just silently let the user boot into a non-grsec setup ...).
Previously, the list of CA certificates was generated with a perl script
which is included in curl. As this script is not very flexible, this commit
refactors the expression to use the python script that Debian uses to
generate their CA certificates from Mozilla's trust store in NSS.
Additionally, an option was added to the cacerts derivation and the
`security.pki` module to blacklist specific CAs.
It looks like the cpu type part of modalias might have changed, my
systems (4.4.20 and 4.7.2) show something like the following:

Update the rngd modalias rule to match this so udev properly has
systemd start rngd.
This reverts commit 1010271c63.
This reverts commit e85e51d41f.
The first commit causes multiple regressions. The second commit tries to
fix the regressions, but does not catch all of them. There are multiple
failing tests, one of which is blocking a package update. That is not
acceptable for a cosmetic patch.
Regression introduced by 1010271c63.
This caused the line after using the loginuid module to be concatenated
with the next line without a newline.
In turn this has caused a lot of the NixOS VM tests to either run very
slowly (because of constantly hitting PAM errors) or simply fail.
I have tested this only with one of the failing NixOS tests.

The generated files in /etc/pam.d/ typically have a lot of empty lines
in them, due to how the generated Nix strings are joined together;
optional elements that are excluded still produce a newline. This patch
changes how the files are generated to create more compact,
human-friendly output files.
The change is basically this, repeated:
- ''
- ${optionalString use_ldap
- "account sufficient ${pam_ldap}/lib/security/pam_ldap.so"}
- ''
+ optionalString use_ldap ''
+ account sufficient ${pam_ldap}/lib/security/pam_ldap.so
+ ''
Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.
That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.
Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.
Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.
Tested:
- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted
A new internal config option `fileSystems.<name>.early` is added to indicate
that the filesystem needs to be loaded very early (i.e. in initrd). They are
transformed to a shell script in `system.build.earlyMountScript` with calls to
an undefined `specialMount` function, which is expected to be caller-specific.
This option is used by stage-1, stage-2 and activation script to set up and
remount those filesystems. Options for them are updated according to systemd
defaults.
