Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,
making the CI check introduced in the previous commit succeed:
nix-build ci -A fmt.check
This is the next step of the of the [implementation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt/issues/153)
of the accepted [RFC 166](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166).
This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).
Merge conflicts caused by this commit can now automatically be resolved while rebasing using the
[auto-rebase script](8616af08d9/maintainers/scripts/auto-rebase).
If you run into any problems regarding any of this, please reach out to the
[formatting team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/formatting/) by

Helps the following situation:
- SSH in initrd is enabled
- NixOS is waiting for a password to be typed at the console (or
provided via cryptsetup-askpass)
- The user logs in via SSH, but instead of running cryptsetup-askpass,
they run "cryptsetup open" directly (because they don't know that
they need to use NixOS's cryptsetup-askpass script, or because they
want to use a non-trivial unlocking method that is not natively
supported by this module)
Currently, in the above situation, NixOS will keep waiting for a
password to be entered even though the device is already unlocked. If
a password is entered, it will print a confusing "already exists"
error and keep asking for the same password.
We can improve on this by simply checking if the device is already
unlocked in our read loop. In this case, we don't need to do anything
other than return from the function and continue booting.
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
Removed patches:
- 0007-Fix-hwdb-paths.patch
The directory we want seems to already be included in the list. Is there
a reason why we want to restrict it further?
- 0010-build-don-t-create-statedir-and-don-t-touch-prefixdi.patch
This patch has little to do with how the meson.build file looks now. The
new patch 0017 is the successor to this one.
- 0015-pkg-config-derive-prefix-from-prefix.patch
This is fixed upstream. We don't need this anymore.
Fixes#228141, which describes an issue where detaching Yubikey during the boot process
causes cryptsetup to write empty passphrase instead of the challenge-response salt stored
on the boot drive.
Since this feature's inception, we've compiled a binary that uses OpenSSL
to perform PBKDF-SHA512 during the extra-utils build. In addition to this
being inefficient, it broke as of 6ea1a2a1be,
which switched the extra-utils derivation to use stdenvNoCC.
For now, I think the path of least resistence is to move the pbkdf-sha512
build to its own derivation, to fix the breakage, as well as improving
the efficiency of the extra-utils build.
(I do believe that at some point, we should revisit this binary -- perhaps
rewriting it -- as Clang even just on its default settings emits more
warnings than you'd want to see in a security-related codebase when
compiling it.)
we can't embed syntactic annotations of this kind in markdown code
blocks without yet another extension. replaceable is rare enough to make
this not much worth it, so we'll go with «thing» instead. the module
system already uses this format for its placeholder names in attrsOf
paths.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
We can make the growfs and makefs binaries conditional because we know
if we'll need them. Also move the cryptsetup generator to the luksroot
so it's not included when not needed.
We drop some generators altogether: systemd-getty-generator because we
don't have getty anyway in stage 1, systemd-system-update-generator
because we don't use that logic in NixOS and
systemd-veritysetup-generator because stage 1 has no veritysetup support
(yet) and if it had, we still wouldn't want to include the generator
unconditionally.
At some point, I'd like to make another attempt at
71f1f4884b ("openssl: stop static binaries referencing libs"), which
was reverted in 195c7da07d. One problem with my previous attempt is
that I moved OpenSSL's libraries to a lib output, but many dependent
packages were hardcoding the out output as the location of the
libraries. This patch fixes every such case I could find in the tree.
It won't have any effect immediately, but will mean these packages
will automatically use an OpenSSL lib output if it is reintroduced in
future.
This patch should cause very few rebuilds, because it shouldn't make
any change at all to most packages I'm touching. The few rebuilds
that are introduced come from when I've changed a package builder not
to use variable names like openssl.out in scripts / substitution
patterns, which would be confusing since they don't hardcode the
output any more.
I started by making the following global replacements:
${pkgs.openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib pkgs.openssl}/lib
${openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib openssl}/lib
Then I removed the ".out" suffix when part of the argument to
lib.makeLibraryPath, since that function uses lib.getLib internally.
Then I fixed up cases where openssl was part of the -L flag to the
compiler/linker, since that unambigously is referring to libraries.
Then I manually investigated and fixed the following packages:
- pycurl
- citrix-workspace
- ppp
- wraith
- unbound
- gambit
- acl2
I'm reasonably confindent in my fixes for all of them.
For acl2, since the openssl library paths are manually provided above
anyway, I don't think openssl is required separately as a build input
at all. Removing it doesn't make a difference to the output size, the
file list, or the closure.
I've tested evaluation with the OfBorg meta checks, to protect against
introducing evaluation failures.
