Eelco Dolstra 9ba5f09e44 * More tasks that shouldn't be restarted (though they're harmless).

Eelco Dolstra 362d1389d3 * mountall: make the "console output" Upstart stanza do its work. We
were redirecting output to /var/log/upstart/<job>, so it didn't work
  properly.
* mountall-ip-up: send the USR1 signal to the mountall process by
  looking up its PID, rather than doing "pkill -USR1 mountall".  This
  prevents a very subtle race condition where USR1 is delivered to a
  child process of mountall (such as fsck), if pkill sees the child
  just before its execve().  There is actually still a race condition
  because mountall installs its USR1 handler *after* daemonising, so
  mountall-ip-up could accidentally kill mountall.  Should report this
  to upstream.

Eelco Dolstra 2cc8d0363e * Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules to udev's postStart.
It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
  firmware.  Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.

Eelco Dolstra 86d8d62d16 * Allow Upstart jobs to declare that they shouldn't be restarted by
switch-to-configuration.  E.g. the X server shouldn't be restarted
  because that kills all the X clients.

Eelco Dolstra 3495a773f9 * Improved Upstart job handling in switch-to-configuration. It no
longer compares the current configuration to the previous
  configuration, but instead compares the current Upstart state to the
  intended state.  Thus, if the switch script is interrupted, running
  nixos-rebuild again will resume starting/stopping Upstart jobs where
  the previous run left off.

  We determine if an Upstart job has changed by having the pre-start
  script of each Upstart job put a symlink to its .conf file in
  /var/run/upstart-jobs.  So if this symlink differs from the target
  of /etc/init/<job>.conf, then the job has changed.  This also
  prevents multiple restarts of dependent jobs.  E.g., if job B has
  "start on started A" and "stop on stopping A", then restarting A
  will cause B to be restarted, so B shouldn't B restarted a second
  time.

  We only start jobs that are not running if 1) they're tasks that
  have been previously run (like mountall); or 2) they're jobs that
  have a "start on" condition.  This seems a reasonable heuristic.

Eelco Dolstra ee6c9bb998 * Provide two utility functions in Upstart jobs: "ensure JOBNAME"
starts the given job and waits until it's running; "stop_check"

Eelco Dolstra 573877c1ac * Use boot.kernelModules everywhere instead of explicit calls to
modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
  the activation script.  This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
  exists.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell dd6eb81797 Adding /etc/mdadm.conf, with the contents supplied at boot.initrd.mdadmConf.
This allows setting a fixed device name per array, thus ensuring that at boot,
the arrays will always be mounted with the same names. I think this allows
solving the problem of grub getting confused about softraid device names
(prefix and root), if the devices always get the same naming at initrd.

Florian Friesdorf dd8e725d7d copy only cryptsetup deps to stage-1 and test cryptsetup
popt-0.16 and cryptsetup-1.4.1 both generated pkgconfig (in contrast
to older versions). The pkgconfig files (popt.pc and cryptsetup.pc)
contain references into the store that are not removed by patchelf and
stage-1 fails with errors like: "output is not allowed to refer to
path `/nix/store/qccjhn063cfv171rcaxvxh0yk96zf7l2-cryptsetup-1.4.1'".

Now, only the cryptsetup binaries and its dependencies are copied,
determined by ldd. In addition the cryptsetup binary and lvm are
tested after patchelf has adjusted the library paths.

Thanks to Peter Simons and Eelco Dolstra for giving the rights hints.

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing

two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

Eelco Dolstra 7579933824 * Don't mount /dev/cgroup with the "ns" subsystem. If it's mounted,
then every unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) system call causes a new entry to be
  created in /dev/cgroup/<pid>, which is not removed automatically.
  This can cause subsequent calls to unshare() to fail if the PID has
  wrapped around.  Worse, a large number of entries in /dev/cgroup
  causes a very substantial system slowdown: doing 10,000
  fork()/unshare(CLONE_NEWNS)/exit() calls took 21s without the "ns"
  subsystem, but 2m43s with it, and the system slows down permanently
  until the entries in /dev/cgroup are removed (going to a load of > 6
  on my laptop).

  This is particularly important for Nix because its chroot feature
  uses unshare(CLONE_NEWNS).  (http://yellowgrass.org/issue/Nix/219)

Eelco Dolstra 131f3c8e63 * Because cdrom_id now links against libpthread, LD_LIBRARY_PATH must
be set when udevd calls external programs.  (The udev manpage claims
  that udevd passes its own environment variables, but this is not the
  case.)
* Get rid of some udev rule hacks that no longer seem needed.

Eelco Dolstra dff372db3c * Fix evaluation of the luksroot module when luksRoot == null. The
problem is that configuration values below a mkIf are evaluated
  strictly even if the condition is false.  Thus "${luksRoot}" causes
  an evaluation error.  As a workaround, use the empty string instead
  of `null' as the default value.  However, we should really fix the
  laziness of mkIf.  It's likely that NixOS evaluation would be much
  faster if it didn't have to evaluate disabled configuration values.

Eelco Dolstra c4f910f550 * Substitute the path of the system derivation directly in the stage 2
init script.  This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot

  builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
  for compatibility with old configurations.

Eelco Dolstra f729f12e4e Some cleanups in the activation script:
* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
  never makes sense not to have it there.  It no longer needs to be
  declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
  string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

Eelco Dolstra c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

Eelco Dolstra f067d179ab * Create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp in the activation script. The
build hook uses this directory to store temporary GC roots.  (It
  creates it if it doesn't exist, but it's better to do it here as
  well to ensure the right ownership and permissions.)
* Clear /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp and /nix/var/nix/temproots at boot
  time.
