Eelco Dolstra c089738bdc * Use the shadow' package instead of pwdutils', `pam_login' and
`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
  equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
  `nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
  The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
  `security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

Eelco Dolstra ad93acc295 * Make all Upstart jobs shut down on the `starting shutdown' event.
This ensures that they're gone by the time the shutdown job runs, so
  it doesn't have to stop them itself.
* Don't respawn tasks, as it doesn't seem useful (if they fail they're
  likely to fail again if they're restarted).

Eelco Dolstra dc49a0ce3f * Don't use klibc in the initrd. It's simpler (and slightly smaller)
to use the standard (coreutils) tools.
* Use util-linux's `switch_root' to switch over to the target root
  FS.  It automatically moves over the /dev, /proc and /sys from stage
  1, so stage 2 doesn't need to set them up again.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 33ed225a84 Making the /dev and /dev/shm tmpfs sizes configurable.
By default, they take the usual value of "50% of physical RAM".

As /dev/shm can be filled by anyone, and tmpfs does not trigger the OOM killer (and
can hang the machine due to a lack of RAM), I need to configure that down
in order to avoid crashes.

There is still left the /var/run/nscd tmpfs filesystem, also created with 50%
of the RAM, but at least not writeable by anyone. We could find a reasonable
low value for that, or allow configuration.

Marc Weber fdc63c54e4 enhance phpIni documentation
readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)

Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

Eelco Dolstra c9e4b46d48 * Ugly hack: for CIFS mounts, retry the mount a few times (just as in
pkgs/build-support/vm).  This should make the NixOS regression tests
  more robust on heavily loaded systems, where they now frequently
  fail:

  server# mounting //10.0.2.4/qemu on /hostfs...
  server# [    8.233991] Slow work thread pool: Starting up
  server# [    8.234721] Slow work thread pool: Ready
  server# [   23.271708]  CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 1
  server# [   23.272443]  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
  server# mount: Host is down
  server# [   23.275188] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

  Maybe there is a configurable timeout somewhere, which would be much
  nicer...

Eelco Dolstra 170331be30 * Don't use /hostfs to signal the test driver that a VM is up, but
write some magic string to ttyS0.  This removes the dependency on
  having a CIFS mount.
* Use a thread to process the stdout/stderr of each QEMU instance.
* Add a kernel command line parameter "stage1panic" to tell stage 1 to
  panic if an error occurs.  This is faster than waiting until
  connect() times out.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 483ee6219e Fixing the shutdown script, for the not-that-strange case of having
/nix bind mounted from a fs not rootfs.

As niksnut found, if the sources of bind mounted directories are
umounted before remounting them as "ro", a "mount -o remount,ro" on the
bind targets will not leave the filesystem properly umounted, the same
way as a "-o remount,ro" would do on a usual filesystem.

So, the trick of always remounting as 'ro' before attempting an umount seems
to fix the problem.

Eelco Dolstra 8d588424d2 * switch-to-configuration: force a reinstallation of GRUB whenever the
GRUB version changes.  (That's the complete version from the name
  attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.)  The current
  version is recorded in /boot/grub/version.  This is required to
  prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
  boot.loader.grub.version to "2".
