`--enable-deterministic-archives` is a GNU specific strip flag and
causes other strip implementations (for example LLVM's, see #138013)
to fail. Since strip failures are ignored, this means that stripping
doesn't work at all in certain situation (causing unnecessary
dependencies etc.).
To fix this, no longer pass `--enable-deterministic-archives`
unconditionally, but instead add it in a GNU binutils specific strip
wrapper only.
`commonStripFlags` was only used for this flag, so we can remove
it altogether.
Future work could be to make a generic strip wrapper, with support for
nix-support/strip-flags-{before,after} and NIX_STRIP_FLAGS_{BEFORE,AFTER}.
This possibly overkill and unnecessary though -- also with the
additional challenge of incorporating the darwin strip wrapper somehow.
Patch every `derivation` call in the bootsrap process to add it a
conditional `__contentAddressed` parameter.
That way, passing `contentAddressedByDefault` means that the entire
build closure of a system can be content addressed
Increase schedulingPriority of the bootstrap tools to unblock the
nixpkgs-unstable channel.
The channel is repeatedly blocked by the makeBootstrapTools job for
aarch64. The cause is lack of resources.
By increasing the priority, it should become the first job Hydra would
build, allowing the channel to advance quicker. Of course, it does mean
that while the channel advances, nothing else has been built.
This should be a temporary solution until we have more capacity for
aarch64.
The dynamic loader on powerpc64 is called ld64.so.2 rather than
ld-linux.so.*, and was not matched by the existing pattern.
We reuse the dynamicLinker name from binutils to match a wider set
of platforms and to avoid specifying this information in two places.
These files never existed, so best to not leave the reference. If
someone want to step up to maintain this, that would be fine. I don’t
have the hardware to test these out. In addition, someone tried to use
the bootstrap-tools currently built by Hydra and found that they were
broken in some unclear way.
The linker scripts no longer contain store paths, so this does nothing. More
importantly, libpthread.so is not longer a linker script on ARM, so the patching
would corrupt it.
There's a generated header that got comment about the source header
from glibc.dev, which added unwanted runtime dependency. Tested:
nix build -f pkgs/top-level/release.nix stdenvBootstrapTools.{aarch64,i686,x86_64}-linux.test
Apparently this option trades compression time for size,
and explicitly does so without increasing resources needed in decomp.
Doesn't make tarball creation unbearable, so add it to options!
crossOverlays only apply to the packages being built, not the build
packages. It is useful when you don’t care what is used to build your
packages, just what is being built. The idea relies heavily on the
cross compiling infrastructure. Using this implies that we need to
create a cross stdenv.
Since gcc.lib/lib64 is a symlink to 'lib', the use of
"lib*/libgcc_s.so*" triggered a warning (error) with
the latest coreutils. Essentially we were doing:
$ cp a/x b/x y/
And latest coreutils rejects such invocations.
Just copy from 'lib', lib64 is a link to it anyway.
* Nothing else in this file bothers looking at lib*
* AFAICT lib* only ever possibly matched lib64 anyway
02c09e0171 (NixOS/nixpkgs#44558) was reverted in
c981787db9 but, as it turns out, it fixed an issue
I didn't know about at the time: the values of `propagateDoc` options were
(and now again are) inconsistent with the underlying things those wrappers wrap
(see NixOS/nixpkgs#46119), which was (and now is) likely to produce more instances
of NixOS/nixpkgs#43547, if not now, then eventually as stdenv changes.
This patch (which is a simplified version of the original reverted patch) is the
simplest solution to this whole thing: it forces wrappers to directly inspect the
outputs of the things they are wrapping instead of making stdenv guess the correct
values.
This reverts commit a809fdc8e1 and then
achieves the same result (not rebuilding texinfo three times)
but without dragging bootstrap tools into the closure.
As in:
$ nix eval -f . bash
Also remove the glibc propagation inherit that made these necessary,
stages handle propagating libc themselves (apparently) and
AFAICT no hashes are changed as a result of this.
Since at least d7bddc27b2, we've had a
situation where one should depend on:
- `stdenv.cc.bintools`: for executables at build time
- `libbfd` or `libiberty`: for those libraries
- `targetPackages.cc.bintools`: for exectuables at *run* time
- `binutils`: only for specifically GNU Binutils's executables,
regardless of the host platform, at run time.
and that commit cleaned up this usage to reflect that. This PR flips the
switch so that:
- `binutils` is indeed unconditionally GNU Binutils
- `binutils-raw`, which previously served that role, is gone.
so that the correct usage will be enforced going forward and everything
is simple.
N.B. In a few cases `binutils-unwrapped` (which before and now was
unconditionally actual GNU binutils), rather than `binutils` was used to
replace old `binutils-raw` as it is friendly towards some cross
compilation usage by avoiding a reference to the next bootstrapping
change.
Resolved the following conflicts (by carefully applying patches from the both
branches since the fork point):
pkgs/development/libraries/epoxy/default.nix
pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/3.x.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/asgiref/default.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/daphne/default.nix
pkgs/os-specific/linux/systemd/default.nix
We go out of our way (see top of file) to build a single binary
with symlinks for all of the tools, but were losing them
when preparing the bootstrap tools.
For the cc of the intermediate stages, to be precise. Doing the same for
bintools requires lots of refactoring.
This is mainly for the future extensibility as now you can change
documentation generation with impunity without rebuilding the
whole of stdenv.
Existing "mips64el" should be "mipsel".
This is just the barest minimum so that nixpkgs can recognize them as
systems - although required for building individual derivations onto
MIPS boards, it is not sufficient if you want to actually build nixos on
those targets
Aarch64 tools tested briefly with qemu-aarch64,
but neither have been actually used yet :).
For now only "host" indirectly via binary cache
at cache.allvm.org.
cc-wrapper may wrap a cc-compiler, but it doesn't need one to build
itself. (c.f. expand-response-params is a separate derivation.) This
helps avoid cycles on the cross stuff, in addition to removing a
useless dependency edge.
I could have been super careful with overrides in the stdenv to avoid
the mass rebuild, but I don't think it's worth it.
This is needed when cross-compiling for iOS (Aarch64 + Darwin). I also
changed the syntax of the Linux stdenv for visual consistency, though
that has no effect on semantics as the os is already guaranteed to be
Linux.
This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
- Don't build with libsigsegv by default. The build apparently attempted
to link against it, but it never retained the reference anyway...
- Side effect: stdenv bootstrapping needs no libsigsegv anymore.
- Run checks, but only in the interactive gawk by default on Linux,
so that stdenv bootstrap isn't slowed down (by glibc locales, etc.).
- xz should be no longer needed in inputs, as we have it in stdenvs now.
The whole change was triggered by some used kernel versions still
breaking libsigsegv tests #28464.
This reverts commit eeabf85780.
This change suddenly makes tons of stdenv internals visible in
nativeBuildInputs of every derivation, which doesn't seem desirable.
E.g:
````
nix-repl> hello.nativeBuildInputs
[ «derivation /nix/store/bcfkyf6bhssxd2vzwgzmsbn7b5b9rpxc-patchelf-0.9.drv»
«derivation /nix/store/4wnshnz9wwanpfzcrdd76rri7pyqn9sk-paxctl-0.9.drv»
<< snip 10+ lines >>
«derivation /nix/store/d35pgh1lcg5nm0x28d899pxj30b8c9b2-gcc-wrapper-6.4.0.drv»
]
````
Additionally, instead of pulling them from `setup.sh`, route them via
Nix. This gets us one step closer to making stdenv be a plain attribute
set instead of a derivation.
