networkd options are always correct or up to date. This option allows to by
pass type checking. It is also easier to write because examples can be just copy
and paste from manpages.
Networkd units can contain secrets. In future also wireguard vpn will be supported by
networkd. To avoid leakage of private keys, those could be then also put outside
of the /nix/store
Having a writeable /etc/systemd/network also allows to quick fix network issues,
when upgrading `nixos-rebuild switch` would require network on its own (due
updates).
This reverts commit 656cc3acaf because it
causes building the manual to fail:
$ nixos-rebuild build

- most nixos user only require time synchronisation,
while ntpd implements a battery-included ntp server (1,215 LOCs of C-Code vs 64,302)
- timesyncd support ntp server per interface (if configured through dhcp for instance)
- timesyncd is already included in the systemd package, switching to it would
save a little disk space (1,5M)
Using the --force option on GRUB isn't recommended, but there are very
specific instances where it makes sense. One example is installing on a
partitionless disk.
Thanks to @NeQuissimus in a5c1985fef for
updating busybox, which since version 1.25 doesn't allow local variables
outside of functions anymore (which is the desired behaviour).
See the following upstream commit of busybox which is the change that
let's this problem surface:
https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=ef2386b80abfb22ccb697ddbdd4047aacc395c50
So this has been an error I've made on my end in
67223ee205, because I originally had a
function for killing the processes but desired to inline it because it's
only used in one place.
This fixes the boot-stage1 NixOS test.

For some reason, between Linux 4.4.19 and 4.4.20, the atkbd and libps2
kernel modules lost their dependency on i8042 in modules.dep, causing
i8042 not to be included in the initrd. This breaks keyboard in the
initrd, in turn breaking LUKS.
This only happens on the 16.03 branch; on 16.09, it appears i8042 is
pulled into the initrd anyway (through some other dependency,
presumably). But let's include it explicitly.

This makes it easy to specify kernel patches:
boot.kernelPatches = [ pkgs.kernelPatches.ubuntu_fan_4_4 ];
To make the `boot.kernelPatches` option possible, this also makes it
easy to extend and/or modify the kernel packages within a linuxPackages
set. For example:
pkgs.linuxPackages.extend (self: super: {
kernel = super.kernel.override {
kernelPatches = super.kernel.kernelPatches ++ [
pkgs.kernelPatches.ubuntu_fan_4_4
];
};
});
Closes#15095
This fixes two bugs:
* When socket activation is detected, the service itself is added to stop-start list instead of its sockets.
* When service is marked to restart instead of stop (`StopIfChanged = no`) we don't need to restart sockets.
This ensures that most "trivial" derivations used to build NixOS
configurations no longer depend on GCC. For commands that do invoke
gcc, there is runCommandCC.
This is a standard environment that doesn't contain a C/C++
compiler. This is mostly to prevent trivial builders like runCommand
and substituteAll from pulling in gcc for simple configuration changes
on NixOS.
This allows us to define system user targets in addition to the existing
services, timers and sockets.
Furthermore, we add a top-level configuration keyword:

Using "tmpfs" as a script part for system.activationScripts is a bit
misleading since 6efcfe03ae.
We no longer solely mount tmpfs within this script, so using "specialfs"
fits more nicely in terms of naming.
Tested against the "simple" NixOS installer test.

Regression introduced by 79d4636d50.
The mentioned commit moves /run/keys from stage 2 to
boot.specialFileSystems, the latter being remounted during system
activation.
Unfortunately, the specialMount function in the activation script does
this unconditionally and thus will fail if it can't be remounted because
the mount point simply doesn't exist.
We now check the mount point for existance and only remount if it exists
but mkdir + mount it if it doesn't.
Tested against the "simple" NixOS installer test.

When Grub is to be used with UEFI, it is not going to write to any MBR
of any disk. As such, it is safe to use multiple "nodev" device entries
when mirroring the ESP partition to multiple disks.
E.g.:
```
boot.loader.grub = {
enable = true;
version = 2;
zfsSupport = true;
efiSupport = true;
mirroredBoots = [
{ devices = [ "nodev" ]; path = "/boot1"; efiSysMountPoint = "/boot1"; }
{ devices = [ "nodev" ]; path = "/boot2"; efiSysMountPoint = "/boot2"; }
{ devices = [ "nodev" ]; path = "/boot3"; efiSysMountPoint = "/boot3"; }
];
};
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
```
Fixes#18584
All swap device option sets "have" a label, it's just that sometimes it's
undefined. Because we set a `device` attribute when we have a label anyway it's
ok to just check device prefix.
Fixes#18891.
