Back in 2013, update-mime-database started using fdatasync() to write out
its changes after processing each file in /share/mime, with the reasoning
that a corrupted database from an interruption midway would be
problematic for applications[1]. Unfortunately, this caused a
significant regression in the time required to run update-mime-database:
commonly from under a second to half a minute or more.
This delay affects the time required to build system-path on NixOS, when
xdg.mime.enable is true (the default). For example, on one of my systems
system-path builds in ~48 seconds, 45 of which are update-mime-database.
This makes rapidly building new system configurations not fun.
This commit disables the calls to fdatasync(). update-mime-database
checks an environment variable, PKGSYSTEM_ENABLE_FSYNC, to determine
whether it should sync, and we can set this to false. system-path
already only has whatever filesystem commit guarantees that the Nix
builder provides. Furthermore, there is no risk of a failed MIME
database update messing up existing packages, because this is Nix.
(This issue was also reported at and discussed by Debian, Red Hat, and
Gentoo at least.)

As a oneshot service, if the startup failed it would never be attempted again.
This is problematic when peer's addresses require DNS. DNS may not be reliably available at
the time wireguard starts. Converting this to a simple service with Restart
and RestartAfter directives allows the service to be reattempted, but at
the cost of losing the oneshot semantics.

Passwords should not be stored in plain text by default. On existing
installations the next time a users user accounts will automatically
be upgraded from plain to hashed one-by-one as they log in.
With `sshd -t` config validation for SSH is possible. Until now, the
config generated by Nix was applied without any validation (which is
especially a problem for advanced config like `Match` blocks).
When deploying broken ssh config with nixops to a remote machine it gets
even harder to fix the problem due to the broken ssh that makes reverts
with nixops impossible.
This change performs the validation in a Nix build environment by
creating a store path with the config and generating a mocked host key
which seems to be needed for the validation. With a broken config, the
deployment already fails during the build of the derivation.
The original attempt was done in #56345 by adding a submodule for Match
groups to make it harder screwing that up, however that made the module
far more complex and config should be described in an easier way as
described in NixOS/rfcs#42.

All options within geoclue.conf[0] have been made configurable.
Additonally, we can now specify whether or not GeoClue
should ask the agent to authorize an application like so:
```
services.geoclue2.appConfig."redshift" = {
isAllowed = true;
isSystem = true;
};
```

This was a testing oversight that came from #61009 -- I forgot to test
the new traceFormat option with older server versions while I was
working on FDB 6.1.
Since trace_format is only available in 6.1+, emitting it
unconditionally caused older versions of the database fail to start,
reporting an error. We simply gate it behind a version check instead,
and assert the format is always XML on older versions. This avoids the
case where the user has an old version, changes traceFormat willingly,
and then is confused by why it didn't work.

* Don't use `literalExample`, raw Nix values can directly be specified
as an option example which provides support for highlighting in the
manual as well.
* Escape shell args for `extraOptions`: I.e. the `-n` option might be
problematic as a longer notification command might be misinterpreted.
The module installs `zmap` globally and links the config files to
`/etc/zmap`, the default location of config files for zmap.
The package provides pretty much a sensitive default, custom configs can
be created like this:
```
{ lib, ... }:
{
environment.etc."zmap/blacklist.conf" = lib.mkForce {
text = ''
# custom zmap blacklist
0.0.0.0/0
'';
};
}
```
Quite some fixing was needed to get this to work.
Changes in VirtualBox and additions:
- VirtualBox is no longer officially supported on 32-bit hosts so i686-linux is removed from platforms
for VirtualBox and the extension pack. 32-bit additions still work.
- There was a refactoring of kernel module makefiles and two resulting bugs affected us which had to be patched.
These bugs were reported to the bug tracker (see comments near patches).
- The Qt5X11Extras makefile patch broke. Fixed it to apply again, making the libraries logic simpler
and more correct (it just uses a different base path instead of always linking to Qt5X11Extras).
- Added a patch to remove "test1" and "test2" kernel messages due to forgotten debugging code.
- virtualbox-host NixOS module: the VirtualBoxVM executable should be setuid not VirtualBox.
This matches how the official installer sets it up.
- Additions: replaced a for loop for installing kernel modules with just a "make install",
which seems to work without any of the things done in the previous code.
- Additions: The package defined buildCommand which resulted in phases not running, including RUNPATH
stripping in fixupPhase, and installPhase was defined which was not even run. Fixed this by
refactoring using phases. Had to set dontStrip otherwise binaries were broken by stripping.
The libdbus path had to be added later in fixupPhase because it is used via dlopen not directly linked.
- Additions: Added zlib and libc to patchelf, otherwise runtime library errors result from some binaries.
For some reason the missing libc only manifested itself for mount.vboxsf when included in the initrd.
Changes in nixos/tests/virtualbox:
- Update the simple-gui test to send the right keys to start the VM. With VirtualBox 5
it was enough to just send "return", but with 6 the Tools thing may be selected by
default. Send "home" to reliably select Tools, "down" to move to the VM and "return"
to start it.
- Disable the VirtualBox UART by default because it causes a crash due to a regression
in VirtualBox (specific to software virtualization and serial port usage). It can
still be enabled using an option but there is an assert that KVM nested virtualization
is enabled, which works around the problem (see below).
- Add an option to enable nested KVM virtualization, allowing VirtualBox to use hardware
virtualization. This works around the UART problem and also allows using 64-bit
guests, but requires a kernel module parameter.
- Add an option to run 64-bit guests. Tested that the tests pass with that. As mentioned
this requires KVM nested virtualization.
Currently, this uses the somewhat crude method of setting LD_PRELOAD in the
system environment. This works, but should be considered a stepping stone to
a more robust solution.
following up #59148
I forgot the default case of the architectures which do not have minor brothers whose code they can run ("westmere" or any of of AMD)
I was pointed towards a small syntax error in the `nixpkgs.overlays`
documentation. There was a trailing semicolon after the overlay
function.
I also aligned the code a bit better so opening and closing brackets can
be visually matched much better (IMO).

* enable tests
* add hardening options from upstream's
example service
* fix "documentation" setting in service:
either needs to be `unitConfig.Documentation`
(uppercase) or lowercase but not within unitConfig.
Previously, if you, for example, set
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable, but forgot to set
services.xserver.enable, you would get an error message that looked like
this:
error: attribute 'display-manager' missing
Which was not particularly helpful.
Using assertions, we can make this message much better.
The type of ZNC's config option specifies that a configuration like
config.User.paul = null;
should be valid, which is useful for clearing/disabling property sets
like Users and Networks. However until now the config generator
implementation didn't actually cover null values, meaning you'd get an
error like
error: value is null while a set was expected, at /foo.nix:29:10
This fixes the implementation to correcly allow clearing of property
sets.
The kubeconfig provided to the kubernetes-control-plane-online.service
is invalid. However, the apiserver /healthz endpoint can be accessed without auth so it's
simpler to just use curl for that.
The two directories KDB and PTree do not exist before the SKS DB is
build for the first time. If /var/db/sks is empty and the module is
enabled via "services.sks.enable = true;" the following error will
occur:
...-unit-script-sks-db-pre-start[xxx]:
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'KDB/DB_CONFIG': No such file or directory
To avoid this both links have to be created after the DB is build.
Note: Creating the directories manually might be better but the initial
build might be skipped as a result:
unit-script-sks-db-pre-start[xxxxx]: KeyDB directory already exists. Exiting.
unit-script-sks-db-pre-start[xxxxx]: PTree directory already exists. Exiting.
