Previously, we would only set a default value, on the theory that
`boot.kernelPackages` could be used to sanely configure a custom grsec
kernel. Regrettably, this is not the case and users who expect e.g.,
`boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest` to work will end up
with a non-grsec kernel (this problem has come up twice on the bug
tracker recently).
With this patch, `security.grsecurity.enable = true` implies
`boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_grsec_nixos` and any customization
must be done via package override or by eschewing the module.
Fixes#20713, though I'm certain nixpkgs contains loads of places
without proper quoting, as (ba)sh unfortunately encourages that.
The only plus side is that most of such problems in nixpkgs aren't
actually security problems but mere annoyance to those who are foolish
enough to use "weird" characters in critical names.
Allows one or more directories to be mounted as a read-only file system.
This makes it convenient to run volatile containers that do not retain
application state.
The configuration { services.openssh.enable = true;
services.openssh.forwardX11 = false; } caused
programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation to be set to false, which was not the
intent. The intent is that programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation should be
automatically enabled if needed or if xauth is already available.

Using a custom package set with the NixOS module is no longer
something I wish to support. It's still *possible* but not
advertised. Secondly, the requiredKernelConfig didn't really
do anything (setting kernelPackages to a non-grsec kernel would
just silently let the user boot into a non-grsec setup ...).
Fix automatic mouse grabbing/releasing when running as a vmware guest.
1. The xf86inputvmmouse is not loaded by default. Add it.
2. InptutDevice sections for which specify a driver are ignored if
AutoAddDevices is enabled (which it is by default). See [1]. Instead use
an InputClass to load the vmmouse driver.

The reason to patch QEMU is that with latest Nix, tests like "printing"
or "misc" fail because they expect the store paths to be owned by uid 0
and gid 0.
Starting with NixOS/nix@5e51ffb1c2, Nix
builds inside of a new user namespace. Unfortunately this also means
that bind-mounted store paths that are part of the derivation's inputs
are no longer owned by uid 0 and gid 0 but by uid 65534 and gid 65534.
This in turn causes things like sudo or cups to fail with errors about
insecure file permissions.
So in order to avoid that, let's make sure the VM always gets files
owned by uid 0 and gid 0 and does a no-op when doing a chmod on a store
path.
In addition, this adds a virtualisation.qemu.program option so that we
can make sure that we only use the patched version if we're *really*
running NixOS VM tests (that is, whenever we have imported
test-instrumentation.nix).
Tested against the "misc" and "printing" tests.

It was lacking the dbus configuration to bind to
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, and it was passing fixed TTY/display
numbers to the X server (see 9be012f0d4).
Using the example before this commit resulted in the following error:
```
error: value is a string while a list was expected, at /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/misc/nix-daemon.nix:349:37
```
* Sync systemd units with upstream. Upstream uses SIGUSR2 instead of SIGHUP
to reload the clamd service.
* Convert freshclam service to a oneshot service activated by a systemd timer.
This way we can make clamd wait for freshclam to finish fetching the virus
database before failing to start if the database doesn't exist yet.
* Fixes console tools to work as expected as they require hardcoded config
file locations.
The old etcd port 4001 is no longer enabled by default in etcd 3.
The new port is 2379 and is officially assigned by IANA.
There were still some services left that expect etcd on port 4001 by default.
This changes the default to 2379 everywhere.
It should not cause problems for users as the etcd by nix does listen on the new port only by default anyway.
This needs to be included for VirtualBox to detect that it needs to start the video driver. "modesetting" is also set in virtualbox-image.nix but this line seems to take precedence over that one (even though the virtualbox-image.nix has a higher override?) This should fix the problems that I and a few others have been having with the .ova files built for nixos.org.
Fixes#20007.
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.
The current default probe config uses the unwrapped fping binary, which
leads to an error because fping must be executed with elevated
permissions.
I fixed this by changing the path to the default binary to the
setuid-wrapped version.
This commit includes two changes:
1. A new `extraConfig` option to allow administrators to set any
vsftpd configuration option that isn't directly supported by this
derivation.
2. Correctly set the `anon_root` vsftpd option to `anonymousUserHome`
In the prestart config of the smokeping service, smokeping is executed
initially. This happens as the user root and writes some files to
$smokepingHome, which can't be overwritten by the smokeping user. This
gives an error message.
I fixed this by moving the chown step after the initial smokeping runs,
so that it also affects the generated files.
The matrix-synapse user has `createHome = true;` which runs before the
`preStart` script, so the home directory will always exist and the block
will never execute.
Also don't include default path to keys in the configuration file,
because synapse will choke if it tries to open them before they
exist (even with `--generate-keys`).
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.

The old version would export two lists to a bash builder and do pairwise
processing on the bash side. In the new version we instead generate a
logic free builder on the Nix side. This is not only conceptually
simpler but reduces the amount of code and intermediate values.
`head -cNUM ... | tr -dc SET` might generate output containing fewer
than NUM characters. Given the limited alphabet, this could result in a
fairly weak passphrase. The construction `tr </dev/urandom | head
-cNUM`, however, is sure to give us the full `NUM`.
The dnsmasq instance run by the xen-bridge.service errorenously
hands out 172.16.0.0 as the netmask over DHCP to the VMs. This
commit removes the option responsible for that from dnsmasq.conf,
so that the proper netmask is inferred by dnsmasq instead.
