While declaring it as an array doesn't do any harm in our usage, it
might be a bit confusing when reading the code.

This function is useful if autoPatchelf is invoked during some of the
phases of a build and allows to add arbitrary shared objects to the
search path.
So far the same functionality was in autoPatchelf itself, but not
available as a separate function, so when adding shared objects to the
dependency cache one would have to do so manually.
The function also has the --no-recurse flag, which prevents recursing
into subdirectories.

This is to be used with the autoPatchelf command and allows to only
patch a specific file or directory without recursing into
subdirectories.
Apart from being able to run the command in a standalone way, as
detailled in the previous commit this is also needed for the Android SDK
emulator, because according to @svanderburg there are subdirectories we
don't want to patch.
The reason why I didn't use GNU getopt is that it might not be available
on all operating systems and the getopts bash builtin doesn't support
long arguments. Apart from that, the implementation for recognizing the
flag is pretty trivial and it's also using bash builtins only, so if we
want to do something really fancy someday, we can still change it.

If you want to only run autoPatchelf on a specific path and leave
everything else alone, we now have a $dontAutoPatchelf environment
variable, which causes the postFixup hook to not run at all.
The name "dontAutoPatchelf" probably is a bit weird in conjunction with
putting "autoPatchelfHook" in nativeBuildInputs, but unless someone
comes up with a better name I keep it that way because it's consistent
with all the other dontStrip, dontPatchShebangs, dontPatchELF and
whatnot.
A specific example where this is needed is when building the Android SDK
emulator, which contains a few ARM binaries in subdirectories that
should not be patched. If we were to run autoPatchelf on all outputs
unconditionally we'd run into errors because some ARM libraries couldn't
be found.

The autoPatchelf main function which is run against all of the outputs
was pretty much tailored towards this specific setup-hook and was
relying on $prefix to be set globally.
So if you wanted to run autoPatchelf manually - let's say during
buildPhase - you would have needed to run it like this:
prefix=/some/directory autoPatchelf
This is now more intuitive and all you need to do is run the following:
autoPatchelf /some/directory

This allows to simplify the usage of libredirect inside of nix build
sandboxes. Add "libredirect.hook" to the build inputs to get everything
linked in automaticall. All that's left is to set NIX_REDIRECTS and call
the target program.
Since Nix 2 is now the stable Nix version, we can use closureInfo
which simplifies the Nix database initialisation (size and hash are
included in the "dump").
Pull request #50246 was merged a bit too quickly and it was supposed to
fix libredirect on Darwin. However it still failed on Darwin and this
was missed by the person merging the pull request.
The reason this was failing was that there is no __xstat* on Darwin.
So I'm adding a wrapper for stat() as well as it works on Darwin and it
still doesn't hurt on GNU/Linux.

This is just a sanity check on whether the library correctly wraps the
syscalls and it's using the "true" executable for posix_spawn() and
execv().
The installCheckPhase is not executed if we are cross-compiling, so this
shouldn't break cross-compilation.
One thing I'm not actually sure is whether ${coreutils}/bin/true is
universally available on all the platforms, nor whether all the
functions we use in the test are available, but we can still fix that
after we've found out about that.

This is to make sure we get the correct shared library suffix of the
target platform. While for example on Darwin it would even work with the
hardcoded .so prefix it's IMHO a bit nicer to have the actual native
extension.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@nix.build>
The library can be used also on Darwin using it like this:
NIX_REDIRECTS='foo=bar' \
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=${libredirect}/lib/libredirect.so \
DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 \
some_program
So let's actually not hardcade gcc and add Darwin to meta.platforms.
No other changes seem to be required.

I originally thought it would just be enough to just check for an INTERP
section in isExecutable, however this would mean that we don't detect
statically linked ELF files, which would break our recent improvement to
gracefully handle those.
In theory, we are only interested in ELF files that have an INTERP
section, so checking for INTERP would be enough. Unfortunately the
isExecutable function is already used outside of autoPatchelfHook, so we
can't easily get rid of it now, so let's actually strive for more
correctness and make isExecutable actually match ELF files that are
executable.
So what we're doing instead now is to check whether either the ELF type
is EXEC *or* we have an INTERP section and if one of them is true we
should have an ELF executable, even if it's statically linked.
Along the way I also set LANG=C for the invocations of readelf, just to
be sure we don't get locale-dependent output.
Tested this with the following command (which contains almost[1] all the
packages using autoPatchelfHook), checking whether we run into any
library-related errors:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. { config.allowUnfree = true; };
runCommand "test-executables" {
drvs = [
anydesk cups-kyodialog3 elasticsearch franz gurobi
masterpdfeditor oracle-instantclient powershell reaper
sourcetrail teamviewer unixODBCDrivers.msodbcsql17 virtlyst
vk-messenger wavebox zoom-us
];
} ("for i in $drvs; do for b in $i/bin/*; do " +
"[ -x \"$b\" ] && timeout 10 \"$b\" || :; done; done")
'
Apart from testing against library-related errors I also compared the
resulting store paths against the ones prior to this commit. Only
anydesk and virtlyst had the same as they didn't have self-references,
everything else differed only because of self-references, except
elasticsearch, which had the following PIE binaries:
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/autoconfig
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/autodetect
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/categorize
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/controller
* modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/normalize
These binaries were now patched, which is what this commit is all about.

- respect libc’s incdir and libdir
- make non-unix systems single threaded
- set LIMITS_H_TEST to false for avr
- misc updates to support new libc’s
- use multilib with avr
For threads we want to use:
- posix on unix systems
- win32 on windows
- single on everything else
For avr:
- add library directories for avrlibc
- to disable relro and bind
- avr5 should have precedence over avr3 - otherwise gcc uses the wrong one
Usuage: Add breakpointHook to your `buildInputs` like this:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
# ...
buildInputs = [ breakpointHook ];
});
When the build fails as show in this example:
pkgs.hello.overrideAttrs (old: {
buildInputs = [ breakpointHook ];
postPatch = ''
false
'';
});
It will halt execution printing the following message:
build failed in patchPhase with exit code 1
To attach to this build run the following command as root:
cntr attach -t command cntr-/nix/store/ynyb4n82x2r7sldd58pbb405jdqh5f00-hello-2.10
Installing cntr and running the command will provide shell access to the
build sandbox of failed build:
sudo cntr attach -t command cntr-/nix/store/ynyb4n82x2r7sldd58pbb405jdqh5f00-hello-2.10
WARNING: bad ownership on /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root, should be 1000
[nixbld@localhost:/var/lib/cntr]$
At /var/lib/cntr the sandbox filesystem is mounted. All commands and
files of the system are still accessible within the shell.
To execute commands from the sandbox use the `cntr exec` subcommand.
Bazel computes the default value of output_user_root before parsing the
flag[0]. The computation of the default value involves getting the $USER
from the environment. I don't have that variable when building with
sandbox enabled.
