Eelco Dolstra a9e6752bbd Include the output name in the GC root link
Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by
nix-build.  For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out",
nothing is appended.  E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation
that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks
"./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.

Eelco Dolstra 56e30e161c In the chroot, make all mounted filesystems private
This is required on systemd, which mounts filesystems as "shared"
subtrees.  Changes to shared trees in a private mount namespace are
propagated to the outside world, which is bad.

Eelco Dolstra 3e89ef597c Optimise concatenating a list to an empty list
More precisely, in concatLists, if all lists except one are empty,
then just return the non-empty list.  This reduces the number of list
element allocations by 32% when evaluating a NixOS system
configuration.

Eelco Dolstra 9c2d63084b Add a primop ‘elemAt’ to get an element from a list 2012-08-13 13:46:42 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 198d0338be Add a primop ‘concatLists’
This can serve as a generic efficient list builder.  For instance, the
function ‘catAttrs’ in Nixpkgs can be rewritten from

  attr: l: fold (s: l: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] ++ l else l) [] l

to

  attr: l: builtins.concatLists (map (s: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] else []) l)

Eelco Dolstra 4ccd48ce24 Add a "filter" primop
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the
"filter" function in Nixpkgs.  As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a
O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more
efficient (i.e. primop) implementation.  Using it gives a ~10% speed
increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations.

Eelco Dolstra 62f72eb9e1 Add some more evaluations stats 2012-08-12 23:41:48 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra e82767910c Add some basic profiling support to the evaluator
Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some
basic profiling in the evaluator.  It will count calls to functions
and primops as well as evaluations of attributes.

For example, to see where evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends
its time:

$ NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 NIX_COUNT_CALLS=1 ./src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system --readonly-mode
...
calls to 39 primops:
    239532 head
    233962 tail
    191252 hasAttr
...
calls to 1595 functions:

Eelco Dolstra b6c989b801 Fix race condition when two processes create a hard link to a file in .links
This is a problem because one process may set the immutable bit before
the second process has created its link.

Eelco Dolstra 73acb8b836 Let build.cc verify the expected hash of a substituter's output
Since SubstitutionGoal::finished() in build.cc computes the hash
anyway, we can prevent the inefficiency of computing the hash twice by
letting the substituter tell Nix about the expected hash, which can
then verify it.

Shea Levy f5954e2d94 prim_import: When importing .drvs, allocate the intermediate attrset on the heap just in case it escapes the stack frame. 2012-07-25 09:30:17 -04:00
Shea Levy b1112bbef1 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation attrset.
The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with
the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output.

I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more):

* Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix)

* Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver
  for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed
  in environment.systemPackages, for example.

* Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an
  input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH
  (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build
  being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this
  feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH
