Factor a bintools (i.e. binutils / cctools) wrapper out of cc-wrapper. While
only LD is wrapped, the setup hook defines environment variables on behalf of
other utilites.
On non-GNU (gcc) compilers, there is no "/lib/gcc/..."
so when this is eventually expanded this is empty
resulting in an incomplete "-idirafter " that
eats the next argument:
-idirafter -B/nix/store/wamjwwdvkmhbf4f2902nhw8jxxzv0hy3-clang-wrapper-4.0.1/bin/
Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.
If a dynamic linker for target is not found the generated script fails
due to unbound variable error (due to "set -u"). Correct by specifying
default value with dynamicLinker:- and not generating ldflagsBefore if
no linker is found.
This problem was found when cross compiling to mingw32 targets
This requires some small changes in the stdenv, then working around the
weird choice LLVM made to hardcode @rpath in its install name, and then
lets us remove a ton of annoying workaround hacks in many of our Go
packages. With any luck this will mean less hackery going forward.
cc-wrapper may wrap a cc-compiler, but it doesn't need one to build
itself. (c.f. expand-response-params is a separate derivation.) This
helps avoid cycles on the cross stuff, in addition to removing a
useless dependency edge.
I could have been super careful with overrides in the stdenv to avoid
the mass rebuild, but I don't think it's worth it.
1. `crossDrv` is now the default so we don't need to worry about that in
build != host builds.
2. shell is the build time shell, so `wrapCCCross` doesn't need to
worry, as build == host.
3. `shell.shellPath` will always be appended where useful.
4. Complicated `shell == ""` logic served no purpose.
This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
This becomes necessary if more wrappers besides cc-wrapper start
supporting hardening flags. Also good to make the warning into an
error.
Also ensure interface is being used right: Not as a string, not just in
bash.
ccPath is only defined below, so this condition would never be true.
Worse, that's not quite true: what if somebody happend to have `/clang`
and no sandboxing. Boy, wouldn't that be annoying to debug!
Having multiple compilers in the build environment would result in an
invalid LD_DYLD_PATH like /usr/lib/dyld/usr/lib/dyld.
Since the path is hardcoded in XNU it can't be anything but
/usr/lib/dyld anyway.
This fixes a bug introduced in #27831: `for path in "$dir"/lib*.so` assumed that
all libs match `lib*.so`, but 07674788d6 started
adding libs that match `*.so` and `*.so.*`.
Now is an opportune time to do this, as the infixSalt conversion in
`add-flags.sh` ensures that all the relevant `NIX_*` vars will be
defined even if empty.
This is basically a sed job, in preparation of the next commit. The
rules are more or less:
- s"NIX_(.._WRAPPER_)?([a-zA-Z0-9@]*)"NIX_\1@infixSalt@_\2"g
- except for non-cc-wrapper-specific vars like `NIX_DEBUG`
This is an ugly temp hack for cross compilation, but now we have something better on the way.
Bind `infixSalt` as an environment variable as it will be used in it.
Unified processing of command line arguments in ld-wrapper broke support for
`NIX_DONT_SET_RPATH` and revealed that ld-wrapper adds the directory of its
`-plugin` argument to runpath. This pull request fixes that. It treats
`dir/libname.so` as `-L dir -l name`, because this is how `ld.so` interprets
resulting binary: with `dir` in `RUNPATH` and the bare `libname.so` (without
`dir`) in `NEEDED`, it looks for `libname.so` in each `RUNPATH` and chooses the
first, even when the linker was invoked with an absolute path to `.so`.
As described in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18461, MacOS no
longer accepts dylibs which only reexport other dylibs, because their
symbol tables are empty. To get around this, we define an object file
with a single "private extern" symbol, which hopefully won't clobber
anything.
The time to expand rpath was proportional to the number of -L flags times the
number of -l flags. Now it is proportional to their sum (assuming constant
number of files in each directory in an -L flag).

As @oxij points out in [1], this breakage is especially serious because
it changes the contents of built environments without a corresonding
change in their hashes. Also, the revert is easier than I thought.
This reverts commit 3cb745d5a6.

Besides deduplicating overlapping logic, clear warning messages were
added for:
- No glob/path for dynamic linker provided (use default glob)
- Glob did not expand to anything (don't append flag)
- glob expanded to multiple things (take first, like before)
This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
I think it's ok to export things which aren't wrapped. The cc-wrapper
can be thought of as responsible for all of binutils and the c
compiler, only wrapping those binaries which are necessary to
interposition---as opposed to all binaries it thinks are relevaant.
Conversely, adding the setup hook to the unwrapped compilers would be
unforunate as hooks are ugly hacks and the compilers themselves take
a long time to rebuild. Better to wholely separate "pure packages" from
hacks.
Eventually we should avoid this "pre-wrapping" and just update those
files in nixpkgs. This mass-rebuild change is best done along with
those needed to reduce the disparity between native and cross (i.e.
making native the "identity cross").
We now (on cross) require per-target flag interposition by putting the
triple in the names of the relevant environment variables, e.g:
export NIX_arm_unknown_linux_gnu_CFLAGS_COMPILE=...
The wrapper also has a `infixSalt` attribute (and "_" prefixed and
suffixed variants) to assist downstream packages.
Note how that the dashes are replaced to keep the identifier valid.
Using names like this allows us to keep the settings for different
compilers seperate.
I think it might be even better to use names like `NIX_{BUILD,HOST}...`
using the platform's role rather than the platform itself, but this
would be more work as the previous stages' tools would have to be re-
wrapped to take on their new role. I therefore didn't do this for now,
but that route should be thoroughly explored in the future.
This fixes the Stack Clash issue rediscovered by Qualys. See
https://www.qualys.com/2017/06/19/stack-clash/stack-clash.txt
for more information on the topic, specifically section III.
We don't have the kernel mitigation available because it is a Grsecurity
feature which we don't support anymore. Other distributions like Gentoo
Hardened and Arch already have `-fstack-check` enabled by default.
See the Gentoo page on Stack Clash for more information on this solution:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/Gentoo_Hardened_and_Stack_Clash
This unfortunately doesn't apply to clang because `-fstack-check` is a
noop there. Note that the GCC implementation also has problems that could
be exploited to circumvent these checks but it is still better than
keeping it disabled.
This value is require to get c++ std include path for libclang based tools (vim plugins in my case).
I currently extract it this with this rather command:
```
eval echo $(nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'with (import <nixpkgs>) {}; clang.default_cxx_stdlib_compile')
```
it did not trigger any recompilation on my system.
This makes the response file handling more consistent with GCC.
For example, a reponse file may contain:
"-Wl,$ORIGIN"
GCC will treat this as a double quoted string and not expand the
variable reference. Previously, cc-wrapper would expand the variable
in the same was as if the string was provided on the command line.
