[dezgeg: note that we are currently using just 'Image' instead of
'Image.gz' as U-Boot doesn't support the latter yet. We might switch
once it does since the kernel images are quite big]
[N.B., this package also applies to the commits that follow it in the same
PR.]
In most cases, buildPackages = pkgs so things work just as before. For
cross compiling, however, buildPackages is resolved as the previous
bootstrapping stage. This allows us to avoid the mkDerivation hacks cross
compiling currently uses today.
To avoid a massive refactor, callPackage will splice together both package
sets. Again to avoid churn, it uses the old `nativeDrv` vs `crossDrv` to do
so. So now, whether cross compiling or not, packages with get a `nativeDrv`
and `crossDrv`---in the non-cross-compiling case they are simply the same
derivation. This is good because it reduces the divergence between the
cross and non-cross dataflow. See `pkgs/top-level/splice.nix` for a comment
along the lines of the preceding paragraph, and the code that does this
splicing.
Also, `forceNativeDrv` is replaced with `forceNativePackages`. The latter
resolves `pkgs` unless the host platform is different from the build
platform, in which case it resolves to `buildPackages`. Note that the
target platform is not important here---it will not prevent
`forcedNativePackages` from resolving to `pkgs`.
--------
Temporarily, we make preserve some dubious decisions in the name of preserving
hashes:
Most importantly, we don't distinguish between "host" and "target" in the
autoconf sense. This leads to the proliferation of *Cross derivations
currently used. What we ought to is resolve native deps of the cross "build
packages" (build = host != target) package set against the "vanilla
packages" (build = host = target) package set. Instead, "build packages"
uses itself, with (informally) target != build in all cases.
This is wrong because it violates the "sliding window" principle of
bootstrapping stages that shifting the platform triple of one stage to the
left coincides with the next stage's platform triple. Only because we don't
explicitly distinguish between "host" and "target" does it appear that the
"sliding window" principle is preserved--indeed it is over the reductionary
"platform double" of just "build" and "host/target".
Additionally, we build libc, libgcc, etc in the same stage as the compilers
themselves, which is wrong because they are used at runtime, not build
time. Fixing this is somewhat subtle, and the solution and problem will be
better explained in the commit that does fix it.
Commits after this will solve both these issues, at the expense of breaking
cross hashes. Native hashes won't be broken, thankfully.
--------
Did the temporary ugliness pan out? Of the packages that currently build in
`release-cross.nix`, the only ones that have their hash changed are
`*.gcc.crossDrv` and `bootstrapTools.*.coreutilsMinimal`. In both cases I
think it doesn't matter.
1. GCC when doing a `build = host = target = foreign` build (maximally
cross), still defines environment variables like `CPATH`[1] with
packages. This seems assuredly wrong because whether gcc dynamically
links those, or the programs built by gcc dynamically link those---I
have no idea which case is reality---they should be foreign. Therefore,
in all likelihood, I just made the gcc less broken.
2. Coreutils (ab)used the old cross-compiling infrastructure to depend on
a native version of itself. When coreutils was overwritten to be built
with fewer features, the native version it used would also be
overwritten because the binding was tight. Now it uses the much looser
`BuildPackages.coreutils` which is just fine as a richer build dep
doesn't cause any problems and avoids a rebuild.
So, in conclusion I'd say the conservatism payed off. Onward to actually
raking the muck in the next PR!

Linux 4.9 includes experimental amdgpu support for AMD Southern Islands
chipsets. (By default, only Sea Islands and newer chipsets are supported.)
Southern Islands chips will still use radeon by default, but daring users may
set `services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "amdgpu" ];` to try the experimental
driver.
Would be just mdadm: 3.3.4 -> 4.0, but it doesn't look like there are
urgent bugfixes, and it is a major release, and wrong RAID handling
kills data, so let's let the early adopters test it a bit.
Until now nixos only delivered the latest zfs release. This release is often not
compatible with the latest mainline kernel. Therefor an unstable variant is
added, which might be based on testing releases or git revisions.

This reverts commit 55b18ac486.
There is already a "thin-provisioning-tools" package (see
cd1ec18b42).
Although this one was committed earlier, I'm reverting it because it's
not only older, but it's unreferenced within <nixpkgs>.
Apart from that the packaging of the other package is of higher
packaging quality (maintainer and license, doesn't use "descriptionS",
uses autoreconfHook).

This wasn't being used and it was causing an error when evaluating:

The plan is to fix mounting DFS shares on NixOS (for which some of these
options are needed), but I figured it might be a good idea to enable all
CONFIG_CIFS_* like Fedora 24 and Ubuntu 16.04 while at it. Ubuntu even
has CONFIG_CIFS_SMB311, but as Fedora do not, I left it out.
Mounting DFS shares still doesn't work; need to configure cifs.upcall
and /etc/request-key.conf. Until then, using GVFS as a workaround.
Fixes this ./configure symptom:
configure: WARNING: talloc.h not found, consider installing libtalloc-devel. Disabling cifs.upcall.
and is needed to (eventually) fix CIFS + DFS kernel mount on NixOS.
Build fails across all our kernels. There is a new version 1.60, but
it, too, fails to build. Until somebody comes along to patch around it,
we might as well mark this as broken.
The SDK includes cups header files, but not the libraries. The
`nixpkgs.cups` definition doesn't build on darwin due to the SDK being
too old. This change symlinks the system cups libraries into the old
SDK.
Fairly severe, but can be disabled at bootup via
grsec_sysfs_restrict=0. For the NixOS module we ensure that it is
disabled, for systemd compatibility.
Copied from linux_4_4 (except for the EFI stub thing).
Otherwise the firewall module fails to evaluate:
Failed assertions:
- This kernel does not support rpfilter
The `groups.1.gz` collides with one from coreutils. The code to fix this
was already present in expression, but wrongly assumes that share/man/man1
directory will be copied to `man` output after `installPhase`.
It turned out, that man directory is set at configure step, so we should
remove file from `man` output.
This reverts commit 5d804566df.
This was an error on my part. I had the commit sitting on my local master
and pulled upstream to rebase my commit before pushing. I didn't notice
there was a commit bumping lxc and the auto-merge on the rebase.
This reverts commit fdbf7dc8b3.
Unfortunately, while gradm now works when the RBAC system is enabled,
gradm still fails when full system learning is enabled, so I probably
need to try again later.
