I was packaging Lix 2.91 for nixpkgs and was annoyed at the expect
dependency. Turns out that you can replace unbuffer with a pretty-short
Python script.
It became less short after I found out that Linux was converting \n to
\r\n in the terminal subsystem, which was not very funny, but is at
least solved by twiddling termios bits.

I noticed there was some stuff setting configureFlags that definitely do
not do anything with meson, so let's rip them out.
As for the empty file, it was added when I was thinking I needed a fake
C++ target to convince meson to create the necessary dependencies. That
was not in fact possible so it should have never been committed.

This still has utterly unacceptably bad output format design that I
would not inflict on anyone I like, but it *does* now exist, and you
*can* find the errors in the log.
Future work would obviously be to fix that and integrate the actual
errors into Gerrit using codechecker or so.

This was broken because Nix language's version comparison does not know
how to deal with versions like -rc1 and considers them newer, which is
in this case not desirable.
That in turn led to not tagging 2.90.0 docker images as "latest" since
the heuristic was wrong.
This commit also adds some more cross-checking and failsafes in case the
person running releng does not have a local main branch that is up to

When MANPATH is unset or contains an empty component, a reasonable default is
used. Previously (after 3dced96741), when MANPATH
was unset, the shell hook would only place a location containing the Lix manual
pages there, and system-wide manual pages would become unavailable in the
development shell, which is undesired. Fix the issue by including an empty
component in this case.

Expose an option for disabling the BDW-GC build dependency entirely. Fix the
place where one of its headers was included (unnecessarily) without proper

anyway), to ensure this configuration is not regressed again.

This was causing a few bits of suffering downstream, in particular, in
the NixOS module, which, after this change, can have the
`officialRelease` stuff in *it* completely deleted since we now have
correct defaulting in package.nix for it.
It also eliminates some automated editing of Nix files, which is
certainly always welcome to eliminate.

Previously, system call filtering (to prevent builders from storing files with
setuid/setgid permission bits or extended attributes) was performed using a
blocklist. While this looks simple at first, it actually carries significant
security and maintainability risks: after all, the kernel may add new syscalls
to achieve the same functionality one is trying to block, and it can even be
hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C
library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this
happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1].
The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require
a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase,
failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has
rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new
syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older
kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways
of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed.
Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger
filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this
issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in
systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the
actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very
simple filter blocking only one system call.
This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The
system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the
latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a
requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of
glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build
failures any more.

this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.
this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.
test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:
- 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
- 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
- equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
(excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)
more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

On operating systems where /bin/sh is not Bash, some scripts are invalid
because of bashisms, and building Lix fails with errors like this:
`render-manpage.sh: 3: set: Illegal option -o pipefail`

This is motivated by flakes being bad and all the stuff that calls
things by "system" being utterly unable to cope with cross compilation.
So if we go shove it in package.nix it is suddenly usable from cross

This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.
I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.
It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.
Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.
We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

If we don't want to have separate registry tags by architecture (EWWWW),
we need to be able to build multiarch docker images. This is pretty
simple, and just requires making a manifest pointing to each of the
component images.
I was *going* to just do this API prodding with manifest-tool, but it
doesn't support putting metadata on the outer manifest, which is
actually kind of a problem because it then doesn't render the metadata
on github. So I guess we get a simple little containers API
implementation that is 90% auth code.

It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago
and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all.
This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for
`#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and
as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly
just be free build time savings.
Previous state:
Compilation (551 times):
Parsing (frontend): 1302.1 s

New state:
**** Time summary:

I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH
operation a few times, because meson does it per-target.
