The idea is to provide a convenient way to enable most vanilla hardening
features in one go. The hardened profile, then, will serve as a place for
features that enhance security but cannot be enabled for all deployments
because they interfere with legitimate use cases (e.g., using ptrace to
debug problems in an already running process).

The "simpleUefiGummiboot" installer test fails since this commit,
because that commit introduced a small check to verify whether the store
was altered.
While installing NixOS for the first time, the store is usually in
/mnt/nix/store and without the read-only bind mount that's preventing
programs from altering the store.
So after nixos-install is done creating the system closure and setting
it as the active system profile, the bootloader is written from the
closure inside the chroot. The systemd-boot-builder is invoked during
this step, which adds .pyc files for various Python modules of the
Python 3 store path, which in turn invalidates the hash of the Python 3
store path itself.
At the time the system is booted up again, the nix-store is verified and
fails with something like this:
path /nix/store/zvm545rqc4d97caqq9h7344bnd06jhzb-python3-3.5.3 was

This reverts commit c2b56626f1.

/cc #24978, @zraexy, @Mic92.
The key distinction I'm drawing is that there's a component that deals
with the store of the machine being built, and another component for
the store building it. The inner part of it assumes nothing from the
builder (doesn't need chroot or root powers) so it can run comfortably
inside a Nix build, as well as nixos-rebuild. I have some upcoming work
that will use that to significantly speed up and streamline image builds
for NixOS, especially on virtualized hosts like EC2, but it's also a
reasonable speedup on native hosts.
bluez no longer recommends spawning "hciconfig <device> up" from a udev rule as

This change fixes two major issues:
1. If you don't use SIGQUIT to stop Plex it will corrupt its own
database :(
2. Newer versions of Plex keep metadata in the
`com.plexapp.plugins.library.db` database. This is the file that
we copy into `/var/lib/plex/.skeleton`. If we copy the empty
database on top of this one the user will lose their entire
library metadata. This change skips the copy if the file
already exists.

This allows gitweb to expand '~' in /etc/gitconfig. Without a $HOME

Setting $HOME to the gitweb project root seems like a sensible value.
This reverts commit 0a6a06346a.
The commit replaced the text to search for from ALICE to BOB, because
our OCR detection only caught "BOB FOOBAR" but missed "ALICE FOOBAR"
completely.
With the improvements to our OCR system this no longer is the case and
the test passes successfully with this reverted.

First of all, we're now using ImageMagick to improve the screenshot so
that Tesseract has an esier time to recognize the text. The resulting
image of this post-processing is a scaled up black-and-white version
with the backgrounds almost entirely removed and the text edges a bit
blurred, so the screen shots now more or less resemble an image from a
scanner rather. This is what Tesseract is trained for by default.
As mentioned in the previous commit we now also use Tesseract 4, which
further improves the quality of text recognition.
I've spent countless hours just to test different postprocessing
variants and testing what works best for our tests and this is the one
that worked best so far. It's certainly not perfect and I'd like to
avoid the scaling step but we're way better off than before.
In addition to this, the OCR process is now done without an intermediate
file, solely using pipes.
I've tested this using the following VM tests which have OCR enabled:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix
* nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot
* nixos/tests/lightdm.nix
* nixos/tests/plasma5.nix
* nixos/tests/sddm.nix
All of the tests still succeed and comparing some of the recognition
results to the earlier results it now also detects a lot more text than
before this commit.

I've removed that attribute in 68bc260ca2,
because the language files no longer were distributed as seperate files,
but if we for example only want to use the English training data, the
closure size of Tesseract gets quite large (around 1.2 GB), which is a
bit much just to be able to run NixOS VM tests.
For this reason I've also switched the VM tests back to using only the
English language.
Tested using the following VM tests (the ones that have OCR enabled) on
x86_64-linux:

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.5.
Mostly a bugfix release, no major backwards-incompatible changes.
Remove deprecated `UsePrivilegeSeparation` option,
which is now mandatory.
gyre-fonts provides high-quality TrueType substitutes for standard PostScript
fonts. Unlike most other distributions, NixOS does not install Ghostscript and
its Type 1 fonts by default, so we must get the standard fonts elsewhere.
For whatever reason, the OCR code is not detecting ALICE but is BOB.

The LUKS header can be on another device (e.g. a USB stick). In my case
it can take up to two seconds until the partition on my USB stick is
available (i.e. the decryption fails without this patch). This will also
remove some redundancy by providing the shell function `wait_target` and
slightly improve the output (one "." per second and a success/failure
indication after 10 seconds instead of always printing "ok").
Restarting them is useless since the filesystem is already
checked. Worse, restarting them causes the filesystem to be unmounted.
Also remove an override for systemd-rkill@.service which no longer
exists.
This reduces the time window during which IP addresses are gone during
switch-to-configuration. A complication is that with stopIfChanged =
true, preStop would try to delete the *new* IP addresses rather than
the old one (since the preStop script now runs after the switch to the
new configuration). So we now record the actually configured addresses
in /run/nixos/network/addresses/<interface>. This is more robust in
any case.

Unfortunately, somewhere between 16.09 and 17.03, paravirtualized
instances stopped working. They hang at the pv-grub prompt
("grubdom>"). I tried reverting to a 4.4 kernel, reverting kernel
compression from xz to bzip2 (even though pv-grub is supposed to
support xz), and reverting the only change to initrd generation
(5a8147479e). Nothing worked so I'm
giving up.
Docker socket is world writable. This means any user on the system is

I don't have any real ideas on what could cause the problem but there is
at least one theoretical one: the system starts hibernating before the
listener process manages to open the TCP port for listening, and it can't
open it after resuming because not enough pages from the netcat binary
have been paged in (and as the 9p filesystem holding it is now toast,
they can't be loaded anymore).
Commit 75f131da02 added
`chown 'nginx:nginx' '/var/lib/acme'` to the pre-start script,
but since it doesn't use `chown -R`, it is possible that there
are older existing subdirs (like `acme-challenge`)
that are owned to `root` from before that commit went it.
AFAICT, this issue only occurs when sshd is socket-activated. It turns
out that the preStart script's stdout and stderr are connected to the
socket, not just the main command's. So explicitly connect stderr to
the journal and redirect stdout to stderr.
This reverts commit 1a74eedd07. It
breaks NixOps, which expects that
rm -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key*
systemctl restart sshd
cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
works.
When a user or group is revived, this allows it to be allocated the
UID/GID it had before.
A consequence is that UIDs and GIDs are no longer reused.

In order to use qt5ct (Qt5 Configuration Tool) to configure Qt5
settings (theme, font, icons, etc.) under DE/WM without Qt
integration, the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME should be
set to "qt5ct".
It can be done automatically by this module, or by setting the
variable explicitly in the user or in the system configuration.
This has surfaced since f803270b7e.
The commit bumped bash to version 4.4, which caused to change the order
of --subst-var flags in substituteAll, which this test was relying on,
because it added a @shell@ to boot.initrd.postMountCommands.
Our substituter is currently working a bit like this:
original.replace('@var1@', 'val1').replace('@var2@', 'val2')...
Unfortunately, this means that if @var2@ occurs within @var1@ it is
replaced by the new value, so the order of the substvars actually
matter. I highly doubt that we want a behaviour like this and I'm
wondering why it didn't occur to me as a problem while writing the
initial implementation of the VirtualBox tests.
Whether to get rid of this and disallowing substitution of substvars
within substvars is another topic which I think needs discussion in a
different place.
As for now, I'm using stdenv.shell, because the closure size of this
should fit within the initrd, so it's fine especially because it's just
a test.
Tested with the net-hostonlyif and systemd-detect-virt tests and they
both succeed with this change.

Having fixed the Google Compute Engine image build process's copying
of store paths in PR #24264, I ran `nixos-rebuild --upgrade switch`...
and the GCE image broke again, because it sets the NixOS configuration
option for the sysctl variable `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope` to
`mkDefault "1"`, i.e., with override priority 1000, and now the
`sysctl` module sets the same option to `mkDefault "0"` (this was
changed in commit 86721a5f78).
This patch raises the override priority of the Google Compute Engine
image configuration's definition of the Yama sysctl option to 500
(still lower than the priority of an unmodified option definition).
I have tested that this patch allows the Google Compute Engine image
to again build successfully for me.
And adopt the tests to add an interface and remove it again.
It should work when deactivating rstp, it will not work when activating

Currently, if you try to build a NixOS config including channel.nix, e.g.:
nix-build -I nixpkgs=. -I nixos-config=nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix nixos -A config.system.build.isoImage
twice in a row, you end up with two different build results. This is
caused by the 'result' symlink of the first build affecting the channel
contents of the second build.
If we use filterSource with a predicate that ignores the 'result'
symlinks, the problem is gone. Do the same thing for VIM/Emacs
swap/backup files to avoid even more 'spurious' rebuilds.
Additionally, filter out the '.git' directory at the same time, as we
'rm -rf' it from the result anyway. This avoids a considerable amount of
unnecessary file I/O copying and deleting the .git directory.
In `nixos/modules/virtualisation/google-compute-image.nix`, copy store
paths with `rsync -a` rather than `cp -prd`, because `rsync` seems
better able to handle the hard-links that may be present in the store,
whereas `cp` may fail to copy them.
I have tested that the Google Compute Engine image builds successfully
for me with this patch, whereas it did not without this patch.
This is the same fix applied for Azure images in commit
097ef6e435d5b3fcde92e67abbaaaaaf05c0723d.

kimpanel does not show installed IBus engines or allow switching input
methods. kimpanel does show configured keyboard layouts through kxkb, so I
believe there is some problem communicating with IBus. No error messages are
produced in the log and I have been unable to discover the cause. I have no
intention of continuing to work on kimpanel at this time, so it should be
disabled. The GTK+ 3-based panel provided by IBus is perfectly serviceable in
the interim.

In the absence of XCURSOR_PATH, the function XcursorLibraryPath
in libXcursor will return a hardcoded value unsuitable for NixOS.
Some desktops as well as display managers in NixOS currently do
set XCURSOR_PATH, but there are combinations where neither does
(e.g. SDDM+XFCE), resulting in no cursor themes being available.
The new definition if XCURSOR_PATH is effectively the same as what
KDE's startkde currently does.

* The module uses `stringSplit` but it should be `splitString`
* `rmilter` doesn't actually support binding to multiple sockets.
Therefore, bind to the last one specified if `socketActivation` is

I also believe there is a bug in this module related to systemd
`ListenStream`. If `socketActivation` is true, Postfix gets
connection timeouts trying to connect to one of the `ListenStream`
inet addresses. I don't know enough about `ListenStream` passing
connections on to `fd:3` to understand what's going on.
These changes are in production (with `socketActivation = false`) via NixOps.

The Infinality bytecode interpreter is removed in favor of the new v40 TrueType
interpreter. In the past, the Infinality interpreter provided support for
ClearType-style hinting instructions while the default interpreter (then v35)
provided support only for original TrueType-style instructions. The v40
interpreter corrects this deficiency, so the Infinality interpreter is no longer
necessary.
To understand why the Infinality interpreter is no longer necessary, we should
understand how ClearType differs from TrueType and how the v40 interpreter
works. The following is a summary of information available on the FreeType
website [1] mixed with my own editorializing.
TrueType instructions use horizontal and vertical hints to improve glyph
rendering. Before TrueType, fonts were only vertically hinted; horizontal hints
improved rendering by snapping stems to pixel boundaries. Horizontal hinting is
a risk because it can significantly distort glyph shapes and kerning. Extensive
testing at different resolutions is needed to perfect the TrueType
hints. Microsoft invested significant effort to do this with its "Core fonts for
the Web" project, but few other typefaces have seen this level of attention.
With the advent of subpixel rendering, the effective horizontal resolution of
most displays increased significantly. ClearType eschews horizontal hinting in
favor of horizontal supersampling. Most fonts are designed for the Microsoft
bytecode interpreter, which implements a compatibility mode with
TrueType-style (horizontal and vertical) instructions. However, applying the
full horizontal hints to subpixel-rendered fonts leads to color fringes and
inconsistent stem widths. The Infinality interpreter implements several
techniques to mitigate these problems, going so far as to embed font- and
glyph-specific hacks in the interpreter. On the other hand, the v40 interpreter
ignores the horizontal hinting instructions so that glyphs render as they are
intended to on the Microsoft interpreter. Without the horizontal hints, the
problems of glyph and kerning distortion, color fringes, and inconsistent stem
widths--the problems the Infinality interpreter was created to solve--simply
don't occur in the first place.
There are also security concerns which motivate removing the Infinality patches.
Although there is an updated version of the Infinality interpreter for FreeType
2.7, the lack of a consistent upstream maintainer is a security concern. The
interpreter is a Turing-complete virtual machine which has had security
vulnerabilities in the past. While the default interpreter is used in billions
of devices and is maintained by an active developer, the Infinality interpreter
is neither scrutinized nor maintained. We will probably never know if there are
defects in the Infinality interpreter, and if they were discovered they would
likely never be fixed. I do not think that is an acceptable situtation for a
core library like FreeType.
Dropping the Infinality patches means that font rendering will be less
customizable. I think this is an acceptable trade-off. The Infinality
interpreter made many compromises to mitigate the problems with horizontal
hinting; the main purpose of customization is to tailor these compromises to the
user's preferences. The new interpreter does not have to make these compromises
because it renders fonts as their designers intended, so this level of
customization is not necessary.
The Infinality-associated patches are also removed from cairo. These patches
only set the default rendering options in case they aren't set though
Fontconfig. On NixOS, the rendering options are always set in Fontconfig, so
these patches never actually did anything for us!
The Fontconfig test suite is patched to account for a quirk in the way PCF fonts
are named.
The fontconfig option `hintstyle` is no longer configurable in NixOS. This
option selects the TrueType interpreter; the v40 interpreter is `hintslight` and
the older v35 interpreter is `hintmedium` or `hintfull` (which have actually
always been the same thing). The setting may still be changed through the
`localConf` option or by creating a user Fontconfig file.
Users with HiDPI displays should probably disable hinting and antialiasing: at
best they have no visible effect.
The fontconfig-ultimate settings are still available in NixOS, but they are no
longer the default. They still work, but their main purpose is to set rendering
quirks which are no longer necessary and may actually be
detrimental (e.g. setting `hintfull` for some fonts). Also, the vast array of
font substitutions provided is not an appropriate default; the default setting
should be to give the user the font they asked for.
