Joachim Fasting 5a8147479e make-initrd: create reproducible initrds
To achieve reproducible results, `cpio` archive members are added in
sorted order and inodes renumbered.

The `cpio-clean.pl` script is made obsolete by setting mtimes via
`touch` & using `cpio --reproducible`.  Suggested by @dezgeg in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/21273#issuecomment-268116605.

Note that using `--reproducible` means that initial ramdisk creation now
requires at least `cpio` version 2.12 (released in 2015).

Shea Levy acd4299e75 Merge branch 'master' into stdenv-updates
Conflicts:
	pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/chromium/default.nix
	pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix

Merge conflicts seemed trivial, but a look from viric and aszlig would be nice.

Eelco Dolstra ab3eeabfed Rename buildNativeInputs -> nativeBuildInputs
Likewise for propagatedBuildNativeInputs, etc.  "buildNativeInputs"
sounds like an imperative rather than a noun phrase.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 11aa65c28a Simplified much more the expressions for cross building and multiplatform.
I introduce the new nixpkgs parameter "platform", defaulting to "pc",
which was before defined as an attribute of nixpkgs.

I made the crossSystem nixpkgs attribute set parameter contain its own 'platform'.

This allows cross-building a kernel for a given crossSystem.platform in a non-PC
platform.

The actual native platform can be taken from stdenv.platform, and this way we also
avoid the constant passing of 'platform' to packages for platform-dependant builds
(kernel, initrd, ...).

I will update nixos accordingly to these changes, for non-PC platforms to work.

I think we are gaining on flexibility and clearness. I could cross build succesfully
an ultrasparc kernel and a mipsel kernel on PC. But since this change, I should be able
to do this also in non-PC.

Before this change, there was no possibility of distinguishing the "target platform" or
the "native build platform" when cross building, being the single "platform" attribute
always interpreted as target platform.

The platform is a quite relevant attribute set, as it determines the linuxHeaders used
(in the case, by now the only one supported, of linux targets).

The platform attributes are quite linux centric still. Let's hope for more generality to come.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.
