Robin Gloster 4a0692a5fb types: remove references to new packageSet
Reverts part of a04a7272aa

packageSet is slated to be introduced in #11866 but currently causes
evalation errors.

Eelco Dolstra e4b4e9b986 linux: Make Unix domain sockets builtin
This hopefully fixes intermittent initrd failures where udevd cannot
create a Unix domain socket:

  machine# running udev...
  machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
  machine# error initializing udev control socket
  machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol

The "unix" kernel module is supposed to be loaded automatically, and
clearly that works most of the time, but maybe there is a race
somewhere. In any case, no sane person would run a kernel without Unix
domain sockets, so we may as well make it builtin.

Vladimír Čunát 0e1fe66aad kernel: do not load configs module (close #10912)
... because we make it built-in by default.
I can't imagine anyone who wanted to purge this module from his/her system,
so let's keep it simple, at least for now.

Brian McKenna fda9d83ddf initrd: add mmc_block to default available modules
mmc_block and sdhci_acpi are both necessary for a Bay Trail Chromebook with an
internal eMMC drive. The sdhci_acpi module is detectable but I can not figure
out a way to check whether the mmc_block module is needed by just looking at
/sys/

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 1c22734cd2 Forcing the load of atkbd in initrd.
In some computers, having the module available does not really load it,
therefore, it results in not having the keyboard avaiable in initrd.

Vladimír Čunát 02cb604fd6 initrd.availableKernelModules: add support for keyboards
As explained in #2169, some keyboards need special drivers,
so these are always added, both on installation and normal systems.

Eelco Dolstra 359935a1ef kmod-static-nodes: Drop superfluous wantedBy 2014-04-18 14:51:18 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 179acfb664 Allow upstream systemd units to be extended
If you define a unit, and either systemd or a package in
systemd.packages already provides that unit, then we now generate a
file /etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/overrides.conf. This makes it
possible to use upstream units, while allowing them to be customised
from the NixOS configuration. For instance, the module nix-daemon.nix
now uses the units provided by the Nix package. And all unit
definitions that duplicated upstream systemd units are finally gone.

This makes the baseUnit option unnecessary, so I've removed it.

Eelco Dolstra 7ea51b1c6c Enable kmod-static-nodes.service
This creates static device nodes such as /dev/fuse or
/dev/snd/seq. The kernel modules for these devices will be loaded on
demand when the device node is opened.

Eelco Dolstra 29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

Eelco Dolstra 6572708d39 Always load the "configs" kernel module
We used to have the configuration of the kernel available in a
somewhat convenient place (/run/booted-system/kernel-modules/config)
but that has disappeared.  So instead just make /proc/configs.gz
available.  It only eats a few kilobytes.

Eelco Dolstra 9ee30cd9b5 Add support for lightweight NixOS containers
You can now say:

  systemd.containers.foo.config =
    { services.openssh.enable = true;
      services.openssh.ports = [ 2022 ];
      users.extraUsers.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "ssh-dss ..." ];
    };

which defines a NixOS instance with the given configuration running
inside a lightweight container.

You can also manage the configuration of the container independently
from the host:

  systemd.containers.foo.path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/containers/foo";

where "path" is a NixOS system profile.  It can be created/updated by
doing:

  $ nix-env --set -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/containers/foo \
      -f '<nixos>' -A system -I nixos-config=foo.nix

The container configuration (foo.nix) should define

  boot.isContainer = true;

to optimise away the building of a kernel and initrd.  This is done
automatically when using the "config" route.

On the host, a lightweight container appears as the service
"container-<name>.service".  The container is like a regular NixOS
(virtual) machine, except that it doesn't have its own kernel.  It has
its own root file system (by default /var/lib/containers/<name>), but
shares the Nix store of the host (as a read-only bind mount).  It also
has access to the network devices of the host.

Currently, if the configuration of the container changes, running
"nixos-rebuild switch" on the host will cause the container to be
rebooted.  In the future we may want to send some message to the
container so that it can activate the new container configuration
without rebooting.

Containers are not perfectly isolated yet.  In particular, the host's
/sys/fs/cgroup is mounted (writable!) in the guest.
