two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which

Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
Linux prints a deprecation warning when clock= is used on the command
line, and has done since 2006. The replacement is clocksource=.
The clocksource output on the console looks like same before and after
this change.
It is sometimes useful to have a seprate /usr partition to make systemd
tools happy (e.g. repart, sysupdate, gpt-auto-generator etc.). The test
script should not depend on usrbinenv to make this possible.
In #256226, `backdoor.service` was changed to be part of
`sysinit.target` instead of having default dependencies. This broke
several tests that relied on `backdoor.service` starting after default
targets. For example, `systemd-boot.update` expects `/boot` to be
mounted as soon as the backdoor is running.
These tests really ought to be declaring their dependencies properly
with things like `machine.wait_for_unit("local-fs.target")`, because
it's useful for the backdoor to start as early as possible. But for
now, let's just order it the way it was before in stage 2, and use the
earlier ordering in the new stage 1 context.
The empty string is coerced to an attrset:
{ address = ""; interface = null; metric = null; }
The new defaultGateway logic (correctly) complains that interface must
be defined when using networkd. We instead clear defaultGateway by
setting it to its actual default value, which is null.
The current name is misleading: it doesn't contain cli arguments,
but several constants and utility functions related to qemu.
This commit also removes the use of `with import ...` for clarity.
Since 03eaa48 added perl.withPackages, there is a canonical way to
create a perl interpreter from a list of libraries, for use in script
shebangs or generic build inputs. This method is declarative (what we
are doing is clear), produces short shebangs[1] and needs not to wrap
existing scripts.
Unfortunately there are a few exceptions that I've found:
1. Scripts that are calling perl with the -T switch. This makes perl
ignore PERL5LIB, which is what perl.withPackages is using to inform
the interpreter of the library paths.
2. Perl packages that depends on libraries in their own path. This
is not possible because perl.withPackages works at build time. The
workaround is to add `-I $out/${perl.libPrefix}` to the shebang.
In all other cases I propose to switch to perl.withPackages.

Follow-up to: nixos/systemd: allow preStart with other ExecStartPre cmdlines #109976
As the additional ExecStartPre and ExecStartPost are now lists, update
their processing by service-runner.nix

In bc2188b we changed test test-instrumentation to also set the QEMU
package that is being used. That change unfortunately caused us to
always assing values to the virtualisation.qemu.package option even when
the option is not defined. The original code was explicitly testing for
the consoles case but the then newly extended version did not adjust the
check as the intention was probably not clear.
With this commit we are always ensuring the entire virtualisation.qemu
section exists and can thus drop the individual tests for each of the
sections since the QEMU module always defines both the package and the
consoles option when it's root is defined..
When I test a change e.g. in the module system manually, I usually use
`nixos-build-vms(8)` which also gives me a QEMU window where I can play
around in the freshly built VM.
It seems as this has changed recently when the default package for
non-interactive VM tests using the same framework was switched to
`pkgs.qemu_test` to reduce the closure size. While this is a reasonable
decision for our CI tests, I think that you really want a QEMU window of
the VM by default when using `nixos-build-vms(8)`.
[1] bc2188b083
If `qemu-vm.nix` is imported, the option `virtualisation.qemu.consoles`
should be set to make sure that the machine's output isn't rendered on
the graphical window of QEMU.
This is needed when interactively running a NixOS test or in conjunction
with `nixos-build-vms(8)`.
The patch 2578557530 tries to only do this
if the option actually exists, however this condition used to be always
false since `options` wasn't imported in the module and pointed to
`lib.options` due to the `with lib;`-clause.
Discovered via https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82743 which
improved option checking, causing an evaluation error that was
hard to understand without running the evaluation manually.
We set stateVersion to `mkDefault 18.03` in
`nixos/modules/testing/test-instrumentation.nix` and in
`modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-base.nix`.
Accessing the stateVersion in the module system from within the tests
results in the following error:
> The unique option `system.stateVersion' is defined multiple times, in
> `nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-base.nix' and
> `nixpkgs/nixos/modules/testing/test-instrumentation.nix'.
There are other tests that use it as well. Namely the radicale test also
verifies behaviour between state versions is as expected. It switches a
package default value. Others switched on the state directory default.
It seems like having the timesyncd switch as part of every rendered
activationScript might cause this weird error.
Removing this line seems like a reasonable thing to do since we actually
set the default to the very same value in the module system. This line
should have been no-op besides the issue that we've two statements
setting it in this very specific case.
DefaultTimeoutStartSec is normally set to 90 seconds and works fine. But
when running NixOS tests on a very slow machine (like a VM without
nested virtualisation support) this default is to low and causes
systemd units to fail spuriously. One symptom of this issue are tests
at times failing with "timed out waiting for the VM to connect".
Since the VM connect timeout is 300 seconds I also set
DefaultTimeoutStartSec to this which is ridiculously high.
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
Regression introduced by d4468bedb5.
No systemd messages are shown anymore during VM test runs, which is not
very helpful if you want to find out about failures.
There is a bit of a conflict between testing and the change that
introduced the regression. While the mentioned commit makes sure that
the primary console is tty0 for virtualisation.graphics = false, our VM
tests need to have the serial console as primary console.
So in order to support both, I added a new virtualisation.qemu.consoles
option, which allows to specify those options using the module system.
The default of this option is to use the changes that were introduced
and in test-instrumentation.nix we use only the serial console the same
way as before.
For test-instrumentation.nix I didn't add a baudrate to the serial
console because I can't find a reason on top of my head why it should
need it. There also wasn't a reason stated when that was introduced in
7499e4a5b9.
