* Extend libc
Include non-libc core libraries in the libc package. Many of these
mirror libraries present in glibc on linux, such as libgcc, libraries
used for iconv, and libraries used for reading kernel info (libkvm,
libprocstat, libmemstat).
Without this many packages outside the freebsd tree would need to be
modified to include standard dependencies which would already be on
the system for other packages.
* Mark FreeBSD as using LLVM
* Update default LLVM version FreeBSD
* Use patch monolith
The patchesRoot system combined with the fact that each derivation
will Request specific names of patches makes it very annoying to use
other FreeBSD source trees with nixpkgs. This new system allows
providing one Or more entire trees of patches whose contents will be
dynamically Parsed and only the relevant patches will be applied for
any one Derivation.
With this commit, the following knobs are available for specifying the
FreeBSD source:
- overriding `freebsd.versionInfo`, for picking another official
supported FreeBSD release.
- overriding `freebsd.source` for specifying a specific unpatched
FreeBSD source tree.
- overriding `freebsd.patches`, for specifying the patches to apply.

The idea behind that is to enable users and developers of
downstream tools such as home-manager to test Nix master for several
reasons:
* Nix is currently trying to have a `master` branch that's always
releasable[1]. We're still on Nix 2.18 in nixpkgs due to too many
notable regressions. Enabling people to test latest master may help on
that end.
* This uses the most bleeding-edge Nix, but our packaging, so we can
identify issues with our packaging early.
* From what I've seen, most people are using the packages from nixpkgs
anyways instead of the upstream flake, this is far more convenient
anyways.
My plan is to update this once a week. Right now we rely on the
`installCheckPhase` here, but as soon as we have proper regression
testing[2], we may want to add `nixUnstable` there as well (however with
failures being allowed probably).

This is all I could find after co-maintaining lib for a long time.
I've had the fortune of basically not really noticing this file,
because it has had very few interactions until the confusion in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/304277
It seems to be a state of limbo, which would be nice to resolve
(with great care), but this is not urgent, and first we should
document its status.
Part 1 of #301908.
This renames the two versions of the Apple Public Source License seen in
nixpkgs; `apsl20` was often confused as being for the widely-used Apache
License 2.0.
I haven't managed to trigger the error, and it turns out that this
method is optional.
Specifically, getSubmodules is unimplemented (and unimplementable),
the tests pass, and we seem to have good location info.

This allows refactoring in the file without accidentally modifying the
public interface of the file.
Also, pull in symbols consistently from `lib` instead of `builtins`.
There's a couple of aliases in play:
1. `lib.isList` is an alias for `builtins.isList`.
2. `lib.strings.concatStringsSep` is an alias for `builtins.concatStringsSep`
* doc: add details on `mapAttrsRecursive[Cond]`
from first reading it wasn't clear that `f` also takes the current
attribute path. also the value f receives is tricky due to how the
condition is evaluated.

makeOverridable is very careful to ensure the arguments to the
overridden function are the same as the input function. As a result,
the arguments of hello.override are exactly the same as the original
arguments of the hello function that produced the derivation.
However, callPackagesWith calls makeOverridable with a lambda that
does not propagate the arguments. The override function for a package
instantiated with callPackagesWith will not have the original
arguments.
For example:
nix-repl> lib.functionArgs hello.override
{ callPackage = false; fetchurl = false; hello = false; lib = false; nixos = false; stdenv = false; testers = false; }
nix-repl> lib.functionArgs openssl.override
{ }
By copying the arguments onto the inner lambda before passing it to
makeOverridable, we can make callPackage and callPackages behave the
same.
nix-repl> lib.functionArgs openssl.override
{ buildPackages = false; coreutils = false; cryptodev = false; enableSSL2 = true; enableSSL3 = true; fetchurl = false; lib = false; perl = false; removeReferencesTo = false; static = true; stdenv = false; withCryptodev = true; withPerl = true; }
This was found when trying to run the fileset tests on Darwin
(https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9546#issuecomment-1967409445), which mysteriously fail on Darwin:
test case at lib/fileset/tests.sh:342 failed: toSource { root = "/nix/store/foobar"; fileset = ./.; } should have errored with this regex pattern:
lib.fileset.toSource: `root` \(/nix/store/foobar\) is a string-like value, but it should be a path instead.
\s*Paths in strings are not supported by `lib.fileset`, use `lib.sources` or derivations instead.
but this was the actual error:
error: lib.fileset.toSource: `root` (/nix/store/foobar) is a string-like value, but it should be a path instead.
Paths in strings are not supported by `lib.fileset`, use `lib.sources` or derivations instead.
After dissecting this, I find out that apparently \s works on Linux, but not on Darwin for some reason!
From the bash source code, it looks like <regex.h> with `REG_EXTENDED` is used for all platforms the same,
so there's nothing odd there.
It's almost impossible to know where <regex.h> comes from,
but it looks to be a POSIX thing.
So after digging through the almost impossible to find POSIX specifications
(https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/re.html#tag_007_003_005),
I can indeed confirm that there's no mention of \s or the like!
_However_, there is a mention of `[[:blank:]]`, so we'll use that instead.
The previous code was optimized for the old uniq behavior, which did not
call merge. That's changed, so the legacy path is not a hot path anymore,
and is not worth any tech debt.
The deprecation warnings in lib were wildly inconsistent. Different
formulations were used in different places for the same meaning. Some warnings
used builtins.trace instead of lib.warn, which prevents silencing; one even
only had a comment instead. Make everything more uniform.
This allows for adding new, conditionally set, derivation attributes
to an existing derivation without changing any output paths in the
case where the condition is not met.
The only reason shallow clones are not the default in
`builtins.fetchGit` is that `revCount` can't be provided when cloning a
shallow repository. However, `revCount` isn't used or exposed by
`lib.fileset`. Hence, allowing cloning shallow repositories makes
`gitTracked` more general without any drawbacks.

It is useful that all (or almost all) .nix files in nixpkgs at least
parse since it allows for checking syntax in the repository
programmatically without evaluating anything.
This doesn't change uniq. Why not?
- In NixOS it seems that uniq is only used with
simple types that are fully checked by t.check.
- It exists for much longer and is used more widely.
- I believe we should deprecate it, because unique was
already better.
- unique can be a proving ground.
According to the WebAssembly design doc, wasm32 is an ILP32 ABI like
x32, mips64n32, and aarch64_ilp32 (Apple Watch). This commits adds
it to the predicate.

Most of the time when we do a patchelf conditional on
hostPlatform.isLinux, what we really mean is hostPlatform.isElf.
Now that we are starting to support BSDs, this is becoming more important.

Currently, the `lib/tests/modules.sh` test checks the output of
`nix-instantiate --eval` without `--json`, which outputs an unspecified
human-readable format.
This patch modifies `modules.sh` to use the `--json` output instead, to
be robust against future changes to `nix-instantiate` output.
This commit temporarily adds pkgs/test/release to the
lib/tests/release.nix test suite, because ofborg already knows about
that entry point.
We should move the list of test entry points out of ofborg and into
a central place in nixpkgs:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/272591
Once we do that we won't need to have this ugly kludge in an
inappropriate place.
* Improves the comments of `lib/flake-version-info.nix` and drops the
`__`-prefix from the filename.
* `lib'` -> `lib0` in `nixpkgs/lib`.
* Drop the declaration of `trivial.version` in the overlay because this
declaration already uses the final expressions of `versionSuffix` and
`release` now.
* No need to fall back to `self.lastModified` anymore, this was a
workaround for pre2.4 Nix.

That way each expression uses the final version of other lib.trivial
declarations.
For instance, when replacing `versionSuffix` with the string `"fnord"`
in a lib overlay, `trivial.version` uses `"fnord"` as suffix now rather
than `pre-git`.
A more efficient sort in some cases, and often convenient.
This exposes `lib.lists.sortOn` immediately on `lib`, because it is
a sibling of `sort`, which is already present there.
Omitting it would lead to more confusion, and worse outcomes.
There's no confusion about the types `sort` or `sortOn` operate on.
Haskell agrees about the type for `sortOn`, and it is in its `base`.
This type is necessary to have correct merging behavior for
`allowUnfreePredicate` and `allowInsecurePredicate`

For the time being, we're moving towards https://nix.dev/ containing
all tutorials and guides. The Nixpkgs manual is reinforced to be a
_reference_ manual. While it's not just reference for now, that's what
the docs team is working towards.
This commits rewrites the Nixpkgs manual introduction to reflect that
and point to some more useful links. The contribution docs are updated
similarly so it's not missed.

An important idea around the rust stuff in lib.systems is that it's
elaborated — this means that it should idempotently add to the values
passed in, if any. But we missed that the names used for the
parameter and the elaborated value for "rustcTarget"/"config" didn't
line up. The intention was to use "rustcTarget" everywhere in the new
interface, as a more descriptive name than "config".
This fixes setting the system in NixOS configuration, which results in
an already elaborated system being elaborated again. Before, this
wouldn't produce the correct result:
% nix-instantiate --eval -A stdenv.hostPlatform.rust.rustcTarget --system armv7l-linux
"armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf"
% NIX_PATH= nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import nixos/lib/eval-config.nix { system = "armv7l-linux"; modules = []; }).pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.rust.rustcTarget'
"arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf"
