Putting the kernel modules into the same output path as the main
VirtualBox derivation causes all of VirtualBox to be rebuilt on every
single kernel update.
The build process of VirtualBox already outputs the kernel module source
along with the generated files for the configuration of the main
VirtualBox package. We put this into a different output called "modsrc"
which we re-use from linuxPackages.virtualbox, which is now only
containing the resulting kernel modules without the main user space
implementation.
This not only has the advantage of decluttering the Nix expression for
the user space portions but also gets rid of the need to nuke references
and the need to patch out "depmod -a".

We now no longer need to update VirtualBox manually, which has a few
advantages. Along with making it just easier to update this also makes
the update procedure way less error-prone, for example if people forget
to bump the extension pack revision or to update the guest additions.

The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
VirtualBox had support for DBUS even in version 4.x, but it appears that
nothing in our VM test triggered it to load, thus I didn't notice the
runtime error:
rtldrNativeLoad: dlopen('libdbus-1.so.3', RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL) failed:
libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
The upstream commits I think are responsible for this to come to surface
are _probably_ (did I ever mention that I love SVN? *cough*) one of
these:

Within fractions* of a second, the beautifully crafted history and
branching mechanisms of SVN found out the exact revision which caused
this to be visible in version 5.x but not in version 4.x:
https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?old_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&old=30933&new_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&new=30934
Also note the very short URL and the informative changeset message which
shows you exactly what was the issue, I think.
Be warned however, it may contain traces of history amnesia, revision
epilepsy and other related diseases.
As for the issue itself: This was very much broken in 4.x as well, but
it didn't show an error message in the UI. The PulseAudio library is
loaded at runtime and it's not able to do that unless it's in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Now, we're doing the same as with the ALSA libraries: We're hardcoding
the path to the shared object file in patchPhase.
Thanks to @devhell for reporting and testing.

Instead of coping it to $out and later deleting it, we now exclude the

constantly in $sourceRoot.

We divert to the $out/share/virtualbox directory only if we have
hardening enabled, so let's put the extension pack into
$out/libexec/virtualbox instead if we're compiling without hardening.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Yes, this is only on the package level, so it's possible to use
VirtualBox for example installed by nix-env -i, which of course doesn't
have access to the functionality provided by the various VirtualBox
kernel modules.

With hardening, we need to go a bit further rather than just allowing
/nix/store being world-writable. We now use fakeroot to make sure the
VBoxExtPackHelperApp won't moan that the files are not owned by root.
They are, but only outside of the chrooted build process.
Another issue with using fakeroot is that it doesn't seem to cope well
with arguments that contain spaces. That's why I've piped the call into
${stdenv.shell}.
Now, the really gory and confusing part is the introduction of
VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH_TOP and the change of VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE.
The VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH is *only* for modules and is checked by
the hardened implementation against whether things like VMMR0.r0 or
VBoxVMM.so reside in that directory. As a side note: I admit that the
whole libexec directory is quite polluted with stuff that shouldn't be
there, but for now we've broken enough things and will tear apart the
whole structure at some day in the future[TM].
For the confusing part we have VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH_TOP, which
_should_ be the same as VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH but unfortunately,
the hardened implementation is checking against this directory (in
IsValidBaseDir) for the extension pack(why!?).
Of course, we could put even that into the libexec directory, somewhat
similar as the official package, but after all, let's at least *try* to
separate things.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
VirtualBox with hardening support requires the main binaries to be
setuid root. Using VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH, we ensure that the RPATHs are
pointing to the libexec directory and we also need to unset
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN to make sure that the build system is actually setting
those RPATHs.
The hardened.patch implements two things:
* Set the binary directory to the setuid-wrappers dir so that
VboxSVC calls them instead of the binaries from the store path. The
reason behind this is because nothing in the Nix store can have the
setuid flag.
* Excempt /nix/store from the group permission check, because while it
is group-writeable indeed it also has the sticky bit set (and also
the whole store is mounted read-only on most NixOS systems), so we're
checking on that as well.
Right now, the hardened.patch uses /nix/store and /var/setuid-wrappers
directly, so someone would ever want to change those on a NixOS system,
please provide a patch to set those paths on build time. However, for
simplicity, it's best to do it when we _really_ need it.

Traversing the full source tree is unneccessary, because the calls are

In most cases, this just meant changing kernelDev (now removed from
linuxPackagesFor) to kernel.dev. Some packages needed more work (though
whether that was because of my changes or because they were already
broken, I'm not sure). Specifics:
* psmouse-alps builds on 3.4 but not 3.10, as noted in the comments that
were already there
* blcr builds on 3.4 but not 3.10, as noted in comments that were
already there
* open-iscsi, ati-drivers, wis-go7007, and openafsClient don't build on
3.4 or 3.10 on this branch or on master, so they're marked broken
* A version-specific kernelHeaders package was added
The following packages were removed:
* atheros/madwifi is superceded by official ath*k modules
* aufs is no longer used by any of our kernels
* broadcom-sta v6 (which was already packaged) replaces broadcom-sta
* exmap has not been updated since 2011 and doesn't build
* iscis-target has not been updated since 2010 and doesn't build
* iwlwifi is part of mainline now and doesn't build
* nivida-x11-legacy-96 hasn't been updated since 2008 and doesn't build
Everything not specifically mentioned above builds successfully on 3.10.
I haven't yet tested on 3.4, but will before opening a pull request.

First, pass in `self' again so that overriding works properly (thanks
for pointing that out, @edolstra)
Second, instead of having linuxPackages*.kernel mean something different
inside the set and out, add a new attribute linuxPackages*.kernelDev,
which for the generic kernel is simply linuxPackages*.kernel but for the
manual-config kernel is the `dev' output (which has the build tree,
source tree, etc.)
The second change required trivial modifications in a bunch of
expressions, I verified that all of the linuxPackages* sets defined in
all-packages.nix have the same drv paths before and after the change.

This patch is cherry-picked from VirtualBox Subversion, revision 44867.
It's rather small and only is in effect if kernel version is >= 3.9.0, so it

about the latest stable upstream (kernel) versions.

This adds a patch to support CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS being activated in
the kernel config (selected by CONFIG_USER_NS for example).
When this kernel option is enabled, current->cred->uid is a structure rather
than a simple integer type (uid_t and gid_t), so we need to check for that and
also pass the current user namespace where needed.

Fortunately this time the upstream package was packaged correctly and we no
longer need the patch to remove the reference to the fa_IR locale.
In addition we need to add lvm2 to dependencies because VirtualBox now requires
libdevmapper with its default configuration. We could disable it but in order to
gain DM support I think it's necessary and at least could avoid some confusion
from users if it's not working "out of the box" :-)

First of all, modules won't install when there is no "make modules" prior to it,
so we're doing this now with a new function called forEachModule, so we can
avoid duplication as much as possible.
In addition this sets $sourcedir to the current directory of the configurePhase,
so we're able to find the source tree later on, after several chdir()s.
The scripts/depmod.sh checks whether the path in $DEPMOD is executable and only
executes it if that's the case. So, by setting DEPMOD to "/do_not_use_depmod"
the destination path doesn't exist _and_ thus isn't executable aswell.
The for loop didn't find $curdir, because it was set _after_ the directory has
been changed. The variable is now called $srcroot and is set before the
installPhase is changing directories.
Don't rely on VirtualBox's in-tree build scripts to set include paths correctly
and use the official way of the Linux kernel to build the modules. That way we
don't need to make ugly symlinks in the kernel tree or heavily patch VirtualBox.
