The thing I had pushed, but merging in NixOS#9653 now that that commit is pulled out into its own PR.

@Ericson2314 Ericson2314 requested a review from edolstra as a code owner January 3, 2024 16:05
There is now a separation of:

1. A `FileSystemObjectSink` for writing to git repos

2. Adapting libarchive to use that parse sink.

The prepares a proper separation of concerns.
There is no longer an `importTarball` method. Instead, there is a
`unpackTarfileToSink` function (back in libutil). The caller can use
thisw with the `getParseSink` method we added in the last commit easily
enough.

In addition, tarball cache functionality is separated from `git-utils`
and moved into `tarball-cache`. This ensures we are separating mechanism
and policy.

We now see exception beeing thrown when remote building in master
because of writing to a non-blocking file descriptor from our json logger.

So far only drainFD sets the non-blocking flag on a "readable" file descriptor,
while this is a "writeable" file descriptor.
It's not clear to me yet, why we see logs after that point, but it's
also not that bad to handle EAGAIN in read/write functions after all.

This makes it behave the same as nix-daemon. Opening the store in the
parent can cause a SIGBUS in libsqlite in the child:

This was removed in NixOS#11152. However,
we need it for the multi-threaded evaluator, because otherwise Boehm
GC will crash while scanning the thread stack:

This is because it will use the stack pointer of the coroutine, so it
will scan a region of memory that doesn't exist, e.g.

  Stack for thread 0x7ffea4ff96c0 is [0x7ffe80197af0w,0x7ffea4ffa000)

(where 0x7ffe80197af0w is the sp of the coroutine and 0x7ffea4ffa000
is the base of the thread stack).

We don't scan coroutine stacks, because currently they don't have GC
roots (there is no evaluation happening in coroutines). So there is
currently no need to restore the other parts of the original patch,
such as BoehmGCStackAllocator.
