Since withFramedSink() is now used a lot more than in the past (for
every addToStore() variant), we were creating a lot of threads, e.g.
nix flake show --no-eval-cache --all-systems github:NixOS/nix/afdd12be5e19c0001ff3297dea544301108d298
would create 46418 threads. While threads on Linux are cheap, this is
still substantial overhead.
So instead, just poll from FramedSink before every write whether there
are pending messages from the daemon. This could slightly increase the
latency on log messages from the daemon, but not on exceptions (which
were only synchronously checked from FramedSink anyway).
This speeds up the command above from 19.2s to 17.5s on my machine (a
9% speedup).

This leads to confusion about what the command does.
E.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9359
- Move the description up
- Remove details about the individual formatters

The previous documentation was inaccurate, stating that it would not update existing inputs. However these inputs will be updated if they are outdated (for example the version of an existing input has been changed). The new text properly reflects this behaviour.

If you have the Nix store mounted from a nonlocal filesystem whose
exporter is not running as root, making the directory mode 000 makes it
inaccessible to that remote unprivileged user and therefore breaks the
build. (Specifically, I am running into this with a virtiofs mount using
Apple Virtualization.framework as a non-root user, but I expect the
same thing would happen with virtiofs in qemu on Linux as a non-root
user or with various userspace network file servers.)
Make the directory mode 500 (dr-x------) to make the sandbox work in
this use case, which explicitly conveys our intention to read and search
the directory. The code only works because root can already bypass
directory checks, so this does not actually grant more permissions to
the directory owner / does not make the sandbox less secure.

Unfortunately `StringSource` class is very easy was very easy to misuse
because the ctor took a plain `std::string_view` which has a bad habit
of being implicitly convertible from an rvalue `std::string`. This lead
to unintentional use-after-free bugs.
This patch makes `StringSource` much harder to misuse by disabling the ctor
from a `std::string &&` (but `const std::string &` is ok).
Fix affected tests from libstore-tests.
Reformat those tests with clangd's range formatting since the diff is tiny
and it seems appropriate.
(cherry picked from commit 5bc8957c73)
This patch gets rid of UB when verbosity exceeds the maximum logging value of `lvlVomit = 7` and
reaches invalid values (e.g. 8). This is actually triggered in functional tests.
There are too many occurrences to list, but here's one from the UBSAN log:
../src/libstore/gc.cc:610:5: runtime error: load of value 8, which is not a valid value for type 'Verbosity'

The Determinate Nix Installer has set nosuid and noatime in https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/1338, and figured this perf and security improvement is worthy of upstreaming.
The /nix volume shouldn't have setuid binaries anyway, and filesystems seem to generally be noatime on macOS.
Further, the garbage collector doesn't use atime.
(cherry picked from commit 4137ead7a1)
Since networking is disabled in these VMs, trying to talk to the default
cache.nixos.org slows the test down (since it can't resolve it).
