Subject: bug#30948: [PATCH core-updates] build-system/gnu: Turn PID 1 into an “init”-style process by default.
Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2023 21:23:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d5497ca9b8d069d31dc905ac2aedddcff2614792.1702844395.git.ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87lenvce8r.fsf@gnu.org>
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/30948>.
* guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm (separate-from-pid1): New procedure.
(%standard-phases): Add it.
* guix/build-system/gnu.scm (gnu-build): Add #:separate-from-pid1? and
honor it.

Hi!
This is a second attempt I’m currently testing as part of an
initially unrelated ‘core-updates’ series:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67824
The principle is simple: if the build process runs as PID 1, fork
so that PID 1 does nothing but call ‘waitpid’ in a loop while the
actual build process runs as PID 2.
This is simple and robust. The code is written in a defensive way
as an extra phase that can be disabled.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
