108a6be92a guix: Check for disk space availability before building (Carl Dong)
d7dec89091 guix: Remove dest if OUTDIR mv fails (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
There seems to be some corner cases that can be hit when guix scripts unexpectedly fail in the middle of operation, see: https://gnusha.org/bitcoin-builds/2021-05-24.log
- Perform an early disk space check for `guix-build`
- Overwrite existing output directory after a successful build (the existing one might be malformed), and cleanup output directory if the `mv` somehow fails

a58868d201 build: Makes rcc output always deterministic (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The Qt Resource Compiler ([rcc](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/rcc.html)) has a command-line option `--format-version` which has the [default value](https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/tools/rcc/main.cpp?h=5.12.10#n172) 2.
The only difference from `--format-version 1` is adding a [last modified timestamp](https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/tools/rcc/rcc.cpp?h=5.12.10#n207) to the output file ([credits](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21654#issuecomment-819198228) to **fanquake**). That, in turn, forces us to use `QT_RCC_SOURCE_DATE_OVERRIDE=1` to get deterministic builds (#13732).
This change makes rcc output always deterministic by using `--format-version 1` option that makes usage of the
`QT_RCC_SOURCE_DATE_OVERRIDE` needless.

Also it improves interaction with ccache:

Adds replacements for `gsign` and `gverify`.
Personally I'm not a big fan of using the word "sign" as it's been used to refer to both codesigning and GPG signing.

46b025e00d test: add new python linter to check file names and permissions (windsok)
6f6bb3ebc7 test: fix file permissions on various scripts (windsok)
Pull request description:
Adds a new python linter test which tests for correct filenames and file permissions in the repository.
Replaces the existing tests in the `test/lint/lint-filenames.sh` and `test/lint/lint-shebang.sh` linter tests, as well as adding some new and increased testing. This increased coverage is intended to catch issues such as in #21728 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16807/files#r345547050
Summary of tests:
* Checks every file in the repository against an allowed regexp to make sure only lowercase or uppercase alphanumerics (a-zA-Z0-9), underscores (_), hyphens (-), at (@) and dots (.) are used in repository filenames.
* Checks only source files (*.cpp, *.h, *.py, *.sh) against a stricter allowed regexp to make sure only lowercase alphanumerics (a-z0-9), underscores (_), hyphens (-) and dots (.) are used in source code filenames. Additionally there is an exception regexp for directories or files which are excepted from matching this regexp (This should replicate the existing `test/lint/lint-filenames.sh` test)
* Checks all files in the repository match an allowed executable or non-executable file permission octal. Additionally checks that for executable files, the file contains a shebang line.
* Checks that for executable `.py` and `.sh` files, the shebang line used matches an allowable list of shebangs (This should replicate the existing `test/lint/lint-shebang.sh` test)
* Checks every file that contains a shebang line to ensure it has an executable permission
Additionally updates the permissions on various files to comply with the new tests.

Pull request description:
This PR is a proof of concept for using [LIEF](https://github.com/lief-project/LIEF) for the PE and MACHO symbol and security checks. It replaces our current approach of manually parsing the output of `objdump` & `otool`. If the consensus is that using LIEF is ok, then I also plan on replacing [pixie.py](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/devtools/pixie.py), and using LIEF for all checks. LIEF for Linux is also currently blocked (on the next release, unless we want to build master) on one change for RISC-V that I [sent upstream](https://github.com/lief-project/LIEF/pull/562).
LIEF is seemingly well maintained, and is the basis for a number of other tools. It also has some very nice documentation; i.e the [Python API for ELF](https://lief.quarkslab.com/doc/latest/api/python/elf.html). It also has many builtins we can take advantage of. i.e [`is_pie`](https://lief.quarkslab.com/doc/latest/api/python/macho.html#lief.MachO.Binary.is_pie), [`has_nx`](https://lief.quarkslab.com/doc/latest/api/python/macho.html#lief.MachO.Binary.has_nx) etc. This means we can [consolidate some of our checks](9c5eeb5484). If/when end up using LIEF for lightning then we can consolidate further, and cleanup these scripts. i.e to not parse the binary inside the checks, but once at the start of the script.

We already attest to the relevant dist-archive in inputs.SHA256SUMS,
which is recorded at build-time.
We use a SKIPATTEST.TAG file to indicate output directories which do not
require attestation (much like the CACHEDIR.TAG specification).
Generally, it's better to have build scripts declare properties of
directories instead of introducing name-based special cases in attest
scripts since build scripts have a more detailed context of what is
going on.
At build/codesigning-time, hash build inputs and output the digest to
${OUTDIR}/inputs.SHA256SUMS, which gets included in the final SHA256SUMS
constructed by guix-attest.

While files are being output to $OUTDIR, it will be under
${DISTSRC}/output, and only when everything is done, will
${DISTSRC}/output be moved to the actual $OUTDIR.
This makes it so that a Ctrl-C in the middle of a build is less likely
to result in a partially-constructed $OUTDIR. In fact, if I understand
correctly, if $OUTDIR and $DISTSRC reside on the same filesystem, the
move (rename) is likely atomic.
Also, since the "working $OUTDIR" is under ${DISTSRC}/output, it will be
cleaned properly by the guix-clean script.
c799a19b4b build, qt: No longer need to set QT_RCC_TEST=1 for determinism (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The Qt Resource Compiler (rcc) output order relies on [`QHash`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qhash.html):
> This randomization of `QHash` is enabled by default. Even though programs should never depend on a particular `QHash` ordering, there may be situations where you temporarily need deterministic behavior, for example for debugging or regression testing. To disable the randomization, define the environment variable `QT_HASH_SEED` to have the value 0.
Since #3620 we use `QT_RCC_TEST=1` to achieve a deterministic output.
Since Qt 5.3.1 hash seeding is disabled for all of the bootstrapped tools, including rcc. Therefore, `QT_RCC_TEST=1` is no longer needed.

guix: Record precious directories and add guix-clean
Many users have reported problems that stem from having an unclean
working tree. To that end, I've written a guix-clean script which should
help reset the working tree while respecting user-specified precious
directories.
Precious directories, such as:
- SOURCES_PATH
- BASE_CACHE
- SDK_PATH
- OUTDIR
Should be preserved when cleaning the working tree, and are thus
recorded in ./contrib/guix/var/precious_dirs.
The ./contrib/guix/guix-clean script is able to parse that file and make
sure to avoid them when cleaning out the working tree.

By registering the container profiles as garbage collector roots, it
will prevent `guix gc` from garbage collecting derivations which our
container needs and inconvieniencing the user with a rebuild.

This relatively easy change eliminates all runtime dependencies (except
for the kernel) for dmg, which is the only native build tool that gets
put in our output tarballs.
This allows much more flexibility when constructing the codesigning
environment, and is much more robust.
./windeploy is a "working directory", and therefore belongs inside
distsrc-*. Many people have noticed their Guix builds failing after
hours simply because they did not remove windeploy (but did remove the
distsrc-* directories).
In Guix, there are two flags for controlling parallelism:
Note: When I say "derivation," think "package"
--cores=n
- controls the number of CPU cores to build each derivation. This is
the value passed to `make`'s `--jobs=` flag.
- defaults to 0: as many cores as is available
--max-jobs=n
- controls how many derivations can be built in parallel
- defaults to 1
Therefore, if set --max-jobs=$MAX_JOBS and don't set --cores, Guix could
theoretically spin up $MAX_JOBS * $(nproc) number of threads, and that's
no good.
So we could either default to --cores=1, --max-jobs=$MAX_JOBS
- Pro: --cores=1 means that `make` will be invoked with `-j1`,
avoiding problems with package whose build systems and test
suites break when running multi-threaded.
- Con: There will be times when only 1 or 2 derivations can be built
at a time, because the rest of the dependency graph all depend
on those 1 or 2 derivations. During these times, the machine
will be severely under-utilized.
or --cores=$MAX_JOBS, --max-jobs=1
- Pro: We don't encounter prolonged periods of
severe under-utilization mentioned above.
- Con: Many packages' build systems and test suites break when running
multi-threaded.
or --cores=1, --max-jobs=1 and let the user override with

Pull request description:
On bumping the time-machine:
```
A few changes which are useful for us:
1. 'gnu: cross-gcc-arguments: Enable 128 bit long double for POWER9.' is
now merged into master.
2. gnutls is bumped to 3.6.15 and the temporal test failure in
status-request-revoked is fixed. Note that this does not fix the case
where one has installed Guix v1.2.0 and is running a substitute-less
bootstrap build, since the `guix time-machine` command itself has a
dependency on gnutls v3.6.12 (the one with the broken test) and will
thus try to build it before attempting to jump forwards in time. This
does however, mean that those who build a version of Guix that also
contains this fix will not go backwards in time to build the broken
gnutls v3.6.12.
```
On bumping the rest:
```
Bump glibc and linux-headers to match those of our Gitian counterparts.
We also require a glibc >= 2.28 for the test-symbol-check scripts to
work properly.
The default BASE-GCC-FOR-LIBC also has to be bumped since glibc 2.31
requires a gcc >= 6.2
```

a6a1b106dc guix: only download sources for hosts being built (fanquake)
Pull request description:
For example, if a user is only interested in building for Linux, this saves downloading the macOS compiler and additional dependencies, which is meaningful on a slow/poor connection. This will result in a few additional `make` invocations, for the Linux hosts, however this is low overhead, and time-wise irrelevant in terms of the overall build.

The new time-machine commit is Guix v1.2.0 with a yet-unupstreamed patch
for NSIS.
A few important changes:
1. Guix switched back from using CPATH to C{,PLUS}_INCLUDE_PATH as the
way to indicate #include search paths.
2. GCC's library is now split into a separate output, whereas before it
was included in the default output. This means that our gcc toolchain
packages need to propagate that output.
3. A few package versions were bumped
When building nsis, if VERSION is not specified, it defaults to
cvs_version which is non-deterministic as it includes the current date.
This patches nsis to default to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it exists so that
nsis is reproducible.
Upstream change: https://github.com/kichik/nsis/pull/13
When using worktrees or submodules, you'll see a `.git' plain text file
at the root of your working tree instead of the usual `.git' directory.
This plain text file will point to the real GIT_DIR, under the
GIT_COMMON_DIR. From experimentation, the full GIT_COMMON_DIR is
required to exist for operations such as git-archive(1), so we expose it
as readonly inside the container.
