If the store is read only, return an error early.
This is bit of a compromise. Not all operations of the daemon need the store
as writable. For example, if hello package is built already `guix build hello`
could previously succeed even if store is RO.

* nix/libstore/local-store.cc
(makeStoreWritable): Rename to ensureStoreWritable.
(ensureStoreWritable): As non-root, check that the store is writable and if
not, throw an error.
(LocalStore::LocalStore): Use it.

* nix/libstore/local-store.hh: Rename makeStoreWritable to ensureStoreWritable.

<title>daemon: Attempt to map the “kvm” group inside the build user namespace.</title>
<updated>2025-10-16T13:14:37+00:00</updated>

<id>a92d98a7fa7d6a7f3c11643d2f725b618d05643f</id>
<content type='text'>
Fixes &lt;https://issues.guix.gnu.org/77862&gt;.

Previously, the ‘guix-daemon’ account (for unprivileged execution) would
typically have “kvm” as a supplementary group, but that group would not
be mapped in the build user namespace.  Consequently, attempts to
‘chown’ a file to that supplementary group would fail with EINVAL.

The test suites of Coreutils, Python, and Go (among others) exercise
this chown-to-supplementary-group behavior, so they would all fail when
started by the unprivileged ‘guix-daemon’ even though they succeed when
started by ‘guix-daemon’ running as root.

Thanks to keinflue &lt;keinflue@posteo.net&gt; and Reepca Russelstein
&lt;reepca@russelstein.xyz&gt; for helping out.

* nix/libstore/build.cc (initializeUserNamespace): Add ‘extraGIDs’ and
‘haveCapSetGID’ parameters.  Invoke ‘newgidmap’ when ‘extraGIDs’ is
non-empty and ‘haveCapSetGID’ is false.  Honor ‘extraGIDs’ when
‘haveCapSetGID’ is true.
(maxGroups, guestKVMGID): New variables.
(kvmGIDMapping): New function.
(DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Set ‘ctx.lockMountsMapAll’ in the
CLONE_NEWUSER case.  Pass ‘extraGIDs’ to ‘initializeUserNamespace’.
* tests/store.scm ("kvm GID is mapped"): New test.

&lt;reepca@russelstein.xyz&gt; for helping out.

* nix/libstore/build.cc (initializeUserNamespace): Add ‘extraGIDs’ and
‘haveCapSetGID’ parameters.  Invoke ‘newgidmap’ when ‘extraGIDs’ is
non-empty and ‘haveCapSetGID’ is false.  Honor ‘extraGIDs’ when
‘haveCapSetGID’ is true.
(maxGroups, guestKVMGID): New variables.
(kvmGIDMapping): New function.
(DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Set ‘ctx.lockMountsMapAll’ in the
CLONE_NEWUSER case.  Pass ‘extraGIDs’ to ‘initializeUserNamespace’.
* tests/store.scm ("kvm GID is mapped"): New test.
