treewide: remove obsolete aligned allocation workarounds

[emilazy]

The first deliverable of my ~100‐commit branch cleaning up obsolete Darwin stuff. Still needs building, and a staging PR for the change to Node.js.

Things done

• Built on platform(s)
  • x86_64-linux
  • aarch64-linux
  • x86_64-darwin
  • aarch64-darwin
• For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
  • sandbox = relaxed
  • sandbox = true
• Tested, as applicable:
  • NixOS test(s) (look inside nixos/tests)
  • and/or package tests
  • or, for functions and "core" functionality, tests in lib/tests or pkgs/test
  • made sure NixOS tests are linked to the relevant packages
• Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
• Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• 25.05 Release Notes (or backporting 24.11 and 25.05 Release notes)
  • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
  • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
  • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
• Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

LGTM overall, are you still searching for more occurrences or anything before marking it ready?

[emilazy]

Waiting for nixpkgs-review to finish :)

[wolfgangwalther]

A rebase to latest master should clear the Eval / Tag job after #370857. I'd be interested in seeing the result for it, which maintainers are requested and which of them is failing.

[emilazy]

Will do, after I can get a nixpkgs-review through (it’s down to ~one remaining package but the community builder is overloaded right now).

silently skips his own, not so important, builds on the community builder...

It’s the Darwin one FWIW, the Linux one is idle :)

Yeah, I only use the darwin one, too. I build Linux stuff on my own machine.

@wolfgangwalther This showed up quite noisily on my open tab, though refreshing seems to coalesce it:

Yeah, odd. I saw the same thing briefly. Odd, because I've never seen this with ofborg. But could be because we have been doing a lot more reviewer requests here (~30) at once than we ever did with ofborg, which was limited to 10. We should do something about that, discussed in #366046 (comment)

[emilazy]

FWIW I always found the “pick a ~random subset of maintainers and ping them, drop all the rest” thing somewhat dubious. (But I don’t know if I have a better concrete proposal.)

Yeah... doing it one by one will generate that way but then GitHub cleans it up later.

According to hydra-check, all of the failures are already present on master except for mailpit, which the community builder fails to build in the same way even on master, even with the sandbox off. Go figure.
