This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

In order to better manage per-profile data resources on the client, add methods
to the LocalBackend to support creation of per-profile directory structures in
local storage. These methods build on the existing TailscaleVarRoot config, and
have the same limitation (i.e., if no local storage is available, it will
report an error when used).
The immediate motivation is to support netmap caching, but we can also use this
mechanism for other per-profile resources including pending taildrop files and
Tailnet Lock authority caches.
This commit only adds the directory-management plumbing; later commits will
handle migrating taildrop, TKA, etc. to this mechanism, as well as caching
network maps.

This change allows tsnet nodes to act as Service hosts by adding a new
function, tsnet.Server.ListenService. Invoking this function will
advertise the node as a host for the Service and create a listener to
receive traffic for the Service.

This change adds API to ipn.LocalBackend to retrieve the ETag when
querying for the current serve config. This allows consumers of
ipn.LocalBackend.SetServeConfig to utilize the concurrency control
offered by ETags. Previous to this change, utilizing serve config ETags
required copying the local backend's internal ETag calcuation.
The local API server was previously copying the local backend's ETag
calculation as described above. With this change, the local API server
now uses the new ETag retrieval function instead. Serve config ETags are
therefore now opaque to clients, in line with best practices.

Both Serve and PeerAPI broke when we moved the TailscaleInterfaceName
into State, which is updated asynchronously and may not be
available when we configure the listeners.
This extracts the explicit interface name property from netmon.State
and adds as a static struct with getters that have proper error
handling.
The bug is only found in sandboxed Darwin clients, where we
need to know the Tailscale interface details in order to set up the
listeners correctly (they must bind to our interface explicitly to escape
the network sandboxing that is applied by NECP).
Currently set only sandboxed macOS and Plan9 set this but it will
also be useful on Windows to simplify interface filtering in netns.

although the in-memory store was not updated after renewal (to
avoid failing re-issuance for re-created Ingresses).

TPM-based features have been incredibly painful due to the heterogeneous
devices in the wild, and many situations in which the TPM "changes" (is
reset or replaced). All of this leads to a lot of customer issues.
We hoped to iron out all the kinks and get all users to benefit from
state encryption and hardware attestation without manually opting in,
but the long tail of kinks is just too long.
This change disables TPM-based features on Windows and Linux by default.
Node state should get auto-decrypted on update, and old attestation keys
will be removed.
There's also tailscaled-on-macOS, but it won't have a TPM or Keychain
bindings anyway.

An error returned by net.Listener.Accept() causes the owning http.Server to shut down.
With the deprecation of net.Error.Temporary(), there's no way for the http.Server to test
whether the returned error is temporary / retryable or not (see golang/go#66252).
Because of that, errors returned by (*safesocket.winIOPipeListener).Accept() cause the LocalAPI
server (aka ipnserver.Server) to shut down, and tailscaled process to exit.
While this might be acceptable in the case of non-recoverable errors, such as programmer errors,
we shouldn't shut down the entire tailscaled process for client- or connection-specific errors,
such as when we couldn't obtain the client's access token because the client attempts to connect
at the Anonymous impersonation level. Instead, the LocalAPI server should gracefully handle
these errors by denying access and returning a 401 Unauthorized to the client.
In tailscale/tscert#15, we fixed a known bug where Caddy and other apps using tscert would attempt
to connect at the Anonymous impersonation level and fail. However, we should also fix this on the tailscaled
side to prevent a potential DoS, where a local app could deliberately open the Tailscale LocalAPI named pipe
at the Anonymous impersonation level and cause tailscaled to exit.
In this PR, we defer token retrieval until (*WindowsClientConn).Token() is called and propagate the returned token
or error via ipnauth.GetConnIdentity() to ipnserver, which handles it the same way as other ipnauth-related errors.

In dynamically changing environments where ACME account keys and certs
are stored separately, it can happen that the account key would get
deleted (and recreated) between issuances. If that is the case,
we currently fail renewals and the only way to recover is for users
to delete certs.
This adds a config knob to allow opting out of the replaces extension
and utilizes it in the Kubernetes operator where there are known
user workflows that could end up with this edge case.

Addresses several older the TODO's in netmon. This removes the
Major flag precomputes the ChangeDelta state, rather than making
consumers of ChangeDeltas sort that out themselves. We're also seeing
a lot of ChangeDelta's being flagged as "Major" when they are
not interesting, triggering rebinds in wgengine that are not needed. This
cleans that up and adds a host of additional tests.
The dependencies are cleaned, notably removing dependency on netmon
itself for calculating what is interesting, and what is not. This includes letting
individual platforms set a bespoke global "IsInterestingInterface"
function. This is only used on Darwin.
RebindRequired now roughly follows how "Major" was historically
calculated but includes some additional checks for various
uninteresting events such as changes in interface addresses that
shouldn't trigger a rebind. This significantly reduces thrashing (by
roughly half on Darwin clients which switching between nics). The individual
values that we roll into RebindRequired are also exposed so that
components consuming netmap.ChangeDelta can ask more
targeted questions.

If a packet arrives while WireGuard is being reconfigured with b.mu held, such as during a profile switch,
calling back into (*LocalBackend).GetPeerAPIPort from (*Wrapper).filterPacketInboundFromWireGuard
may deadlock when it tries to acquire b.mu.
This occurs because a peer cannot be removed while an inbound packet is being processed.
The reconfig and profile switch wait for (*Peer).RoutineSequentialReceiver to return, but it never finishes
because GetPeerAPIPort needs b.mu, which the waiting goroutine already holds.
In this PR, we make peerAPIPorts a new syncs.AtomicValue field that is written with b.mu held
but can be read by GetPeerAPIPort without holding the mutex, which fixes the deadlock.
There might be other long-term ways to address the issue, such as moving peer API listeners
from LocalBackend to nodeBackend so they can be accessed without holding b.mu,
but these changes are too large and risky at this stage in the v1.92 release cycle.

Previously, callers of (*LocalBackend).resetControlClientLocked were supposed
to call Shutdown on the returned controlclient.Client after releasing b.mu.
In #17804, we started calling Shutdown while holding b.mu, which caused
deadlocks during profile switches due to the (*ExecQueue).RunSync implementation.
We first patched this in #18053 by calling Shutdown in a new goroutine,
which avoided the deadlocks but made TestStateMachine flaky because
the shutdown order was no longer guaranteed.
In #18070, we updated (*ExecQueue).RunSync to allow shutting down
the queue without waiting for RunSync to return. With that change,
shutting down the control client while holding b.mu became safe.
Therefore, this PR updates (*LocalBackend).resetControlClientLocked
to shut down the old client synchronously during the reset, instead of
returning it and shifting that responsibility to the callers.
This fixes the flaky tests and simplifies the code.

In suggestExitNodeLocked, if no exit node candidates have a home DERP or
valid location info, `bestCandidates` is an empty slice. This slice is
passed to `selectNode` (`randomNode` in prod):
```go func randomNode(nodes views.Slice[tailcfg.NodeView], …) tailcfg.NodeView {
…
return nodes.At(rand.IntN(nodes.Len()))
}
```
An empty slice becomes a call to `rand.IntN(0)`, which panics.
This patch changes the behaviour, so if we've filtered out all the
candidates before calling `selectNode`, reset the list and then pick
from any of the available candidates.
This patch also updates our tests to give us more coverage of `randomNode`,
so we can spot other potential issues.

In PR tailscale/corp#34401, the `traffic-steering` feature flag does
not automatically enable traffic steering for all nodes. Instead, an

node that they want opted-in.
For backwards compatibility with older clients, tailscale/corp#34401
strips out the `traffic-steering` node attribute if the feature flag
is not enabled, even if it is set in the policy file. This lets us
safely disable the feature flag.

These validations were previously performed in the CLI frontend. There
are two motivations for moving these to the local backend:
1. The backend controls synchronization around the relevant state, so
only the backend can guarantee many of these validations.
2. Doing these validations in the back-end avoids the need to repeat
them across every frontend (e.g. the CLI and tsnet).

Adds the ability to rotate discovery keys on running clients, needed for
testing upcoming disco key distribution changes.
Introduces key.DiscoKey, an atomic container for a disco private key,
public key, and the public key's ShortString, replacing the prior
separate atomic fields.
magicsock.Conn has a new RotateDiscoKey method, and access to this is
provided via localapi and a CLI debug command.
Note that this implementation is primarily for testing as it stands, and
regular use should likely introduce an additional mechanism that allows
the old key to be used for some time, to provide a seamless key rotation
rather than one that invalidates all sessions.
