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'

updates tailscale/corp#33891
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.

Adds the eventbus to the router subsystem.
The event is currently only used on linux.
Also includes facilities to inject events into the bus.
Updates #15160
Signed-off-by: Claus Lensbøl <claus@tailscale.com>
We're using it in more and more places, and it's not really specific to
our use of Wireguard (and does more just link/interface monitoring).
Also removes the separate interface we had for it in sockstats -- it's
a small enough package (we already pull in all of its dependencies
via other paths) that it's not worth the extra complexity.

This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright
and license declaration. Notably, copyright no longer includes a date,
and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header.
This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then
some minimal manual fixes.

The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:
https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines
gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.
Done with:
perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')

Currently we ignore these interfaces in the darwin osMon but then would consider it
interesting when checking if anything had changed.

Ignoring the events at this layer is the simpler path for right now, a
broader change should follow to suppress irrelevant change events in a
higher layer so as to avoid related problems with other monitoring paths
on other platforms. This approach may also carry a small risk that it
applies an at-most-once invariant low in the chain that could be assumed
otherwise higher in the code.
I adjusted the newAddrMessage type to include interface index rather
than a label, as labels are not always supplied, and in particular on my
test hosts they were consistently missing for ipv6 address messages.
I adjusted the newAddrMessage.Addr field to be populated from
Attributes.Address rather than Attributes.Local, as again for ipv6
.Local was always empty, and with ipv4 the .Address and .Local contained
the same contents in each of my test environments.

While I trust the test behavior, I also want to assert the behavior in a
reproduction environment, this envknob gives me the log information I
need to do so.

The earlier 2ba36c294b started listening
for ip rule changes and only cared about DELRULE events, buts its subscription
included all rule events, including new ones, which meant we were then
catching our own ip rule creations and logging about how they were unknown.
Stop that log spam.

Not great, but lets people working on new ports get going more quickly
without having to do everything up front.
As the link monitor is getting used more, I felt bad having a useless

Never return "nil, nil" anymore. The caller expected a usable

Also, handle address deletion now.
