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'

This commit adds a new type to magicsock, epAddr, which largely ends up
replacing netip.AddrPort in packet I/O paths throughout, enabling
Geneve encapsulation over UDP awareness.
The conn.ReceiveFunc for UDP has been revamped to fix and more clearly
distinguish the different classes of packets we expect to receive: naked
STUN binding messages, naked disco, naked WireGuard, Geneve-encapsulated
disco, and Geneve-encapsulated WireGuard.
Prior to this commit, STUN matching logic in the RX path could swallow
a naked WireGuard packet if the keypair index, which is randomly
generated, happened to overlap with a subset of the STUN magic cookie.

Fragmented datagrams would be processed instead of being dumped right
away. In reality, thse datagrams would be dropped anyway later so there
should functionally not be any change. Additionally, the feature is off
by default.

Previously, despite what the commit said, we were using a raw IP socket
that was *not* an AF_PACKET socket, and thus was subject to the host
firewall rules. Switch to using a real AF_PACKET socket to actually get
the functionality we want.

This commit adds a batchingConn interface, and renames batchingUDPConn
to linuxBatchingConn. tryUpgradeToBatchingConn() may return a platform-
specific implementation of batchingConn. So far only a Linux
implementation of this interface exists, but this refactor is being
done in anticipation of a Windows implementation.

Don't assume Linux lacks UDP_GRO support if it lacks UDP_SEGMENT
support. This mirrors a similar change in wireguard/wireguard-go@177caa7
for consistency sake. We haven't found any issues here, just being
overly paranoid.

This commit implements UDP offloading for Linux. GSO size is passed to
and from the kernel via socket control messages. Support is probed at
runtime.
UDP GSO is dependent on checksum offload support on the egress netdev.
UDP GSO will be disabled in the event sendmmsg() returns EIO, which is
a strong signal that the egress netdev does not support checksum
offload.

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.

- At high data rates more buffer space is required in order to avoid
packet loss during any cause of delay.
- On slower machines more buffer space is required in order to avoid
packet loss while decryption & tun writing is underway.
- On higher latency network paths more buffer space is required in order
to overcome BDP.
- On Linux set with SO_*BUFFORCE to bypass net.core.{r,w}mem_max.
- 7MB is the current default maximum on macOS 12.6
- Windows test is omitted, as Windows does not support getsockopt for
these options.

Incoming disco packets are now dropped unless they match one of the
current bound ports, or have a zero port*.
The BPF filter passes all packets with a disco header to the raw packet
sockets regardless of destination port (in order to avoid needing to
reconfigure BPF on rebind).
If a BPF enabled node has just rebound, due to restart or rebind, it may
receive and reply to disco ping packets destined for ports other than
those which are presently bound. If the pong is accepted, the pinging
node will now assume that it can send WireGuard traffic to the pinged
port - such traffic will not reach the node as it is not destined for a
bound port.
*The zero port is ignored, if received. This is a speculative defense
and would indicate a problem in the receive path, or the BPF filter.
This condition is allowed to pass as it may enable traffic to flow,
however it will also enable problems with the same symptoms this patch
otherwise fixes.

This is entirely optional (i.e. failing in this code is non-fatal) and
only enabled on Linux for now. Additionally, this new behaviour can be
disabled by setting the TS_DEBUG_DISABLE_AF_PACKET environment variable.
