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'

* k8s-operator,kube: removing enableSessionRecordings option. It seems
like it is going to create a confusing user experience and it's going to
be a very niche use case, so we have decided to defer this for now.

This commit modifies the k8s-operator's api proxy implementation to only
enable forwarding of api requests to tsrecorder when an environment
variable is set.
This new environment variable is named `TS_EXPERIMENTAL_KUBE_API_EVENTS`.

The serve code leaves it up to the system's DNS resolver and netstack to
figure out how to reach the proxy destination. Combined with k8s-proxy
running in userspace mode, this means we can't rely on MagicDNS being
available or tailnet IPs being routable. I'd like to implement that as a
feature for serve in userspace mode, but for now the safer fix to get
kube-apiserver ProxyGroups consistently working in all environments is to
switch to using localhost as the proxy target instead.
This has a small knock-on in the code that does WhoIs lookups, which now
needs to check the X-Forwarded-For header that serve populates to get
the correct tailnet IP to look up, because the request's remote address
will be loopback.

When kubectl starts an interactive attach session, it sends 2 resize
messages in quick succession. It seems that particularly in HTTP mode,
we often receive both of these WebSocket frames from the underlying
connection in a single read. However, our parser currently assumes 0-1
frames per read, and leaves the second frame in the read buffer until
the next read from the underlying connection. It doesn't take long after
that before we end up failing to skip a control message as we normally
should, and then we parse a control message as though it will have a
stream ID (part of the Kubernetes protocol) and error out.
Instead, we should keep parsing frames from the read buffer for as long
as we're able to parse complete frames, so this commit refactors the
messages parsing logic into a loop based on the contents of the read
buffer being non-empty.
k/k staging/src/k8s.io/kubectl/pkg/cmd/attach/attach.go for full
details of the resize messages.
There are at least a couple more multiple-frame read edge cases we
should handle, but this commit is very conservatively fixing a single
observed issue to make it a low-risk candidate for cherry picking.

Adds a new reconciler for ProxyGroups of type kube-apiserver that will
provision a Tailscale Service for each replica to advertise. Adds two
new condition types to the ProxyGroup, TailscaleServiceValid and
TailscaleServiceConfigured, to post updates on the state of that
reconciler in a way that's consistent with the service-pg reconciler.
The created Tailscale Service name is configurable via a new ProxyGroup
field spec.kubeAPISserver.ServiceName, which expects a string of the
form "svc:<dns-label>".
Lots of supporting changes were needed to implement this in a way that's
consistent with other operator workflows, including:
* Pulled containerboot's ensureServicesUnadvertised and certManager into
kube/ libraries to be shared with k8s-proxy. Use those in k8s-proxy to
aid Service cert sharing between replicas and graceful Service shutdown.
* For certManager, add an initial wait to the cert loop to wait until
the domain appears in the devices's netmap to avoid a guaranteed error
on the first issue attempt when it's quick to start.
* Made several methods in ingress-for-pg.go and svc-for-pg.go into
functions to share with the new reconciler
* Added a Resource struct to the owner refs stored in Tailscale Service
annotations to be able to distinguish between Ingress- and ProxyGroup-
based Services that need cleaning up in the Tailscale API.
* Added a ListVIPServices method to the internal tailscale client to aid
cleaning up orphaned Services
* Support for reading config from a kube Secret, and partial support for
config reloading, to prevent us having to force Pod restarts when
config changes.
* Fixed up the zap logger so it's possible to set debug log level.

Adds a new k8s-proxy command to convert operator's in-process proxy to
a separately deployable type of ProxyGroup: kube-apiserver. k8s-proxy
reads in a new config file written by the operator, modelled on tailscaled's
conffile but with some modifications to ensure multiple versions of the
config can co-exist within a file. This should make it much easier to
support reading that config file from a Kube Secret with a stable file name.
To avoid needing to give the operator ClusterRole{,Binding} permissions,
the helm chart now optionally deploys a new static ServiceAccount for
the API Server proxy to use if in auth mode.
Proxies deployed by kube-apiserver ProxyGroups currently work the same as
the operator's in-process proxy. They do not yet leverage Tailscale Services
for presenting a single HA DNS name.
