Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 72ca0cae4b wgengine/wgcfg,wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal: remove Peers from wgcfg.Config
The wireguard-go device now learns its peer set solely from the live
per-peer config source that LocalBackend installs with
Engine.SetPeerConfigFunc, backed by the route manager. Peers are
created lazily on first packet and converged per peer with
Engine.SyncDevicePeer, so the full-peer-list snapshot in wgcfg.Config
and the diff-and-reconfigure machinery around it (wgcfg.Peer,
ReconfigDevice, and the engine's full device sync in
maybeReconfigWireguardLocked) are dead weight: they duplicated state
that the route manager already owns and forced every netmap change to
rebuild and rehash the entire peer list.

Delete the Peers field and the Peer type from wgcfg, along with
ReconfigDevice and maybeReconfigWireguardLocked. Engine.Reconfig no
longer does any device peer work; it only manages the private key,
addresses, and the non-peer subsystems. Full-netmap application converges the device by
syncing exactly the peers whose routes the route manager reports as
changed or removed.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick f0ce89b715 net/tstun,wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal: make tstun's peerConfigTable use RouteManager table
Previously tstun.Wrapper.SetWGConfig walked wgcfg.Config.Peers on every
netmap to rebuild its own IP-to-peer table for masquerade NAT rewrites
and jailed-peer classification. Now the tun layer instead consumes the
route manager's shared immutable outbound snapshot directly, via a new
Engine.SetPeerRoutes method: LocalBackend pushes the snapshot (plus this
node's native Tailscale addresses) after every route manager commit that
can change it, and per-packet lookups read the interned PeerRoute
attributes from that table.

When no current peer is jailed or masqueraded, LocalBackend installs a
nil table (gated on RouteManager.HasDataPlaneAttrs), preserving the
per-packet nil-check fast path. The exitNodeRequiresMasq machinery is
deleted: its purpose was populating the table with all peers so that
more-specific entries shadow an exit node's /0, and the always-full
route manager table gives that shadowing inherently.

This is the last step before removing the Peers field from wgcfg.Config.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 7e609b2581 ipn/ipnlocal,net/dns/resolver: serve MagicDNS names from live indexes
Every netmap change, including an incremental delta of a single peer,
rebuilt the full MagicDNS state twice: dnsConfigForNetmap walked all
peers to build the dns.Config.Hosts map, and resolver.SetConfig then
walked that map again to build its reverse (PTR) index. On a tailnet
with 10k peers that is a lot of garbage per delta.

Instead, add a resolver.MagicDNSHosts hook, installed once by
LocalBackend, that the quad-100 resolver consults on demand at query
time. It is backed by nodeBackend's nodeByName, nodeByAddr, and peers
indexes, which are already maintained incrementally as netmap deltas
arrive. The subdomain-resolve capability check also moves to the hook
(checking the node's CapMap at query time), so dns.Config's
SubdomainHosts is no longer populated.

dns.Config.Hosts remains for control's DNS.ExtraRecords, which are
few and which feed the split-DNS decisions in dns.Manager's
compileConfig, and on Windows it still carries every node's records
because the hosts-file fallback path (compileHostEntries) needs the
complete enumerable set. Those compileConfig decisions also consulted
the per-node Hosts entries (hasHostsWithoutSplitDNSRoutes), so a new
Config.MagicDNSHostsUnrouted bit preserves that signal now that node
records are not listed: with MagicDNS names present but MagicDNS
domain routing off, quad-100 stays in the OS resolver path.

One small behavior change: reverse (PTR) lookups now also answer for
node addresses whose forward records are filtered out by the
IPv6-suppression rule (issue #1152), since nodeByAddr indexes all node
addresses. Previously such addresses were absent from the pushed
Hosts map and thus from the reverse index.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick aff605d163 ipn/ipnlocal,wgengine: move disco-key change detection to nodeBackend
Engine.Reconfig previously diffed cfg.Peers disco keys against the
previous config to find restarted peers and flush their WireGuard
sessions, with a TSMP-learned-key map to suppress resets for key
changes that arrived over a working session. That was the last
per-peer state computed from wgcfg.Config.Peers inside the engine,
and it only ran on full reconfigs, so incremental netmap deltas
never got session resets at all.

Move the detection into nodeBackend, which sees every peer change:
full netmaps in SetNetMap and incremental upserts in
UpdateNetmapDelta both now report which peers changed disco keys,
with the same TSMP suppression and mismatch accounting as before.
LocalBackend acts on the result via a new Engine.ResetDevicePeer
method, which just removes the peer from the WireGuard device and
lets the peer lookup func lazily re-create it with fresh state.

LocalBackend.PatchDiscoKey now records TSMP-learned keys in
nodeBackend instead of forwarding to the engine, so the engine's
PatchDiscoKey method and tsmpLearnedDisco map are gone. The
controlclient patchDiscoKeyer interface becomes the exported
DiscoKeyUpdater so LocalBackend can compile-time assert that it
implements it, alongside its NetmapDeltaUpdater friends, replacing
the test that asserted the same of the engine.

This is one of the last steps toward removing Peers from wgcfg.Config.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 9cb1147805 wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal,tsnet,cmd/tailscaled: remove PeerForIP from the Engine interface
Engine.PeerForIP was pure delegation to the callback that LocalBackend
installs via SetPeerForIPFunc, so external callers going through the
engine were taking a pointless round trip: LocalBackend called
b.e.PeerForIP, which called right back into LocalBackend, and the
netstack UseNetstackForIP hooks in tsnet and tailscaled did the same
dance one layer removed.

Export LocalBackend.PeerForIP and make those callers use it directly.
The engine-internal cold paths (Ping, TSMP disco advertisements,
pendopen diagnostics) still need the lookup and have no netmap of
their own, so SetPeerForIPFunc stays on the interface, but the lookup
method itself is now unexported and gone from the Engine interface.
In tailscaled the UseNetstackForIP hook moves from netstack setup to
just after the LocalBackend is created, since the backend doesn't
exist yet when netstack is wired up.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 2506ede862 wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal: remove Engine.PeerKeyForIP and the engine's peer route table
The engine kept its own longest-prefix-match table (peerByIPRoute),
rebuilt from the full peer list on every reconfig, to route outbound
packets and answer PeerKeyForIP. That's now the route manager's job:
LocalBackend already installs a PeerByIPPacketFunc backed by the
RouteManager's incrementally-maintained outbound table, so the
engine's copy was redundant state with redundant O(n peers) rebuild
work.

Delete the table, the PeerKeyForIP interface method, and the BART-only
default callback. LocalBackend's peerForIP now queries the
RouteManager's outbound table directly for the subnet-route and
exit-node fallback. Engines running without a LocalBackend (such as
wgengine/bench) must install their own outbound peer lookup, since the
device's standard AllowedIPs trie only covers peers that already
exist and can't lazily create them.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick f831469c27 wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal: sync wireguard-go peers incrementally on netmap deltas
Previously, any peer added or removed by an incremental netmap delta
was only visible to wireguard-go after a full authReconfig: wgcfg's
ReconfigDevice re-installed a PeerLookupFunc closing over a freshly
built map of every peer's allowed IPs, doing O(n) work per change.

Instead, install the wireguard-go device hooks once, backed by live
state. Engine.SetPeerConfigFunc installs a single long-lived
PeerLookupFunc that queries LocalBackend's per-node RouteManager on
demand, and Engine.SyncDevicePeer does O(1) per-peer device sync
(remove, or update allowed IPs) as each delta mutation is applied.
Full reconfigs keep an O(n peers) device sync for now, but with no
lookup closure to reinstall and no removed-peer resurrection race; a
later change removes full-config peer syncing entirely.

The RouteManager's PeerAllowedIPs accessor backs the new hooks: its
sorted output makes unchanged state a no-op update, and its peer
filtering mirrors nmcfg.WGCfg, so expired peers and peers predating
both DERP and disco contribute no prefixes and thus cannot be lazily
created in the device, which matters because wireguard-go validates
inbound source IPs against per-peer allowed IPs.

The engine's SetPeerByIPPacketFunc callback is now authoritative when
installed, since LocalBackend's implementation covers subnet routes
and exit-node routes via the RouteManager's outbound table; the
engine's own reconfig-time BART table only serves engines running
without a LocalBackend.

The forced authReconfig on peer add/remove stays for now: the
WireGuard device no longer needs it, but OS routes, the quad-100
resolver's MagicDNS hosts map, and tstun's masquerade/jailed peer
config are still derived from the full peer set. Making those
delta-aware is the next step before gating it.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 18a95394df ipn/ipnlocal: shut down old control client before starting new one
LocalBackend.Start previously shut down the previous control client in
a goroutine, letting it run concurrently with the new one. An in-flight
lite map update carrying stale Hostinfo.RequestTags could then be
processed by the control plane after the new client had already changed
the node's tags. Control treats such a request as an invalid tag
transition and expires the node key to force a reauth, so retagging a
node with "tailscale up --advertise-tags" intermittently logged the
machine out.

Instead, detach the old client under b.mu and shut it down
synchronously with the lock released, before creating the new client.
Shutdown cancels the old client's in-flight requests and waits for its
goroutines to exit, so the cancellation of any stale update reaches the
server before the new client sends its first request. Per the deadlock
history in #18052, Shutdown must not be called with b.mu held; this
uses the same pattern as DisconnectControl.

Also teach the testcontrol server to model the control plane's tag
transition handling (including expiring the node key on an invalid
transition and ignoring updates from canceled requests), add an
integration test reproducing the race, and add an ipnlocal test
verifying that Start waits for the old client to shut down.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 692f84df8d wgengine,wgcfg,feature/netlog: move network flow logging behind a feature hook
wgcfg.Config.NetworkLogging carried the network flow logging identity
inside the WireGuard config, where it was unrelated to WireGuard; it
lived there mainly so that identity changes would defeat Reconfig's
ErrNoChanges check and reach the netlog startup/shutdown logic.

Remove the field and move the whole netlog lifecycle into a new
feature/netlog package, installed on the engine via the new
wgengine.HookNewNetLogger hook, like other feature/* packages. The
logging identity now comes from LocalBackend's current netmap via the
widened NetLogSource interface (replacing Engine.SetNetLogNodeSource),
so nmcfg no longer parses audit log IDs into the config. The engine
still calls the hook before its ErrNoChanges return and before
router.Set (to capture initial packets), and again after router.Set
(to capture final packets), preserving the previous ordering.

Core wgengine no longer imports wgengine/netlog, so minimal builds
drop it entirely. tailscaled keeps netlog via feature/condregister,
and tsnet imports feature/condregister/netlog explicitly to keep
netlog enabled by default in tsnet-based binaries (tsidp,
k8s-operator).

This is pulled out of a future change that removes wgcfg.Config.Peers,
to make that PR smaller.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 4bb6f35c1f ipn/ipnlocal: consolidate test-only LocalBackend methods behind ForTest
Move all the FooForTest methods on LocalBackend to instead be
methods on a new unexported forTest type which is then given out
to callers in other packages via an exported ForTest method
(panicking in non-test contexts) that returns that unexported type.

This is unusual style (exported returning unexported) but declutters
godoc and makes call sites both more explicit and easier to read
without the "ForTest" suffix polluting the symbols. Now FooForTest()
changes into ForTest().Foo().

This was motivated by a pending change moving a bunch of code out of
LocalBackend into other packages that required adding more ForTest
methods to LocalBackend to keep the tests (now in other packages)
working. Instead, do this refactor now so the future change is prettier.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick d4f2917c1b wgengine, ipn/ipnlocal: route PeerForIP through LocalBackend's live data
userspaceEngine.PeerForIP read from e.netMap.Peers and
e.lastCfgFull.Peers, both of which go stale when peers arrive via
netmap deltas (which skip Engine.SetNetworkMap and Engine.Reconfig).
Every PeerForIP caller (Engine.Ping, the TSMP disco-key handler,
pendopen diagnostics, tsdial.Dialer.UseNetstackForIP, and
LocalBackend.GetPeerEndpointChanges) would report "no matching peer"
for freshly-added peers.

Fix it the same way SetPeerByIPPacketFunc fixed the outbound packet
hot path: have LocalBackend install a callback that reads the live
nodeBackend. nb.NodeByAddr is built from both SelfNode and Peers
(updateNodeByAddrLocked), so a single lookup covers the common case
with IsSelf set when the matched node ID is SelfNode's. The subnet-
route / exit-node-default-route slow path goes through a new
Engine.PeerKeyForIP that exposes the engine's AllowedIPs BART table
(the same table the outbound packet hot path already consults, with
exit-node selection honored), and resolves the matched key back to a
NodeView via the live nodeBackend.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 8f210454dd wgengine/netlog: stop using netmap.NetworkMap type, use LocalBackend
The Logger previously took a *netmap.NetworkMap at Startup and on every
ReconfigNetworkMap call, denormalizing it into per-IP and self lookup
maps. That denormalization is O(n) over all peers and ran on every
netmap update, contributing to the broader quadratic behavior we want
to eliminate when a single peer is added or removed.

Instead, this makes netlog ask LocalBackend (well, nodeBackend) for
the info it needs, letting us remove the netmap.NetworkMap type
entirely from the netlog package.

Containerboot used to rebuild a full NetworkMap-shaped view while
reacting to IPN bus notifications. Now it insteads has its own
netmapState type (immutable) of exactly what it needs to track, and
sends those immutable values around, making cheap edits of new
immutable values when an IPN bus edit arrives.

Instead of computing a trimmed wireguard config ahead of time upon

For incoming packets, PeerLookupFunc answers wireguard-go's questions
about unknown public keys by looking up the peer in the full config.
For outgoing packets, PeerByIPPacketFunc (installed from
LocalBackend.lookupPeerByIP) maps destination IPs to node public keys
using the existing nodeByAddr index.

James 'zofrex' SandersonandGitHub ec86f0ff93 ipn/ipnlocal: make TestStateMachine less flaky (#19434)
TestStateMachine & TestStateMachineSeamless both flake a lot asserting the
"Shutdown" call on cc after a Logout. This is because Shutdown is called on
a goroutine to avoid a deadlock if it's called while holding the
LocalBackend lock (#18052).

This fixes that cause of flakes by waiting for LocalBackend's goroutine
tracker to have no goroutines running (so the goroutine that calls Shutdown
must have finished).

This does not make TestStateMachine non-flaky because it can flake later in
the test, too: the assertion on "unpause" after clearing the netmap between
"Start4" and "Start4 -> netmap" sometimes fails.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick dc1d811d48 magicsock, ipnlocal: revert eventbus-based node/filter updates, remove Synchronize hack
Restore synchronous method calls from LocalBackend to magicsock.Conn
for node views, filter, and delta mutations. The eventbus delivery
introduced in 8e6f63cf1 was invalid for these updates because
subsequent operations in the same call chain depend on magicsock
already having the current state. The Synchronize/settleEventBus
workaround was fragile and kept requiring more workarounds and
introducing new mystery bugs.

Since eventbus was added, we've since learned more about when to use
eventbus, and this wasn't one of the cases.

We can take another swing at using eventbus for netmap changes in a
future change.

Jonathan NobelsandGitHub 086968c15b net/dns, ipn/local: skip health warnings in dns forwarder when accept-dns is false (#18572)
fixes tailscale/tailscale#18436

Queries can still make their way to the forwarder when accept-dns is disabled.
Since we have not configured the forwarder if --accept-dns is false, this errors out
(correctly) but it also generates a persistent health warning.   This forwards the
Pref setting all the way through the stack to the forwarder so that we can be more
judicious about when we decide that the forward path is unintentionally missing, vs
simply not configured.

Testing:
tailscale set --accept-dns=false. (or from the GUI)
dig @100.100.100.100 example.com
tailscale status

No dns related health warnings should be surfaced.

Will NorrisandWill Norris 3ec5be3f51 all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it
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'

James 'zofrex' SandersonandGitHub cf40cf5ccb ipn/ipnlocal: add peer API endpoints to Hostinfo on initial client creation (#17851)
Previously we only set this when it updated, which was fine for the first
call to Start(), but after that point future updates would be skipped if
nothing had changed. If Start() was called again, it would wipe the peer API
endpoints and they wouldn't get added back again, breaking exit nodes (and
anything else requiring peer API to be advertised).

James TuckerandJames Tucker c09c95ef67 types/key,wgengine/magicsock,control/controlclient,ipn: add debug disco key rotation
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.

James TuckerandJames Tucker a96ef432cf control/controlclient,ipn/ipnlocal: replace State enum with boolean flags
Remove the State enum (StateNew, StateNotAuthenticated, etc.) from
controlclient and replace it with two explicit boolean fields:
- LoginFinished: indicates successful authentication
- Synced: indicates we've received at least one netmap

This makes the state more composable and easier to reason about, as
multiple conditions can be true independently rather than being
encoded in a single enum value.

The State enum was originally intended as the state machine for the
whole client, but that abstraction moved to ipn.Backend long ago.
This change continues moving away from the legacy state machine by
representing state as a combination of independent facts.

Also adds test helpers in ipnlocal that check independent, observable
facts (hasValidNetMap, needsLogin, etc.) rather than relying on
derived state enums, making tests more robust.

James 'zofrex' SandersonandGitHub eabc62a9dd ipn/ipnlocal: don't send LoginFinished unless auth was in progress (#17266)
Before we introduced seamless, the "blocked" state was used to track:

* Whether a login was required for connectivity, and therefore we should
  keep the engine deconfigured until that happened
* Whether authentication was in progress

"blocked" would stop authReconfig from running. We want this when a login is
required: if your key has expired we want to deconfigure the engine and keep
it down, so that you don't keep using exit nodes (which won't work because
your key has expired).

Taking the engine down while auth was in progress was undesirable, so we
don't do that with seamless renewal. However, not entering the "blocked"
state meant that we needed to change the logic for when to send
LoginFinished on the IPN bus after seeing StateAuthenticated from the
controlclient. Initially we changed the "if blocked" check to "if blocked or
seamless is enabled" which was correct in other places.

In this place however, it introduced a bug: we are sending LoginFinished
every time we see StateAuthenticated, which happens even on a down & up, or
a profile switch. This in turn made it harder for UI clients to track when
authentication is complete.

Instead we should only send it out if we were blocked (i.e. seamless is
disabled, or our key expired) or an auth was in progress.

7407f404d9 ipn/ipnlocal: fix setAuthURL / setWgengineStatus race condition (#17408)
If we received a wg engine status while processing an auth URL, there was a
race condition where the authURL could be reset to "" immediately after we
set it.

To fix this we need to check that we are moving from a non-Running state to
a Running state rather than always resetting the URL when we "move" into a
Running state even if that is the current state.

We also need to make sure that we do not return from stopEngineAndWait until
the engine is stopped: before, we would return as soon as we received any
engine status update, but that might have been an update already in-flight
before we asked the engine to stop. Now we wait until we see an update that
is indicative of a stopped engine, or we see that the engine is unblocked
again, which indicates that the engine stopped and then started again while
we were waiting before we checked the state.

With this change, policy enforcement and exit node resolution can happen in separate steps,
since enforcement no longer depends on resolving the suggested exit node. This keeps policy
enforcement synchronous (e.g., when switching profiles), while allowing exit node resolution
to be asynchronous on netmap updates, link changes, etc.

Additionally, the new preference will be used to let GUIs and CLIs switch back to "auto" mode
after a manual exit node override, which is necessary for tailscale/corp#29969.
