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'

The Tracker was using direct callbacks to ipnlocal. This PR moves those
to be triggered via the eventbus.
Additionally, the eventbus is now closed on exit from tailscaled
explicitly, and health is now a SubSystem in tsd.

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.

This is temporary while we work to upstream performance work in
https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/pull/64. A replace directive
is less ideal as it breaks dependent code without duplication of the

Pull in the latest version of wireguard-windows.
Switch to upstream wireguard-go.
This requires reverting all of our import paths.
Unfortunately, this has to happen at the same time.
The wireguard-go change is very low risk,
as that commit matches our fork almost exactly.
(The only changes are import paths, CI files, and a go.mod entry.)
So if there are issues as a result of this commit,
the first place to look is wireguard-windows changes.

magicsock.Conn.ParseEndpoint requires a peer's public key,
disco key, and legacy ip/ports in order to do its job.
We currently accomplish that by:
* adding the public key in our wireguard-go fork
* encoding the disco key as magic hostname
* using a bespoke comma-separated encoding
It's a bit messy.
Instead, switch to something simpler: use a json-encoded struct
containing exactly the information we need, in the form we use it.
Our wireguard-go fork still adds the public key to the
address when it passes it to ParseEndpoint, but now the code
compensating for that is just a couple of simple, well-commented lines.
Once this commit is in, we can remove that part of the fork
and remove the compensating code.

On benchmark completion, we shut down the wgengine.
If we happen to poll for status during shutdown,
we get an "engine closing" error.
It doesn't hurt anything; ignore it.

Without any synchronization here, the "first packet" callback can
be delayed indefinitely, while other work continues.
Since the callback starts the benchmark timer, this could skew results.
Worse, if the benchmark manages to complete before the benchmark timer begins,
it'll cause a data race with the benchmark shutdown performed by package testing.
That is what is reported in #1881.
This is a bit unfortunate, in that it means that users of TrafficGen have
to be careful to keep this callback speedy and lightweight and to avoid deadlocks.

It is possible to get multiple status callbacks from an Engine.
We need to wait for at least one from each Engine.
Without limiting to one per Engine,
wait.Wait can exit early or can panic due to a negative counter.

This reduces the speed with which these benchmarks exhaust their supply fds.

For historical reasons, we ended up with two near-duplicate
copies of curve25519 key types, one in the wireguard-go module
(wgcfg) and one in the tailscale module (types/wgkey).
Then we moved wgcfg to the tailscale module.
We can now remove the wgcfg key type in favor of wgkey.

The old decay-based one took a while to converge. This new one (based
very loosely on TCP BBR) seems to converge quickly on what seems to be
the best speed.

This tries to generate traffic at a rate that will saturate the
receiver, without overdoing it, even in the event of packet loss. It's
unrealistically more aggressive than TCP (which will back off quickly
in case of packet loss) but less silly than a blind test that just
generates packets as fast as it can (which can cause all the CPU to be
absorbed by the transmitter, giving an incorrect impression of how much
capacity the total system has).
Initial indications are that a syscall about every 10 packets (TCP bulk
delivery) is roughly the same speed as sending every packet through a
channel. A syscall per packet is about 5x-10x slower than that.
The whole tailscale wireguard-go + magicsock + packet filter
combination is about 4x slower again, which is better than I thought
we'd do, but probably has room for improvement.
Note that in "full" tailscale, there is also a tundev read/write for
every packet, effectively doubling the syscall overhead per packet.
Given these numbers, it seems like read/write syscalls are only 25-40%
of the total CPU time used in tailscale proper, so we do have
significant non-syscall optimization work to do too.
