Claus Lensbøl 85bb5f84a5 wgengine/magicsock,control/controlclient: do not overwrite discokey with old key (#18606)
When a client starts up without being able to connect to control, it
sends its discoKey to other nodes it wants to communicate with over
TSMP. This disco key will be a newer key than the one control knows
about.

If the client that can connect to control gets a full netmap, ensure
that the disco key for the node not connected to control is not
overwritten with the stale key control knows about.

This is implemented through keeping track of mapSession and use that for
the discokey injection if it is available. This ensures that we are not
constantly resetting the wireguard connection when getting the wrong
keys from control.

This is implemented as:
 - If the key is received via TSMP:
   - Set lastSeen for the peer to now()
   - Set online for the peer to false
 - When processing new keys, only accept keys where either:
   - Peer is online
   - lastSeen is newer than existing last seen

If mapSession is not available, as in we are not yet connected to
control, punt down the disco key injection to magicsock.

Ideally, we will want to have mapSession be long lived at some point in
the near future so we only need to inject keys in one location and then
also use that for testing and loading the cache, but that is a yak for
another PR.

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.25. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
