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'

Now cmd/derper doesn't depend on iptables, nftables, and netlink code :)
But this is really just a cleanup step I noticed on the way to making
tsnet applications able to not link all the OS router code which they
don't use.

In prep for most of the package funcs in net/interfaces to become
methods in a long-lived netmon.Monitor that can cache things. (Many
of the funcs are very heavy to call regularly, whereas the long-lived
netmon.Monitor can subscribe to things from the OS and remember
answers to questions it's asked regularly later)

This change is introducing new netfilterRunner interface and moving iptables manipulation to a lower leveled iptables runner.
For #391
Signed-off-by: KevinLiang10 <kevinliang@tailscale.com>
On some platforms (notably macOS and iOS) we look up the default
interface to bind outgoing connections to. This is both duplicated
work and results in logspam when the default interface is not available
(i.e. when a phone has no connectivity, we log an error and thus cause
more things that we will try to upload and fail).
Fixed by passing around a netmon.Monitor to more places, so that we can
use its cached interface state.

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.

The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:
https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines
gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.
Done with:
perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')

For debugging a macOS-specific magicsock issue. macOS runs in
bind-to-interface mode always. This lets me force Linux into the same
mode as macOS, even if the Linux kernel supports SO_MARK, as it
usually does.

With netns handling localhost now, existing tests no longer
need special handling. The tests set up their connections to
localhost, and the connections work without fuss.
Remove the special handling for tests.
Also remove the hostinfo.TestCase support, since this was
the only use of it. It can be added back later if really
needed, but it would be better to try to make tests work
without special cases.

netns_linux checked whether "ip rule" could run to determine
whether to use SO_MARK for network namespacing. However in
Linux environments which lack CAP_NET_ADMIN, such as various
container runtimes, the "ip rule" command succeeds but SO_MARK
fails due to lack of permission. SO_BINDTODEVICE would work in
these environments, but isn't tried.
In addition to running "ip rule" check directly whether SO_MARK
works or not. Among others, this allows Microsoft Azure App
Service and AWS App Runner to work.

Connections to a control server or log server on localhost,
used in a number of tests, are working right now because the
calls to SO_MARK in netns fail for non-root but then we ignore
the failure when running in tests.
Unfortunately that failure in SO_MARK also affects container
environments without CAP_NET_ADMIN, breaking Tailscale
connectivity. We're about to fix netns to recognize when SO_MARK
doesn't work and use SO_BINDTODEVICE instead. Doing so makes
tests fail, as their sockets now BINDTODEVICE of the default
route and cannot connect to localhost.
Add support to skip namespacing for localhost connections,
which Darwin and Windows already do. This is not conditional
on running within a test, if you tell tailscaled to connect
to localhost it will automatically use a non-namespaced
socket to do so.

It'll be called a bunch, so worth a bit of effort. Could go further, but not yet.
(really, should hook into wgengine/monitor and only re-read on netlink changes?)

We'll use SO_BINDTODEVICE instead of fancy policy routing. This has
some limitations: for example, we will route all traffic through the
interface that has the main "default" (0.0.0.0/0) route, so machines
that have multiple physical interfaces might have to go through DERP to
get to some peers. But machines with multiple physical interfaces are
very likely to have policy routing (ip rule) support anyway.
So far, the only OS I know of that needs this feature is ChromeOS
(crostini). Fixes#245.

tailscale netcheck was broken otherwise.
We can fix this a better way later; I'm just fixing a regression in
some way because I'm trying to work on netcheck at the moment.
This allows tailscaled's own traffic to bypass Tailscale-managed routes,
so that things like tailscale-provided default routes don't break
tailscaled itself.
Progress on #144.
