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 first packet fragment guard had an additional guard clause that was
incorrectly comparing a length in bytes to a length in octets, and was
also comparing what should have been an entire IPv4 through transport
header length to a subprotocol payload length. The subprotocol header
size guards were otherwise protecting against short transport headers,
as is the conservative non-first fragment minimum offset size. Add an
explicit disallowing of fragmentation for TSMP for the avoidance of
doubt.

We had the debug packet capture code + Lua dissector in the CLI + the
iOS app. Now we don't, with tests to lock it in.
As a bonus, tailscale.com/net/packet and tailscale.com/net/flowtrack
no longer appear in the CLI's binary either.
A new build tag ts_omit_capture disables the packet capture code and
was added to build_dist.sh's --extra-small mode.

Previously, despite what the commit said, we were using a raw IP socket
that was *not* an AF_PACKET socket, and thus was subject to the host
firewall rules. Switch to using a real AF_PACKET socket to actually get
the functionality we want.

- ICMP parameter problem in both IPv4 and IPv6 (corrupt headers)
- ICMP Packet Too Big (for IPv6 PMTU)

The current structure meant that we were embedding netstack in
the tailscale CLI and in the GUIs. This removes that by isolating
the checksum munging to a different pkg which is only called from
`net/tstun`.

Implements the ability for the address-rewriting code to support rewriting IPv6 addresses.
Specifically, UpdateSrcAddr & UpdateDstAddr.

Updates https://github.com/tailscale/corp/issues/11202
This adds support in tstun to utitilize the SelfNodeV4MasqAddrForThisPeer and
perform the necessary modifications to the packet as it passes through tstun.
Currently this only handles ICMP, UDP and TCP traffic.
Subnet routers and Exit Nodes are also unsupported.

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.
Updates #6865
Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>
01b90df2fa4f9101e4f0ae8334b00dd9c3ccc148 added SCTP support before
(with explicit parsing for ports) and
69de3bf7bfddb37b4c0e076c93115f82a51ec407 tried to add support for
arbitrary IP protocols (as long as the ACL permited a port of "*",
since we might not know how to find ports from an arbitrary IP
protocol, if it even has such a concept). But apparently that latter
commit wasn't tested end-to-end enough. It had a lot of tests, but the
tests made assumptions about layering that either weren't true, or
regressed since 1.20. Notably, it didn't remove the (*Filter).pre
bidirectional filter that dropped all "unknown" protocol packets both
leaving and entering, even if there were explicit protocol matches
allowing them in.
Also, don't map all unknown protocols to 0. Keep their IP protocol
number parsed so it's matchable by later layers. Only reject illegal
things.

The fragment offset is an 8 byte offset rather than a byte offset, so
the short packet limit is now in fragment block size in order to compare
with the offset value.
The packet flags are in the first 3 bits of the flags/frags byte, and
so after conversion to a uint16 little endian value they are at the
start, not the end of the value - the mask for extracting "more
fragments" is adjusted to match this byte.
Extremely short fragments less than 80 bytes are dropped, but fragments
over 80 bytes are now accepted.

This adds a new IP Protocol type, TSMP on protocol number 99 for
sending inter-tailscale messages over WireGuard, currently just for
why a peer rejects TCP SYNs (ACL rejection, shields up, and in the
future: nothing listening, something listening on that port but wrong
interface, etc)

The compiler is failing to draw the connection between
slice cap and slice len, so is missing some obvious BCE opportunities.
Give it a hint by making the cap equal to the length.
The generated code is smaller and cleaner, and a bit faster.
