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'

We cannot directly pass a flat domain name into NetUserGetInfo; we must
resolve the address of a domain controller first.
This PR implements the appropriate resolution mechanisms to do that, and
also exposes a couple of new utility APIs for future needs.
Fixes#12627

S4U logons do not automatically load the associated user profile. In this
PR we add UserProfile to handle that part. Windows docs indicate that
we should try to resolve a remote profile path when present, so we attempt
to do so when the local computer is joined to a domain.
Updates #12383

This PR is all about adding functionality that will enable the installer's
upgrade sequence to terminate processes belonging to the previous version,
and then subsequently restart instances belonging to the new version within
the session(s) corresponding to the processes that were killed.
There are multiple parts to this:
* We add support for the Restart Manager APIs, which allow us to query the
OS for a list of processes locking specific files;
* We add the RestartableProcess and RestartableProcesses types that query
additional information about the running processes that will allow us
to correctly restart them in the future. These types also provide the
ability to terminate the processes.
* We add the StartProcessInSession family of APIs that permit us to create
new processes within specific sessions. This is needed in order to
properly attach a new GUI process to the same RDP session and desktop that
its previously-terminated counterpart would have been running in.
* I tweaked the winutil token APIs again.
* A lot of this stuff is pretty hard to test without a very elaborate
harness, but I added a unit test for the most complicated part (though it
requires LocalSystem to run).

In order for the installer to restart the GUI correctly post-upgrade, we
need the GUI to be able to register its restart preferences.
This PR adds API support for doing so. I'm adding it to OSS so that it
is available should we need to do any such registrations on OSS binaries
in the future.

* We update wingoes to pick up new version information functionality
(See pe/version.go in the https://github.com/dblohm7/wingoes repo);
* We move the existing LogSupportInfo code (including necessary syscall
stubs) out of util/winutil into a new package, util/osdiag, and implement
the public LogSupportInfo function may be implemented for other platforms
as needed;
* We add a new reason argument to LogSupportInfo and wire that into
localapi's bugreport implementation;
* We add module information to the Windows implementation of LogSupportInfo
when reason indicates a bugreport. We enumerate all loaded modules in our
process, and for each one we gather debug, authenticode signature, and
version information.

In order to improve our ability to understand the state of policies and
registry settings when troubleshooting, we enumerate all values in all subkeys.
x/sys/windows does not already offer this, so we need to call RegEnumValue
directly.
For now we're just logging this during startup, however in a future PR I plan to
also trigger this code during a bugreport. I also want to log more than just
registry.

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>
I added new functions to winutil to obtain the state of a service and all
its depedencies, serialize them to JSON, and write them to a Logf.
When tstun.New returns a wrapped ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE, we know that wintun
installation failed. We then log the service graph rooted at "NetSetupSvc".
We are interested in that specific service because network devices will not
install if that service is not running.
