* Make lock better handle process being killed
If the process gets killed and restarted (so that it didn't have a

We handle this case by a) checking if the current instance already has
taken out the lock, and b) if not then ignoring locks that are for the
same instance.

This is to protect against other instances dying and their locks timing
out.

When an event fetcher aborts due to an exception, `_event_fetch_ongoing`
must be decremented, otherwise the event fetcher would never be
replaced. If enough event fetchers were to fail, no more events would be

This is the final piece of the jigsaw for #9595. As with other changes before this one (eg #10771), we need to make sure that we auth the auth events in the right order, and actually check that their predecessors haven't been rejected.
To do this I've reused the existing code we use when persisting outliers elsewhere.
I've removed the code for attempting to fetch missing auth_events - the events should have been present in the send_join response, so the likely reason they are missing is that we couldn't verify them, so requesting them again is unlikely to help. Instead, we simply drop any state which relies on those auth events, as we do at a backwards-extremity. See also matrix-org/complement#216 for a test for this.
Expressions don't expand in single quotes, use double quotes for that.

`synapse.config.__main__` has the possibility to read a config item. This can be used to conveniently also validate the config is valid before trying to start Synapse.
The "read" command broke in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10916 as it now requires passing in "server.server_name" for example.
Also made the read command optional so one can just call this with just the confirm file reference and get a "Config parses OK" if things are ok.

* We only need to fetch users in private rooms
* Filter out `user_id` at the top
* Discard excluded users in the top loop
We weren't doing this in the "First, if they're our user" branch so this
is a bugfix.
* The caller must check that `user_id` is included
This is in the docstring. There are two call sites:
- one in `_handle_room_publicity_change`, which explicitly checks before calling;
- and another in `_handle_room_membership_event`, which returns early if
the user is excluded.
So this change is safe.
* Test joining a private room with an excluded user
* Tweak an existing test
* Changelog
* test docstring

If we find ourselves dealing with rejected events, we proably want to know
about it. Let's include it in the stringification of the event so that it gets
logged.
Currently, when we receive an event whose auth_events differ from those we expect, we state-resolve between the two state sets, and check that the event passes auth based on the resolved state.
This means that it's possible for us to accept events which don't pass auth at their declared auth_events (or where the auth events themselves were rejected), leading to problems down the line like #10083.
This change means we will:
* ignore any events where we cannot find the auth events
* reject any events whose auth events were rejected
* reject any events which do not pass auth at their declared auth_events.
Together with a whole raft of previous work, this is a partial fix to #9595.
Fixes#6643.
Based on #11009.
This fixes a bug where we would accept an event whose `auth_events` include
rejected events, if the rejected event was shadowed by another `auth_event`
with same `(type, state_key)`.
The approach is to pass a list of auth events into
`check_auth_rules_for_event` instead of a dict, which of course means updating
the call sites.
This is an extension of #10956.
Instead of triggering `__exit__` manually on the replication handler's
logging context, use it as a context manager so that there is an
`__enter__` call to balance the `__exit__`.
Found while working on the Gitter backfill script and noticed
it only happened after we sent 7 batches, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/merge_requests/2229#note_665906390
When there are more than 5 backward extremities for a given depth,
backfill will throw an error because we sliced the extremity list
to 5 but then try to iterate over the full list. This causes
us to look for state that we never fetched and we get a `KeyError`.
Before when calling `/messages` when there are more than 5 backward extremities:
```

```
Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch. This also helps for showing the appropriate avatar/displayname in Element and will work whenever `/messages` has one of the historical messages as the first message in the batch.
This does have the flaw where if you just insert a single historical event somewhere, it probably won't resolve the state correctly from `/messages` or `/context` since it will grab a non historical event above or below with resolved state which never included the historical state back then. For the same reasions, this also does not work in Element between the transition from actual messages to historical messages. In the Gitter case, this isn't really a problem since all of the historical messages are in one big lump at the beginning of the room.
For a future iteration, might be good to look at `/messages` and `/context` to additionally add the `state` for any historical messages in that batch.

How are the `state_groups` shared? To illustrate the `state_group` sharing, see this example:
**Before** (new `state_group` for every event 😬, very inefficient):

* Pull out `_handle_room_membership_event`
* Discard excluded users early
* Rearrange logic so the change is membership is effectively switched over. See PR for rationale.
The following scenarios would halt the user directory updater:
- user joins room
- user leaves room
- user present in room which switches from private to public, or vice versa.
for two classes of users:
- appservice senders
- users missing from the user table.
If this happened, the user directory would be stuck, unable to make forward progress.
Exclude both cases from the user directory, so that we ignore them.

The race allowed the current position to advance too far when stream IDs
are still being persisted.
This happened when it received a new stream ID from a remote write
between a new stream ID being allocated and it being added to the set of
unpersisted stream IDs.
Fixes#9424.
This reverts #11019 and structures the code a bit more like it was before #10985.
The global cache state must be reset before running the tests since other test
cases might have configured caching (and thus touched the global state).
Make `get_last_client_by_ip` return the same dictionary structure
regardless of whether the data has been persisted to the database.
This change will allow slightly cleaner type hints to be applied later
on.
This commit fixes two bugs to do with decorators not instrumenting
`ReplicationEndpoint`'s `send_request` correctly. There are two
decorators on `send_request`: Prometheus' `Gauge.track_inprogress()`
and Synapse's `opentracing.trace`.
`Gauge.track_inprogress()` does not have any support for async
functions when used as a decorator. Since async functions behave like
regular functions that return coroutines, only the creation of the
coroutine was covered by the metric and none of the actual body of
`send_request`.
`Gauge.track_inprogress()` returns a regular, non-async function
wrapping `send_request`, which is the source of the next bug.
The `opentracing.trace` decorator would normally handle async functions
correctly, but since the wrapped `send_request` is a non-async function,
the decorator ends up suffering from the same issue as
`Gauge.track_inprogress()`: the opentracing span only measures the
creation of the coroutine and none of the actual function body.
Using `Gauge.track_inprogress()` as a context manager instead of a
decorator resolves both bugs.
Updating mypy past version 0.9 means that third-party stubs are no-longer distributed with typeshed. See http://mypy-lang.blogspot.com/2021/06/mypy-0900-released.html for details.
We therefore pull in stub packages in setup.py
Additionally, some modules that we were previously ignoring import failures for now have stubs. So let's use them.
The rest of this change consists of fixups to make the newer mypy + stubs pass CI.

This splits apart `handle_new_user` into a function which adds an entry to the `user_directory` and a function which updates the room sharing tables. I plan to continue doing more of this kind of refactoring to clarify the implementation.
The shared ratelimit function was replaced with a dedicated
RequestRatelimiter class (accessible from the HomeServer
object).
Other properties were copied to each sub-class that inherited
from BaseHandler.
Use `PreserveLoggingContext()` to ensure that logging contexts are not
lost when exiting a read/write lock.
When exiting a read/write lock, callbacks on a `Deferred` are triggered
as a signal to any waiting coroutines. Any waiting coroutine that
becomes runnable is likely to follow the Synapse logging context rules
and will restore its own logging context, then either run to completion
or await another `Deferred`, resetting the logging context in the
process.
This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
Fix a long-standing bug where a batch of user directory changes would be
silently dropped if the server left a room early in the batch.

There are two steps to rebuilding the user directory:
1. a scan over rooms, followed by
2. a scan over local users.
The former reads avatars and display names from the `room_memberships`
table and therefore contains potentially private avatars and
display names. The latter reads from the the `profiles` table which only
contains public data; moreover it will overwrite any private profiles
that the rooms scan may have written to the user directory. This means
that the rebuild could leak private user while the rebuild was in
progress, only to later cover up the leaks once the rebuild had completed.
This change skips over local users when writing user_directory rows
when scanning rooms. Doing so means that it'll take longer for a rebuild
to make local users searchable, which is unfortunate. I think a future
PR can improve this by swapping the order of the two steps above. (And
indeed there's more to do here, e.g. copying from `profiles` without
going via Python.)
Small tidy-ups while I'm here:
* Remove duplicated code from test_initial. This was meant to be pulled into `purge_and_rebuild_user_dir`.
* Move `is_public` before updating sharing tables. No functional change; it's still before the first read of `is_public`.
* Don't bother creating a set from dict keys. Slightly nicer and makes the code simpler.

We correctly allowed using the MSC2716 batch endpoint for
the room creator in existing room versions but accidentally didn't track
the events because of a logic flaw.
This prevented you from connecting subsequent chunks together because it would
throw the unknown batch ID error.
We only want to process MSC2716 events when:
- The room version supports MSC2716
- Any room where the homeserver has the `msc2716_enabled` experimental feature enabled and the event is from the room creator
`_check_event_auth` is only called in two places, and only one of those sets
`send_on_behalf_of`. Warming the cache isn't really part of auth anyway, so
moving it out makes a lot more sense.
There's little point in doing a fancy state reconciliation dance if the event
itself is invalid.
Likewise, there's no point checking it again in `_check_for_soft_fail`.

Synapse 1.44.0rc3 (2021-10-04)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.40.0 where changing a user's display name or avatar in a restricted room would cause an authentication error. ([\#10933](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10933))
- Fix `/admin/whois/{user_id}` endpoint, which was broken in v1.44.0rc1. ([\#10968](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10968))
* Introduce `should_include_local_users_in_dir`
We exclude three kinds of local users from the user_directory tables. At
present we don't consistently exclude all three in the same places. This
commit introduces a new function to gather those exclusion conditions
together. Because we have to handle local and remote users in different
ways, I've made that function only consider the case of remote users.
It's the caller's responsibility to make the local versus remote
distinction clear and correct.
A test fixup is required. The test now hits a path which makes db
queries against the users table. The expected rows were missing, because
we were using a dummy user that hadn't actually been registered.
We also add new test cases to covert the exclusion logic.
----
By my reading this makes these changes:
* When an app service user registers or changes their profile, they will
_not_ be added to the user directory. (Previously only support and
deactivated users were excluded). This is consistent with the logic that
rebuilds the user directory. See also [the discussion
here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10914#discussion_r716859548).
* When rebuilding the directory, exclude support and disabled users from
room sharing tables. Previously only appservice users were excluded.
* Exclude all three categories of local users when rebuilding the
directory. Previously `_populate_user_directory_process_users` didn't do
any exclusion.

Broadly, the existing `event_auth.check` function has two parts:
* a validation section: checks that the event isn't too big, that it has the rught signatures, etc.
This bit is independent of the rest of the state in the room, and so need only be done once
for each event.
* an auth section: ensures that the event is allowed, given the rest of the state in the room.
This gets done multiple times, against various sets of room state, because it forms part of
the state res algorithm.
Currently, this is implemented with `do_sig_check` and `do_size_check` parameters, but I think
that makes everything hard to follow. Instead, we split the function in two and call each part
separately where it is needed.
