Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12083
Since we are now using the new `state_event_ids` parameter to do all of the heavy lifting.
We can remove any spots where we plumbed `auth_event_ids` just for MSC2716 things in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9247/files.
Removing `auth_event_ids` from following functions:
- `create_and_send_nonmember_event`
- `_local_membership_update`
- `update_membership`
- `update_membership_locked`
When we are processing a `/backfill` request from a remote server, exclude any
outliers from consideration early on. We can't return outliers anyway (since we
don't know the state at the outlier), and filtering them out earlier means that
we won't attempt to calulate the state for them.
This should speed up push rule calculations for rooms with large numbers of local users when the main push rule cache fails.

An error occured if a filter was supplied with `event_fields` which did not include
`unsigned`.
In that case, bundled aggregations are still added as the spec states it is allowed
for servers to add additional fields.
To handle cancellation, we ensure that `after_callback`s and
`exception_callback`s are always run, since the transaction will
complete on another thread regardless of cancellation.
We also wait until everything is done before releasing the
`CancelledError`, so that logging contexts won't get used after they
have been finished.

The unstable identifiers are still supported if the experimental configuration
flag is enabled. The unstable identifiers will be removed in a future release.
This is allowed per MSC2675, although the original implementation did
not allow for it and would return an empty chunk / not bundle aggregations.
The main thing to improve is that the various caches get cleared properly
when an event is redacted, and that edits must not leak if the original
event is redacted (as that would presumably leak something similar to
the original event content).
Since the object it returns is a ReplicationCommandHandler.
This is clean-up from adding support to Redis where the command handler
was added as an additional layer of abstraction from the TCP protocol.
* `@cached` can now take an `uncached_args` which is an iterable of names to not use in the cache key.

This field is only to be used in the Server-Server API, and not the

It’s just occurred to me that #12088 pulled in the “packaging” package (~=21.3). I pulled in the newest version I had at the time.
I only use it for packaging.requirements.Requirements. Which was added in packaging 16.1: https://github.com/pypa/packaging/releases/tag/16.1https://pkgs.org/download/python3-packaging suggests that the oldest version we care about is 17.1 in Ubuntu Bionic. So I think with this bound we're hunky dory.
If we locally generate a rejection for an invite received over federation, it
is stored as an outlier (because we probably don't have the state for the
room). However, currently we still generate a state group for it (even though
the state in that state group will be nonsense).
By setting the `outlier` param on `create_event`, we avoid the nonsensical
state.
I've argued in #11537 that poetry and tox don't cooperate well at the
moment. (See also #12119.) Therefore I'm pruning away bits of tox to make the transition to poetry easier. This change removes the commands for coverage.
We don't use coverage in anger at the moment. It shouldn't be too hard to add coverage as a dev-dependency and reintroduce this if we really want it.

I've tried to make this clearer. We start by working out which of

surprised that there wasn't an easier way to see which packages were
installed by a given extra.
I've pulled out the error messages into functions that deal with "is

different sets of requirements into one loop with a "must be instaled"

I hope you agree that this is clearer.
* Test cases
When we get a partial_state response from send_join, store information in the
database about it:
* store a record about the room as a whole having partial state, and stash the

* flag the join event itself as having partial state
* also, for any new events whose prev-events are partial-stated, note that
they will *also* be partial-stated.

* Move flake8's config to its own file
This is an endpoint that we have server-side support for, but no client-side support. It's going to be useful for resyncing partial-stated rooms, so let's introduce it.
msc3706 proposes changing the `/send_join` response:
> Any events returned within `state` can be omitted from `auth_chain`.
Currently, we rely on `m.room.create` being returned in `auth_chain`, but since
the `m.room.create` event must necessarily be part of the state, the above
change will break this.
In short, let's look for `m.room.create` in `state` rather than `auth_chain`.
For users with large accounts it is inefficient to calculate the set of
users they share a room with (and takes a lot of space in the cache).
Instead we can look at users whose devices have changed since the last
sync and check if they share a room with the syncing user.
When the server leaves a room the `get_rooms_for_user` cache is not
correctly invalidated for the remote users in the room. This means that
subsequent calls to `get_rooms_for_user` for the remote users would
incorrectly include the room (it shouldn't be included because the
server no longer knows anything about the room).
The driver for this is to stop Complement complaining about it, but as far as I can tell it was pointless and needed to go away anyway.
I'm a bit unclear about what exactly VOLUME does, but I think what it means is that, if you don't override it with an explicit -v argument, then docker run will create a temporary volume, and copy things into it. The temporary volume is then deleted when the container finishes.
That only sounds useful if your image has something to copy into it (otherwise you may as well just use the default root filesystem), and our image notably doesn't copy anything into /data.
So... this wasn't doing anything, except annoying Complement?
Splits the search code into a few logical functions instead of a single
unreadable function.
There are also a few additional changes for readability.
After refactoring it was clear to see there were some unused and
unnecessary variables, which were simplified.
If the latest event in a thread was edited than the original
event content was included in bundled aggregation for
threads instead of the edited event content.
* Make `get_auth_chain_ids` return a Set
It has a set internally, and a set is often useful where it gets used, so let's
avoid converting to an intermediate list.
* Minor refactors in `on_send_join_request`
A little bit of non-functional groundwork
* Implement MSC3706: partial state in /send_join response
This should reduce database usage when fetching bundled aggregations
as the number of individual queries (and round trips to the database) are
reduced.
If ther are more than 100 to-device messages pending for a device
`/sync` will only return the first 100, however the next batch token was
incorrectly calculated and so all other pending messages would be
dropped.
This is due to `txn.rowcount` only returning the number of rows that
*changed*, rather than the number *selected* in SQLite.
If we prepopulate the test homeserver with a key for a remote homeserver, we
can make federation requests to it without having to stub out the
authenticator. This has two advantages:
* means that what we are testing is closer to reality (ie, we now have
complete tests for the incoming-request-authorisation flow)
* some tests require that other objects be signed by the remote server (eg,
the event in `/send_join`), and doing that would require a whole separate
set of mocking out. It's much simpler just to use real keys.
This implements an allow list for content types for which Synapse will attempt URL preview. If a URL resolves to a resource with a content type which isn't in the list, the download will terminate immediately.
This makes sense given that Synapse would never successfully generate a URL preview for such files in the first place, and helps prevent issues with streaming media servers, such as #8302.

This should reduce database usage when fetching bundled aggregations
as the number of individual queries (and round trips to the database) are
reduced.
Part of the Tchap Synapse mainlining.
This allows modules to implement extra logic to figure out whether a given 3PID can be added to the local homeserver. In the Tchap use case, this will allow a Synapse module to interface with the custom endpoint /internal_info.
Since #11811 there has been general Complement flakiness around networking.
It seems like tests are hitting the wrong containers. In an effort to diagnose
the cause of this, as well as reduce its impact on this project, set the
parallelsim to 1 (no parallelism) when running tests.
If this fixes the flakiness then this indicates the cause and I can diagnose
this further. If this doesn't fix the flakiness then that implies some kind
of test pollution which also helps to diagnose this further.
The idea here is to set the parent span for incoming federation requests to the
*outgoing* span on the other end. That means that you can see (most of) the
full end-to-end flow when you have a process that includes federation requests.
However, in order not to lose information, we still want a link to the
`incoming-federation-request` span from the servlet, so we have to create
another span to do exactly that.
`start_active_span` was inconsistent as to whether it would activate the span
immediately, or wait for `scope.__enter__` to happen (it depended on whether
the current logcontext already had an associated scope). The inconsistency was
rather confusing if you were hoping to set up a couple of separate spans before
activating either.
Looking at the other implementations of opentracing `ScopeManager`s, the
intention is that it *should* be activated immediately, as the name
implies. Indeed, the idea is that you don't have to use the scope as a
contextmanager at all - you can just call `.close` on the result. Hence, our
cleanup has to happen in `.close` rather than `.__exit__`.
So, the main change here is to ensure that `start_active_span` does activate
the span, and that `scope.close()` does close the scope.
We also add some tests, which requires a `tracer` param so that we don't have
to rely on the global variable in unit tests.
The get_users_in_room and get_users_in_room_with_profiles
are now only invalidated when the membership of a room changes,
instead of during any state change in the room.
* Fix losing incoming EDUs if debug logging enabled
Fixes#11889. Homeservers should only be affected if the
`synapse.8631_debug` logger was enabled for DEBUG mode.
I am not sure if this merits a bugfix release: I think the logging can
be disabled in config if anyone is affected? But it is still pretty bad.
Only allow files which file size and content types match configured
limits to be set as avatar.
Most of the inspiration from the non-test code comes from matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#19
This is in the context of mainlining the Tchap fork of Synapse. Currently in Tchap usernames are derived from the user's email address (extracted from the UIA results, more specifically the m.login.email.identity step).
This change also exports the check_username method from the registration handler as part of the module API, so that a module can check if the username it's trying to generate is correct and doesn't conflict with an existing one, and fallback gracefully if not.
Co-authored-by: David Robertson <davidr@element.io>
This is some odds and ends found during the review of #11791
and while continuing to work in this code:
* Return attrs classes instead of dictionaries from some methods
to improve type safety.
* Call `get_bundled_aggregations` fewer times.
* Adds a missing assertion in the tests.
* Do not return empty bundled aggregations for an event (preferring
to not include the bundle at all, as the docstring states).
This is mostly motivated by the tchap use case, where usernames are automatically generated from the user's email address (in a way that allows figuring out the email address from the username). Therefore, it's an issue if we respond to requests on /register and /register/available with M_USER_IN_USE, because it can potentially leak email addresses (which include the user's real name and place of work).
This commit adds a flag to inhibit the M_USER_IN_USE errors that are raised both by /register/available, and when providing a username early into the registration process. This error will still be raised if the user completes the registration process but the username conflicts. This is particularly useful when using modules (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11790 adds a module callback to set the username of users at registration) or SSO, since they can ensure the username is unique.
More context is available in the PR that introduced this behaviour to synapse-dinsic: matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#48 - as well as the issue in the matrix-dinsic repo: matrix-org/matrix-dinsic#476
Similar to #11817.
In `_create_power_level_validator` we
- retrieve `validator`. This is a class implementing the
`jsonschema.protocols.Validator` interface. In other words,
`validator: Type[jsonschema.protocols.Validator]`.
- we then create an second validator class by modifying the original
`validator`. We return that class, which is also of type
`Type[jsonschema.protocols.Validator]`.
So the original annotation was incorrect: it claimed we were returning
an instance of jsonSchema.Draft7Validator, not the class (or a subclass)
itself. (Strictly speaking this is incorrect, because `POWER_LEVELS_SCHEMA`
isn't pinned to a particular version of JSON Schema. But there are other
complications with the type stubs if you try to fix this; I felt like
the change herein was a decent compromise that better expresses intent).
(I suspect/hope the typeshed project would welcome an effort to improve
the jsonschema stubs. Let's see if I get some spare time.)

* CI: run Complement on the VM, not inside Docker
This requires https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/289
We now run Complement on the VM instead of inside a Docker container.
This is to allow Complement to bind to any high-numbered port when it
starts up its own federation servers. We want to do this to allow for
more concurrency when running complement tests. Previously, Complement
only ever bound to `:8448` when running its own federation server. This
prevented multiple federation tests running at the same time as they would
fight each other on the port. This did however allow Complement to run
in Docker, as the host could just port forward `:8448` to allow homeserver
containers to communicate to Complement. Now that we are using random
ports however, we cannot use Docker to run Complement. This ends up
being a good thing because:
- Running Complement tests locally is closer to how they run in CI.
- Allows the `CI` env var to be removed in Complement.
- Slightly speeds up runs as we don't need to pull down the Complement
image prior to running tests. This assumes GHA caches actions sensibly.

The documentation says that in order to submit a pull request you have to run the linter and links to [Run the linters](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#run-the-linters). IMO "Run the linters" should explain that development dependencies are a pre-requisite.
I also included `pip install wheel` which I had to run inside my virtual environment on ubuntu before I `pip install -e ".[all,dev]"` would succeed.

PyNaCl's recent 1.5.0 release on PyPi includes arm64 wheels, which means our

amd64-only build.

I'm having a hard time tracking down what's going wrong in that issue.
In the reported example, I could see server A sending federation traffic
to server B and all was well. Yet B reports out-of-sync device updates
from A.
I couldn't see what was _in_ the events being sent from A to B. So I
have added some crude logging to track
- when we have updates to send to a remote HS
- the edus we actually accumulate to send
- when a federation transaction includes a device list update edu
- when such an EDU is received
This is a bit of a sledgehammer.
By scraping Open Graph information from the HTML even
when an autodiscovery endpoint is found. The results are
then combined to capture as much information as possible
from the page.
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
The existing implementation of the `python_twisted_reactor_tick_time` metric is pretty useless, because it *only*
measures the time taken to execute timed calls and callbacks from threads. That neglects everything that
happens off the back of I/O, which is obviously quite a lot for us.
To improve this, I've hooked into a different place in the reactor - in particular, where it calls `epoll`. That call is
the only place it should wait for something to happen - the rest of the loop *should* be quick.
I've also removed `python_twisted_reactor_pending_calls`, because I don't believe anyone ever looks at it, and
it's a nuisance to populate.
Always add state.room_id after the configurable ORDER BY. Otherwise,
for any sort, certain pages can contain results from
other pages. (Especially when sorting by creator, since there may
be many rooms by the same creator)

Rather than hooking into the reactor loop, just add a timed task that runs every 100 ms to do the garbage collection.
Part 1 of a quest to simplify the reactor monkey-patching.
Currently when puppeting another user, the user doing the puppeting is
tracked for client IPs and MAU (if configured).
When tracking MAU is important, it becomes necessary to be possible to
also track the client IPs and MAU of puppeted users. As an example a
client that manages user creation and creation of tokens via the Synapse
admin API, passing those tokens for the client to use.
This PR adds optional configuration to enable tracking of puppeted users
into monthly active users. The default behaviour stays the same.

By returning all of the m.space.child state of the space, not just
the first 50. The number of rooms returned is still capped at 50.
For the federation API this implies that the requesting server will
need to individually query for any other rooms it is not joined to.

When debugging a test it is sometimes useful to inspect the state of the

`_trial_temp/test.db` as our sqlite database. One can then use
`sqlite3 _trial_temp/test.db` and query to your heart's content.
The DB is destroyed and recreated between different test cases.

This makes the serialization of events synchronous (and it no
longer access the database), but we must manually calculate and
provide the bundled aggregations.
Overall this should cause no change in behavior, but is prep work
for other improvements.
Fixes minor discrepancies between the /hierarchy endpoint described
in MSC2946 and the implementation.
Note that the changes impact the stable and unstable /hierarchy and

* `process_remote_join`: stop flagging as outlier
The events are now flagged as outliers later on, by `_auth_and_persist_outliers`.
* `send_join`: remove `outlier=True`
The events created here are returned in the result of `send_join` to
`FederationHandler.do_invite_join`. From there they are passed into
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`, which passes them to
`_auth_and_persist_outliers`... which sets the `outlier` flag.
* `get_event_auth`: remove `outlier=True`
stop flagging the events returned by `get_event_auth` as outliers. This method
is only called by `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`, which passes the results
into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will flag them as outliers.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove `outlier=True`
we pass all the events into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will now flag
the events as outliers.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
This param is now never set to True, so we can remove it.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one`: remove unused `outlier` param
This is no longer set anywhere, so we can remove it.
* `get_pdu`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
... and chase it down into `get_pdu_from_destination_raw`.
* `event_from_pdu_json`: remove redundant `outlier` param
This is never set to `True`, so can be removed.
* changelog
* update docstring
* Fix AssertionErrors after purging events
If you purged a bunch of events from your database, and then restarted synapse
without receiving more events, then you would get a bunch of AssertionErrors on
restart.
This fixes the situation by rewinding the stream processors.
* `check-newsfragment`: ignore deleted newsfiles
Events returned by `backfill` should not be flagged as outliers.
Fixes:
```
AssertionError: null

* Push `get_room_{min,max_stream_ordering}` into StreamStore
Both implementations of this are identical, so we may as well push it down and
get rid of the abstract base class nonsense.
* Remove redundant `StreamStore` class
This is empty now
* Remove redundant `get_current_events_token`
This was an exact duplicate of `get_room_max_stream_ordering`, so let's get rid
of it.
* newsfile
* remove python 3.6 and postgres 9.6 from github workflow
* remove python 3.6 env from tox
* newsfragment
* correct postgres version
* add py310 to tox env list
* Wrap `auth.get_user_by_req` in an opentracing span
give `get_user_by_req` its own opentracing span, since it can result in a
non-trivial number of sub-spans which it is useful to group together.
This requires a bit of reorganisation because it also sets some tags (and may
force tracing) on the servlet span.
* Emit opentracing span for encoding json responses
This can be a significant time sink.
* Rename all sync spans with a prefix
* Write an opentracing span for encoding sync response
* opentracing span to group generate_room_entries
* opentracing spans within sync.encode_response
* changelog
* Use the `trace` decorator instead of context managers
This adds some opentracing annotations to ResponseCache, to make it easier to see what's going on; in particular, it adds a link back to the initial trace which is actually doing the work of generating the response.
* remove `start_active_span_from_request`
Instead, pull out a separate function, `span_context_from_request`, to extract
the parent span, which we can then pass into `start_active_span` as
normal. This seems to be clearer all round.
* Remove redundant tags from `incoming-federation-request`
These are all wrapped up inside a parent span generated in AsyncResource, so
there's no point duplicating all the tags that are set there.
* Leave request spans open until the request completes
It may take some time for the response to be encoded into JSON, and that JSON
to be streamed back to the client, and really we want that inside the top-level
span, so let's hand responsibility for closure to the SynapseRequest.
* opentracing logs for HTTP request events
* changelog
* Disable aggregation bundling on `/sync` responses
A partial revert of #11478. This turns out to have had a significant CPU impact
on initial-sync handling. For now, let's disable it, until we find a more
efficient way of achieving this.
* Fix tests.

A partial revert of #11478. This turns out to have had a significant CPU impact
on initial-sync handling. For now, let's disable it, until we find a more
efficient way of achieving this.
A couple of safety-checks to hopefully stop people doing what I just did, and create a storage
function which only works the first time it is called (and not when it is re-run due to a database
concurrency error or similar).
* Splits the logic for parsing HTML from the resource handling code.
* Fix a circular import in the oEmbed code (which uses the HTML parsing code).
* Renames some of the HTML parsing methods to:
* Make it clear which methods are "internal" to the module.
* Clarify what the methods do.
Create a new dict helper method `simple_insert_many_values_txn`, which takes
raw row values, rather than {key=>value} dicts. This saves us a bunch of dict
munging, and makes it easier to use generators rather than creating
intermediate lists and dicts.

After #10847, `looping_background_call` would print an error in the logs
every time a non-async function was called. Since the error would be
caught and ignored immediately, there were no other side effects.
Due to updates to MSC2675 this includes a few fixes:
* Include bundled aggregations for /sync.
* Do not include bundled aggregations for /initialSync and /events.
* Do not bundle aggregations for state events.
* Clarifies comments and variable names.
by calling into `make_test_homeserver_synchronous`.
The function *could* have been inlined at this point but the function is big enough
and it felt fine to leave it as is.
At least there isn't a confusing name clash anymore!
It had no users.
We have just taken the identity of a previous function but don't provide the same
behaviour, so we need to fix this in the next commit...
This mainly consists of docstrings and inline comments. There are one or two type annotations and variable renames thrown in while I was here.

When all entries in an `LruCache` have a size of 0 according to the
provided `size_callback`, and `drop_from_cache` is called on a cache
node, the node would be unlinked from the LRU linked list but remain in
the cache dictionary. An assertion would be later be tripped due to the
inconsistency.
Avoid unintentionally calling `__len__` and use a strict `is None`
check instead when unwrapping the weak reference.

- `_persist_events_and_state_updates` (added `use_negative_stream_ordering`)

- `_update_metadata_tables_txn`
- `_store_room_members_txn` (added `inhibit_local_membership_updates`)
Using keyword-only arguments (`*`) to reduce the mistakes from `backfilled` being left as a positional argument somewhere and being interpreted wrong by our new arguments.
Since e81fa92648, Synapse depends on
the use_float flag which has been introduced in ijson 3.1 and
is not available in 3.0. This is known to cause runtime errors

The previous fix for the ongoing event fetches counter
(8eec25a1d9) was both insufficient and
incorrect.
When the database is unreachable, `_do_fetch` never gets run and so
`_event_fetch_ongoing` is never decremented.
The previous fix also moved the `_event_fetch_ongoing` decrement outside
of the `_event_fetch_lock` which allowed race conditions to corrupt the
counter.
This change makes mypy complain if the constants are ever reassigned,
and, more usefully, makes mypy type them as `Literal`s instead of `str`s,
allowing code of the following form to pass mypy:
```py
def do_something(membership: Literal["join", "leave"], ...): ...
do_something(Membership.JOIN, ...)

Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
===========================
This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
Security advisory
-----------------
The following issue is fixed in 1.47.1.
- **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**
Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.
The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.
Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.
Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).
Instead of only known relation types. This also reworks the background
update for thread relations to crawl events and search for any relation
type, not just threaded relations.
If `room_list_publication_rules` was configured with a rule with a
non-wildcard alias and a room was created with an alias then an
internal server error would have been thrown.
This fixes the error and properly applies the publication rules
during room creation.
Fixes a bug introduced in #11129: objects signed by the local server, but with
keys other than the current one, could not be successfully verified.
We need to check the key id in the signature, and track down the right key.
* remove code legacy code related to deprecated config flag "trust_identity_server_for_password_resets" from synapse/config/emailconfig.py
* remove legacy code supporting depreciated config flag "trust_identity_server_for_password_resets" from synapse/config/registration.py
* remove legacy code supporting depreciated config flag "trust_identity_server_for_password_resets" from synapse/handlers/identity.py
* add tests to ensure config error is thrown and synapse refuses to start when depreciated config flag is found
* add changelog
* slightly change behavior to only check for deprecated flag if set to 'true'
* Update changelog.d/11333.misc

Adds validation to the Client-Server API to ensure that
the potential thread head does not relate to another event
already. This results in not allowing a thread to "fork" into
other threads.
If the target event is unknown for some reason (maybe it isn't
visible to your homeserver), but is the target of other events
it is assumed that the thread can be created from it. Otherwise,
it is rejected as an unknown event.
Otherwise I get this beautiful stacktrace:
```

* Make lock better handle process being killed
If the process gets killed and restarted (so that it didn't have a
chance to drop its locks gracefully) then there may still be locks in
the DB that are for the same instance that haven't yet timed out but are
safe to delete.
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.
* Periodically check for old staged events
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
fetched and requests would get stuck waiting for events.

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.

This specifically warned about the '$aregis...' part of the sed script.
Which is a relatively obscure use of sed.

Putting literal JSON in a variable mistakenly triggers these warnings.
Instead of adding ignore directives, this can be avoided by inlining the

Since the variable is only used in this one location, inlining is fine.

`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):

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.
Synapse 1.30.1 (2021-03-26)
===========================
This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception of explicitly
setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography library to ensure that users
of Synapse are protected from the recent [OpenSSL security advisories](https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2021-March/000198.html),
especially CVE-2021-3449.
Note that Cryptography defaults to bundling its own statically linked copy of
OpenSSL, which means that you may not be protected by your operating system's
security updates.
It's also worth noting that Cryptography no longer supports Python 3.5, so
admins deploying to older environments may not be protected against this or
future vulnerabilities. Synapse will be dropping support for Python 3.5 at the
end of March.
Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------
- Ensure that the docker container has up to date versions of openssl. ([\#9697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9697))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Enforce that `cryptography` dependency is up to date to ensure it has the most recent openssl patches. ([\#9697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9697))
We patched `matrix-org-hotfixes` a little while ago in #8675 to drop any cross-user key share requests while they were being accidentally spammed by a client. This was a temporary fix until we had some rate-limiting in place.
Rate-limiting landed in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8957. Note that the rate-limit can't be configured, but has what appear to be [sensible defaults](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/db2efa9c50569adbfab102b1f447f5a8312b95f3/synapse/config/ratelimiting.py#L105-L113).
Note that the original patch was already actually overridden partially when the rate-limit PR landed, as they conflicted. So we've already lifted the restriction between local devices on matrix.org, but requests were still blocked from being sent over federation. This PR cleans up the remaining bits.
This reverts commit d60af9305a.
Cross-user `m.key_share_requests` are a relatively new `to_device` message that allows user to re-request session keys for a message from another user if they were otherwise unable to retrieve them.
Unfortunately, these have had performance concerns on matrix.org. This is a temporary patch to disable them while we investigate a better solution.
This was added in 1c347c84bf/#7544 as a temporary optimisation. That was never
merged to develop, since it conflicted with #7492. The merge cf92310da forgot
to remove it.
This reverts b852a8247, 15b2a5081, 28889d8da.
I don't think these patches are required any more, and if they are, they should
be on mainline, not hidden in our hotfixes branch. Let's try backing them out:
if that turns out to be an error, we can PR them properly.
Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the
ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about,
i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the
pagination token.
This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer
get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly.
This is a bit of a hack, as `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` is intended
for attempting to pull an event from the database/(re)pull it from the
server that originally sent the event if checking the signature of the
event fails.
During backfill we *know* that we won't have the event in our database,
however it is still useful to be able to query the original sending
server as the server we're backfilling from may be acting maliciously.
The main benefit and reason for this change however is that
`_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` will drop an event during backfill if
it cannot be successfully validated, whereas the current code will
simply fail the backfill request - resulting in the client's /messages
request silently being dropped.
This is a quick patch to fix backfilling rooms that contain malformed
events. A better implementation in planned in future.

This was some hacky code (introduced in c10c71e70d) to make the presence stream
do nothing on hotfixes. We now ensure that no replication clients subscribe to
the presence stream, so this is redundant.
This got done on the develop branch in #4635, but the subsequent merge to
hotfixes (88af0317a) discarded the changes for some reason.
Fixing this here and now means (a) there are fewer differences between
matrix-org-hotfixes and develop, making future patches easier to merge, and (b)
fixes some pep8 errors on the hotfixes branch which have been annoying me for
some time.
Firstly: we want to do this in a better way, which is the intention of
too many RRs, which means we need to make it happen again.

By default, tests will use an in-memory SQLite database for test data. For additional
help with debugging, one can use an on-disk SQLite database file instead, in order to
review database state during and after running tests. This can be done by setting

Requires you to have a [Synapse development environment setup](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/development/contributing_guide.html#4-install-the-dependencies).
The demo setup allows running three federation Synapse servers, with server
names `localhost:8080`, `localhost:8081`, and `localhost:8082`.
You can access them via any Matrix client over HTTP at `localhost:8080`,
`localhost:8081`, and `localhost:8082` or over HTTPS at `localhost:8480`,
`localhost:8481`, and `localhost:8482`.
To enable the servers to communicate, self-signed SSL certificates are generated
and the servers are configured in a highly insecure way, including:
* Not checking certificates over federation.
* Not verifying keys.
The servers are configured to store their data under `demo/8080`, `demo/8081`, and
`demo/8082`. This includes configuration, logs, SQLite databases, and media.
Note that when joining a public room on a different HS via "#foo:bar.net", then
you are (in the current impl) joining a room with room_id "foo". This means that
it won't work if your HS already has a room with that name.
## Using the demo scripts
There's three main scripts with straightforward purposes:
* `start.sh` will start the Synapse servers, generating any missing configuration.
* This accepts a single parameter `--no-rate-limit` to "disable" rate limits
(they actually still exist, but are very high).
* `stop.sh` will stop the Synapse servers.
* `clean.sh` will delete the configuration, databases, log files, etc.
Called when a user attempts to register or log in with a third party identifier,
such as email. It is passed the medium (eg. `email`), an address (eg. `jdoe@example.com`)
and the user's password.
If the authentication is successful, the module must return the user's Matrix ID (e.g.
`@alice:example.com`) and optionally a callback to be called with the response to the `/login` request.
If the module doesn't wish to return a callback, it must return None instead.
If the authentication is unsuccessful, the module must return `None`.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `None`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return `None` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback. If every callback returns `None`,
the authentication is denied.
### `on_logged_out`
_First introduced in Synapse v1.46.0_
```python
async def on_logged_out(
user_id: str,
device_id: Optional[str],
access_token: str
) -> None
```
Called during a logout request for a user. It is passed the qualified user ID, the ID of the
deactivated device (if any: access tokens are occasionally created without an associated
device ID), and the (now deactivated) access token.
If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.
### `get_username_for_registration`
_First introduced in Synapse v1.52.0_
```python
async def get_username_for_registration(
uia_results: Dict[str, Any],
params: Dict[str, Any],
) -> Optional[str]
```
Called when registering a new user. The module can return a username to set for the user
being registered by returning it as a string, or `None` if it doesn't wish to force a
username for this user. If a username is returned, it will be used as the local part of a
user's full Matrix ID (e.g. it's `alice` in `@alice:example.com`).
This callback is called once [User-Interactive Authentication](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api)
has been completed by the user. It is not called when registering a user via SSO. It is
passed two dictionaries, which include the information that the user has provided during
the registration process.
The first dictionary contains the results of the [User-Interactive Authentication](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api)
flow followed by the user. Its keys are the identifiers of every step involved in the flow,
associated with either a boolean value indicating whether the step was correctly completed,
or additional information (e.g. email address, phone number...). A list of most existing
identifiers can be found in the [Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#authentication-types).
Here's an example featuring all currently supported keys:
```python
{
"m.login.dummy": True, # Dummy authentication
"m.login.terms": True, # User has accepted the terms of service for the homeserver
"m.login.recaptcha": True, # User has completed the recaptcha challenge
"m.login.email.identity": { # User has provided and verified an email address
"medium": "email",
"address": "alice@example.com",
"validated_at": 1642701357084,
},
"m.login.msisdn": { # User has provided and verified a phone number
"medium": "msisdn",
"address": "33123456789",
"validated_at": 1642701357084,
},
"m.login.registration_token": "sometoken", # User has registered through a registration token
}
```
The second dictionary contains the parameters provided by the user's client in the request
to `/_matrix/client/v3/register`. See the [Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3register)
for a complete list of these parameters.
If the module cannot, or does not wish to, generate a username for this user, it must
return `None`.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `None`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return `None` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback. If every callback returns `None`,
the username provided by the user is used, if any (otherwise one is automatically
generated).
### `get_displayname_for_registration`
_First introduced in Synapse v1.54.0_
```python
async def get_displayname_for_registration(
uia_results: Dict[str, Any],
params: Dict[str, Any],
) -> Optional[str]
```
Called when registering a new user. The module can return a display name to set for the
user being registered by returning it as a string, or `None` if it doesn't wish to force a
display name for this user.
This callback is called once [User-Interactive Authentication](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api)
has been completed by the user. It is not called when registering a user via SSO. It is
passed two dictionaries, which include the information that the user has provided during
the registration process. These dictionaries are identical to the ones passed to
[`get_username_for_registration`](#get_username_for_registration), so refer to the
documentation of this callback for more information about them.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `None`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return `None` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback. If every callback returns `None`,
the username will be used (e.g. `alice` if the user being registered is `@alice:example.com`).
Called when processing an invite via a third-party identifier (i.e. email or phone number).
The module must return a boolean indicating whether the invite can go through.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `True`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return `True` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.

```python
async def on_new_event(
event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
) -> None:
```
Called after sending an event into a room. The module is passed the event, as well
as the state of the room _after_ the event. This means that if the event is a state event,
it will be included in this state.
Note that this callback is called when the event has already been processed and stored
into the room, which means this callback cannot be used to deny persisting the event. To
deny an incoming event, see [`check_event_for_spam`](spam_checker_callbacks.md#check_event_for_spam) instead.

_First introduced in Synapse v1.55.0_
```python

Called when an admin user requests the shutdown of a room. The module must return a
boolean indicating whether the shutdown can go through. If the callback returns `False`,
the shutdown will not proceed and the caller will see a `M_FORBIDDEN` error.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `True`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return `True` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.
### `check_can_deactivate_user`
_First introduced in Synapse v1.55.0_
```python
async def check_can_deactivate_user(
user_id: str, by_admin: bool,
) -> bool:
```
Called when the deactivation of a user is requested. User deactivation can be
performed by an admin or the user themselves, so developers are encouraged to check the
requester when implementing this callback. The module must return a
boolean indicating whether the deactivation can go through. If the callback returns `False`,
the deactivation will not proceed and the caller will see a `M_FORBIDDEN` error.
The module is passed two parameters, `user_id` which is the ID of the user being deactivated, and `by_admin` which is `True` if the request is made by a serve admin, and `False` otherwise.
If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns `True`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return `True` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.
### `on_profile_update`
_First introduced in Synapse v1.54.0_
```python
async def on_profile_update(
user_id: str,
new_profile: "synapse.module_api.ProfileInfo",
by_admin: bool,
deactivation: bool,
) -> None:
```
Called after updating a local user's profile. The update can be triggered either by the
user themselves or a server admin. The update can also be triggered by a user being
deactivated (in which case their display name is set to an empty string (`""`) and the
avatar URL is set to `None`). The module is passed the Matrix ID of the user whose profile
has been updated, their new profile, as well as a `by_admin` boolean that is `True` if the
update was triggered by a server admin (and `False` otherwise), and a `deactivated`
boolean that is `True` if the update is a result of the user being deactivated.
Note that the `by_admin` boolean is also `True` if the profile change happens as a result
of the user logging in through Single Sign-On, or if a server admin updates their own
profile.
Per-room profile changes do not trigger this callback to be called. Synapse administrators
wishing this callback to be called on every profile change are encouraged to disable
per-room profiles globally using the `allow_per_room_profiles` configuration setting in
Synapse's configuration file.
This callback is not called when registering a user, even when setting it through the

## Summary of performance impact of running on resource constrained devices such as SBCs
I've been running my homeserver on a cubietruck at home now for some time and am often replying to statements like "you need loads of ram to join large rooms" with "it works fine for me". I thought it might be useful to curate a summary of the issues you're likely to run into to help as a scaling-down guide, maybe highlight these for development work or end up as documentation. It seems that once you get up to about 4x1.5GHz arm64 4GiB these issues are no longer a problem.
This is the main reason people have a poor matrix experience on resource constrained homeservers. Element web will frequently be saying the server is offline while the python process will be pegged at 100% cpu. This feature is used to tell when other users are active (have a client app in the foreground) and therefore more likely to respond, but requires a lot of network activity to maintain even when nobody is talking in a room.
While synapse does have some performance issues with presence [#3971](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3971), the fundamental problem is that this is an easy feature to implement for a centralised service at nearly no overhead, but federation makes it combinatorial [#8055](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8055). There is also a client-side config option which disables the UI and idle tracking [enable_presence_by_hs_url] to blacklist the largest instances but I didn't notice much difference, so I recommend disabling the feature entirely at the server level as well.
Joining a "large", federated room will initially fail with the below message in Element web, but waiting a while (10-60mins) and trying again will succeed without any issue. What counts as "large" is not message history, user count, connections to homeservers or even a simple count of the state events, it is instead how long the state resolution algorithm takes. However, each of those numbers are reasonable proxies, so we can use them as estimates since user count is one of the few things you see before joining.
This is [#1211](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1211) and will also hopefully be mitigated by peeking [matrix-org/matrix-doc#2753](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2753) so at least you don't need to wait for a join to complete before finding out if it's the kind of room you want. Note that you should first disable presence, otherwise it'll just make the situation worse [#3120](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3120). There is a lot of database interaction too, so make sure you've [migrated your data](../postgres.md) from the default sqlite to postgresql. Personally, I recommend patience - once the initial join is complete there's rarely any issues with actually interacting with the room, but if you like you can just block "large" rooms entirely.
### Sessions
Anything that requires modifying the device list [#7721](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7721) will take a while to propagate, again taking the client "Offline" until it's complete. This includes signing in and out, editing the public name and verifying e2ee. The main mitigation I recommend is to keep long-running sessions open e.g. by using Firefox SSB "Use this site in App mode" or Chromium PWA "Install Element".
### Recommended configuration
Put the below in a new file at /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/sbc.yaml to override the defaults in homeserver.yaml.
```
# Disable presence tracking, which is currently fairly resource intensive
# More info: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9478
use_presence: false
# Set a small complexity limit, preventing users from joining large rooms
# which may be resource-intensive to remain a part of.
#
# Note that this will not prevent users from joining smaller rooms that
# eventually become complex.
limit_remote_rooms:
enabled: true
complexity: 3.0
# Database configuration
database:
# Use postgres for the best performance
name: psycopg2
args:
user: matrix-synapse
# Generate a long, secure password using a password manager
password: hunter2
database: matrix-synapse
host: localhost
```
Currently the complexity is measured by [current_state_events / 500](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.20.1/synapse/storage/databases/main/events_worker.py#L986). You can find join times and your most complex rooms like this:
admin@homeserver:~$ sudo --user postgres psql matrix-synapse --command 'select canonical_alias, joined_members, current_state_events from room_stats_state natural join room_stats_current where canonical_alias is not null order by current_state_events desc fetch first 5 rows only'
# note: do not add a path (even a single /) after the port in `proxy_pass`,
# otherwise nginx will canonicalise the URI and cause signature verification
