Jonathan Nobels d8c7cafeda feature/exitnodehealth: warn when selected exit nodes are unavailable (#21017)
updates tailscale/corp#33007

When a selected exit node can't carry internet traffic due to a misconfiguration (wrong ID, node
deleted, routes removed, etc), blackhole default routes are installed and all internet traffic is dropped.
That is the correct behavior -- better to drop than leak to the local network -- but it was entirely silent:
the stable-ID lookup in nodeBackend.updateRouteManagerPrefs misses without a log line, and Status
leaves ExitNodeStatus nil. The user sees a healthy Tailscale with no internet. If an admin fat-fingers the
exit node name in an IT policy, for example, it's easy to break every node with zero feedback.

This adds an exit-node-unavailable health warning covering every way the selection can fail to carry
traffic (short of reachability which is a separate concern), reported via exitnodehealth.ArgExitNodeReason.

The warning names the exit node, caching its display name while it is still a peer so the name survives
its departure, and falls back to the stable ID or IP. When the selection is mandated by the ExitNodeID
or ExitNodeIP policy settings, the message tells the user to contact their network administrator instead
of suggesting they pick another exit node.

To test this, set a forced exit node policy with some random ip or node id. The warning has a 5 second
 threshold. It should clear as soon as you change to a proper exit node.

James Tucker 85c1efb466 net/{connreject,tstun},feature/connreject,wgengine,client/local: add connection-rejection diagnostics
Adds an opt-in, in-memory aggregator of recent connection-rejection
events (TSMP rejects received from peers, outbound TSMP rejects we emit
on ACL-blocked inbound flows, and pendopen timeouts) keyed by
(direction, proto, peer-address, reason). The aggregated data is exposed
over a new debug-rejects LocalAPI endpoint and a GET /debug/rejects c2n
endpoint, intended for future GUI/CLI consumption when diagnosing why a
connection failed.

Architecture:
 - net/connreject holds the data types and a per-LocalBackend
   Aggregator (LRU-bounded, default 256 entries on desktop / 32 on
   mobile, per direction).
 - feature/connreject is a self-registering ipnext.Extension that owns
   one Aggregator per LocalBackend, installs note callbacks on the
   tundev and engine, subscribes to OnSelfChange to flip the runtime
   gate, and serves the LocalAPI/c2n endpoints.
 - wgengine.Engine and *tstun.Wrapper each gain a SetConnRejectNote
   setter; data-plane sites use a single atomic.Pointer load + nil
   check, so the cost when no consumer is installed is one MOV.

Gating:
 - Compile-time: ts_omit_connreject build tag (standard
   feature/buildfeatures + condregister plumbing). Trims ~41 KB.
 - Runtime: nodecap.ConnReject node attribute, off by default
   at the control plane. May be removed once the feature is enabled
   by default.

Updates CapabilityVersion to 146 (clients understand nodecap.ConnReject
and can serve GET /debug/rejects).

Adds Proto/Src/Dst accessors on flowtrack.Tuple (used by pendopen to
construct events without exposing the tuple's internals to the
aggregator).

Brad Fitzpatrick aa2681ac5f net/dnscache, feature/dnsresolvecache: persist DNS resolutions to disk
Add a new modular dnsresolvecache feature that records every successful
DNS resolution from net/dnscache as a JSON file per hostname in
$statedir/dns-cache/, so a later boot with misconfigured DNS can still
find last-known-good IPs for critical hostnames like the control plane.
Files are rewritten only when their contents change, so a file's
modification time records when the answer last changed.

When regular DNS resolution fails, the disk cache is now consulted
before the DERP-based bootstrap DNS in net/dnsfallback. This is the
first step toward removing the DERP-based mechanism: new clientmetrics
(dnscache_disk_fallback_hit, dnscache_disk_fallback_miss,
dnscache_derp_fallback_ok, dnscache_derp_fallback_dial_ok) will tell us
when the DERP path no longer fires in the fleet and can be deleted.

The feature is linked into tailscaled by default (omittable with
ts_omit_dnsresolvecache) and is not included in tsnet.

Brad Fitzpatrick 60d9c54b6b feature/androidbin: make netmon and TLS work in raw binaries on Android
Android denies app UIDs both NETLINK_ROUTE (golang/go#40569, #2293)
and /proc/net, so net.Interfaces always fails and netmon.New errors
out before a standalone binary can do anything. The Android app solves
this from Java via netmon.RegisterInterfaceGetter, but raw binaries
run under Termux or a rooted shell have no Java to lean on. This is
the second half of #21129, following the androiddns feature.

I added a netmon fallback hook, consulted only when no interface
getter was registered and net.Interfaces failed, and a new androidbin
feature (ts_omit_androidbin) that implements it: report a single
synthetic interface whose v4 and v6 addresses come from asking the
kernel to route an outbound UDP socket, which sends no packets and is
permitted in the app sandbox. That's enough for magicsock to discover
local endpoints. The fallback also requires runtime evidence of
Android (GOOS=android, or /dev/__properties__ existing for GOOS=linux
binaries running under an Android kernel), so it's inert on regular
Linux.

The androidbin feature also blank imports androiddns, and fixes a
third gap I found while testing: GOOS=linux binaries on Android have
an empty CA root pool, because Go's unix root loader doesn't know
Android's /system/etc/security/cacerts (the GOOS=android loader
does), so all TLS verification fails. On Android it points
SSL_CERT_DIR there unless the user already set it, as Termux's
ca-certificates package does.

The feature is on by default in tailscaled builds on Linux and
Android via condregister, and deliberately not linked into tsnet by
default; tsnet apps and other programs opt in with a blank import of
tailscale.com/feature/androidbin.

I verified on an Android 13 emulator with SELinux enforcing, running
GOOS=linux static binaries under the app UID (run-as), where
net.Interfaces fails with the exact netlinkrib permission denial from
the issue: netmon.New succeeds with the synthetic interface, and a
tailcat binary importing this feature does DNS via dnsproxyd, fetches
its DERP map over TLS using the Android cert store, completes STUN,
selects a DERP region, and prints its address.

Brad Fitzpatrick 86b3cd5aa1 feature/androiddns: add dnsproxyd DNS resolution for standalone Android binaries
Android doesn't have /etc/resolv.conf. This causes problems for people
running GOOS=linux binaries (or GOOS=android binaries without cgo, so
they don't use Android's bionic libc) in Termux, adb shell, etc.
(Go binaries built with cgo use bionic on Android: golang/go#10714)

16 years ago when I was on the Android team I added a system-wide DNS
cache (dnsproxyd) and made bionic query that, so each Android app
wasn't doing its own DNS resolution. That interface was never meant to
be stable, and I thought that code would be surely dead by now 16
years later, but apparently it lives on, and is more stable now: both
empirically (time, ossification?), and because of how Android's split system
updates work nowadays, the dnsproxyd lives on the other side of bionic,
so they seem to keep it pretty stable. The old bionic<->dnsproxyd APIs
I added 16 years ago are still there, but 8 years ago it got some additional
APIs to query by a DNS packet instead.

So use it! If we find ourselves on Android and without libc access
(and because we don't want to pull in ebitengine/purego with all its
side effects), just query the DNS server like bionic does.

This can be disabled in Linux binaries with ts_omit_androiddns.

Back then I found it cleaner to proxy at the getaddrinfo level rather
than speak in terms of DNS packets. The raw-packet resnsend command I
use here came eight years later, added in November 2018 for Android
10's android_res_nsend NDK API:

  ("Add resNetworkSend cmd in DnsProxyListener")

Android 10 (codename Q, API level 29, released September 2019) is
therefore the minimum OS version for this to work.

I verified this against the DnsResolver module on an Android 13
emulator with SELinux enforcing, from the shell UID, with both a pure
Go GOOS=android binary and a static GOOS=linux binary: raw queries,
NXDOMAIN handling, the runtime Android detection, and a tailcat binary
reaching DERP with lookups visible in the daemon's logcat output, some
served from my 2010 DNS cache.

Will HannahandWill Hannah e1ffeeffba client,feature/favorites: add locally-pinned favorites (#20563)
Let clients pin favorite devices, exit nodes, and services so GUIs can
surface & change them. Pins are stored per login profile in the new
favorites feature module, keyed per category; devices and exit nodes by
StableNodeID, services by ServiceName.

The item types live in a leaf package feature/favorites/pintype,
keeping them out of the core ipn hierarchy. Each category has
its own type (pintype.Device, pintype.ExitNode, pintype.Service).

Exposed over LocalAPI at GET/POST /localapi/v0/pins, where POST replaces
only the categories named in the request so a client can update one
category without clobbering the others. Pins are local to the device and
are not synced across a user's devices.

M. J. Fromberger e592a0c363 staticcheck.conf: enable ST1000 to check package docs (#20787)
Fix the small number of existing violations of this check, and enable it for
future runs. The fixes needed were:

 - Clean up a few misspelled package names (probably renames).
 - Clean up a few lexical nits ("Package x" instead of "The x package").
 - Add lint directives to some files affected by build tag variance.
 - Add a missing package comment and re-generate the k8s docs.

The lint overrides are a little ugly, but there are only a few places where we
need them, and it's probably worthwhile to enable the check on the rest of the
repo. Rather than replicate the docs around the build tag, I made the lint
diagnotics reference the "correct" file.

Rollie Ma f4978b4b9b feature,client: add serviceclientprefs for desktop client service launch (#20501)
Add serviceclientprefs, an optional feature that stores and loads the
desktop clients' saved service launch preferences, one file per login
profile.

- Add GET|POST /localapi/v0/prefs/service-clients to load and save the
  current profile's service client prefs.
- Add local client GetServiceClientPrefs and SetServiceClientPref that
  call the new local api endpoint.
- Store the prefs with the ipn/store FileStore at
  TailscaleVarRoot()/profile-data/<profileID>/service-client-prefs/<hex-encoded-key>,
  so DeleteProfile cleans them up for free. Fall back to an in-memory
  store when there's no var root.
- Register the feature and its local api route from build tagged files
  so the whole thing drops out under ts_omit_serviceclientprefs.
- Add the serviceclient package holding Pref and Prefs (saved client,
  username, database name, and last used time), so the local api client
  and desktop apps can import the types without the feature machinery.

Brad Fitzpatrick 0433cc6929 feature/syslog, cmd/tailscaled, logpolicy: add optional --syslog flag
Add a new modular syslog feature providing a tailscaled --syslog flag
that sends the daemon's logs to the system syslog daemon instead of
stderr, which is useful when running as a daemon without a service
manager that captures stderr (e.g. OpenWrt's procd).

The feature package registers two new hooks: one to register its flag
before flag parsing, and one that tailscaled calls early in main to
redirect the standard library's default logger. Because logpolicy later
points the default logger at logtail, whose local console copy writes
to stderr, logpolicy now also consults the hook and sends its console
copy to the same sink (with timestamps disabled, as syslog records its
own).

The feature is linked by default only on Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD,
and can be removed with the ts_omit_syslog build tag. If connecting to
the syslog daemon fails at startup, tailscaled logs a warning and
continues logging to stderr.

Brad Fitzpatrick bb4f458207 feature/captiveportal: move captive portal code out of ipnlocal, netcheck
Captive portal detection was half-migrated: it had a build tag and
buildfeatures constant, but its code still lived in build-tag-gated
files in ipn/ipnlocal and net/netcheck, with its per-backend state
(context, cancel func, signaling channel) as fields on LocalBackend.

Move it under feature/captiveportal. The health-driven detection loop
becomes an ipnext.Extension holding its own state: it starts and
stops the loop from the BackendStateChange hook and subscribes to
health.Change events on the eventbus itself, removing the captive
portal hooks and special cases from LocalBackend entirely. The DERP
map now comes from a new ipnext.NodeBackend.DERPMap method, and the
preferred DERP region from magicsock's last netcheck report (the
same underlying source as the previously used Hostinfo.NetInfo).

The netcheck probe hook is now exported with a signature free of
netcheck internals, and its implementation moves to the small
feature/captiveportal/netcheckhook package, which installs the hook
as an import side effect. That package stays free of tsd/wgengine
dependencies so the tailscale CLI can keep probing for captive
portals in "tailscale netcheck" without linking the daemon-side
extension. The net/captivedetection library itself is unchanged and
stays put; after this change it is only linked when something pulls
in netcheckhook or the feature extension.

tailscaled links the feature by default via condregister as before,
but tsnet no longer does (shrinking tsnet, k8s-operator, and tsidp);
tsnet users who want it can blank-import the feature package, and
tsnet's dep test now locks that in.

Brad Fitzpatrick 3d07b5d6e1 wgengine,cmd/tailscaled,feature/bird: move BIRD integration to ./feature
The BIRD (BGP) integration previously lived half in cmd/tailscaled
(which created a chirp client via a build-tag-gated file on some
platforms) and half in wgengine (which carried the client in its
Config and toggled the "tailscale" protocol as the node gained or
lost primary subnet router duty).

Move it all to a new feature/bird package, installed on the engine
via the new wgengine.HookNewBird hook, like other feature/* packages.
wgengine.Config.BIRDClient (and the wgengine.BIRDClient interface)
are replaced by a BIRDSocket path from which the engine constructs
the feature's Bird handle at startup. The subnet router overlap
detection and protocol toggling move into feature/bird, preserving
the previous ordering: state is recomputed before Reconfig's
ErrNoChanges early return and applied after the router is configured.

tailscaled keeps BIRD support by default on the platforms that
previously had it (linux, darwin, freebsd, openbsd) via
feature/condregister.

Also, add an integration test, as this feature lacked much test
coverage previously.

Brad Fitzpatrick 692f84df8d wgengine,wgcfg,feature/netlog: move network flow logging behind a feature hook
wgcfg.Config.NetworkLogging carried the network flow logging identity
inside the WireGuard config, where it was unrelated to WireGuard; it
lived there mainly so that identity changes would defeat Reconfig's
ErrNoChanges check and reach the netlog startup/shutdown logic.

Remove the field and move the whole netlog lifecycle into a new
feature/netlog package, installed on the engine via the new
wgengine.HookNewNetLogger hook, like other feature/* packages. The
logging identity now comes from LocalBackend's current netmap via the
widened NetLogSource interface (replacing Engine.SetNetLogNodeSource),
so nmcfg no longer parses audit log IDs into the config. The engine
still calls the hook before its ErrNoChanges return and before
router.Set (to capture initial packets), and again after router.Set
(to capture final packets), preserving the previous ordering.

Core wgengine no longer imports wgengine/netlog, so minimal builds
drop it entirely. tailscaled keeps netlog via feature/condregister,
and tsnet imports feature/condregister/netlog explicitly to keep
netlog enabled by default in tsnet-based binaries (tsidp,
k8s-operator).

This is pulled out of a future change that removes wgcfg.Config.Peers,
to make that PR smaller.

Brad Fitzpatrick c1ae2bb1f8 cmd/tailscale, ipn, feature/remoteconfig: add remote-config support
Add a new Prefs.RemoteConfig bool. When true, a c2n endpoint at
/remoteapi/localapi/* proxies into this node's LocalAPI at
/localapi/* with full read/write permission, giving the tailnet
admin the same API surface a local root/admin user has via the
tailscale CLI. All LocalAPI versions (v0, v1, ...) proxy through.

RemoteConfig is an alternative to Tailscale's default per-feature
double opt-in, in which both the tailnet admin and the local machine
owner must consent to each individual setting change. It is a single
client-side "I trust the tailnet admin" switch that, once on, hands
over full remote management of this node's settings and LocalAPI
without any further local prompt or confirmation.

This is only appropriate when the tailnet admin already owns the
machine (e.g. a corporate fleet device) or the local user has
explicitly delegated full control. It should never be enabled on a
personal/BYOD device with an untrusted tailnet admin. The trust
model is documented on the pref, on the hidden --remote-config CLI
flag, and on the feature/remoteconfig package.

The node advertises its RemoteConfig state to the control plane via
a new Hostinfo.RemoteConfig bool. This is only true when the feature
is both compiled in (buildfeatures.HasRemoteConfig) and its init
actually ran (feature.IsRegistered("remoteconfig")); tsnet builds
have the former but not the latter and correctly report false.

The handler lives in feature/remoteconfig and can be omitted with the
ts_omit_remoteconfig build tag. tsnet's TestDeps guards against
accidentally pulling it in.

Brad Fitzpatrick f5eac39ea7 feature/acme, ipn/ipnlocal: start moving ACME/cert state into an extension
The ACME serialization mutex (acmeMu) was a package-level global, and
several ACME-related fields lived on LocalBackend even though the
cert code is conditional and not linked into every binary. With
multiple tsnet.Servers in one process (each its own LocalBackend),
a process-wide acmeMu also serialized unrelated backends.

Introduce a new feature/acme extension that owns the per-LocalBackend
ACME/cert state in an ipnlocal.CertState value:

  - acmeMu, renewMu, renewCertAt (previously package globals)
  - pendingACMETLSALPNCerts, pendingCertDomains{,Mu},
    getCertForTest, certRefreshCancel (previously LocalBackend
    fields, only meaningful when ACME was compiled in)

ipnlocal/cert.go now reaches the state through b.certState(), which
is routed by a feature.Hook installed at init by feature/acme. The
CertState type lives in ipnlocal so cert.go can access its fields
directly without a method explosion; the extension in feature/acme
constructs and owns it.

This is a baby step. The end goal is for the entire cert/ACME code
to live in feature/acme, with ipnlocal only retaining whatever thin
hooks the rest of LocalBackend needs to call into it. The current
split (CertState and most of cert.go in ipnlocal, extension wrapper
in feature/acme) is a deliberately temporary middle ground that
keeps this PR small while making the next moves mechanical.

The package is named feature/acme to match the existing HasACME /
ts_omit_acme naming. condregister/maybe_acme.go wires it in for
non-js builds.

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'

Jordan Whited 37f5fd2ec1 feature/{condregister,relayserver}: implement the skeleton for the relayserver feature (#15699)
This feature is "registered" as an ipnlocal.Extension, and
conditionally linked depending on GOOS and ts_omit_relayserver build
tag.

The feature is not linked on iOS in attempt to limit the impact to
binary size and resulting effect of pushing up against NetworkExtension
limits. Eventually we will want to support the relay server on iOS,
specifically on the Apple TV. Apple TVs are well-fitted to act as
underlay relay servers as they are effectively always-on servers.

This skeleton begins to tie a PeerAPI endpoint to a net/udprelay.Server.
The PeerAPI endpoint is currently no-op as
extension.shouldRunRelayServer() always returns false. Follow-up commits
will implement extension.shouldRunRelayServer().

Brad Fitzpatrick 1562a6f2f2 feature/*: make Wake-on-LAN conditional, start supporting modular features
This pulls out the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) code out into its own package
(feature/wakeonlan) that registers itself with various new hooks
around tailscaled.

Then a new build tag (ts_omit_wakeonlan) causes the package to not
even be linked in the binary.

Ohter new packages include:

   * feature: to just record which features are loaded. Future:
     dependencies between features.
   * feature/condregister: the package with all the build tags
     that tailscaled, tsnet, and the Tailscale Xcode project
     extension can empty (underscore) import to load features
     as a function of the defined build tags.

Future commits will move of our "ts_omit_foo" build tags into this
style.
