James Tucker 60ad6a4c9b wgengine/magicsock,ipn,client/local,cmd/tailscale/cli: add active-endpoints debug introspection
Add a debug facility that reports, per peer, the active dataplane
endpoint state as seen by both magicsock and wireguard-go: magicsock's
bestAddr (including relay VNI), whether it is currently trusted, the
DERP fallback addr/home region, last send/recv (any and WireGuard-only)
activity, full-ping time, WireGuard-only/expired flags, and peer map
epAddr counts; plus whether a (lazily-created) wireguard-go peer
currently exists, the endpoint it currently holds (string form plus a
classification by concrete type: magicsock-managed vs other), and last
handshake time and rx/tx byte counters.

wireguard-go can end up holding a stale magicsock lazy endpoint as a
peer's TX endpoint, silently black-holing traffic (#20082). Debugging
that class of issue previously required manual log spelunking. This
surfaces the relevant state via a LocalAPI debug endpoint
(debug-active-endpoints), a c2n endpoint (/debug/active-endpoints), and
a CLI command (tailscale debug active-endpoints), so both humans and
tests can assert a client is in the expected dataplane state.

The wireguard-go side is read via device.LookupActivePeer and wgint
(which gains a mutex-guarded accessor for the peer's current
conn.Endpoint, layout-checked like its existing stats accessors)
rather than the UAPI text protocol, which we deliberately moved off of.
Endpoint classification is a type assertion via a new
magicsock.IsMagicsockEndpoint helper instead of string comparison.

Updates #20082

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
