Jonathan Nobels 3e89068792 net/netmon, wgengine/userspace: purge ChangeDelta.Major and address TODOs (#17823)
updates tailscale/corp#33891

Addresses several older the TODO's in netmon.  This removes the 
Major flag precomputes the ChangeDelta state, rather than making
consumers of ChangeDeltas sort that out themselves.   We're also seeing
a lot of ChangeDelta's being flagged as "Major" when they are
not interesting, triggering rebinds in wgengine that are not needed.  This
cleans that up and adds a host of additional tests.

The dependencies are cleaned, notably removing dependency on netmon
itself for calculating what is interesting, and what is not.  This includes letting
individual platforms set a bespoke global "IsInterestingInterface"
function.  This is only used on Darwin.

RebindRequired now roughly follows how "Major" was historically
calculated but includes some additional checks for various
uninteresting events such as changes in interface addresses that
shouldn't trigger a rebind.  This significantly reduces thrashing (by
roughly half on Darwin clients which switching between nics).   The individual
values that we roll  into RebindRequired are also exposed so that
components consuming netmap.ChangeDelta can ask more
targeted questions.

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 1.25. (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.
