Brendan Creane a7cb5745a2 tstest/natlab/vmtest: add Fedora + DNS-backend coverage, harden non-KVM boot (#20409)
* tstest/natlab/vmtest: make cloud VM boot robust without KVM

Adding heavier distro images (Fedora) surfaced several ways the cloud VM
boot path breaks under TCG software emulation (no /dev/kvm), especially
with multiple concurrent VMs on few cores.

- Add a virtio-rng device to the cloud path so early boot doesn't block in
  getrandom() waiting for the CRNG to seed.
- When no hardware acceleration is available, relax the stuck-console
  watchdog (tuned for KVM's ~1-2s first output) and serialize VM boots so a
  heavy guest doesn't starve its siblings' emulation threads.
- Bound the bring-up context to the test deadline and dump each VM's console
  on failure, so a hang surfaces as a diagnosable Fatalf instead of an
  opaque `go test -timeout` panic (which skips cleanups).

* tstest/natlab/vmtest: add Fedora and DNS-backend test coverage

Add the first RHEL-family distro and the machinery to assert and provision
distinct DNS backends, so adding a distro isn't "basically equivalent" to
the others.

- Add a Fedora 43 image (NetworkManager + systemd-resolved, SELinux
  enforcing). restorecon-relabel the curl'd binaries so they exec under
  enforcing mode.
- Add DNSBackend/AssertDNSBackend, reading the dns_manager_linux_mode_*
  clientmetric to assert which backend tailscaled selected.
- Add a WithDNSMode node option. WithDNSMode(DNSDirect) masks
  systemd-resolved and writes a plain resolv.conf pointing at natlab's fake
  DNS, forcing the direct backend -- so one image covers multiple backends.

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.
