Synapse 1.16.0rc2 (2020-07-02)
==============================
Synapse 1.16.0rc2 includes the security fixes released with Synapse 1.15.2.
Please see [below](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md#synapse-1152-2020-07-02) for more details.
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Update postgres image in example `docker-compose.yaml` to tag `12-alpine`. ([\#7696](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7696))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Add some metrics for inbound and outbound federation latencies: `synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time` and `synapse_event_processing_lag_by_event`. ([\#7771](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7771))
State res v2 across large data sets can be very CPU intensive, and if
all the relevant events are in the cache the algorithm will run from
start to finish within a single reactor tick. This can result in
blocking the reactor tick for several seconds, which can have major
repercussions on other requests.
To fix this we simply add the occaisonal `sleep(0)` during iterations to
yield execution until the next reactor tick. The aim is to only do this
for large data sets so that we don't impact otherwise quick resolutions.=
The aim here is to make it easier to reason about when streams are limited and when they're not, by moving the logic into the database functions themselves. This should mean we can kill of `db_query_to_update_function` function.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2431
Adds config option `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type`, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.
Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of `m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2` into a constant variable to eliminate typos ala https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7637
Based on #7637
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string
* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource
* use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
(giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)
* do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.
It looks like `user_device_resync` was ignoring cross-signing keys from the results received from the remote server. This patch fixes this, by processing these keys using the same process `_handle_signing_key_updates` does (and effectively factor that part out of that function).
Without this patch, if an error happens which isn't caught by `user_device_resync`, then `_maybe_retry_device_resync` would fail, without retrying the next users in the iteration. This patch fixes this so that it now only logs an error in this case.
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
Instead of doing a complicated dance of deleting and moving aliases one
by one, which sends a canonical alias update into the old room for each
one, lets do it all in one go.
This also changes the function to move *all* local alias events to the new
room, however that happens later on anyway.
When a call to `user_device_resync` fails, we don't currently mark the remote user's device list as out of sync, nor do we retry to sync it.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6776 introduced some code infrastructure to mark device lists as stale/out of sync.
This commit uses that code infrastructure to mark device lists as out of sync if processing an incoming device list update makes the device handler realise that the device list is out of sync, but we can't resync right now.
It also adds a looping call to retry all failed resync every 30s. This shouldn't cause too much spam in the logs as this commit also removes the "Failed to handle device list update for..." warning logs when catching `NotRetryingDestination`.
Fixes#7418

Documentation on setting up redis (#7446)
Rework UI Auth session validation for registration (#7455)
Fix errors from malformed log line (#7454)
Drop support for redis.dbid (#7450)
By persisting the user interactive authentication sessions to the database, this fixes
situations where a user hits different works throughout their auth session and also
allows sessions to persist through restarts of Synapse.
Long story short: if we're handling presence on the current worker, we shouldn't be sending USER_SYNC commands over replication.
In an attempt to figure out what is going on here, I ended up refactoring some bits of the presencehandler code, so the first 4 commits here are non-functional refactors to move this code slightly closer to sanity. (There's still plenty to do here :/). Suggest reviewing individual commits.
Fixes (I hope) #7257.

Fix and de-brittle remote result dict processing
Use query_user_devices instead, assume only master, self_signing key types

lint
Add comment explaining why this is useful
Only fetch master and self_signing key types
Fix log statements, docstrings
Remove extraneous items from remote query try/except
lint
Factor key retrieval out into a separate function
Send device updates, modeled after SigningKeyEduUpdater._handle_signing_key_updates
Update method docstring
* Pull Sentinel out of LoggingContext
... and drop a few unnecessary references to it
* Factor out LoggingContext.current_context
move `current_context` and `set_context` out to top-level functions.
Mostly this means that I can more easily trace what's actually referring to
LoggingContext, but I think it's generally neater.
* move copy-to-parent into `stop`
this really just makes `start` and `stop` more symetric. It also means that it
behaves correctly if you manually `set_log_context` rather than using the
context manager.
* Replace `LoggingContext.alive` with `finished`
Turn `alive` into `finished` and make it a bit better defined.
If an error happened while processing a SAML AuthN response, or a client
ends up doing a `GET` request to `/authn_response`, then render a
customisable error page rather than a confusing error.
When we get an invite over federation, store the room version in the rooms table.
The general idea here is that, when we pull the invite out again, we'll want to know what room_version it belongs to (so that we can later redact it if need be). So we need to store it somewhere...
This is intended as a precursor to storing room versions when we receive an
invite over federation, but has the happy side-effect of fixing #3374 at last.
In short: change the store_room with try/except to a proper upsert which
updates the right columns.
... and set it everywhere it's called.
while we're here, rename it for consistency with `check_user_in_room` (and to
help check that I haven't missed any instances)
* Reject device display names that are too long.
Too long is currently defined as 100 characters in length.
* Add a regression test for rejecting a too long device display name.
A lot of the things we log at INFO are now a bit superfluous, so lets
make them DEBUG logs to reduce the amount we log by default.

We were looking at the wrong event type (`m.room.encryption` vs
`m.room.encrypted`).
Also fixup the duplicate `EvenTypes` entries.
Introduced in #6776.
These are easier to work with than the strings and we normally have one around.
This fixes `FederationHander._persist_auth_tree` which was passing a
RoomVersion object into event_auth.check instead of a string.
Turns out that figuring out a remote user id for the SAML user isn't quite as obvious as it seems. Factor it out to the SamlMappingProvider so that it's easy to control.
* Port synapse.replication.tcp to async/await
* Newsfile
* Correctly document type of on_<FOO> functions as async
* Don't be overenthusiastic with the asyncing....
When figuring out which topological token to start a purge job at, we
need to do the following:
1. Figure out a timestamp before which events will be purged
2. Select the first stream ordering after that timestamp
3. Select info about the first event after that stream ordering
4. Build a topological token from that info
In some situations (e.g. quiet rooms with a short max_lifetime), there
might not be an event after the stream ordering at step 3, therefore we
abort the purge with the error `No event found`. To mitigate that, this
patch fetches the first event _before_ the stream ordering, instead of
after.
Currently we rely on `current_state_events` to figure out what rooms a
user was in and their last membership event in there. However, if the
server leaves the room then the table may be cleaned up and that
information is lost. So lets add a table that separately holds that
information.
