* Opentracing survival guide
* Update decorator names in doc
* Doc cleanup
These are all alterations as a result of comments in #5703, it
includes mostly typos and clarifications. The most interesting
changes are:
- Split developer and user docs into two sections
- Add a high level description of OpenTracing
* newsfile
* Move contributer specific info to docstring.
* Sample config.
* Trailing whitespace.
* Update 5703.misc
* Apply suggestions from code review
Mostly just rewording parts of the docs for clarity.

Clean up config settings and dead code.
This is mostly about cleaning up the config format, to bring it into line with our conventions. In particular:
* There should be a blank line after `## Section ##' headings
* There should be a blank line between each config setting
* There should be a `#`-only line between a comment and the setting it describes
* We don't really do the `# #` style commenting-out of whole sections if we can help it
* rename `tracer_enabled` to `enabled`
While we're here, do more config parsing upfront, which makes it easier to use
later on.
Also removes redundant code from LogContextScopeManager.
Also changes the changelog fragment to a `feature` - it's exciting!
* Convert BaseFederationServlet._wrap to async
Empirically, this fixes some lost stacktraces. It should be safe because the
wrapped function is called from JsonResource._async_render, which is already
async.
* Convert the rest of synapse.federation.transport.server to async
We may as well do the whole file while we're here.

* flake8
We can now use `_get_events_from_cache_or_db` rather than going right back to
the database, which means that (a) we can benefit from caching, and (b) it
opens the way forward to more extensive checks on the original event.
We now always require the original event to exist before we will serve up a
redaction.
Ensures that redactions are correctly authenticated for recent room versions.
There are a few things going on here:
* `_fetch_event_rows` is updated to return a dict rather than a list of rows.
* Rather than returning multiple copies of an event which was redacted
multiple times, it returns the redactions as a list within the dict.
* It also returns the actual rejection reason, rather than merely the fact
that it was rejected, so that we don't have to query the table again in
`_get_event_from_row`.
* The redaction handling is factored out of `_get_event_from_row`, and now
checks if any of the redactions are valid.
A couple of changes here:
* get rid of a redundant `allow_rejected` condition - we should already have filtered out any rejected
events before we get to that point in the code, and the redundancy is confusing. Instead, let's stick in
an assertion just to make double-sure we aren't leaking rejected events by mistake.
* factor out a `_get_events_from_cache_or_db` method, which is going to be important for a
forthcoming fix to redactions.
First of all, let's get rid of `TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_HTTP_STATUS`. It was a hack we
did at one point when it was possible to return either a 403 or a 401 if the
creds were missing. We always return a 401 in these cases now (thankfully), so
it's not needed.
Let's also stop abusing `AuthError` for these cases. Honestly they have nothing
that relates them to the other places that `AuthError` is used, other than the
fact that they are loosely under the 'Auth' banner. It makes no sense for them
to share exception classes.
Instead, let's add a couple of new exception classes: `InvalidClientTokenError`
and `MissingClientTokenError`, for the `M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN` and `M_MISSING_TOKEN`
cases respectively - and an `InvalidClientCredentialsError` base class for the
two of them.
* Configure and initialise tracer
Includes config options for the tracer and sets up JaegerClient.
* Scope manager using LogContexts
We piggy-back our tracer scopes by using log context.
The current log context gives us the current scope. If new scope is
created we create a stack of scopes in the context.
* jaeger is a dependency now
* Carrier inject and extraction for Twisted Headers
* Trace federation requests on the way in and out.
The span is created in _started_processing and closed in
_finished_processing because we need a meaningful log context.
* Create logcontext for new scope.
Instead of having a stack of scopes in a logcontext we create a new
context for a new scope if the current logcontext already has a scope.
* Remove scope from logcontext if logcontext is top level
* Disable tracer if not configured
* typo
* Remove dependence on jaeger internals
* bools
* Set service name

this is only used in one place, so it's clearer if we inline it and reduce the
API surface.
Also, fixes a buglet where we would create an access token even if we were
about to block the user (we would never return the AT, so the user could never
use it, but it was still created and added to the db.)
A fix for PR #5626, which returned the original event content as part of a call to /relations.
Only problem was that we were attempting to aggregate the relations on top of it when we did so. We now set bundle_aggregations to False in the get_event call.
We also do this when pulling the relation events as well, because edits of edits are not something we'd like to support here.
FederationDeniedError is a subclass of SynapseError, which is a subclass of
CodeMessageException, so if e is a FederationDeniedError, then this check for
FederationDeniedError will never be reached since it will be caught by the
check for CodeMessageException above. The check for CodeMessageException does
almost the same thing as this check (since FederationDeniedError initialises
with code=403 and msg="Federation denied with %s."), so may as well just keep
allowing it to handle this case.
When asking for the relations of an event, include the original event in the response. This will mostly be used for efficiently showing edit history, but could be useful in other circumstances.
Nothing uses this now, so we can remove the dead code, and clean up the
API.
Since we're changing the shape of the return value anyway, we take the
opportunity to give the method a better name.
When a user creates an account and the 'require_auth_for_profile_requests' config flag is set, and a client that performed the registration wants to lookup the newly-created profile, the request will be denied because the user doesn't share a room with themselves yet.
This has never been documented, and I'm not sure it's ever been used outside
sytest.
It's quite a lot of poorly-maintained code, so I'd like to get rid of it.
For now I haven't removed the database table; I suggest we leave that for a
future clearout.
- Put the default window_size back to 1000ms (broken by #5181)
- Make the `rc_federation` config actually do something
- fix an off-by-one error in the 'concurrent' limit
- Avoid creating an unused `_PerHostRatelimiter` object for every single
incoming request
The runtime errors that dealt with local email password resets talked about config options that users may not even have in their config file yet (if upgrading). Instead, the cryptic errors are now replaced with hopefully much more helpful ones.

This would cause emails being sent, but Synapse responding with a 429 when creating the event. The client would then retry, and with bad timing the same scenario would happen again. Some testing I did ended up sending me 10 emails for one single invite because of this.
When a client asks for users whose devices have changed since a token we
used to pull *all* users from the database since the token, which could
easily be thousands of rows for old tokens.
This PR changes this to only check for changes for users the client is
actually interested in.
Fixes#5553
Closes#4583
Does slightly less than #5045, which prevented a room from being upgraded multiple times, one after another. This PR still allows that, but just prevents two from happening at the same time.
Mostly just to mitigate the fact that servers are slow and it can take a moment for the room upgrade to actually complete. We don't want people sending another request to upgrade the room when really they just thought the first didn't go through.
If no `from` param is specified we calculate and use the "current
token" that inlcuded typing, presence, etc. These are unused during
pagination and are not available on workers, so we simply don't
calculate them.

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5431
`jinja2` was being imported even when it wasn't strictly necessary. This made it required to run Synapse, even if the functionality that required it wasn't enabled. This was causing new Synapse installations to crash on startup.
Email modules are now required.
There is a README.txt which always sets off this warning, which is a bit
alarming when you first start synapse. I don't think we need to warn about
this.
If, for some reason, presence updates take a while to persist then it
can trigger clients to tightloop calling `/sync` due to the presence
handler returning updates but not advancing the stream token.
Fixes#5503.
Fixes intermittent errors observed on Apple hardware which were caused by
time.clock() appearing to go backwards when called from different threads.
Also fixes a bug where database activity times were logged as 1/1000 of their
correct ratio due to confusion between milliseconds and seconds.
I had to add quite a lot of logging to diagnose a problem with 3pid
invites - we only logged the one failure which isn't all that
informative.
NB. I'm not convinced the logic of this loop is right: I think it
should just accept a single valid signature from a trusted source
rather than fail if *any* signature is invalid. Also it should
probably not skip the rest of middle loop if a check fails? However,
I'm deliberately not changing the logic here.
Adds new config option `cleanup_extremities_with_dummy_events` which
periodically sends dummy events to rooms with more than 10 extremities.
THIS IS REALLY EXPERIMENTAL.
Fixes that when a user exchanges a 3PID invite for a proper invite over
federation it does not include the `invite_room_state` key.
This was due to synapse incorrectly sending out two invite requests.
* remove 2.7 from CI and publishing
* fill out classifiers and also make it not be installed on 3.5

Moves the warning about password resets being disabled to the point where a user actually tries to reset their password. Is this an appropriate place for it to happen?
Also removed the disabling of msisdn password resets when you don't have an email config, as that just doesn't make sense.
Also change the error a user receives upon disabled passwords to specify that only email-based password reset is disabled.
If we try and send a transaction with lots of EDUs and we run out of
space, we call get_new_device_msgs_for_remote with a limit of 0, which
then failed.
Some keys are stored in the synapse database with a null valid_until_ms
which caused an exception to be thrown when using that key. We fix this
by treating nulls as zeroes, i.e. they keys will match verification
requests with a minimum_valid_until_ms of zero (i.e. don't validate ts)
but will not match requests with a non-zero minimum_valid_until_ms.
Fixes#5391.
It's not really a problem to trust notary responses signed by the old key so
long as we are also doing TLS validation.
This commit adds a check to the config parsing code at startup to check that
we do not have the insecure matrix.org key without tls validation, and refuses
to start without it.
This allows us to remove the rather alarming-looking warning which happens at
runtime.
When we try and calculate a description for a room for with no name but
multiple other users we threw an exception (due to trying to subscript
result of `dict.values()`).
Sends password reset emails from the homeserver instead of proxying to the identity server. This is now the default behaviour for security reasons. If you wish to continue proxying password reset requests to the identity server you must now enable the email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets option.
This PR is a culmination of 3 smaller PRs which have each been separately reviewed:
* #5308
* #5345
* #5368
There are a few changes going on here:
* We make checking the signature on a key server response optional: if no
verify_keys are specified, we trust to TLS to validate the connection.
* We change the default config so that it does not require responses to be
signed by the old key.
* We replace the old 'perspectives' config with 'trusted_key_servers', which
is also formatted slightly differently.
* We emit a warning to the logs every time we trust a key server response
signed by the old key.
* Fix background updates to handle redactions/rejections
In background updates based on current state delta stream we need to
handle that we may not have all the events (or at least that
`get_events` may raise an exception).
Also:
* rename VerifyKeyRequest->VerifyJsonRequest
* calculate key_ids on VerifyJsonRequest construction
* refactor things to pass around VerifyJsonRequests instead of 4-tuples
FederationClient.get_pdu is called in a loop to fetch a batch of PDUs. A
failure to fetch one should not result in a failure of the whole batch. Add the
missing `continue`.
We have too many things called get_event, and it's hard to figure out what we
mean. Also remove some unused params from the signature, and add some logging.
It takes at least 20 minutes to work through the long_retries schedule (11
attempts, each with a 60 second timeout, and 60 seconds between each request),
so if the notary server isn't returning within the timeout, we'll just end up
blocking whatever request is happening for 20 minutes.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
When handling incoming federation requests, make sure that we have an
up-to-date copy of the signing key.
We do not yet enforce the validity period for event signatures.
When processing an incoming event over federation, we may try and
resolve any unexpected differences in auth events. This is a
non-essential process and so should not stop the processing of the event
if it fails (e.g. due to the remote disappearing or not implementing the
necessary endpoints).
Fixes#3330
We have to do this by re-inserting a background update and recreating
tables, as the tables only get created during a background update and
will later be deleted.
We also make sure that we remove any entries that should have been
removed but weren't due to a race that has been fixed in a previous
commit.
The verify_request deferred already returns a suitable SynapseError, so I don't
really know what we expect to achieve by doing more wrapping, other than log
spam.
Fixes#4278.
When we receive a soft failed event we, correctly, *do not* update the
forward extremity table with the event. However, if we later receive an
event that references the soft failed event we then need to remove the
soft failed events prev events from the forward extremities table,
otherwise we just build up forward extremities.
Fixes#5269
This fixes a bug which were causing the "event_format" field to be

When enabling the account validity feature, Synapse will look at startup for registered account without an expiration date, and will set one equals to 'now + validity_period' for them. On large servers, it can mean that a large number of users will have the same expiration date, which means that they will all be sent a renewal email at the same time, which isn't ideal.
In order to mitigate this, this PR allows server admins to define a 'max_delta' so that the expiration date is a random value in the [now + validity_period ; now + validity_period + max_delta] range. This allows renewal emails to be progressively sent over a configured period instead of being sent all in one big batch.
The list of server names was redundant, since it was equivalent to the keys on
the server_to_deferred map. This reduces the number of large lists being passed
around, and has the benefit of deduplicating the entries in `wait_on`.
Replaces DEFAULT_ROOM_VERSION constant with a method that first checks the config, then returns a hardcoded value if the option is not present.
That hardcoded value is now located in the server.py config file.
Rather than have three methods which have to have the same interface,
factor out a separate interface which is provided by three implementations.
I find it easier to grok the code this way.
This is a first step to checking that the key is valid at the required moment.
The idea here is that, rather than passing VerifyKey objects in and out of the
storage layer, we instead pass FetchKeyResult objects, which simply wrap the
VerifyKey and add a valid_until_ts field.
* Pass time_added_ms into process_v2_response
* Simplify process_v2_response
We can merge old_verify_keys into verify_keys, and reduce the number of dicts
flying around.
Storing server keys hammered the database a bit. This replaces the
implementation which stored a single key, with one which can do many updates at
once.
I was staring at this function trying to figure out wtf it was actually
doing. This is (hopefully) a non-functional refactor which makes it a bit
clearer.
If we remove support for a particular room version, we should behave more
gracefully. This should make client requests fail with a 400 rather than a 500,
and will ignore individiual PDUs in a federation transaction, rather than the
whole transaction.
This reverts commit ce5bcefc60.

If account validity is enabled in the server's configuration, this job will run at startup as a background job and will stick an expiration date to any registered account missing one.
We checked that 3pids were not already in use before we checked if
we were going to return the account previously registered in the
same UI auth session, in which case the 3pids will definitely
be in use.

Prevents a SynapseError being raised inside of a IResolutionReceiver and instead opts to just return 0 results. This thus means that we have to lump a failed lookup and a blacklisted lookup together with the same error message, but the substitute should be generic enough to cover both cases.
It's more natural for the user if the bit that takes them away
from the registration flow comes last. Adding the dummy stage allows
us to do the stages in this order without the ambiguity.
This allows the client to complete the email last which is more
natual for the user. Without this stage, if the client would
complete the recaptcha (and terms, if enabled) stages and then the
registration request would complete because you've now completed a
flow, even if you were intending to complete the flow that's the
same except has email auth at the end.
Adding a dummy auth stage to the recaptcha-only flow means it's
always unambiguous which flow the client was trying to complete.
Longer term we should think about changing the protocol so the
client explicitly says which flow it's trying to complete.

This commit adds two config options:
* `restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users`
Requires auth to fetch the public rooms directory through the CS API and disables fetching it through the federation API.
* `require_auth_for_profile_requests`
When set to `true`, requires that requests to `/profile` over the CS API are authenticated, and only returns the user's profile if the requester shares a room with the profile's owner, as per MSC1301.
MSC1301 also specifies a behaviour for federation (only returning the profile if the server asking for it shares a room with the profile's owner), but that's currently really non-trivial to do in a not too expensive way. Next step is writing down a MSC that allows a HS to specify which user sent the profile query. In this implementation, Synapse won't send a profile query over federation if it doesn't believe it already shares a room with the profile's owner, though.
Groups have been intentionally omitted from this commit.
This endpoint isn't much use for its intended purpose if you first need to get
yourself an admin's auth token.
I've restricted it to the `/_synapse/admin` path to make it a bit easier to
lock down for those concerned about exposing this information. I don't imagine
anyone is using it in anger currently.

Currently if a call to `/get_missing_events` fails we log an exception
and stop processing the top level event we received over federation.
Instead let's try and handle it sensibly given it is a somewhat expected
failure mode.
We need to drop tables in the correct order due to foreign table
constraints (on `application_services`), otherwise the DROP TABLE
command will fail.
Introduced in #4992.
There's no point in collecting a merged dict of keys: it is sufficient to
consider just the new keys which have been fetched by the most recent
key_fetch_fns.
Make this just return the key dict, rather than a single-entry dict mapping the
server name to the key dict. It's easy for the caller to get the server name
from from the response object anyway.
We start all pushers on start up and immediately start a background
process to fetch push to send. This makes start up incredibly painful
when dealing with many pushers.
Instead, let's do a quick fast DB check to see if there *may* be push to
send and only start the background processes for those pushers. We also
stagger starting up and doing those checks so that we don't try and
handle all pushers at once.
Hopefully this time we really will fix#4422.
We need to make sure that the cache on
`get_rooms_for_user_with_stream_ordering` is invalidated *before* the
SyncHandler is notified for the new events, and we can now do so reliably via
the `events` stream.
We assume, as we did before, that users bound their threepid to one of
the trusted identity servers. So we simply fill the new table with all
threepids in `user_threepids` joined with the trusted identity servers.
By default the homeserver will use the identity server used during the
binding of the 3PID to unbind the 3PID. However, we need to allow
clients to explicitly ask the homeserver to unbind via a particular
identity server, for the case where the 3PID was bound out of band from
the homeserver.
Implements MSC915.
This changes the behaviour from using the server specified trusted
identity server to using the IS that used during the binding of the
3PID, if known.
This is the behaviour specified by MSC1915.
Primarily this fixes a bug in the handling of remote users joining a
room where the server sent out the presence for all local users in the
room to all servers in the room.
We also change to using the state delta stream, rather than the
distributor, as it will make it easier to split processing out of the
master process (as well as being more flexible).
Finally, when sending presence states to newly joined servers we filter
out old presence states to reduce the number sent. Initially we filter
out states that are offline and have a last active more than a week ago,
though this can be changed down the line.
Fixes#3962
Adds a new method, check_3pid_auth, which gives password providers
the chance to allow authentication with third-party identifiers such
as email or msisdn.
`__str__` depended on `self.addr`, which was absent from
ClientReplicationStreamProtocol, so attempting to call str on such an object
would raise an exception.
We can calculate the peer addr from the transport, so there is no need for addr
anyway.
As per #3622, we remove trailing slashes from outbound federation requests. However, to ensure that we remain backwards compatible with previous versions of Synapse, if we receive a HTTP 400 with `M_UNRECOGNIZED`, then we are likely talking to an older version of Synapse in which case we retry with a trailing slash appended to the request path.
There are a number of instances where a server or admin may puppet a
user to join/leave rooms, which we don't want to fail if the user has
not consented to the privacy policy. We fix this by adding a check to
test if the requester has an associated access_token, which is used as a
proxy to answer the question of whether the action is being done on
behalf of a real request from the user.
