This improves load times for push rules:
| Version | Time per user | Time for 1k users |
| -------------------- | ------------- | ----------------- |
| Before | 138 µs | 138ms |
| Now (with custom) | 2.11 µs | 2.11ms |
| Now (without custom) | 49.7 ns | 0.05 ms |
This therefore has a large impact on send times for rooms
with large numbers of local users in the room.

Before this PR, you would see a warning in the logs and the span was not exported:
```
2022-08-03 19:11:59,383 - synapse.logging.opentracing - 835 - ERROR - GET-0 - @trace may not have wrapped EventFederationWorkerStore.get_oldest_event_ids_with_depth_in_room correctly! The function is not async but returned a coroutine.
```
In state res v2, we apply two passes of iterative auth checks. The first
pass replays power events and events in their auth chains, but only
those belonging to the full conflicted set. The source code as written
suggests that we want only those belonging to the auth difference (which
is a smaller set of events).
At runtime we were doing the correct thing anyway, because the only
callsite of `_reverse_topological_power_sort` passes in the
`full_conflicted_set`. So this really is just a rename.
This adds support for the stable identifiers of MSC2285 while
continuing to support the unstable identifiers behind the configuration
flag. These will be removed in a future version.
Fix @tag_args being off-by-one (ahead)
Example:
```
argspec.args=[
'self',
'room_id'
]
args=(
<synapse.storage.databases.main.DataStore object at 0x10d0b8d00>,
'!HBehERstyQBxyJDLfR:my.synapse.server'
)
```
---
The previous logic was also flawed and we can end up in a situation like this:
```
argspec.args=['self', 'dest', 'room_id', 'limit', 'extremities']
args=(<synapse.federation.federation_client.FederationClient object at 0x7f1651c18160>, 'hs1', '!jAEHKIubyIfuLOdfpY:hs1')
```
From this source:
```py
async def backfill(
self, dest: str, room_id: str, limit: int, extremities: Collection[str]
) -> Optional[List[EventBase]]:
```
And this usage:
```py
events = await self._federation_client.backfill(
dest, room_id, limit=limit, extremities=extremities
)
```
which would previously cause this error:

See #10826 and #10786 for context as to why we had to disable pruning on
those caches.
Now that `get_users_who_share_room_with_user` is called frequently only
for presence, we just need to make calls to it less frequent and then we
can remove the various levels of caching that is going on.
When a room has the partial state flag, we may not have an accurate
`m.room.member` event for event senders in the room's current state, and
so cannot perform soft fail checks correctly. Skip the soft fail check
entirely in this case.
As an alternative, we could block until we have full state, but that
would prevent us from receiving incoming events over federation, which
is undesirable.

## New error code and status
### Before
Previously, we returned a `404` for `/thumbnail` which isn't even in the spec.
```json
{
"errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND",
"error": "Not found [b'hs1', b'tefQeZhmVxoiBfuFQUKRzJxc']"
}
```
### After
What does the spec say?
> 400: The request does not make sense to the server, or the server cannot thumbnail the content. For example, the client requested non-integer dimensions or asked for negatively-sized images.
>
> *-- https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#get_matrixmediav3thumbnailservernamemediaid*
Now with this PR, we respond with a `400` when we don't have thumbnails to serve and we explain why we might not have any thumbnails.
```json
{
"errcode": "M_UNKNOWN",
"error": "Cannot find any thumbnails for the requested media ([b'example.com', b'12345']). This might mean the media is not a supported_media_format=(image/jpeg, image/jpg, image/webp, image/gif, image/png) or that thumbnailing failed for some other reason. (Dynamic thumbnails are disabled on this server.)",
}
```

---
We still respond with a 404 in many other places. But we can iterate on those later and maybe keep some in some specific places after spec updates/clarification: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1122
We can also iterate on the bugs where Synapse doesn't thumbnail when it should in other issues/PRs.
These columns were added back in Synapse 1.52, and have been populated for new
events since then. It's now (beyond) time to back-populate them for existing
events.
There are two fixes here:
1. A long-standing bug where we incorrectly calculated `delta_ids`; and
2. A bug introduced in #13267 where we got current state incorrect.
Some experimental prep work to enable external event caching based on #9379 & #12955. Doesn't actually move the cache at all, just lays the groundwork for async implemented caches.

* Replace `get_new_events_for_appservice` with `get_all_new_events_stream`
The functions were near identical and this brings the AS worker closer
to the way federation senders work which can allow for multiple workers
to handle AS traffic.
* Pull received TS alongside events when processing the stream
This avoids an extra query -per event- when both federation sender
and appservice pusher process events.
There is a corner in `_check_event_auth` (long known as "the weird corner") where, if we get an event with auth_events which don't match those we were expecting, we attempt to resolve the diffence between our state and the remote's with a state resolution.
This isn't specced, and there's general agreement we shouldn't be doing it.
However, it turns out that the faster-joins code was relying on it, so we need to introduce something similar (but rather simpler) for that.

This happens when you have some messages imported before the room is created.
Then use MSC3030 to look backwards before the room creation from a remote

federation which will have the remote event. The previous logic would
choke on not having the local event assigned.

Method `_get_state_map_for_room` seems to break in presence of some ill-formed events in the database. Reimplementing this method to use `get_current_state`, which is more robust to such events.
This happened if we encountered a stream ordering in `event_push_actions` that had more rows than the batch size of the delete, as If we don't delete any rows in an iteration then the next time round we get the exact same stream ordering and get stuck.
Whenever we want to persist an event, we first compute an event context,
which includes the state at the event and a flag indicating whether the
state is partial. After a lot of processing, we finally try to store the
event in the database, which can fail for partial state events when the
containing room has been un-partial stated in the meantime.
We detect the race as a foreign key constraint failure in the data store
layer and turn it into a special `PartialStateConflictError` exception,
which makes its way up to the method in which we computed the event
context.
To make things difficult, the exception needs to cross a replication
request: `/fed_send_events` for events coming over federation and
`/send_event` for events from clients. We transport the
`PartialStateConflictError` as a `409 Conflict` over replication and
turn `409`s back into `PartialStateConflictError`s on the worker making
the request.
All client events go through
`EventCreationHandler.handle_new_client_event`, which is called in
*a lot* of places. Instead of trying to update all the code which
creates client events, we turn the `PartialStateConflictError` into a
`429 Too Many Requests` in
`EventCreationHandler.handle_new_client_event` and hope that clients
take it as a hint to retry their request.
On the federation event side, there are 7 places which compute event
contexts. 4 of them use outlier event contexts:
`FederationEventHandler._auth_and_persist_outliers_inner`,
`FederationHandler.do_knock`, `FederationHandler.on_invite_request` and
`FederationHandler.do_remotely_reject_invite`. These events won't have
the partial state flag, so we do not need to do anything for then.
The remaining 3 paths which create events are
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`,
`FederationEventHandler.on_send_membership_event` and
`FederationEventHandler._process_received_pdu`.
We can't experience the race in `process_remote_join`, unless we're
handling an additional join into a partial state room, which currently
blocks, so we make no attempt to handle it correctly.
`on_send_membership_event` is only called by
`FederationServer._on_send_membership_event`, so we catch the
`PartialStateConflictError` there and retry just once.
`_process_received_pdu` is called by `on_receive_pdu` for incoming
events and `_process_pulled_event` for backfill. The latter should never
try to persist partial state events, so we ignore it. We catch the
`PartialStateConflictError` in `on_receive_pdu` and retry just once.
Refering to the graph of code paths in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12988#issuecomment-1156857648
may make the above make more sense.

* Add auth events to events used in tests
* Move some event auth checks out to a different method
Some of the event auth checks apply to an event's auth_events, rather than the

resolution. Move them out to a separate method.
* Rename check_auth_rules_for_event
Now it only checks the state-dependent auth rules, it needs a better name.
Fixes#11887 hopefully.
The core change here is that `event_push_summary` now holds a summary of counts up until a much more recent point, meaning that the range of rows we need to count in `event_push_actions` is much smaller.
This needs two major changes:
1. When we get a receipt we need to recalculate `event_push_summary` rather than just delete it
2. The logic for deleting `event_push_actions` is now divorced from calculating `event_push_summary`.
In future it would be good to calculate `event_push_summary` while we persist a new event (it should just be a case of adding one to the relevant rows in `event_push_summary`), as that will further simplify the get counts logic and remove the need for us to periodically update `event_push_summary` in a background job.
* Remove redundant references to `event_edges.room_id`
We don't need to care about the room_id here, because we are already checking
the event id.
* Clean up the event_edges table
We make a number of changes to `event_edges`:
* We give the `room_id` and `is_state` columns defaults (null and false
respectively) so that we can stop populating them.
* We drop any rows that have `is_state` set true - they should no longer
exist.
* We drop any rows that do not exist in `events` - these should not exist
either.
* We drop the old unique constraint on all the colums, which wasn't much use.
* We create a new unique index on `(event_id, prev_event_id)`.
* We add a foreign key constraint to `events`.
These happen rather differently depending on whether we are on Postgres or
SQLite. For SQLite, we just rebuild the whole table, copying only the rows we
want to keep. For Postgres, we try to do things in the background as much as
possible.
* Stop populating `event_edges.room_id` and `is_state`
We can just rely on the defaults.

This simplifies the access token verification logic by removing the `rights`
parameter which was only ever used for the unsubscribe link in email
notifications. The latter has been moved under the `/_synapse` namespace,
since it is not a standard API.
This also makes the email verification link more secure, by embedding the
app_id and pushkey in the macaroon and verifying it. This prevents the user
from tampering the query parameters of that unsubscribe link.
Macaroon generation is refactored:
- Centralised all macaroon generation and verification logic to the
`MacaroonGenerator`
- Moved to `synapse.utils`
- Changed the constructor to require only a `Clock`, hostname, and a secret key
(instead of a full `Homeserver`).
- Added tests for all methods.
Instead, use the `room_version` property of the event we're checking.
The `room_version` was originally added as a parameter somewhere around #4482,
but really it's been redundant since #6875 added a `room_version` field to `EventBase`.
Instead, use the `room_version` property of the event we're validating.
The `room_version` was originally added as a parameter somewhere around #4482,
but really it's been redundant since #6875 added a `room_version` field to `EventBase`.
The `room_id` field was removed from MSC2946 before
it was accepted. It was initially kept for backwards compatibility
and should be removed now that the stable form of the API
is used.
This change only stops Synapse from validating that it is returned,
a future PR will remove returning it as part of the response.

Currently, we try to pull the event corresponding to a sync token from the database. However, when
we fetch redaction events, we check the target of that redaction (because we aren't allowed to send
redactions to clients without validating them). So, if the sync token points to a redaction of an event
that we don't have, we have a problem.
It turns out we don't really need that event, and can just work with its ID and metadata, which
sidesteps the whole problem.
* Raise a dedicated `InvalidEventSignatureError` from `_check_sigs_on_pdu`
* Downgrade logging about redactions to DEBUG
this can be very spammy during a room join, and it's not very useful.
* Raise `InvalidEventSignatureError` from `_check_sigs_and_hash`
... and, more importantly, move the logging out to the callers.
* changelog
==============================
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
for more details.
Features
--------
- Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12883))
Bugfixes
--------
- Explicitly close `ijson` coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them. ([\#12875](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12875))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Improve URL previews by not including the content of media tags in the generated description. ([\#12887](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12887))

* Fix room deletion
ae7858f broke room deletion by attempting to delete the entry from `rooms`
before the tables that reference it.
* faster_joins: remove database rows on purge
* Refactor HTTP response size limits
Rather than passing a separate `max_response_size` down the stack, make it an
attribute of the `parser`.
* Allow bigger responses on `federation/v1/state`
`/state` can return huge responses, so we need to handle that.
Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:
* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
By always returning all requested values from the function
wrapped by cachedList. Otherwise implicit None values get
added into the cache, which are unexpected.
Implements the following behind an experimental configuration flag:
* A new push rule kind for mutually related events.
* A new default push rule (`.m.rule.thread_reply`) under an unstable prefix.
This is missing part of MSC3772:
* The `.m.rule.thread_reply_to_me` push rule, this depends on MSC3664 / #11804.
The main differences are:
- values with delimiters (such as colons) should be quoted, so always
quote the origin, since it could contain a colon followed by a port
number
- should allow more than one space after "X-Matrix"
- quoted values with backslash-escaped characters should be unescaped
- names should be case insensitive
A minor optimization to avoid unnecessary copying/building
identical dictionaries when filtering private read receipts.
Also clarifies comments and cleans-up some tests.
==============================
Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:
- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12452), [\#12654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12654))
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.
Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12597))
Bugfixes

Parse the `m.relates_to` event content field (which describes relations)
in a single place, this is used during:
* Event persistence.
* Validation of the Client-Server API.
* Fetching bundled aggregations.
* Processing of push rules.
Each of these separately implement the logic and each made slightly
different assumptions about what was valid. Some had minor / potential
bugs.

While `ReplicationEndpoint`s register themselves via `JsonResource`,
they pass a method that calls the handler, instead of the handler itself,
to `register_paths`. As a result, `JsonResource` will not correctly pick
up the `@cancellable` flag and we have to apply it ourselves.
Signed-off-by: Sean Quah <seanq@element.io>
Both `RestServlet`s and `BaseFederationServlet`s register their handlers
with `HttpServer.register_paths` / `JsonResource.register_paths`. Update
`JsonResource` to respect the `@cancellable` flag on handlers registered
in this way.
Although `ReplicationEndpoint` also registers itself using
`register_paths`, it does not pass the handler method that would have the
`@cancellable` flag directly, and so needs separate handling.

`DirectServeHtmlResource` and `DirectServeJsonResource` both inherit
from `_AsyncResource`. These classes expect to be subclassed with
`_async_render_*` methods.
This commit has no effect on `JsonResource`, despite inheriting from
`_AsyncResource`. `JsonResource` has its own `_async_render` override
which will need to be updated separately.

Refactor how the `EventContext` class works, with the intention of reducing the amount of state we fetch from the DB during event processing.
The idea here is to get rid of the cached `current_state_ids` and `prev_state_ids` that live in the `EventContext`, and instead defer straight to the database (and its caching).
One change that may have a noticeable effect is that we now no longer prefill the `get_current_state_ids` cache on a state change. However, that query is relatively light, since its just a case of reading a table from the DB (unlike fetching state at an event which is more heavyweight). For deployments with workers this cache isn't even used.
Part of #12684
All async request processing goes through `_AsyncResource`, so this is
the only place where a `Deferred` needs to be captured for cancellation.
Unfortunately, the same isn't true for determining whether a request
can be cancelled. Each of `RestServlet`, `BaseFederationServlet`,
`DirectServe{Html,Json}Resource` and `ReplicationEndpoint` have
different wrappers around the method doing the request handling and they
all need to be handled separately.

* Move `_condition_checker` into `PushRuleEvaluatorForEvent`.
* Move the condition cache into `PushRuleEvaluatorForEvent`.

* Inline a method which is only called once.
There's no guarantee that module callbacks will handle cancellation
appropriately. Protect module callbacks with read semantics from
cancellation and avoid swallowing `CancelledError`s that arise.
Other module callbacks, such as the `on_*` callbacks, are presumed to
live on code paths that involve writes and aren't cancellation-friendly.
These module callbacks have been left alone.

getClientIP was deprecated in Twisted 18.4.0, which also added
getClientAddress. The Synapse minimum version for Twisted is
currently 18.9.0, so all supported versions have the new API.
* Changes hidden read receipts to be a separate receipt type
(instead of a field on `m.read`).
* Updates the `/receipts` endpoint to accept `m.fully_read`.
* `m.login.jwt`, which was never specced and has been deprecated
since Synapse 1.16.0. (`org.matrix.login.jwt` can be used instead.)
* `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service`, which was
stabilized as part of the Matrix spec v1.2 release.
The `latest_event` field of the bundled aggregations for `m.thread` relations
did not include bundled aggregations itself. This resulted in clients needing to
immediately request the event from the server (and thus making it useless that
the latest event itself was serialized instead of just including an event ID).
I've seen a few errors which can only plausibly be explained by the calculated
event id for an event being different from the ID of the event in the
database. It should be cheap to check this, so let's do so and raise an
exception.
This works by taking a row level lock on the `rooms` table at the start of both transactions, ensuring that they don't run at the same time. In the event persistence transaction we also check that there is an entry still in the `rooms` table.
I can't figure out how to do this in SQLite. I was just going to lock the table, but it seems that we don't support that in SQLite either, so I'm *really* confused as to how we maintain integrity in SQLite when using `lock_table`....
This was originally added when we first added a `MemoryHandler` to the default
log config back in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8040, to ensure
that we didn't explode with an infinite loop if there was an error formatting
the logs.
Since then, we made additional improvements to logging which make this
workaround redundant. In particular:
* we no longer attempt to log un-UTF8-decodable byte sequences, which were the
most likely cause of an error in the first place.
* https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8268 ensures that in the unlikely
case that there *is* an error, it won't cause an infinite loop.
The status code of requests must always be set, regardless of client
disconnection, otherwise they will always be logged as 200!.

When configuring the return values of mocks, prefer awaitables from
`make_awaitable` over `defer.succeed`. `Deferred`s are only awaitable
once, so it is inappropriate for a mock to return the same `Deferred`
multiple times.
Also update `run_in_background` to support functions that return
arbitrary awaitables.

Over time we've begun to use newer versions of mypy, typeshed, stub
packages---and of course we've improved our own annotations. This makes
some type ignore comments no longer necessary. I have removed them.
There was one exception: a module that imports `select.epoll`. The
ignore is redundant on Linux, but I've kept it ignored for those of us
who work on the source tree using not-Linux. (#11771)
I'm more interested in the config line which enforces this. I want
unused ignores to be reported, because I think it's useful feedback when
annotating to know when you've fixed a problem you had to previously
ignore.
* Installing extras before typechecking
Lacking an easy way to install all extras generically, let's bite the bullet and
make install the hand-maintained `all` extra before typechecking.
Now that https://github.com/matrix-org/backend-meta/pull/6 is merged to
the release/v1 branch.
Try to avoid an OOM by checking fewer extremities.
Generally this is a big rewrite of _maybe_backfill, to try and fix some of the TODOs and other problems in it. It's best reviewed commit-by-commit.
Multiple calls to `EventsWorkerStore._get_events_from_cache_or_db` can
reuse the same database fetch, which is initiated by the first call.
Ensure that cancelling the first call doesn't cancel the other calls
sharing the same database fetch.

This will mainly be useful when dealing with module callbacks, which are
all typed as returning `Awaitable`s instead of coroutines or

Signed-off-by: Sean Quah <seanq@element.io>
When we join a room via the faster-joins mechanism, we end up with "partial
state" at some points on the event DAG. Many parts of the codebase need to
wait for the full state to load. So, we implement a mechanism to keep track of
which events have partial state, and wait for them to be fully-populated.
MSC2314 has now been closed, so we're backing out its implementation, which
originally happened in #6176.
Unfortunately it's not a direct revert, as that PR mixed in a bunch of
unrelated changes to tests etc.
In trying to use the MSC3026 busy presence status, the user's status
would be set back to 'online' next time they synced. This change makes
it so that syncing does not affect a user's presence status if it
is currently set to 'busy': it must be removed through the presence
API.
The MSC defers to implementations on the behaviour of busy presence,
so this ought to remain compatible with the MSC.
This was missed when initially stabilising room version 8 and was
left in as a compatibility shim. Most homeservers have upgraded
to a version which expects the proper field name, and the failure
mode is reasonable (a user on an older server may have to attempt
joining the room twice with an obscure error message the first time).
We work through all the events with partial state, updating the state at each
of them. Once it's done, we recalculate the state for the whole room, and then
mark the room as having complete state.

* remove not needed return type in `__init__`
* Revert change in `get_stream_id_for_event_txn`
* Remove import from `Literal`
* Specify `tls` extra for Twisted dependency.
It was already pulled in for us by `treq`, but we should be explicit
that we do use the `tls` functionality of Twisted directly.
* Mark `idna` as dev-dependency
This doesn't actually change anything, as `Twisted[tls]` will put it in
as a main dependency anyway.
Consider the requester's ignored users when calculating the
bundled aggregations.
See #12285 / 4df10d3214
for corresponding changes for the `/relations` endpoint.
Of note:
* No untyped defs in `register_new_matrix_user`
This one might be contraversial. `request_registration` has three
dependency-injection arguments used for testing. I'm removing the
injection of the `requests` module and using `unitest.mock.patch` in the
test cases instead.
Doing `reveal_type(requests)` and `reveal_type(requests.get)` before the
change:

This is a first step in dealing with #7721.
The idea is basically that rather than calculating the full set of users a device list update needs to be sent to up front, we instead simply record the rooms the user was in at the time of the change. This will allow a few things:
1. we can defer calculating the set of remote servers that need to be poked about the change; and
2. during `/sync` and `/keys/changes` we can avoid also avoid calculating users who share rooms with other users, and instead just look at the rooms that have changed.
However, care needs to be taken to correctly handle server downgrades. As such this PR writes to both `device_lists_changes_in_room` and the `device_lists_outbound_pokes` table synchronously. In a future release we can then bump the database schema compat version to `69` and then we can assume that the new `device_lists_changes_in_room` exists and is handled.
There is a temporary option to disable writing to `device_lists_outbound_pokes` synchronously, allowing us to test the new code path does work (and by implication upgrading to a future release and downgrading to this one will work correctly).
Note: Ideally we'd do the calculation of room to servers on a worker (e.g. the background worker), but currently only master can write to the `device_list_outbound_pokes` table.
