SynapseRequest is in danger of becoming a bit of a dumping-ground for "useful stuff relating to Requests",
which isn't really its intention (its purpose is to override render, finished and connectionLost to set up the
LoggingContext and write the right entries to the request log).
Putting utility functions inside SynapseRequest means that lots of our code ends up requiring a
SynapseRequest when there is nothing synapse-specific about the Request at all, and any old
twisted.web.iweb.IRequest will do. This increases code coupling and makes testing more difficult.
In short: move get_user_agent out to a utility function.
You can't continue using a transaction once an exception has been
raised, so catching and dropping the error here is pointless and just
causes more errors.
I'm not even sure what this was supposed to do, but the fact it has python2isms
and nobody has noticed suggests it's not terribly important.
It doesn't seem to have been used since ff23e5ba37.

The `RoomDirectoryFederationTests` tests were not being run unless explicitly called as an `__init__.py` file was not present in `tests/federation/transport/`. Thus the folder was not a python module, and `trial` did not look inside for any test cases to run. This was found while working on #6739.
This PR adds a `__init__.py` and also fixes the test in a couple ways:
- Switch to subclassing `unittest.FederatingHomeserverTestCase` instead, which sets up federation endpoints for us.
- Supply a `federation_auth_origin` to `make_request` in order to more act like the request is coming from another server, instead of just an unauthenicated client requesting a federation endpoint.
I found that the second point makes no difference to the test passing, but felt like the right thing to do if we're testing over federation.
This adds an admin API that allows a server admin to get power in a room if a local user has power in a room. Will also invite the user if they're not in the room and its a private room. Can specify another user (rather than the admin user) to be granted power.
Co-authored-by: Matthew Hodgson <matthew@matrix.org>
This had two effects 1) it'd give the wrong answer and b) would iterate
*all* power levels in the auth chain of each event. The latter of which
can be *very* expensive for certain types of IRC bridge rooms that have
large numbers of power level changes.
The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).
The static resources for the username picker itself (in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res.
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up.
Fixes#8876.

This is another part of my work towards fixing #8876. It moves some of the logic currently in the SAML and OIDC handlers - in particular the call to `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login` down into the `SsoHandler`.
* move simple_async_mock to test_utils
... so that it can be re-used
* Remove references to `SamlHandler._map_saml_response_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead,
factor out a higher-level method which takes a SAML object, and verify correct
behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.

* Remove references to handler._auth_handler
(and replace them with hs.get_auth_handler)
* Factor out a utility function for building Requests
* Remove mocks of `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user`
This method is going away, so mocking it out is no longer a valid approach.
Instead, we mock out lower-level methods (eg _remote_id_from_userinfo), or
simply allow the regular implementation to proceed and update the expectations
accordingly.
* Remove references to `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead
we build mock "callback" requests which we pass into `handle_oidc_callback`,

* Factor out _call_attribute_mapper and _register_mapped_user
This is mostly an attempt to simplify `get_mxid_from_sso`.
* Move mapping_lock down into SsoHandler.
It seems that letting CircleCI use its default docker version (17.09.0-ce,
apparently) did not interact well with multiarch builds: in particular, we saw
weird effects where running an amd64 build at the same time as an arm64 build
caused the arm64 builds to fail with:
Error while loading /usr/sbin/dpkg-deb: No such file or directory
The idea is that the parse_config method of extension modules can raise either a ConfigError or a JsonValidationError,
and it will be magically turned into a legible error message. There's a few components to it:
* Separating the "path" and the "message" parts of a ConfigError, so that we can fiddle with the path bit to turn it
into an absolute path.
* Generally improving the way ConfigErrors get printed.
* Passing in the config path to load_module so that it can wrap any exceptions that get caught appropriately.
* SsoHandler: remove inheritance from BaseHandler
* Simplify the flow for SSO UIA
We don't need to do all the magic for mapping users when we are doing UIA, so
let's factor that out.

This removes the version pin of the `prometheus_client` dependency, in direct response to #8831. If merged, this will close#8831
As far as I can tell, no other changes are needed, but as I'm no synapse expert, I'm relying heavily on CI and maintainer reviews for this. My very primitive test of synapse with prometheus_client v0.9.0 on my home server didn't bring up any issues, so we'll see what happens.

Replaces the `federation_ip_range_blacklist` configuration setting with an
`ip_range_blacklist` setting with wider scope. It now applies to:
* Federation
* Identity servers
* Push notifications
* Checking key validitity for third-party invite events
The old `federation_ip_range_blacklist` setting is still honored if present, but
with reduced scope (it only applies to federation and identity servers).
We do state res with unpersisted events when calculating the new current state of the room, so that should be the only thing impacted. I don't think this is tooooo big of a deal as:
1. the next time a state event happens in the room the current state should correct itself;
2. in the common case all the unpersisted events' auth events will be pulled in by other state, so will still return the correct result (or one which is sufficiently close to not affect the result); and
3. we mostly use the state at an event to do important operations, which isn't affected by this.
The official dashboard uses data from these rules, but they were never added to the synapse-v2.rules. They are mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7917#issuecomment-661330409, but never got added to the rules.

This was broken in #8801 when abstracting code shared with OIDC.
After this change both SAML and OIDC have a concept of
grandfathering users, but with different implementations.
This PR adds a `room_version` argument to the `RestHelper`'s `create_room_as` function for tests. I plan to use this for testing knocking, which currently uses an unstable room version.
The spec requires synapse to support `identifier` dicts for `m.login.password`
user-interactive auth, which it did not (instead, it required an undocumented
`user` parameter.)
To fix this properly, we need to pull the code that interprets `identifier`
into `AuthHandler.validate_login` so that it can be called from the UIA code.
Fixes#5665.
It's important that we make sure our background updates happen in a defined
order, to avoid disasters like #6923.
Add an ordering to all of the background updates that have landed since #7190.
This applies even if the feature is disabled at the server level with `allow_per_room_profiles`.
The server notice not being a real user it doesn't have an user profile.
This PR adds a new config option to the `push` section of the homeserver config, `group_unread_count_by_room`. By default Synapse will group push notifications by room (so if you have 1000 unread messages, if they lie in 55 rooms, you'll see an unread count on your phone of 55).
However, it is also useful to be able to send out the true count of unread messages if desired. If `group_unread_count_by_room` is set to `false`, then with the above example, one would see an unread count of 1000 (email anyone?).
This PR grew out of #6739, and adds typing to some method arguments
You'll notice that there are a lot of `# type: ignores` in here. This is due to the base methods not matching the overloads here. This is necessary to stop mypy complaining, but a better solution is #8828.
We can get a SIGHUP at any point, including times where we are not in a
sane state. By deferring calling the handlers until the next reactor
tick we ensure that we don't get unexpected conflicts, e.g. trying to
flush logs from the signal handler while the code was in the process of
writing a log entry.
Fixes#8769.
When server URL provided to register_new_matrix_user includes path
component (e.g. "http://localhost:8008/"), the command fails with
"ERROR! Received 400 Bad Request". Stripping trailing slash from the
server_url command argument makes sure combined endpoint URL remains
valid.

This is another PR that grew out of #6739.
The existing code for checking whether a user is currently invited to a room when they want to leave the room looks like the following:
f737368a26/synapse/handlers/room_member.py (L518-L540)
It calls `get_invite_for_local_user_in_room`, which will actually query *all* rooms the user has been invited to, before iterating over them and matching via the room ID. It will then return a tuple of a lot of information which we pull the event ID out of.
I need to do a similar check for knocking, but this code wasn't very efficient. I then tried to write a different implementation using `StateHandler.get_current_state` but this actually didn't work as we haven't *joined* the room yet - we've only been invited to it. That means that only certain tables in Synapse have our desired `invite` membership state. One of those tables is `local_current_membership`.
So I wrote a store method that just queries that table instead
Synctl did not check if a worker thread was already running when using
`synctl start` and would naively start a fresh copy. This would
sometimes lead to cases where many duplicate copies of a single worker
would run.
This fix adds a pid check when starting worker threads and synctl will
now refuse to start individual workers if they're already running.
When using `add_header` nginx will literally add a header. If a
`content-type` header is already configured (for example through a
server wide default), this means we end up with 2 content-type headers,
like so:
```
content-type: text/html
content-type: application/json
access-control-allow-origin: *
```
That doesn't make sense. Instead, we want the content type of that
block to only be `application/json` which we can achieve using
`default_type` instead.

* Consistently use room_id from federation request body
Some federation APIs have a redundant `room_id` path param (see

`_locally_reject_invite` generates an out-of-band membership event which can be passed to clients, but not other homeservers.
This is used when we fail to reject an invite over federation. If this happens, we instead just generate a leave event locally and send it down /sync, allowing clients to reject invites even if we can't reach the remote homeserver.
A similar flow needs to be put in place for rescinding knocks. If we're unable to contact any remote server from the room we've tried to knock on, we'd still like to generate and store the leave event locally. Hence the need to reuse, and thus generalise, this method.
Separated from #6739.
The root resource isn't necessarily a JsonResource, so rename this method
accordingly, and update a couple of test classes to use the method rather than
directly manipulating self.resource.
There's a handy function called maybe_store_room_on_invite which allows us to create an entry in the rooms table for a room and its version for which we aren't joined to yet, but we can reference when ingesting events about.
This is currently used for invites where we receive some stripped state about the room and pass it down via /sync to the client, without us being in the room yet.
There is a similar requirement for knocking, where we will eventually do the same thing, and need an entry in the rooms table as well. Thus, reusing this function works, however its name needs to be generalised a bit.
Separated out from #6739.
The main use case is to see how many requests are being made, and how
many are second/third/etc attempts. If there are large number of retries
then that likely indicates a delivery problem.
If the script fails (or is CTRL-C'ed) between porting some of the events table and copying of the sequences then the port script will immediately die if run again due to the postgres DB having inconsistencies between sequences and tables.
The fix is to move the porting of sequences to before porting the tables, so that there is never a period where the Postgres DB is inconsistent. To do that we need to change how we port the sequences so that it calculates the values from the SQLite DB rather than the Postgres DB.
Fixes#8619
This should hopefully speed up `get_auth_chain_difference` a bit in the case of repeated state res on the same rooms.
`get_auth_chain_difference` does a breadth first walk of the auth graphs by repeatedly looking up events' auth events. Different state resolutions on the same room will end up doing a lot of the same event to auth events lookups, so by caching them we should speed things up in cases of repeated state resolutions on the same room.
`adbapi.ConnectionPool` let's you turn on auto reconnect of DB connections. This is off by default.
As far as I can tell if its not enabled dead connections never get removed from the pool.

If SSO login is used (e.g. SAML) in a multi worker setup, it should be mentioned that currently all SAML logins must run on the same worker, see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7530
Also, if you are using different ports (for example 443 and 8448) in a reverse proxy for client and federation, the path `/_matrix/media` on the client and federation port must point to the listener of the `media_repository` worker, otherwise you'll get a 404 on the federation port for the path `/_matrix/media`, if a remote server is trying to get the media object on federation port, see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8695
This PR adds some documentation that:
* Describes who the audience for the `docs/`, `docs/dev/` and `docs/admin/` directories are, as well as Synapse's wiki page.
* Stresses that we'd like all documentation to be down in markdown.
I idly noticed that these lists were out of sync with each other, causing us to miss a table in a test case (`local_invites`). Let's consolidate this list instead to prevent this from happening in the future.
This PR fixes two things:
* Corrects the copy/paste error of telling the client their displayname is wrong when they are submitting an `avatar_url`.
* Returns a `M_INVALID_PARAM` instead of `M_UNKNOWN` for non-str type parameters.

We do it this way round so that only the "owner" can delete the access token (i.e. `/logout/all` by the "owner" also deletes that token, but `/logout/all` by the "target user" doesn't).
A future PR will add an API for creating such a token.
When the target user and authenticated entity are different the `Processed request` log line will be logged with a: `{@admin:server as @bob:server} ...`. I'm not convinced by that format (especially since it adds spaces in there, making it harder to use `cut -d ' '` to chop off the start of log lines). Suggestions welcome.
Cached functions accept an `on_invalidate` function, which we failed to add to the type signature. It's rarely used in the files that we have typed, which is why we haven't noticed it before.
otherwise non-state events get written as `<FrozenEvent ... state_key='None'>`
which is indistinguishable from state events with the actual state_key `None`.
This modifies the configuration of structured logging to be usable from
the standard Python logging configuration.
This also separates the formatting of logs from the transport allowing
JSON logs to files or standard logs to sockets.
Not being able to serialise `frozendicts` is fragile, and it's annoying to have
to think about which serialiser you want. There's no real downside to
supporting frozendicts, so let's just have one json encoder.
I was trying to make it so that we didn't have to start a background task when handling RDATA, but that is a bigger job (due to all the code in `generic_worker`). However I still think not pulling the event from the DB may help reduce some DB usage due to replication, even if most workers will simply go and pull that event from the DB later anyway.

This is a requirement for [knocking](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6739), and is abstracting some code that was originally used by the invite flow. I'm separating it out into this PR as it's a fairly contained change.
For a bit of context: when you invite a user to a room, you send them [stripped state events](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/unstable#put-matrix-federation-v2-invite-roomid-eventid) as part of `invite_room_state`. This is so that their client can display useful information such as the room name and avatar. The same requirement applies to knocking, as it would be nice for clients to be able to display a list of rooms you've knocked on - room name and avatar included.
The reason we're sending membership events down as well is in the case that you are invited to a room that does not have an avatar or name set. In that case, the client should use the displayname/avatar of the inviter. That information is located in the inviter's membership event.
This is optional as knocks don't really have any user in the room to link up to. When you knock on a room, your knock is sent by you and inserted into the room. It wouldn't *really* make sense to show the avatar of a random user - plus it'd be a data leak. So I've opted not to send membership events to the client here. The UX on the client for when you knock on a room without a name/avatar is a separate problem.
In essence this is just moving some inline code to a reusable store method.
it seems to be possible that only one of them ends up to be cached.
when this was the case, the missing one was not fetched via federation,
and clients then failed to validate cross-signed devices.

Split admin API for reported events in detail und list view.
API was introduced with #8217 in synapse v.1.21.0.
It makes the list (`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`) less complex and provides a better overview.
The details can be queried with: `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports/<report_id>`.
It is similar to room and users API.
It is a kind of regression in `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`. `event_json` was removed. But the api was introduced one version before and it is an admin API (not under spec).

#8567 started a span for every background process. This is good as it means all Synapse code that gets run should be in a span (unless in the sentinel logging context), but it means we generate about 15x the number of spans as we did previously.
This PR attempts to reduce that number by a) not starting one for send commands to Redis, and b) deferring starting background processes until after we're sure they're necessary.
I don't really know how much this will help.

This implements a more standard API for instantiating a homeserver and
moves some of the dependency injection into the test suite.
More concretely this stops using `setattr` on all `kwargs` passed to `HomeServer`.
This PR makes several changes to the `./scripts-dev/lint.sh` script, which lints the codebase with a number of tools:
* Adds usage information, with `-h` flag to show it. Otherwise it will show when providing an unknown flag.
* Adds option `-d` which will check both staged and unstaged files that have changed since the last commit and add them to the list of files to lint.
- Note that only files without an extension, or with a `.py` extension will be allowed. This prevents editing bash scripts causing the linters to break on non-python files.
* Improves the print-out of which files/directories are being linted.
We asserted that the IDs returned by postgres sequence was greater than
any we had seen, however this is technically racey as we may update the
current positions out of order.
We now assert that the sequences are correct on startup, so the
assertion is no longer really required, so we remove them.
Autocommit means that we don't wrap the functions in transactions, and instead get executed directly. Introduced in #8456. This will help:
1. reduce the number of `could not serialize access due to concurrent delete` errors that we see (though there are a few functions that often cause serialization errors that we don't fix here);
2. improve the DB performance, as it no longer needs to deal with the overhead of `REPEATABLE READ` isolation levels; and
3. improve wall clock speed of these functions, as we no longer need to send `BEGIN` and `COMMIT` to the DB.
Some notes about the differences between autocommit mode and our default `REPEATABLE READ` transactions:
1. Currently `autocommit` only applies when using PostgreSQL, and is ignored when using SQLite (due to silliness with [Twisted DB classes](https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9998)).
2. Autocommit functions may get retried on error, which means they can get applied *twice* (or more) to the DB (since they are not in a transaction the previous call would not get rolled back). This means that the functions need to be idempotent (or otherwise not care about being called multiple times). Read queries, simple deletes, and updates/upserts that replace rows (rather than generating new values from existing rows) are all idempotent.
3. Autocommit functions no longer get executed in [`REPEATABLE READ`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/transaction-iso.html) isolation level, and so data can change queries, which is fine for single statement queries.
We asserted that the IDs returned by postgres sequence was greater than
any we had seen, however this is technically racey as we may update the
current positions out of order.
We now assert that the sequences are correct on startup, so the
assertion is no longer really required, so we remove them.
* Fix outbound federaion with multiple event persisters.
We incorrectly notified federation senders that the minimum persisted
stream position had advanced when we got an `RDATA` from an event
persister.
Notifying of federation senders already correctly happens in the
notifier, so we just delete the offending line.
* Change some interfaces to use RoomStreamToken.
By enforcing use of `RoomStreamTokens` we make it less likely that
people pass in random ints that they got from somewhere random.
Currently background proccesses stream the events stream use the "minimum persisted position" (i.e. `get_current_token()`) rather than the vector clock style tokens. This is broadly fine as it doesn't matter if the background processes lag a small amount. However, in extreme cases (i.e. SyTests) where we only write to one event persister the background processes will never make progress.
This PR changes it so that the `MultiWriterIDGenerator` keeps the current position of a given instance as up to date as possible (i.e using the latest token it sees if its not in the process of persisting anything), and then periodically announces that over replication. This then allows the "minimum persisted position" to advance, albeit with a small lag.
This could, very occasionally, cause:

This PR allows Synapse modules making use of the `ModuleApi` to create and send non-membership events into a room. This can useful to have modules send messages, or change power levels in a room etc. Note that they must send event through a user that's already in the room.
The non-membership event limitation is currently arbitrary, as it's another chunk of work and not necessary at the moment.

We call `_update_stream_positions_table_txn` a lot, which is an UPSERT
that can conflict in `REPEATABLE READ` isolation level. Instead of doing
a transaction consisting of a single query we may as well run it outside
of a transaction.
