`bump_stamp` corresponds to the `stream_ordering` of the latest `DEFAULT_BUMP_EVENT_TYPES` in the room. This helps clients sort more readily without them needing to pull in a bunch of the timeline to determine the last activity. `bump_event_types` is a thing because for example, we don't want display name changes to mark the room as unread and bump it to the top. For encrypted rooms, we just have to consider any activity as a bump because we can't see the content and the client has to figure it out for themselves.
Outside of Synapse, `bump_stamp` is just a free-form counter so other implementations could use `received_ts`or `origin_server_ts` (see the [*Security considerations* section in MSC3575 about the potential pitfalls of using `origin_server_ts`](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/sync-v3/proposals/3575-sync.md#security-considerations)). It doesn't have any guarantee about always going up. In the Synapse case, it could go down if an event was redacted/removed (or purged in cases of retention policies).
In the future, we could add `bump_event_types` as [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) mentions if people need to customize the event types.

In the Sliding Sync proxy, a similar [`timestamp` field was added](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/pull/247) for the same purpose but the name is not obvious what it pertains to or what it's for.
The `timestamp` field was also added to Ruma in https://github.com/ruma/ruma/pull/1622
This is #17291 (which got reverted), with some added fixups, and change
so that tests actually pick up the error.
The problem was that we were not calculating any new chain IDs due to a
missing `not` in a condition.
Reduce the replication traffic of device lists, by not sending every
destination that needs to be sent the device list update over
replication. Instead a "hosts to send to have been calculated"
notification over replication, and then federation senders read the
destinations from the DB.
For non federation senders this should heavily reduce the impact of a
user in many large rooms changing a device.
This reverts commit bdf82efea5 (#17291)
This seems to have stopped persisting auth chains for new events, and so
is causing state res to fall back to the slow methods
We calculate the auth chain links outside of the main persist event
transaction to ensure that we do not block other event sending during
the calculation.
Sort is no longer configurable and we always sort rooms by the `stream_ordering` of the last event in the room or the point where the user can see up to in cases of leave/ban/invite/knock.
Add `event.internal_metadata.instance_name` (the worker instance that persisted the event) to go alongside the existing `event.internal_metadata.stream_ordering`.
`instance_name` is useful to properly compare and query for events with a token since you need to compare both the `stream_ordering` and `instance_name` against the vector clock/`instance_map` in the `RoomStreamToken`.
This is pre-requisite work and may be used in https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17293
Adding `event.internal_metadata.instance_name` was first mentioned in the initial Sliding Sync PR while pairing with @erikjohnston, see 09609cb0db (diff-5cd773fb307aa754bd3948871ba118b1ef0303f4d72d42a2d21e38242bf4e096R405-R410)
PR where this was introduced: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/14817
### What does this affect?
`get_last_event_in_room_before_stream_ordering(...)` is used in Sync v2 in a lot of different state calculations.
`get_last_event_in_room_before_stream_ordering(...)` is also used in `/rooms/{roomId}/members`
There is a problem with `StreamIdGenerator` where it can go backwards
over restarts when a stream ID is requested but then not inserted into
the DB. This is problematic if we want to land #17215, and is generally
a potential cause for all sorts of nastiness.
Instead of trying to fix `StreamIdGenerator`, we may as well move to
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` that does not suffer from this problem (the
latest positions are stored in `stream_positions` table). This involves
adding SQLite support to the class.
This only changes id generators that were already using
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` under postgres, a separate PR will move the
rest of the uses of `StreamIdGenerator` over.
Weakness in auth chain indexing allows DoS from remote room members
through disk fill and high CPU usage.
A remote Matrix user with malicious intent, sharing a room with Synapse
instances before 1.104.1, can dispatch specially crafted events to
exploit a weakness in how the auth chain cover index is calculated. This
can induce high CPU consumption and accumulate excessive data in the
database of such instances, resulting in a denial of service.
Servers in private federations, or those that do not federate, are not
affected.
During the migration the automated script to update the copyright
headers accidentally got rid of some of the existing copyright lines.
Reinstate them.
There are a couple of things we need to be careful of here:
1. The current python code does no validation when loading from the DB,
so we need to be careful to ignore such errors (at least on jki.re there
are some old events with internal metadata fields of the wrong type).
2. We want to be memory efficient, as we often have many hundreds of
thousands of events in the cache at a time.

If simple_{insert,upsert,update}_many_txn is called without any data
to modify then return instead of executing the query.
This matches the behavior of simple_{select,delete}_many_txn.
* Fix bug where a new writer advances their token too quickly
When starting a new writer (for e.g. persisting events), the
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` doesn't have a minimum token for it as there
are no rows matching that new writer in the DB.
This results in the the first stream ID it acquired being announced as
persisted *before* it actually finishes persisting, if another writer
gets and persists a subsequent stream ID. This is due to the logic of
setting the minimum persisted position to the minimum known position of
across all writers, and the new writer starts off not being considered.
