Add a (long) timeout to when a "busy" device is considered not online.
This does *not* match MSC3026, but is a reasonable thing for an
implementation to do.
Expands tests for the (unstable) busy presence with multiple devices.
Tracks presence on an individual per-device basis and combine
the per-device state into a per-user state. This should help in
situations where a user has multiple devices with conflicting status
(e.g. one is syncing with unavailable and one is syncing with online).
The tie-breaking is done by priority:
BUSY > ONLINE > UNAVAILABLE > OFFLINE
* Fix rare bug that broke looping calls
We can't interact with the reactor from the main thread via looping
call.
Introduced in v1.90.0 / #15791.
* Newsfile
Refactoring to pass the device ID (in addition to the user ID) through
the presence handler (specifically the `user_syncing`, `set_state`,
and `bump_presence_active_time` methods and their replication
versions).
Simplify some of the presence code by reducing duplicated code between
worker & non-worker modes.
The main change is to push some of the logic from `user_syncing` into
`set_state`. This is done by passing whether the user is setting the presence
via a `/sync` with a new `is_sync` flag to `set_state`. If this is `true` some
additional logic is performed:
* Don't override `busy` presence.
* Update the `last_user_sync_ts`.
* Never update the status message.
* Properly update retry_last_ts when hitting the maximum retry interval
This was broken in 1.87 when the maximum retry interval got changed from
almost infinite to a week (and made configurable).

This should only be called on HomeServer objects which are configured
to run background tasks, which is automatically (and properly) done via
the call to setup().
If we don't have all the auth events in a room then not all state events will have a chain cover index. Even so, we can still use the chain cover index on the events that do have it, rather than bailing and using the slower functions.
This situation should not arise for newly persisted rooms, as we check we have the full auth chain for each event, but can happen for existing rooms.
c.f. #15245
We were seeing serialization errors when taking out multiple read locks.
The transactions were retried, so isn't causing any failures.
Introduced in #15782.
Adds three new configuration variables:
* destination_min_retry_interval is identical to before (10mn).
* destination_retry_multiplier is now 2 instead of 5, the maximum value will
be reached slower.
* destination_max_retry_interval is one day instead of (essentially) infinity.
Capping this will cause destinations to continue to be retried sometimes instead
of being lost forever. The previous value was 2 ^ 62 milliseconds.
The location of the redacts field changes in room version 11. Ensure
it is copied to the *new* location for *old* room versions for
forwards-compatibility with clients.
Note that copying it to the *old* location for the *new* room version
was previously handled.
* Updates the rule ID.
* Use `event_property_is` instead of `event_match`.
This updates the implementation of MSC3958 to match the latest
text from the MSC.

Allow configuring the set of workers to proxy outbound federation traffic through (`outbound_federation_restricted_to`).
This is useful when you have a worker setup with `federation_sender` instances responsible for sending outbound federation requests and want to make sure *all* outbound federation traffic goes through those instances. Before this change, the generic workers would still contact federation themselves for things like profile lookups, backfill, etc. This PR allows you to set more strict access controls/firewall for all workers and only allow the `federation_sender`'s to contact the outside world.
Unix socket support for `federation` and `client` Listeners has existed now for a little while(since [1.81.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15353)), but there was one last hold out before it could be complete: HTTP Replication communication. This should finish it up. The Listeners would have always worked, but would have had no way to be talked to/at.

* Check required power levels earlier in createRoom handler.
- If a server was configured to reject the creation of rooms with E2EE
enabled (by specifying an unattainably high power level for
"m.room.encryption" in default_power_level_content_override), the 403
error was not being triggered until after the room was created and
before the "m.room.power_levels" was sent. This allowed a user to
access the partially-configured room and complete the setup of E2EE
and power levels manually.
- This change causes the power level overrides to be checked earlier and
the request to be rejected before the user gains access to the room.
- A new `_validate_room_config` method is added to contain checks that
should be run before a room is created.
- The new test case confirms that a user request is rejected by the new
validation method.

This is useful because when see that a relevant event is an `outlier` or `soft-failed`, then that's a good unexpected indicator explaining why it's not showing up. `filter_events_for_client` is used in `/sync`, `/messages`, `/context` which are all common end-to-end assertion touch points (also notifications, relations).

R30v2 has been out since 2021-07-19 (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10332)
and we started collecting stats on 2021-08-16. Since it's been over a year now
(almost 2 years), this is enough grace period for us to now rip it out.
Synapse will no longer send (or respond to) the unstable flags
for faster joins. These were only available behind a configuration
flag and handled in parallel with the stable flags.
This change fixes two memory leaks during `trial` test runs.
Garbage collection is disabled during each test case and a gen-0 GC is
run at the end of each test. However, when the gen-0 GC is run, the
`TestCase` object usually still holds references to the `HomeServer`
used during the test. As a result, the `HomeServer` gets promoted to
gen-1 and then never garbage collected.
Fix this by periodically running full GCs.
Additionally, fix `HomeServer`s leaking after tests that touch inbound
federation due to `FederationRateLimiter`s adding themselves to a global
set, by turning the set into a `WeakSet`.

Separate out a HTTP client for replication in preparation for
also supporting using UNIX sockets. The major difference from
the base class is that this does not use treq to handle HTTP
requests.
This stops media (and thumbnails) from being accessed from the
listed domains. It does not delete any already locally cached media,
but will prevent accessing it.
Note that admin APIs are unaffected by this change.
MSC3984 proxies /keys/query requests to appservices, but servers will
can also requests devices / keys from the /user/devices endpoint.
The formats are close enough that we can "proxy" that /user/devices to
appservices (by calling /keys/query) and then change the format of the
returned data before returning it over federation.
Behind a configuration flag this adds + to the list of allowed
characters in Matrix IDs. The main feature this enables is
using full E.164 phone numbers as Matrix IDs.
Add an `is_mine_server_name` method, similar to `is_mine_id`.
Ideally we would use this consistently, instead of sometimes comparing
against `hs.hostname` and other times reaching into
`hs.config.server.server_name`.
Also fix a bug in the tests where `hs.hostname` would sometimes differ
from `hs.config.server.server_name`.

#15514 introduced a regression where Synapse would encounter
`PartialDownloadError`s when fetching OpenID metadata for certain
providers on startup. Due to #8088, this prevents Synapse from starting
entirely.
Revert the change while we decide what to do about the regression.
Pushers tend to make many connections to the same HTTP host
(e.g. a new event comes in, causes events to be pushed, and then
the homeserver connects to the same host many times). Due to this
the per-host HTTP connection pool size was increased, but this does
not make sense for other SimpleHttpClients.
Add a parameter for the connection pool and override it for pushers
(making a separate SimpleHttpClient for pushers with the increased
configuration).
This returns the HTTP connection pool settings to the default Twisted
ones for non-pusher HTTP clients.
Adds an optional keyword argument to the /relations API which
will recurse a limited number of event relationships.
This will cause the API to return not just the events related to the
parent event, but also events related to those related to the parent
event, etc.
This is disabled by default behind an experimental configuration
flag and is currently implemented using prefixed parameters.
MSC3983 provides a way to request multiple OTKs at once from appservices,
this extends this concept to the Client-Server API.
Note that this will likely be spit out into a separate MSC, but is currently part of
MSC3983.
It can be useful to always return the fallback key when attempting to
claim keys. This adds an unstable endpoint for `/keys/claim` which
always returns fallback keys in addition to one-time-keys.
The fallback key(s) are not marked as "used" unless there are no
corresponding OTKs.
This is currently defined in MSC3983 (although likely to be split out
to a separate MSC). The endpoint shape may change or be requested
differently (i.e. a keyword parameter on the current endpoint), but the
core logic should be reasonable.
Before this change:
* `PerspectivesKeyFetcher` and `ServerKeyFetcher` write to `server_keys_json`.
* `PerspectivesKeyFetcher` also writes to `server_signature_keys`.
* `StoreKeyFetcher` reads from `server_signature_keys`.
After this change:
* `PerspectivesKeyFetcher` and `ServerKeyFetcher` write to `server_keys_json`.
* `PerspectivesKeyFetcher` also writes to `server_signature_keys`.
* `StoreKeyFetcher` reads from `server_keys_json`.
This results in `StoreKeyFetcher` now using the results from `ServerKeyFetcher`
in addition to those from `PerspectivesKeyFetcher`, i.e. keys which are directly
fetched from a server will now be pulled from the database instead of refetched.
An additional minor change is included to avoid creating a `PerspectivesKeyFetcher`
(and checking it) if no `trusted_key_servers` are configured.
The overall impact of this should be better usage of cached results:
* If a server has no trusted key servers configured then it should reduce how often keys
are fetched.
* if a server's trusted key server does not have a requested server's keys cached then it
should reduce how often keys are directly fetched.
These two lines:
```
config_obj = HomeServerConfig()
config_obj.parse_config_dict(config, "", "")
```
are called many times with the exact same value for `config`.
As the test suite is CPU-bound and non-negligeably time is spent in
`parse_config_dict`, this saves ~5% on the overall runtime of the Trial
test suite (tested with both `-j2` and `-j12` on a 12t CPU).
This is sadly rather limited, as the cache cannot be shared between
processes (it contains at least jinja2.Template and RLock objects which
aren't pickleable), and Trial tends to run close tests in different
processes.

This should help reduce the number of devices e.g. simple bots the repeatedly login rack up.
We only delete non-e2e devices as they should be safe to delete, whereas if we delete e2e devices for a user we may accidentally break their ability to receive e2e keys for a message.
Experimental support for MSC3983 is behind a configuration flag.
If enabled, for users which are exclusively owned by an application
service then the appservice will be queried for one-time keys *if*
there are none uploaded to Synapse.
This makes it so that we rely on the `device_id` to delete pushers on logout,
instead of relying on the `access_token_id`. This ensures we're not removing
pushers on token refresh, and prepares for a world without access token IDs
(also known as the OIDC).
This actually runs the `set_device_id_for_pushers` background update, which
was forgotten in #13831.
Note that for backwards compatibility it still deletes pushers based on the
`access_token` until the background update finishes.
Invalid mentions data received over the Client-Server API should
be rejected with a 400 error. This will hopefully stop clients from
sending invalid data, although does not help with data received
over federation.

This removes the experimental configuration option and

Also escapes any (experimental) push rule condition keys

Enables MSC3925 support by default, which:
* Includes the full edit event in the bundled aggregations of an
edited event.
* Stops modifying the original event's content to return the new
content from the edit event.
This is a backwards-incompatible change that is considered to be
"correct" by the spec.
This replaces the specific `is_user_mention` push rule condition
used in MSC3952 with the generic `exact_event_property_contains`
push rule condition from MSC3966.
It turns out that no clients rely on server-side aggregation of `m.annotation`
relationships: it's just not very useful as currently implemented.
It's also non-trivial to calculate.
I want to remove it from MSC2677, so to keep the implementation in line, let's
remove it here.
Internally the push rules module uses a `pattern_type` property for `event_match`
conditions (and `related_event_match`) to mark the condition as matching the
current user's Matrix ID or localpart.
This is leaky to the Client-Server API where a user can successfully set a condition
which provides `pattern_type` instead of `pattern` (note that there's no benefit to
doing this -- the user can just use their own Matrix ID or localpart instead). When
serializing back to the client the `pattern_type` property is converted into a proper
`pattern`.
The following changes are made to avoid this:
* Separate the `KnownCondition::EventMatch` enum value into `EventMatch`
and `EventMatchType`, each with their own expected properties. (Note that a
similar change is made for `RelatedEventMatch`.)
* Make it such that the `pattern_type` variants serialize to the same condition kind,
but cannot be deserialized (since they're only provided by base rules).
* As a final tweak, convert `user_id` vs. `user_localpart` values into an enum.

* Tweak DBAPI2 Protocol to be accepted by mypy 1.0
Some extra context in:
- https://github.com/matrix-org/python-canonicaljson/pull/57
- https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/6002
- https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common_issues.html#covariant-subtyping-of-mutable-protocol-members-is-rejected
* Pull in updated canonicaljson lib
so the protocol check just works
* Improve comments in opentracing
I tried to workaround the ignores but found it too much trouble.
I think the corresponding issue is
https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/12909. The mypy repo has a PR
claiming to fix this (https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/14677) which
might mean this gets resolved soon?
* Better annotation for INTERACTIVE_AUTH_CHECKERS
* Drive-by AUTH_TYPE annotation, to remove an ignore
This replaces the specific `is_room_mention` push rule condition
used in MSC3952 with the generic `exact_event_match` push rule
condition from MSC3758.
No functionality changes due to this.
Fixes#12801.
Complement tests are at
https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/567.
Avoid blocking on full state when handling a subsequent join into a
partial state room.
Also always perform a remote join into partial state rooms, since we do
not know whether the joining user has been banned and want to avoid
leaking history to banned users.

It's important that collections returned from `@cached` methods are not
modified, otherwise future retrievals from the cache will return the
modified collection.
This applies to the return values from `@cached` methods and the values
inside the dictionaries returned by `@cachedList` methods. It's not
necessary for the dictionaries returned by `@cachedList` methods
themselves to be read-only.

Ensure that the list of servers in a partial state room always contains
the server we joined off.
Also refactor `get_partial_state_servers_at_join` to return `None` when
the given room is no longer partial stated, to explicitly indicate when
the room has partial state. Otherwise it's not clear whether an empty
list means that the room has full state, or the room is partial stated,
but the server we joined off told us that there are no servers in the
room.

Since pyo3-log is initialized very early in the Python start-up
it caches the state of the loggers before they're fully initialized
(and thus are essentially disabled). Whenever we reload the
logging configuration we now also tell pyo3-log to discard
any cached logging configuration it has; it will refetch the
current logging configuration from Python at the next point
it logs.
This fixes Rust log lines not appearing in the homeserver logs.
The `parse_enum` helper pulls an enum value from the query string
(by delegating down to the parse_string helper with values generated
from the enum).
This is used to pull out "f" and "b" in most places and then we thread
the resulting Direction enum throughout more code.
The previous assumption was that the stream_id column was unique
(for a room ID, receipt type, user ID tuple), but this turned out to be
incorrect.
Now find the max stream ID, then map this back to a database-specific
row identifier and delete other rows which match the (room ID, receipt type,
user ID) tuple, but *not* the row ID.
#14910 fixed the regression introduced by #13873 where sqlite database
migrations would no longer run inside a transaction. However, it
committed the transaction before Synapse updated its bookkeeping of
which migrations have been run, which means that migrations may be run
again after they have completed successfully.
Leave the transaction open at the end of `executescript`, to restore the
old, correct behaviour. Also make the PostgreSQL behaviour consistent
with SQLite.
Fixes#14909.

* Better test for bad values in power levels events
The previous test only checked that Synapse didn't raise an exception,
but didn't check that we had correctly interpreted the value of the
dodgy power level.
It also conflated two things: bad room notification levels, and bad user
levels. There _is_ logic for converting the latter to integers, but we
should test it separately.
* Check we ignore types that don't convert to int
* Handle `None` values in `notifications.room`

MSC3952 defines push rules which searches for mentions in a list of
Matrix IDs in the event body, instead of searching the entire event

This is implemented behind an experimental configuration flag and
does not yet implement the backwards compatibility pieces of the MSC.
* Allow `AbstractSet` in `StrCollection`
Or else frozensets are excluded. This will be useful in an upcoming

* `rooms_to_exclude` -> `rooms_to_exclude_globally`
I am about to make use of this exclusion mechanism to exclude rooms for

specific sync.
* Better function names for internal sync methods
* Track a list of excluded rooms on SyncResultBuilder
I plan to feed a list of partially stated rooms for this sync to ignore
* Exclude partial state rooms during eager sync

So that we can work out which rooms have become fully-stated during a

* Fix mutation of `@cached` return value
This was fouling up a complement test added alongside this PR.
Excluding a room would mean the set of forgotten rooms in the cache

Currently, we will try to start a new partial state sync every time we
perform a remote join, which is undesirable if there is already one
running for a given room.
We intend to perform remote joins whenever additional local users wish
to join a partial state room, so let's ensure that we do not start more
than one concurrent partial state sync for any given room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a race condition where the homeserver leaves a room and later
rejoins while the partial state sync from the previous membership is
still running. There is no guarantee that the previous partial state
sync will process the latest join, so we restart it if needed.

Serving partial join responses is no longer experimental. They will only be served under the stable identifier if the the undocumented config flag experimental.msc3706_enabled is set to true.
Synapse continues to request a partial join only if the undocumented config flag experimental.faster_joins is set to true; this setting remains present and unaffected.
We were incorrectly checking if the *local* token had been advanced, rather than the token for the remote instance.
In practice, I don't think this has caused any bugs due to where we use `wait_for_stream_position`, as critically we don't use it on instances that also write to the given streams (and so the local token will lag behind all remote tokens).

When there are many synchronous requests waiting on a
`_PerHostRatelimiter`, each request will be started recursively just
after the previous request has completed. Under the right conditions,
this leads to stack exhaustion.
A common way for requests to become synchronous is when the remote
client disconnects early, because the homeserver is overloaded and slow
to respond.
Avoid stack exhaustion under these conditions by deferring subsequent
requests until the next reactor tick.

This change uses ICU (International Components for Unicode) to improve boundary detection in user search.
This change also adds a new dependency on libicu-dev and pkg-config for the Debian packages, which are available in all supported distros.
This should help reduce the number of devices e.g. simple bots the repeatedly login rack up.
We only delete non-e2e devices as they should be safe to delete, whereas if we delete e2e devices for a user we may accidentally break their ability to receive e2e keys for a message.
An empty cache does not mean the entity has no changed, if
it is earlier than the earliest known stream position return that
the entity *has* changed since the cache cannot accurately
answer that query.
A batch of changes intended to make it easier to trace to-device messages through the system.
The intention here is that a client can set a property org.matrix.msgid in any to-device message it sends. That ID is then included in any tracing or logging related to the message. (Suggestions as to where this field should be documented welcome. I'm not enthusiastic about speccing it - it's very much an optional extra to help with debugging.)
I've also generally improved the data we send to opentracing for these messages.
The internal methods of the StreamChangeCache were inconsistently
treating the earliest known stream position as valid. It is now treated as
invalid, meaning the cache cannot determine if an entity at the earliest
known stream position has changed or not.

Include the thread_id field when sending read receipts over

This restructures the PerDestinationQueue APIs to support

Fixes#9357.
This was the last untyped handler from the HomeServer object. Since
it was being treated as Any (and thus unchecked) it was being used
incorrectly in a few places.
When a local device list change is added to
`device_lists_changes_in_room`, the `converted_to_destinations` flag is
set to `FALSE` and the `_handle_new_device_update_async` background
process is started. This background process looks for unconverted rows
in `device_lists_changes_in_room`, copies them to
`device_lists_outbound_pokes` and updates the flag.
To update the `converted_to_destinations` flag, the database performs a
`DELETE` and `INSERT` internally, which fragments the table. To avoid
this, track unconverted rows using a `(stream ID, room ID)` position
instead of the flag.
From now on, the `converted_to_destinations` column indicates rows that
need converting to outbound pokes, but does not indicate whether the
conversion has already taken place.

Remove type hints from comments which have been added
as Python type hints. This helps avoid drift between comments
and reality, as well as removing redundant information.
Also adds some missing type hints which were simple to fill in.
As part of the database migration to support threaded receipts, there is
a possible window in between
`73/08thread_receipts_non_null.sql.postgres` removing the original
unique constraints on `receipts_linearized` and `receipts_graph` and the
`reeipts_linearized_unique_index` and `receipts_graph_unique_index`
background updates from `72/08thread_receipts.sql` completing where
the unique constraints on `receipts_linearized` and `receipts_graph` are
missing. Any emulated upserts on these tables must therefore be
performed with a lock held, otherwise duplicate rows can end up in the
tables when there are concurrent emulated upserts. Fix the missing lock.
Note that emulated upserts no longer happen by default on sqlite, since
the minimum supported version of sqlite supports native upserts by
default now.
Finally, clean up any duplicate receipts that may have crept in before
trying to create the `receipts_graph_unique_index` and
`receipts_linearized_unique_index` unique indexes.

Support a unified search query syntax which leverages more of the full-text
search of each database supported by Synapse.
Supports, with the same syntax across Postgresql 11+ and Sqlite:
- quoted "search terms"
- `AND`, `OR`, `-` (negation) operators
- Matching words based on their stem, e.g. searches for "dog" matches
documents containing "dogs".
This is achieved by
- If on postgresql 11+, pass the user input to `websearch_to_tsquery`
- If on sqlite, manually parse the query and transform it into the sqlite-specific
query syntax.
Note that postgresql 10, which is close to end-of-life, falls back to using
`phraseto_tsquery`, which only supports a subset of the features.
Multiple terms separated by a space are implicitly ANDed.
Note that:
1. There is no escaping of full-text syntax that might be supported by the database;
e.g. `NOT`, `NEAR`, `*` in sqlite. This runs the risk that people might discover this
as accidental functionality and depend on something we don't guarantee.
2. English text is assumed for stemming. To support other languages, either the target
language needs to be known at the time of indexing the message (via room metadata,
or otherwise), or a separate index for each language supported could be created.

Fix MSC3030 `/timestamp_to_event` endpoint returning `outliers` that it has no idea whether are near a gap or not (and therefore unable to determine whether it's actually the closest event). The reason Synapse doesn't know whether an `outlier` is next to a gap is because our gap checks rely on entries in the `event_edges`, `event_forward_extremeties`, and `event_backward_extremities` tables which is [not the case for `outliers`](2c63cdcc3f/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md (outliers)).
Also fixes MSC3030 Complement `can_paginate_after_getting_remote_event_from_timestamp_to_event_endpoint` test flake. Although this acted flakey in Complement, if `sync_partial_state` raced and beat us before `/timestamp_to_event`, then even if we retried the failing `/context` request it wouldn't work until we made this Synapse change. With this PR, Synapse will never return an `outlier` event so that test will always go and ask over federation.
Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13944
### Why did this fail before? Why was it flakey?
Sleuthing the server logs on the [CI failure](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/actions/runs/3149623842/jobs/5121449357#step:5:5805), it looks like `hs2:/timestamp_to_event` found `$NP6-oU7mIFVyhtKfGvfrEQX949hQX-T-gvuauG6eurU` as an `outlier` event locally. Then when we went and asked for it via `/context`, since it's an `outlier`, it was filtered out of the results -> `You don't have permission to access that event.`
This is reproducible when `sync_partial_state` races and persists `$NP6-oU7mIFVyhtKfGvfrEQX949hQX-T-gvuauG6eurU` as an `outlier` before we evaluate `get_event_for_timestamp(...)`. To consistently reproduce locally, just add a delay at the [start of `get_event_for_timestamp(...)`](cb20b885cb/synapse/handlers/room.py (L1470-L1496)) so it always runs after `sync_partial_state` completes.

from twisted.internet import task as twisted_task
d = twisted_task.deferLater(self.hs.get_reactor(), 3.5)
await d
```
In a run where it passes, on `hs2`, `get_event_for_timestamp(...)` finds a different event locally which is next to a gap and we request from a closer one from `hs1` which gets backfilled. And since the backfilled event is not an `outlier`, it's returned as expected during `/context`.
With this PR, Synapse will never return an `outlier` event so that test will always go and ask over federation.
