Fix logging context warnings when losing replication connection (#10984)
Instead of triggering `__exit__` manually on the replication handler's
logging context, use it as a context manager so that there is an
`__enter__` call to balance the `__exit__`.

Fix opentracing and Prometheus metrics for replication requests (#10996)
This commit fixes two bugs to do with decorators not instrumenting
`ReplicationEndpoint`'s `send_request` correctly. There are two
decorators on `send_request`: Prometheus' `Gauge.track_inprogress()`
and Synapse's `opentracing.trace`.

`Gauge.track_inprogress()` does not have any support for async
functions when used as a decorator. Since async functions behave like
regular functions that return coroutines, only the creation of the
coroutine was covered by the metric and none of the actual body of
`send_request`.

`Gauge.track_inprogress()` returns a regular, non-async function
wrapping `send_request`, which is the source of the next bug.
The `opentracing.trace` decorator would normally handle async functions
correctly, but since the wrapped `send_request` is a non-async function,
the decorator ends up suffering from the same issue as
`Gauge.track_inprogress()`: the opentracing span only measures the
creation of the coroutine and none of the actual function body.

Using `Gauge.track_inprogress()` as a context manager instead of a
decorator resolves both bugs.

Require direct references to configuration variables. (#10985)
This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required

Extend `ResponseCache` to pass a context object into the callback (#10157)
This is the first of two PRs which seek to address #8518. This first PR lays the groundwork by extending ResponseCache; a second PR (#10158) will update the SyncHandler to actually use it, and fix the bug.

The idea here is that we allow the callback given to ResponseCache.wrap to decide whether its result should be cached or not. We do that by (optionally) passing a ResponseCacheContext into it, which it can modify.

Remove `keylen` from `LruCache`. (#9993)
`keylen` seems to be a thing that is frequently incorrectly set, and we don't really need it.

The only time it was used was to figure out if we had removed a subtree in `del_multi`, which we can do better by changing `TreeCache.pop` to return a different type (`TreeCacheNode`).

Commits should be independently reviewable.

Always use the name as the log ID. (#9829)
As far as I can tell our logging contexts are meant to log the request ID, or sometimes the request ID followed by a suffix (this is generally stored in the name field of LoggingContext). There's also code to log the name@memory location, but I'm not sure this is ever used.

This simplifies the code paths to require every logging context to have a name and use that in logging. For sub-contexts (created via nested_logging_contexts, defer_to_threadpool, Measure) we use the current context's str (which becomes their name or the string "sentinel") and then potentially modify that (e.g. add a suffix).

Make RateLimiter class check for ratelimit overrides (#9711)
This should fix a class of bug where we forget to check if e.g. the appservice shouldn't be ratelimited.

We also check the `ratelimit_override` table to check if the user has ratelimiting disabled. That table is really only meant to override the event sender ratelimiting, so we don't use any values from it (as they might not make sense for different rate limits), but we do infer that if ratelimiting is disabled for the user we should disabled all ratelimits.

Fixes #9663

Rather than relying on `outlier` being in the `internal_metadata` column,
populate it based on the `events.outlier` column.

Ultimately, this will allow us to stop writing it to the database. For now, we
have to grandfather it back in so as to maintain compatibility with older
versions of Synapse.

Generalise _maybe_store_room_on_invite (#8754)
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.

Add ability for access tokens to belong to one user but grant access to another user. (#8616)
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.

Don't pull event from DB when handling replication traffic. (#8669)
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.

Start fewer opentracing spans (#8640)
#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.

Make event persisters periodically announce position over replication. (#8499)
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.

instances.

Fix MultiWriteIdGenerator's handling of restarts. (#8374)
On startup `MultiWriteIdGenerator` fetches the maximum stream ID for
each instance from the table and uses that as its initial "current
position" for each writer. This is problematic as a) it involves either
a scan of events table or an index (neither of which is ideal), and b)
if rows are being persisted out of order elsewhere while the process
restarts then using the maximum stream ID is not correct. This could
theoretically lead to race conditions where e.g. events that are
persisted out of order are not sent down sync streams.

We fix this by creating a new table that tracks the current positions of
each writer to the stream, and update it each time we finish persisting
a new entry. This is a relatively small overhead when persisting events.
However for the cache invalidation stream this is a much bigger relative
overhead, so instead we note that for invalidation we don't actually
care about reliability over restarts (as there's no caches to
invalidate) and simply don't bother reading and writing to the new table
in that particular case.

Add EventStreamPosition type (#8388)
The idea is to remove some of the places we pass around `int`, where it can represent one of two things:

1. the position of an event in the stream; or
2. a token that partitions the stream, used as part of the stream tokens.

The valid operations are then:

1. did a position happen before or after a token;
2. get all events that happened before or after a token; and
3. get all events between two tokens.

(Note that we don't want to allow other operations as we want to change the tokens to be vector clocks rather than simple ints)

Use slots in attrs classes where possible (#8296)
slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.

Add experimental support for sharding event persister. Again. (#8294)
This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:

1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.

Clean up `Notifier.on_new_room_event` code path (#8288)
The idea here is that we pass the `max_stream_id` to everything, and only use the stream ID of the particular event to figure out *when* the max stream position has caught up to the event and we can notify people about it.

This is to maintain the distinction between the position of an item in the stream (i.e. event A has stream ID 513) and a token that can be used to partition the stream (i.e. give me all events after stream ID 352). This distinction becomes important when the tokens are more complicated than a single number, which they will be once we start tracking the position of multiple writers in the tokens.

The valid operations here are:

1. Is a position before or after a token
2. Fetching all events between two tokens
3. Merging multiple tokens to get the "max", i.e. `C = max(A, B)` means that for all positions P where P is before A *or* before B, then P is before C.

Future PR will change the token type to a dedicated type.
