Reproducible on a federated homeserver when there is a membership auth event as a floating outlier. Then when we try to backfill one of that persons messages, it has missing membership auth to fetch which caused us to mistakenly replace the `context` for the message with that of the floating membership `outlier` event. Since `outliers` have no `state` or `state_group`, the error bubbles up when we continue down the persisting route: `sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: event_to_state_groups.state_group`
Call stack:
```
backfill
_auth_and_persist_event
_check_event_auth
_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth
```

* Test for appservices too
MSC: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2033
The MSC has passed FCP, which means stable endpoints can be used.

* parse_{boolean,integer}
* parse_{boolean,integer}_from_args
* parse_json_{value,object}_from_request
And fixes any incorrect calls that resulted from unknown types.
This adds an API for third-party plugin modules to implement account validity, so they can provide this feature instead of Synapse. The module implementing the current behaviour for this feature can be found at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-email-account-validity.
To allow for a smooth transition between the current feature and the new module, hooks have been added to the existing account validity endpoints to allow their behaviours to be overridden by a module.
This is to help with performance, where trying to connect to thousands
of hosts at once can consume a lot of CPU (due to TLS etc).

Previously only world-readable rooms were shown. This means that
rooms which are public, knockable, or invite-only with a pending invitation,
are included in a space summary. It also applies the same logic to
the experimental room version from MSC3083 -- if a user has access
to the proper allowed rooms then it is shown in the spaces summary.
This change is made per MSC3173 allowing stripped state of a room to
be shown to any potential room joiner.
The idea here is to stop people sending things that aren't joins/leaves/knocks through these endpoints: previously you could send anything you liked through them. I wasn't able to find any security holes from doing so, but it doesn't sound like a good thing.
This implements refresh tokens, as defined by MSC2918
This MSC has been implemented client side in Hydrogen Web: vector-im/hydrogen-web#235
The basics of the MSC works: requesting refresh tokens on login, having the access tokens expire, and using the refresh token to get a new one.

Required some fixes due to merge conflicts with #6739, but nothing too hairy. The first commit is the same as the original (after merge conflict resolution) then two more for compatibility with the latest sync code.
If a room is remote and we don't have a user in it, always try to join it. It might fail if the room is invite-only, but we don't have a user to invite with, so at this point it's the best we can do.
Fixes#10233 (at least to some extent)
This could cause a minor data leak if someone defined a non-restricted join rule
with an allow key or used a restricted join rule in an older room version, but this is
unlikely.
Additionally this starts adding unit tests to the spaces summary handler.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
* Room version 7 for knocking.

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.
Fixes#1834.
`get_new_events_for_appservice` internally calls `get_events_as_list`, which will filter out any rejected events. If all returned events are filtered out, `_notify_interested_services` will return without updating the last handled stream position. If there are 100 consecutive such events, processing will halt altogether.
Breaking the loop is now done by checking whether we're up-to-date with `current_max` in the loop condition, instead of relying on an empty `events` list.

Empirically, this helped my server considerably when handling gaps in Matrix HQ. The problem was that we would repeatedly call have_seen_events for the same set of (50K or so) auth_events, each of which would take many minutes to complete, even though it's only an index scan.

`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.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9962 uncovered that we accidentally removed all but one of the presence updates that we store in the database when persisting multiple updates. This could cause users' presence state to be stale.
The bug was fixed in #10014, and this PR just adds a test that failed on the old code, and was used to initially verify the bug.
The test attempts to insert some presence into the database in a batch using `PresenceStore.update_presence`, and then simply pulls it out again.
- use a tuple rather than a list for the iterable that is passed into the
wrapped function, for performance
- test that we can pass an iterable and that keys are correctly deduped.
This should help ensure that equivalent results are achieved between
homeservers querying for the summary of a space.
This implements modified MSC1772 rules, according to MSC2946.
The different is that the origin_server_ts of the m.room.create event
is not used as a tie-breaker since this might not be known if the
homeserver is not part of the room.

I went through and removed a bunch of cruft that was lying around for compatibility with old Python versions. This PR also will now prevent Synapse from starting unless you're running Python 3.6+.
First of all, a fixup to `FakeChannel` which is needed to make it work with the default HTTP channel implementation.
Secondly, it looks like we no longer need `_PushHTTPChannel`, because as of #8013, the producer that gets attached to the `HTTPChannel` is now an `IPushProducer`. This is good, because it means we can remove a whole load of test-specific boilerplate which causes variation between tests and production.
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).
This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).

At the moment, if you'd like to share presence between local or remote users, those users must be sharing a room together. This isn't always the most convenient or useful situation though.
This PR adds a module to Synapse that will allow deployments to set up extra logic on where presence updates should be routed. The module must implement two methods, `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`. These methods are given presence updates or user IDs and must return information that Synapse will use to grant passing presence updates around.
A method is additionally added to `ModuleApi` which allows triggering a set of users to receive the current, online presence information for all users they are considered interested in. This is the equivalent of that user receiving presence information during an initial sync.
The goal of this module is to be fairly generic and useful for a variety of applications, with hard requirements being:
* Sending state for a specific set or all known users to a defined set of local and remote users.
* The ability to trigger an initial sync for specific users, so they receive all current state.
`room_invite_state_types` was inconvenient as a configuration setting, because
anyone that ever set it would not receive any new types that were added to the
defaults. Here, we deprecate the old setting, and replace it with a couple of
new settings under `room_prejoin_state`.
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
Running `dmypy run` will do a `mypy` check while spinning up a daemon
that makes rerunning `dmypy run` a lot faster.
`dmypy` doesn't support `follow_imports = silent` and has
`local_partial_types` enabled, so this PR enables those options and
fixes the issues that were newly raised. Note that `local_partial_types`
will be enabled by default in upcoming mypy releases.
Currently federation catchup will send the last *local* event that we
failed to send to the remote. This can cause issues for large rooms
where lots of servers have sent events while the remote server was down,
as when it comes back up again it'll be flooded with events from various
points in the DAG.
Instead, let's make it so that all the servers send the most recent
events, even if its not theirs. The remote should deduplicate the
events, so there shouldn't be much overhead in doing this.
Alternatively, the servers could only send local events if they were
also extremities and hope that the other server will send the event
over, but that is a bit risky.
This bug was discovered by DINUM. We were modifying `serialized_event["content"]`, which - if you've got `USE_FROZEN_DICTS` turned on or are [using a third party rules module](17cd48fe51/synapse/events/third_party_rules.py (L73-L76)) - will raise a 500 if you try to a edit a reply to a message.
`serialized_event["content"]` could be set to the edit event's content, instead of a copy of it, which is bad as we attempt to modify it. Instead, we also end up modifying the original event's content. DINUM uses a third party rules module, which meant the event's content got frozen and thus an exception was raised.
To be clear, the problem is not that the event's content was frozen. In fact doing so helped us uncover the fact we weren't copying event content correctly.
Instead of if the user does not have a password hash. This allows a SSO
user to add a password to their account, but only if the local password
database is configured.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9572
When a SSO user logs in for the first time, we create a local Matrix user for them. This goes through the register_user flow, which ends up triggering the spam checker. Spam checker modules don't currently have any way to differentiate between a user trying to sign up initially, versus an SSO user (whom has presumably already been approved elsewhere) trying to log in for the first time.
This PR passes `auth_provider_id` as an argument to the `check_registration_for_spam` function. This argument will contain an ID of an SSO provider (`"saml"`, `"cas"`, etc.) if one was used, else `None`.
Federation catch up mode is very inefficient if the number of events
that the remote server has missed is small, since handling gaps can be
very expensive, c.f. #9492.
Instead of going into catch up mode whenever we see an error, we instead
do so only if we've backed off from trying the remote for more than an
hour (the assumption being that in such a case it is more than a
transient failure).
Unfortunately this doesn't test re-joining the room since
that requires having another homeserver to query over
federation, which isn't easily doable in unit tests.
This great big stack of commits is a a whole load of hoop-jumping to make it easier to store additional values in login tokens, and then to actually store the SSO Identity Provider in the login token. (Making use of that data will follow in a subsequent PR.)
### Changes proposed in this PR
- Add support for the `no_proxy` and `NO_PROXY` environment variables
- Internally rely on urllib's [`proxy_bypass_environment`](bdb941be42/Lib/urllib/request.py (L2519))
- Extract env variables using urllib's `getproxies`/[`getproxies_environment`](bdb941be42/Lib/urllib/request.py (L2488)) which supports lowercase + uppercase, preferring lowercase, except for `HTTP_PROXY` in a CGI environment
This does contain behaviour changes for consumers so making sure these are called out:
- `no_proxy`/`NO_PROXY` is now respected
- lowercase `https_proxy` is now allowed and taken over `HTTPS_PROXY`

* Split ShardedWorkerHandlingConfig
This is so that we have a type level understanding of when it is safe to
call `get_instance(..)` (as opposed to `should_handle(..)`).
* Remove special cases in ShardedWorkerHandlingConfig.
`ShardedWorkerHandlingConfig` tried to handle the various different ways
it was possible to configure federation senders and pushers. This led to
special cases that weren't hit during testing.
To fix this the handling of the different cases is moved from there and
`generic_worker` into the worker config class. This allows us to have
the logic in one place and allows the rest of the code to ignore the
different cases.
This PR remove the cache for the `get_shared_rooms_for_users` storage method (the db method driving the experimental "what rooms do I share with this user?" feature: [MSC2666](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2666)). Currently subsequent requests to the endpoint will return the same result, even if your shared rooms with that user have changed.
The cache was added in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7785, but we forgot to ensure it was invalidated appropriately.
Upon attempting to invalidate it, I found that the cache had to be entirely invalidated whenever a user (remote or local) joined or left a room. This didn't make for a very useful cache, especially for a function that may or may not be called very often. Thus, I've opted to remove it instead of invalidating it.
This PR attempts to eliminate unnecessary presence sending work when your local server joins a room, or when a remote server joins a room your server is participating in by processing state deltas in chunks rather than individually.
---
When your server joins a room for the first time, it requests the historical state as well. This chunk of new state is passed to the presence handler which, after filtering that state down to only membership joins, will send presence updates to homeservers for each join processed.
It turns out that we were being a bit naive and processing each event individually, and sending out presence updates for every one of those joins. Even if many different joins were users on the same server (hello IRC bridges), we'd send presence to that same homeserver for every remote user join we saw.
This PR attempts to deduplicate all of that by processing the entire batch of state deltas at once, instead of only doing each join individually. We process the joins and note down which servers need which presence:
* If it was a local user join, send that user's latest presence to all servers in the room
* If it was a remote user join, send the presence for all local users in the room to that homeserver
We deduplicate by inserting all of those pending updates into a dictionary of the form:
```
{
server_name1: {presence_update1, ...},
server_name2: {presence_update1, presence_update2, ...}
}
```
Only after building this dict do we then start sending out presence updates.
This PR adds a homeserver config option, `user_directory.prefer_local_users`, that when enabled will show local users higher in user directory search results than remote users. This option is off by default.
Note that turning this on doesn't necessarily mean that remote users will always be put below local users, but they should be assuming all other ranking factors (search query match, profile information present etc) are identical.
This is useful for, say, University networks that are openly federating, but want to prioritise local students and staff in the user directory over other random users.
Add off-by-default configuration settings to:
- disable putting an invitee's profile info in invite events
- disable profile lookup via federation

- Clarify the sample configuration for changes made to the template loading code. ([\#9310](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9310))
Fixes some exceptions if the room state isn't quite as expected.
If the expected state events aren't found, try to find them in the
historical room state. If they still aren't found, fallback to a reasonable,
although ugly, value.
This could arguably replace the existing admin API for `/members`, however that is out of scope of this change.
This sort of endpoint is ideal for moderation use cases as well as other applications, such as needing to retrieve various bits of information about a room to perform a task (like syncing power levels between two places). This endpoint exposes nothing more than an admin would be able to access with a `select *` query on their database.
* Fixes a case where no summary text was returned.
* The use of messages_from_person vs. messages_from_person_and_others
was tweaked to depend on whether there was 1 sender or multiple senders,
not based on if there was 1 room or multiple rooms.
