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
Checks that the localpart returned by mapping providers for SAML and
OIDC are valid before registering new users.
Extends the OIDC tests for existing users and invalid data.
* Consistently use room_id from federation request body
Some federation APIs have a redundant `room_id` path param (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2330). We should make sure we
consistently use either the path param or the body param, and the body param is
easier.

`_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.
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.
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.
Maybe helps #8574

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`.
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

* 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 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.

Currently when using multiple event persisters we (in the worst case) don't tell clients about events until all event persisters have persisted new events after the original event. This is a suboptimal, especially if one of the event persisters goes down.
To handle this, we encode the position of each event persister in the room tokens so that we can send events to clients immediately. To reduce the size of the token we do two things:
1. We create a unique immutable persistent mapping between instance names and a generated small integer ID, which we can encode in the tokens instead of the instance name; and
2. We encode the "persisted upto position" of the room token and then only explicitly include instances that have positions strictly greater than that.
The new tokens look something like: `m3478~1.3488~2.3489`, where the first number is the min position, and the subsequent `-` separated pairs are the instance ID to positions map. (We use `.` and `~` as separators as they're URL safe and not already used by `StreamToken`).
Lots of different module apis is not easy to maintain.
Rather than adding yet another ModuleApi(hs, hs.get_auth_handler()) incantation, first add an hs.get_module_api() method and use it where possible.
* Optimise and test state fetching for 3p event rules
Getting all the events at once is much more efficient than getting them
individually
* Test that 3p event rules can modify events
PR #8292 tried to maintain backwards compat with modules which don't provide a
`check_visibility_can_be_modified` method, but the tests weren't being run,
and the check didn't work.
This PR allows `ThirdPartyEventRules` modules to view, manipulate and block changes to the state of whether a room is published in the public rooms directory.
While the idea of whether a room is in the public rooms list is not kept within an event in the room, `ThirdPartyEventRules` generally deal with controlling which modifications can happen to a room. Public rooms fits within that idea, even if its toggle state isn't controlled through a state event.
There's no need for it to be in the dict as well as the events table. Instead,
we store it in a separate attribute in the EventInternalMetadata object, and
populate that on load.
This means that we can rely on it being correctly populated for any event which
has been persited to the database.
This is so we can tell what is going on when things are taking a while to start up.
The main change here is to ensure that transactions that are created during startup get correctly logged like normal transactions.
#7124 changed the behaviour of remote thumbnails so that the thumbnailing method was included in the filename of the thumbnail. To support existing files, it included a fallback so that we would check the old filename if the new filename didn't exist.
Unfortunately, it didn't apply this logic to storage providers, so any thumbnails stored on such a storage provider was broken.
For negative streams we have to negate the internal stream ID before
querying the DB.
The effect of this bug was to query far too many rows, slowing start up
time, but we would correctly filter the results afterwards so there was
no ill effect.
This converts a few more of our inline HTML templates to Jinja. This is somewhat part of #7280 and should make it a bit easier to customize these in the future.
The idea is that in future tokens will encode a mapping of instance to position. However, we don't want to include the full instance name in the string representation, so instead we'll have a mapping between instance name and an immutable integer ID in the DB that we can use instead. We'll then do the lookup when we serialize/deserialize the token (we could alternatively pass around an `Instance` type that includes both the name and ID, but that turns out to be a lot more invasive).
This was a bit unweildy for what I wanted: in particular, I wanted to assign
each measurement straight into a bucket, rather than storing an intermediate
Counter which didn't do any bucketing at all.
I've replaced it with something that is hopefully a bit easier to use.
(I'm not entirely sure what the difference between a HistogramMetricFamily and
a GaugeHistogramMetricFamily is, but given our counters can go down as well as
up the latter *sounds* more accurate?)
Our hacked-up `_exposition.py` was stripping out some samples it shouldn't

* Fix table scan of events on worker startup.
This happened because we assumed "new" writers had an initial stream
position of 0, so the replication code tried to fetch all events written
by the instance between 0 and the current position.
Instead, set the initial position of new writers to the current
persisted up to position, on the assumption that new writers won't have
written anything before that point.
* Consider old writers coming back as "new".
Otherwise we'd try and fetch entries between the old stale token and the
current position, even though it won't have written any rows.

Broken in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8275 and has yet to be put in a release. Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8418.
`next_link` is an optional parameter. However, we were checking whether the `next_link` param was valid, even if it wasn't provided. In that case, `next_link` was `None`, which would clearly not be a valid URL.
This would prevent password reset and other operations if `next_link` was not provided, and the `next_link_domain_whitelist` config option was set.
* Remove `on_timeout_cancel` from `timeout_deferred`
The `on_timeout_cancel` param to `timeout_deferred` wasn't always called on a
timeout (in particular if the canceller raised an exception), so it was
unreliable. It was also only used in one place, and to be honest it's easier to
do what it does a different way.
* Fix handling of connection timeouts in outgoing http requests
Turns out that if we get a timeout during connection, then a different
exception is raised, which wasn't always handled correctly.
To fix it, catch the exception in SimpleHttpClient and turn it into a
RequestTimedOutError (which is already a documented exception).
Also add a description to RequestTimedOutError so that we can see which stage
it failed at.
* Fix incorrect handling of timeouts reading federation responses
This was trapping the wrong sort of TimeoutError, so was never being hit.
The effect was relatively minor, but we should fix this so that it does the
expected thing.
* Fix inconsistent handling of `timeout` param between methods
`get_json`, `put_json` and `delete_json` were applying a different timeout to
the response body to `post_json`; bring them in line and test.

This adds configuration flags that will match a user to pre-existing users
when logging in via OpenID Connect. This is useful when switching to
an existing SSO system.
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.
#8037 changed the default `autoescape` option when rendering Jinja2 templates from `False` to `True`. This caused some bugs, noticeably around redirect URLs being escaped in SAML2 auth confirmation templates, causing those URLs to break for users.
This change returns the previous behaviour as it stood. We may want to look at each template individually and see whether autoescaping is a good idea at some point, but for now lets just fix the breakage.
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)
