This adds support for the Incremental xDS protocol when using xDS v3. This is best reviewed commit-by-commit and will not be squashed when merged.
Union of all commit messages follows to give an overarching summary:
xds: exclusively support incremental xDS when using xDS v3
Attempts to use SoTW via v3 will fail, much like attempts to use incremental via v2 will fail.
Work around a strange older envoy behavior involving empty CDS responses over incremental xDS.
xds: various cleanups and refactors that don't strictly concern the addition of incremental xDS support
Dissolve the connectionInfo struct in favor of per-connection ResourceGenerators instead.
Do a better job of ensuring the xds code uses a well configured logger that accurately describes the connected client.
xds: pull out checkStreamACLs method in advance of a later commit
xds: rewrite SoTW xDS protocol tests to use protobufs rather than hand-rolled json strings
In the test we very lightly reuse some of the more boring protobuf construction helper code that is also technically under test. The important thing of the protocol tests is testing the protocol. The actual inputs and outputs are largely already handled by the xds golden output tests now so these protocol tests don't have to do double-duty.
This also updates the SoTW protocol test to exclusively use xDS v2 which is the only variant of SoTW that will be supported in Consul 1.10.
xds: default xds.Server.AuthCheckFrequency at use-time instead of construction-time
This config entry is being renamed primarily because in k8s the name
cluster could be confusing given that the config entry applies across
federated datacenters.
Additionally, this config entry will only apply to Consul as a service
mesh, so the more generic "cluster" name is not needed.
This PR replaces the original boolean used to configure transparent
proxy mode. It was replaced with a string mode that can be set to:
- "": Empty string is the default for when the setting should be
defaulted from other configuration like config entries.
- "direct": Direct mode is how applications originally opted into the
mesh. Proxy listeners need to be dialed directly.
- "transparent": Transparent mode enables configuring Envoy as a
transparent proxy. Traffic must be captured and redirected to the
inbound and outbound listeners.
This PR also adds a struct for transparent proxy specific configuration.
Initially this is not stored as a pointer. Will revisit that decision
before GA.
This is done because after removing ID and NodeName from
ServiceConfigRequest we will no longer know whether a request coming in
is for a Consul client earlier than v1.10.
Note that this does NOT upgrade to xDS v3. That will come in a future PR.
Additionally:
- Ignored staticcheck warnings about how github.com/golang/protobuf is deprecated.
- Shuffled some agent/xds imports in advance of a later xDS v3 upgrade.
- Remove support for envoy 1.13.x but don't add in 1.17.x yet. We have to wait until the xDS v3 support is added in a follow-up PR.

Currently when passing hostname clusters to Envoy, we set each service instance registered with Consul as an LbEndpoint for the cluster.
However, Envoy can only handle one per cluster:
[2020-06-04 18:32:34.094][1][warning][config] [source/common/config/grpc_subscription_impl.cc:87] gRPC config for type.googleapis.com/envoy.api.v2.Cluster rejected: Error adding/updating cluster(s) dc2.internal.ddd90499-9b47-91c5-4616-c0cbf0fc358a.consul: LOGICAL_DNS clusters must have a single locality_lb_endpoint and a single lb_endpoint, server.dc2.consul: LOGICAL_DNS clusters must have a single locality_lb_endpoint and a single lb_endpoint
Envoy is currently handling this gracefully by only picking one of the endpoints. However, we should avoid passing multiple to avoid these warning logs.
This PR:
* Ensures we only pass one endpoint, which is tied to one service instance.
* We prefer sending an endpoint which is marked as Healthy by Consul.
* If no endpoints are healthy we emit a warning and skip the cluster.
* If multiple unique hostnames are spread across service instances we emit a warning and let the user know which will be resolved.
The DNS resolution will be handled by Envoy and defaults to LOGICAL_DNS. This discovery type can be overridden on a per-gateway basis with the envoy_dns_discovery_type Gateway Option.
If a service contains an instance with a hostname as an address we set the Envoy cluster to use DNS as the discovery type rather than EDS. Since both mesh gateways and terminating gateways route to clusters using SNI, whenever there is a mix of hostnames and IP addresses associated with a service we use the hostname + CDS rather than the IPs + EDS.
Note that we detect hostnames by attempting to parse the service instance's address as an IP. If it is not a valid IP we assume it is a hostname.
This commit adds the necessary changes to allow an ingress gateway to
route traffic from a single defined port to multiple different upstream
services in the Consul mesh.
To do this, we now require all HTTP requests coming into the ingress
gateway to specify a Host header that matches "<service-name>.*" in
order to correctly route traffic to the correct service.
- Differentiate multiple listener's route names by port
- Adds a case in xds for allowing default discovery chains to create a
route configuration when on an ingress gateway. This allows default
services to easily use host header routing
- ingress-gateways have a single route config for each listener
that utilizes domain matching to route to different services.
* Implements a simple, tcp ingress gateway workflow
This adds a new type of gateway for allowing Ingress traffic into Connect from external services.

If a proxied service is a gRPC or HTTP2 service, but a path is exposed
using the HTTP1 or TCP protocol, Envoy should not be configured with
`http2ProtocolOptions` for the cluster backing the path.
A situation where this comes up is a gRPC service whose healthcheck or
metrics route (e.g. for Prometheus) is an HTTP1 service running on
a different port. Previously, if these were exposed either using
`Expose: { Checks: true }` or `Expose: { Paths: ... }`, Envoy would
still be configured to communicate with the path over HTTP2, which would
not work properly.
This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
* xDS Mesh Gateway Resolver Subset Fixes
The first fix was that clusters were being generated for every service resolver subset regardless of there being any service instances of the associated service in that dc. The previous logic didn’t care at all but now it will omit generating those clusters unless we also have service instances that should be proxied.
The second fix was to respect the DefaultSubset of a service resolver so that mesh-gateways would configure the endpoints of the unnamed subset cluster to only those endpoints matched by the default subsets filters.
* Refactor the gateway endpoint generation to be a little easier to read
* Adds 'limits' field to the upstream configuration of a connect proxy
This allows a user to configure the envoy connect proxy with
'max_connections', 'max_queued_requests', and 'max_concurrent_requests'. These
values are defined in the local proxy on a per-service instance basis
and should thus NOT be thought of as a global-level or even service-level value.
Fixes: #5396
This PR adds a proxy configuration stanza called expose. These flags register
listeners in Connect sidecar proxies to allow requests to specific HTTP paths from outside of the node. This allows services to protect themselves by only
listening on the loopback interface, while still accepting traffic from non
Connect-enabled services.
Under expose there is a boolean checks flag that would automatically expose all
registered HTTP and gRPC check paths.
This stanza also accepts a paths list to expose individual paths. The primary
use case for this functionality would be to expose paths for third parties like
Prometheus or the kubelet.
Listeners for requests to exposed paths are be configured dynamically at run
time. Any time a proxy, or check can be registered, a listener can also be
created.
In this initial implementation requests to these paths are not
authenticated/encrypted.
