This change appears quite large, but is logically fairly simple.
Previously, the `auth` module was structured around global state in a
number of ways:
- There existed global instances for the authenticator and the
authorizer, which were accessed pervasively throughout the system
through `auth::authenticator::get()` and `auth::authorizer::get()`,
respectively. These instances needed to be initialized before they
could be used with `auth::authenticator::setup(sstring type_name)`
and `auth::authorizer::setup(sstring type_name)`.
- The implementation of the `auth::auth` functions and the authenticator
and authorizer depended on resources accessed globally through
`cql3::get_local_query_processor()` and
`service::get_local_migration_manager()`.
- CQL statements would check for access and manage users through static
functions in `auth::auth`. These functions would access the global
authenticator and authorizer instances and depended on the necessary
systems being started before they were used.
This change eliminates global state from all of these.
The specific changes are:
- Move out `allow_all_authenticator` and `allow_all_authorizer` into
their own files so that they're constructed like any other
authenticator or authorizer.
- Delete `auth.hh` and `auth.cc`. Constants and helper functions useful
for implementing functionality in the `auth` module have moved to
`common.hh`.
- Remove silent global dependency in
`auth::authenticated_user::is_super()` on the auth* service in favour
of a new function `auth::is_super_user()` with an explicit auth*
service argument.
- Remove global authenticator and authorizer instances, as well as the
`setup()` functions.
- Expose dependency on the auth* service in
`auth::authorizer::authorize()` and `auth::authorizer::list()`, which
is necessary to check for superuser status.
- Add an explicit `service::migration_manager` argument to the
authenticators and authorizers so they can announce metadata tables.
- The permissions cache now requires an auth* service reference instead
of just an authorizer since authorizing also requires this.
- The permissions cache configuration can now easily be created from the
DB configuration.
- Move the static functions in `auth::auth` to the new `auth::service`.
Where possible, previously static resources like the `delayed_tasks`
are now members.
- Validating `cql3::user_options` requires an authenticator, which was
previously accessed globally.
- Instances of the auth* service are accessed through `external`
instances of `client_state` instead of globally. This includes several
CQL statements including `alter_user_statement`,
`create_user_statement`, `drop_user_statement`, `grant_statement`,
`list_permissions_statement`, `permissions_altering_statement`, and
`revoke_statement`. For `internal` `client_state`, this is `nullptr`.
- Since the `cql_server` is responsible for instantiating connections
and each connection gets a new `client_state`, the `cql_server` is
instantiated with a reference to the auth* service.
- Similarly, the Thrift server is now also instantiated with a reference
to the auth* service.
- Since the storage service is responsible for instantiating and
starting the sharded servers, it is instantiated with the sharded
auth* service which it threads through. All relevant factory functions
have been updated.
- The storage service is still responsible for starting the auth*
service it has been provided, and shutting it down.
- The `cql_test_env` is now instantiated with an instance of the auth*
service, and can be accessed through a member function.
- All unit tests have been updated and pass.
Fixes#2929.
Using "Meyer's singletons" eliminate the problem of static constant
initialization order because static variables inside functions are
initialized only the first time control flow passes over their
declaration.
Fixes#2966.
test_cassandra_hash also sort of expects exceptions. ASas causes false
positives here as well with seastar::thread, so do it with normal cont.

test_password_authenticator_operations causes ASan failures, in a way
that I am 99% sure is fully false positive, caused by a combo of
seastar threads, exception throwing and externals.
In lieu of actually identifying what ASan flaw causes this and
potentially cure it, for now, lets just re-write the test in question
to not use seastar::async, but normal continuation. Less easy to read,
but passes ASan.
