After recent libosmocore commit "implement support for 3-digit MNC with leading
zeros" c4fce1425e19d604c199c895e227dc2519110456
Id2240f7f518494c9df6c8bda52c0d5092f90f221, struct gprs_ra_id has a new member,
namely mnc_3_digits. In gprs_ra_id_by_bts(), this new member is now not
initialized and may end up having an arbitrary value, which then may amount to
mnc_3_digits == true. Hence the resulting BCD representation of the MCC-MNC may
inadvertently and randomly indicate a leading zero on the MNC.
Use a struct assignment so that all members are guaranteed to be set, and so
that mnc_3_digits will be zero in all cases.
Since above libosmocore commit, nanobts_omlattr_test fails "randomly", fixed by
this patch.

The S_L_INP_TEI_UP signal was generated when the first message from a BTS
arrives on the OML/RSL link, rather than when the OML/RSL link comes up.
Instead, generate this signal when the link is brought up, so we
intitialize state regardless of how a particular BTS behaves.
Tested with osmo-bts-virtual and virtphy/mobile programs,
and with a sysmobts.

We already have other commands that operate on a given bts/trx/ts/ss,
let's make sure they have a shared/common syntax for consistency.
This also fixes the issue that the handover/assignment commands were
active already in VIEW_NODE, while they should only have been in
ENABLE_NODE.

Access Control Class (ACC) ramping is used to slowly make the cell
available to an increasing number of MS. This avoids overload at
startup time in cases where a lot of MS would discover the new
cell and try to connect to it all at once.
Ramping behaviour can be configured with new VTY commands:
[no] access-control-class-ramping
access-control-class-ramping-step-interval (<30-600>|dynamic)
access-control-class-ramping-step-size (<1-10>)
(The minimum and maximum values for these parameters are hard-coded,
but could be changed if they are found to be inadequate.)
The VTY command 'show bts' has been extended to display the
current ACC ramping configuration.
By default, ACC ramping is disabled.
When enabled, the default behaviour is to enable one ACC per
ramping step with a 'dynamic' step interval. This means the
ramping interval (time between steps) is scaled to the channel
load average of the BTS, i.e. the number of used vs. available
channels measured over a certain amount of time.
Below is an example of debug log output with ACC ramping enabled,
while many 'mobile' programs are concurrently trying to connect
to the network via an osmo-bts-virtual BTS. Initially, all ACCs
are barred, and then only one class is allowed. Then the current
BTS channel load average is consulted for scheduling the next
ramping step. While the channel load average is low, ramping
proceeds faster, and while it is is high, ramping proceeds slower:
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 0
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 1
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 2
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 3
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 4
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 5
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 6
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 7
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 8
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 9
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 0
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 30 seconds based on 0% channel load average
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 1
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 354 seconds based on 59% channel load average
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 2
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 30 seconds based on 0% channel load average
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 3
(bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 30 seconds based on 0% channel load average

In the past we used to set this to "-10 dBm" which means that basically
no RACH ever passed that treshold and in the associated CCCH LOAD IND
the number of busy slots was always zero.
Let's set the default to -90dBm. The user can of course always
configure a different value in the VTY.
This means that now any RACH slot signal level >= 90 dBm counts as
"busy" in those CCCH LOAD IND (RACH).

When the cell identifier list of the BSSMAP paging contains an
"No cell is associated with the transaction." entry then the
paging is dropped and no paging is started at all. This is not
correct. When no cell is associated, the BSS should page the

Instead of reacting on S_LCHAN* signals in the handover decision code,
introduce callbacks for the handover decision to be invoked by handover_logic.c
at the appropriate time.
The rationale is explained in a comment to struct handover_decision_callbacks,
quoting:
"
All events that are interesting for handover decision are actually communicated
by S_LCHAN_* signals, so theoretically, each handover algorithm could evaluate
those. However, handover_logic.c cleans up handover operation state upon
receiving some of these signals. To allow a handover decision algorithm to take
advantage of e.g. the struct bsc_handover before it is discarded, the handover
decision event handler needs to be invoked before handover_logic.c discards the
state. For example, if the handover decision wants to place a penalty timer
upon a handover failure, it still needs to know which target cell the handover
failed for; handover_logic.c erases that knowledge on handover failure, since
it needs to clean up the lchan's handover state.
The most explicit and safest way to ensure the correct order of event handling
is to invoke the handover decision algorithm's actions from handover_logic.c
itself, before cleaning up. This struct provides the callback functions for
this purpose.
For consistency, also handle signals in this way that aren't actually in danger
of interference from handover_logic.c (which also saves repeated lookup of
handover state for lchans). Thus, handover decision algorithms should not
register any signal handler at all.
"
Also:
- Publish struct bsc_handover to use it as argument to above callbacks.
- Add enum hodec_id to struct bsc_handover, to be able to signal the
appropriate hodec algorithm per event.
- Add hodec_id argument to bsc_handover_start*() to be placed in the
bsc_handover struct.
- Publish the LOGPHO logging macros in handover.h along with struct
bsc_handover, convenient for logging in callback implementations.
Replace handover_decision.c's signal handler with a registered
handover_decision_callbacks instance.
(Upcoming handover_decision_2 will use all of the callbacks introduced here.)

The conn's penalty timers will be used only for handover decision 2, make it

Do not share config items between the current handover decision and the
upcoming handover_decision_2.
Rename current handover config items to hodec2_* and duplicate the ones
relevant to handover decision algorithm 1 with name prefix of hodec1_*.
I considered moving hodec2 parameters to an entirely separate .c file and
struct, but that causes considerable code bloat. Rather use the nice
handover_cfg net/bts level mechanism as-is, and simply prefix the names.
In the VTY, the hodec1 parameters are configurable by 'handover foo 23'
commands, while the hodec2 parameters are by 'handover2 foo 23'. The generic
VTY commands to enable/disable handover and to choose the algorithm are still
'handover (0|1)' and 'handover algorithm (1|2)'.
(Note, a subsequent commit will rename the 'handover foo' for hodec1 to
'handover1 foo' and add backwards-compat aliases.)
For example, the 'window rxlev averaging 5' command now exists both for
handover decision 1 and handover decision 2, and its values are independent.
This is valid config:
network
# set up handover decision algorithm 1
# (pending rename of these items to 'handover1 ...')
handover window rxlev averaging 5
handover window rxlev neighbor averaging 5
# set up handover decision algorithm 2
handover2 window rxlev averaging 7
handover2 window rxlev neighbor averaging 7
handover2 penalty-time max-distance 10
# enable handover
handover 1
bts 0
handover algorithm 1
bts 1
handover algorithm 2
In this example, bts 0 uses algo 1 with rxlev averaging of 5, while bts 1 uses
algorithm 2 where rxlev averaging of 7 is in effect.
