This is a candidate for adding to libosmocore (as osmo_time_cc), but
let's first use this in osmo-bsc to make sure that it works as intended.
I started out expecting to be done with this in half an hour, but I
found out that accumulating elapsed time to an integer counter has a
staggering amount of complexity to it, and a million pitfalls.
The intended use is to report allAvailableSDCCHAllocated and
allAvailableTCHAllocated performance indicators in OsmoBSC. Hopefully
this will also be generally useful elsewhere, to be worth the effort.

Add chan_counts_for_trx() and chan_counts_for_bts(). Drop
bts_count_free_ts() and trx_count_free_ts().
Rationale:
The bts_count_free_ts() and trx_count_free_ts() always returned the
number of free lchans, not timeslots. Hence, passing the pchan type as
argument never really matched the semantics.
Especially, when looking for free SDCCH, there is no clear match on a
gsm_phys_chan_config enum value: SDCCH8_SACCH8C, CCCH_SDCCH4,
CCCH_SDCCH4_CBCH, SDCCH8_SACCH8C_CBCH? -- GSM_LCHAN_SDCCH is clear.
==> Rather count free lchans by enum gsm_chan_t.
Counting lchans of distinct types required separate iterations for each
lchan type.
==> Rather compose an array of counts for all types, in one go.
I need to count the amount of free SDCCH lchans in an upcoming patch to
implement the performance indicator allAvailableAllocatedSDCCH (cumulate
time for which no SDCCH are available).
To implement allAvailableAllocated{SDCCH,TCH}, I need a count of both
the used as well as the total lchans for a type: it does not make sense
to flag "all available allocated" if none are ever available.
To properly count dynamic ts, I need the maximum total that can be
possible at any time. And to count currently free lchans, I need the
current total. This may seem counter intuitive, but consider, e.g.:
- Obviously, if a cell has only static TCH/F timeslots, it does not make
sense to flag that all available TCH/H are occupied, because no TCH/H
are available ever. Just stating this as contrast to dyn TS.
- If a cell has OSMO_DYN timeslots, I *do* want to flag that all TCH/H
are occupied when all dyn timeslots are fully occupied.
- If those OSMO_DYN however are all used as TCH/F, the current total of
TCH/H becomes zero, and it seems like TCH/H should not be considered.
- To count the nr of currently free lchans, I need the currently
possible total of lchans and the nr of occupied lchans.
So return both a maximum total and a current total of lchans. In above
example, the maximum total shows that there would be TCH/H possible.
BTW, it would be nice to keep a chan_counts array on trx, bts and bsc
level and update as channels are allocated and released, instead of
counting them all over periodically. But it's less error prone this way.

This allows having it initialized automatically, as we usually do with

don't need to take care of calling it.
NOTE: This fix is required by follow-up patches where some stubs are removed

using those FSMs before, there was no need to call ts_fsm_init().

These commands return a listing of OML state, RF policy as well as RSL
connection status for each TRX in the form:
<bts_nr>,<trx_nr>,<opstate>,<adminstate>,<rf_policy>,<rsl_status>;<bts_nr>,<trx_nr>,...
For example, the root node 'rf_states' may return:
0,0,operational,unlocked,on,rsl-up;1,0,operational,unlocked,on,rsl-down;2,0,inoperational,locked,on,rsl-down;
A 'bts.N.rf_states' returns the same form of string, but lists only the
TRX for the given BTS nr.
Note, there is already a CTRL command 'bts.N.rf_state' (singular
'rf_state', not plural 'rf_states'), which only reflects the overall
status of all TRX combined. This new command has per-TRX resolution.
The rf-policy is so far always looked up in the global gsm_network flag,
as does the old 'rf_state' command; see osmo_bsc_rf_get_policy_by_bts()
which does not depend on the specific BTS at all. This may be worth
revisiting in the future, so I am already including the rf-policy in the
rf_state string for each TRX, even though it is globally identical.

While NACC was initially developed, it became clear there was need for
a way to interact PCU<->BSC in order resolve ARFCN+BSIC into CGI-PS
for later RIM usage.
Hence, this resolution was first (until today) implemented using an out
of bands RPC system using the CTRL interface, which required specific
config to be written and matches in osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc VTY (ip+port
of the CTRL interface to use).
However, this has several shortcomings:
* As explained above, specific configuration is required
* Since recently, we do support BSC redundancy in osmo-bts. Hence the BTS
may switch to a BSC other than first one. If that happened, that'd mean
the CTRL interface would still point to the initially configured one,
which may not be the same currently serving the PCU.
During recent development of ANR related features, a similar need for
PCU<->BSC was required, but this time it was decided to extend the IPA
multiplex of the Abis OML connection to pass PCUIF messages,
transparently forwarded to each side by the BTS.
This has the advantage that connection PCU<->BTS is handled by BTS and
both sides send messages transparently.
Let's switch by default to using this new interface, while still
maintaing the old way for a while (announcing them as deprecated) to
avoid breaking existing deployments until they are upgraded to new
versions of osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc.

This commit extends existing VTY and RSL infrastructure to configure and
manage MS Power Parameters used in MS Power Control loop, by adding
support to set up Carrier-to-Interference (CI) parameters.
Using C/I instead of existing RxQual is preferred due to extended
granularity of C/I (bigger range than RxQual's 0-7).
Furthermore, existing literature (such as "GSM/EDGE: Evolution and Performance"
Table 10.3) provides detailed information about expected target values,
even different values for different channel types. Hence, it was decided
to support setting different MS Power Parameters for different channel
types.
These MS Power Parameters are Osmocom specific, ie. supported only by
newish versions of osmo-bts. Older versions of osmo-bts should ignore
the new IEs added just fine. The new IEs containing the MS POwer
Parameters are not send for non osmo-bts BTSs, hence this commit is
secure with regards to running osmo-bsc against an ip.access BTS such
as nanoBTS.

Usual allocation mechansim, when some signalling channel is needed,
first tries to reserve an SDCCH, and if all of them are exhausted, then
attempts to reserve a TCH as a last resort.
This, however, may cause TCH starvation under certain situations, for
instance if there high load on other services (LU, SMS, etc.).
Hence, it may be desirable for the operator to forbid reservation
of TCH slots once SDCCH become exhausted. This commit is thus adding a
VTY command which allows forbidding it. The default behavior (allow using
TCH timeslots when SDCCHs are exhausted) is kept as before.
The above mentioned prohibition is applied only to non-voicecall related
signalling services. That's because voicecall services will end up
requiring a TCH anyway, and forbidding reservation of TCH straighaway
when SDCCHs are exhausted would mean no voice calls could be initiated
while still TCHs would be available.

In a running BSC, when changing the interference level boundaries on the
telnet VTY, the BTS is not immediately told about the change. That would
require a BTS restart. Hence store the cfg values separately in
