In PCUIF v.11 we use PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH_2 exclusively. We use this SAPI
to transfer IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages for uplink and downlink. One
new feature of PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH_2 is that the PCU may ask to send a
confirmation when the MAC block is sent.

Since osmo-bsc uses RSL (with a propritary Ericsson RBS specific
extension) to send a confirmed IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages via
PCH, we can not just forward the MAC blocks into the paging queue
without determining whether the MAC block is a PAGING message or an
IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message. the reason for this is that RSL uses
two different message types (IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND and PAGING
COMMAND) to process IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT and PAGING messages.
This means we have to look into the MAC block to make sure whether
the message is a PAGING message or an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message.
We also need to make sure that the confirm flag is properly executed.
In the case of the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT this means we have to include
(confirm=true) or not include (confirm=false) the RSL_IE_ERIC_MOBILE_ID
into the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message.
In the case of PAGING we directly echo a confirmation after sending
the PAGING COMMAND via RSL when a confirmation is requested.

we should also remove the "_DT" / "_dt" suffix from structs and define

The struct gsm_pcu_if_data_cnf_dt was added when the first experiments
mit Ericsson RBS base stations were made. It is essentially a copy of
gsm_pcu_if_data, where the mamber "data" was replaced with a member
"msg_id" (which was originally called "tlli"). Since we didn't know
back then which parameters we would still need at some later point we
kept all the other parameters. However, to this day we never used the
parameters below fn. Even fn was only used for logging purposes, but is
now also unused.
Let's remove all those unused members.
(Since all removed members are at the tail of the struct,
compatibility with other programs that use the PCUIF should not break.)

To confirm downlink IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages, we use the TLLI as an
identifier and the related struct member is also called "tlli".
Unfortunately this is misleading since the message identifier does not
necessarly have to be a TLLI. It is just an implementation detail that
osmo-pcu uses the TLLI as a message identifier.
To make that clear, lets rename the tlli member (and variable and
parameter names where it is passed on) to "msg_id".
(Since this change only renames variables and struct members it will not
break compatibility with other programs that use the PCUIF)

The assignment is triggered by the MSC by sending an ASSIGNMENT REQUEST
with a group call reference. The reference is used to find the VGCS/VBS
channel that belogs to the referenced call.
The existing VGCS/VBS channel is reactivated. This will put the channel
into a state where the MS can establish the link on it, to complete the
assignment. The old connection is released by the MSC and assignment
completion is handled by the VGCS FSM.

The PCUIF interface implementation in osmo-bsc provides two ways to
access the paging channel (PCH).
1) Under the SAPI PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH PAGING COMMAND messages are accepted
as whole MAC block but the format is in the style that we are going
to deprecate with PCUIF v.11. Also at the moment those PAGING COMMANDs
are not confirmed towards the PCU. This is also not necessary since
osmo-pcu would silently drop such confirmations. (see pcu_rx_data_cnf
in pcu_l1_if.cpp)
2) Under the SAPI PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH_DT messages are also accepded as
MAC blocks but the SAPI will only accept IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages.
The messages are encapsulated in a struct that holds IMSI (paging group)
and TLLI (used for confirmation) as separate struct members. The
messages are also confirmed towards the PCU as it should be.
Since we want to depreacete the older V.10 version of PCUIF and there is
not much benefit in maintaining two interfaces we should use
SAPI PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH_DT for both message types. This also requires small
adjustments to osmo-pcu (see Depends).

If power saving is enabled for a BTS, it should remain enabled even
if the BTS is restarted for whatever reason. This persistence can be
achieved by re-sending the configured power reduction value whenever
the BTS NM FSM enters the ENABLED state again (i.e. reconnects).
Separate gsm_bts_send_c0_power_red() from gsm_bts_set_c0_power_red()
and call the former from st_op_enabled_on_enter(). All we need to do
is to send the value that was configured before, per-timeslot power
reduction limits remain and need not to be updated.
Take a chance to move logging from BTS specific to the generic code.

The current PCU implementation has never been tested with multiple BTS

In osmo-bsc, there's currently 0..1 Lb links and 0..N A links, where N
is the number of MSC, but links can be shared in the underlaying stack
(struct osmo_sccp_instance), hence range 0..N of different
osmo_sccp_instance (identified by PC).
Even more, the Lb and A link can share the same underlaying stack, so
osmo-bsc can end up with only 1 struct osmo_sccp_instance shared by all
the above mentioned links in case all are configured under the same PC.
Total range A+Lb is 0..(1+N).
A struct gsm_subscriber_conn stores 2 struct sccp_instance*, one for
Lb (conn->lcs.lb.*)and one for A (conn->sccp.*).
They can actually point to the same sccp_instance or to different ones,
as explained above, depending on the configured setup. In any case, a
gsm_subscriber_conn needs 2 rb_nodes since it can hold
any of the 2 conn_ids independently (A or Lb).
The previous patch forgot to add that 2nd rb_node as well as some
initialization and release code for the Lb conn. This patch addresses
that.
When the 2nd rb_node, a problem when iterating the rbtree appears: how to
find out the "conn" pointer from the rb_node pointer, since the rb_node pointer
can be any of the 2 rb_nodes inside the struct at a different offsets.
In order to solve that problem, a new struct bscp_sccp_conn_node is
added, which holds all the relevant information used by the rbtree lookup code
in a generic way (rb_node and conn_id), plus a backpointer to the struct
bsc_gsm_subcriber it relates too.

It was found that on a busy osmo-bsc process (>1000 concurrent calls
spead over different BTSs), a good amount of time is spent iterating the
subscribers list trying to find a subscriber based on a TMSI (1.60% of
total CPU time used by osmo-bsc).
This patch introduces a new rbtree under struct bsc_subscr_store which
allows storing all the busbs ordered by TMSI.
This way, lookup time changes O(N) -> O(log(N)), at the expense of
increased insert/deletion time O(1) -> O(log(N)).

This allows keeping the bsc_subscriber storage internals outside of main
gsm_network code, while easily allowing making the internal
implementation more complex (in order to optimize it in a follow-up
commit).
It is also nice since we get rid of uncommon procedures being used in
this code, like allocating an llist directly as a talloc context, etc.

It was found that, on a busy osmo-bsc (>1000 concurrent calls spread over
several BTS), the CPU consumption looking up for gsm_subscriber_conn
based on SCCP conn_id can take a considerable amount of time (>5% of
osmo-bsc already taking 70% of the CPU time on the core it is running on).
The huge CPU consumption happens because a linear search is done (llist)
over the entire list of SCCP connections every time an SCCP message is
handled.
In order to optimize this lookup, this patch introduces a new struct
bsc_sccp_inst which becomes associated to the libosmo-sccp
osmo_sccp_instance. Each of this strucs maintains an rbtree of
gsm_subscriber_conn ordered by conn_id.
As a result algorithmic complexity adds O(log(N)) during insert, lookup
and delete of SCCP conns, but gets rid of O(N) previous lookup.
As a plus, finding a new conn_id now takes generally O(log(N)), while
before it used to take O(N).

The 0x00FFFFFF source local reference is reserved in M3UA/SCCP, hence
avoid allocating a conn_id with that value since later on when reused as
a source local reference it would fail to be encoded.
Change-Id: I5c62bbfa89140d754edccb4404503cb70d5fde89
Currently, the conn_id is allocated in a range 0..0xffffff by
bsc_sccp_inst_next_conn_id(), and -1 means it is unset.
This means allocation expects "int" to be at least 32 bits integer,
in order to fit 24 bits for 0..0xffffff plus the -1.
Hence, let's define the variable as uint32_t, as already done in
libosmo-sccp. Use last value 0xFFFFFFFF ((uint32_t)-1) and avoid playing
with the value being unsigned sometimes and signed only for "unset"
value.
The value is actually already handled as unsigned (printed with %u) in
most places.
