This is a big patch that ports openBSC over libosmo-abis.
Sorry, the changes that are included here are all dependent
of libosmo-abis, splitting them into smaller pieces would
leave the repository in some intermediate state, which is
not desired.
The main changes are:
- The directory libabis/ has been removed as it now lives in
libosmo-abis.
- new configuration file format for nanoBTS and HSL femto, we
need to define the virtual e1_line and attach it to the OML
link.
- all the existing BTS drivers (nanoBTS, hsl femto, Nokia site,
BS11 and rbs2000) now use the new libosmo-abis framework.
- use r232 input driver available in libosmo-abis for bs11_config.
- use ipa_msg_recv instead of old ipaccess_read_msg function.
- delete definition of gsm_e1_subslot and input_signal_data.
These structures now lives in libosmo-abis.
Most of this patch are deletions of libabis/ which has been
moved to libosmo-abis.
This patch also modifies openBSC to use all the new definitions
available in libosmocore and libosmo-abis. In order to do that,
we have replaced the following:
- DINP, DMI, DMIB and DMUX by their respective DL* correspondences.
- SS_GLOBAL by SS_L_GLOBAL
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN by S_L_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_INP_* by S_L_INP_* sub-signals
- E1INP_NODE by L_E1INP_NODE vty node
This patch has been tested with:
- one nanoBTS
- the HSL femto with the examples available under libosmo-abis
- BS11 with both dahdi and misdn drivers.
Reset the BTS MO State on BTS bootstrap. This way we will always
test the BTS disconnect/reconnect case of the BTS.
Do not reset the administrative state of objects. The BSC might
have set these and wants to maintain them across disconnect/
reconnect. Right now this is true for the TRX state.
The daemons set up nanoBTS and HSL femto sockets by default, ie. the
three sockets to support these two drivers are open even if we have
no BTS of that kind.
This patch enables on-demand socket creation, ie. we only enable them
if we have one BTS at least that requires it.
I added two new attributes to the gsm_bts object, they are:
* the start() function includes the code that we need to run to start
the BTS. This new function contains the socket creation in the
particular case of nanoBTS and HSL femto.
* the started boolean, which is used to know if we have already
started the BTS, ie. we have already invoked start().
Note that, I have splitted the bts_model_*_init() function into two
functions, the _init() functions that register the BTS driver
and the _start() functions that start BTS driver on-demand.
While I was at it, I added several changes/cleanups to this patch:
* Group all bts_model_*_init() calls into one function bts_init(),
which is called in the initialization path of osmo-nitb and
osmo-bsc.
* Add openbsc/bss.h that contains the declaration of
bsc_bootstrap_network, bsc_shutdown_net and bts_init.
* Add missing e1inp_init() in osmo-bsc.
* Fix missing declaration of hsl_setup in openbsc/e1_input.h
Introduce a paging group that a BSC can refer to and is used
during the LAC lookup. This way paging can be flooded through
the network and just filtered at the last element in the core.
Be able to configure a list of destinations (duplicates allowed)
that will be tried in a round robin fashion. The change is in
the bsc_msc_connection to operate on a list. We achieve the
round robin nature with the same trick used in the paging code
to delete and append the current entry. The nat code was updated
to compile but one can only configure one destination.
This patch extends the make_sock() prototype so you can fully set
the fields priv_nr and data of the bsc_fd structure.
This is the first step to get rid of the internal make_sock()
implementation that ipaccess-proxy uses.
This patch includes a minor cleanup to pass INADDR_ANY instead
of zero, if you do not want to bind the socket to one specific
address.
The VTY code calls the write function for nodes in the order of
registration of the node and not in terms of hierachy of nodes. This
means that the e1_input code is written before the MSC node that
was the child of the network. Make the MSC_NODE a direct descendant
of the CONFIG_NODE and avoid this issue.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]

The HSL Femtocell seems to be a poor man implementation of the
ip.access Abis/IP protocol, but cutting corners wherever possible.
We try to workaround those corners wherever possible...
