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.

This option should be used for any executables which are used only
for testing, or for generating other files and are consequently never
installed. By specifying this option, we are telling Libtool that
the executable it links will only ever be executed from where it is
built in the build tree. Libtool is usually able to considerably
speed up the link process for such executables.

*.vty tests are picked up by the Makefile.am by means of a wildcard --
they are run when they are there. So when you forget to add it to
EXTRA_DIST, it will be run in your local build tree, but it will be

Instead, also use a *.vty wildcard in EXTRA_DIST. So any *.vty test

If queue size (in transmit delay of requests) is too long (above
threshold) when a new initial incoming request arrives, instead of
directly discarding it, see if we can drop a pending retransmission and
insert the new one instead, in order to avoid losing initial requests.
This is done under the assumption that it is more important to transmit
intial requests than to retransmit already transmitted ones. The
rationale is that there's lower chances that an MS which didn't answer
lately will answer now (aka being reachable at the cell), so it's better
to allocate resources for new requests (new MS) which may be available
in the cell.

Initial requests: paging requests which haven't been yet transmitted
Retrans requests: paging requests which have already been transmitted at
least once.
Until now one queue was used (llist) to store both. The initial requests
were stored at the start of the queue in FIFO order. After the last
initial requests, the retrans requests followed also in FIFO.
This ordering was used in order to prioritze scheduling of initial
paging requests over retransmit paging requests.
In the end, having both types in the same list only make code handling
the list more complex.
Hence, this patch splits the shared llist into 2 llists.

When looking up "BCCH-FREQ-NCELL i" from the measurement report, don't
treat the BCCH channel list as one list sorted by ascending ARFCN.
Instead, treat it as two sub lists, one for the same band, and one for
channels in different bands, as described in 3GPP TS 04.08 § 10.5.2.20.
This fixes getting the wrong ARFCN from measurement reports in
multi-band BSS, which leads to failing handovers.

This change implements an additional channel allocation mode, which
can be employed during a TCH channel allocation for assignment.
Selection between ascending and descending order is performed
depending on pre-configured parameters:
* Uplink RxLev threshold and number of samples for averaging,
* C0 (BCCH carrier) channel load threshold.
This is useful in setups where Tx power of the RF carriers cannot be
adjusted +dynamically at run-time and thus BS Power Control cannot
be performed. In such setups the BCCH carrier is transmitting at
relatively higher power than the other RF carriers. The key idea
is to allocate channels in a smarter way, so that UEs with poor signal
would get channels on carriers with high Tx power, while UEs with good
signal could use carriers with lower Tx power.

A follow-up patch implements a special channel allocation mode, which is
only working for assignment (basically TCH selection for a voice call).
This mode cannot be employed for initial CHANNEL REQUEST or handover due
to the absence of an already established lchan.
Adding this mode to the existing VTY command syntax would be confusing:
channel allocator (ascending|desscending|dynamic)
^^^^^^^
so this patch extends the VTY syntax in a way that it becomes possible
to configure different channel allocator modes for different cases:
OsmoBSC(config-net-bts)# channel allocator mode ?
set-all Set a single mode for all variants
chan-req Channel allocation for CHANNEL REQUEST (RACH)
assignment Channel allocation for assignment
handover Channel allocation for handover
The old command syntax, which is basically 'set-all', is kept for
backwards compatibility, but marked as deprecated.

For statistical clarity and site tuning, it is sometimes
desirable to completely disable the use of TCH for signaling.
In the existing version of this VTY command, there is no way to
accomplish this. We can only restrict TCH for signaling non-voice
related actions.
This patch deprecates 'allow-tch-for-signalling (0|1)' and
adds 'tch-signalling-policy (never|emergency|voice|always)' to
provide more options.

The all_allocated_update_bsc() does inefficient iterating to count
active/inactive lchans, which scales badly for high numbers of TRX
managed by osmo-bsc.
We need to update the all_allocated flags immediately (periodic counting
alone would suffer from undersampling), so, until now, we are calling
this inefficient function every time a channel state changes.
Instead of iterating all channels for any chan state changes anywhere,
keep global state of the current channel counts, and on channel state
change only update those ts, trx, bts counts that actually change.
A desirable side effect: for connection stats and handover decision 2,
we can now also use the globally updated channel counts and save a bunch
of inefficient iterations.
To get accurate channel counts at all times, spread around some
chan_counts_ts_update() calls in pivotal places. It re-counts the given
timeslot and cascades counter changes, iff required.
Just in case I missed some channel accounting, still run an inefficient
iterating count regularly that detects errors, logs them and fixes them.
No real harm done if such error appears. None show in ttcn3 BSC_Tests.
It is fine to do the inefficient iteration once per second; channel
state changes can realistically happen hundreds of times per second.

This way we avoid triggering timers and doing extra poll loops for each
BTS which is configured but not up. It also has the effect of removing
logging about estimating paging buffers for BTS which are down, which
can be confusing.
Furthermore, since work is delayed until the TRX and cell in general is
configured, the first estimation is properly done now since the correct
configuration is in place at that time.

This was so far workarounded in tests by manually freeing the fields.
However, in follow-up patch the paging queue will also be properly
freed, so free of the counters needs to be previously fixed too so that
counters are freed at the right point of time.
Otherwise, during paging queue flush, counters are used and would crash
because they were freed before the BTS object in each test's bts_del().
