This is a preparation commit in order to move power loops up in the
stack in order to have DTXu information available, in order to decide
whether SUB or FULL ul measurements should be used in the MS Power
Control Loop.
Function rsl_tx_meas_res() is stripped from code changing state, and it
simply encodes content and transmits the message.

GSM/EDGE Evolution and Performance, Section 12.3 suggests Temporary
Overpower as another solution to improve SACCH/FACCH performance in
case of bad C/I. The idea here is that you increment the DL transmit
power by 2..4dB only for FACCH/SACCH bursts, while keeping all voice
bursts at the lower (normal) level as determined by BS power control.
SACCH blocks can be recognized by the channel type, since they're
always transmitted in specific frames of a multiframe. FACCH blocks,
however, are not predictable and can substitute voice blocks at
(almost) any time. Thus we need to mark FACCH bursts as such in
the logical channel handlers (using TRX_BR_F_FACCH).

The ip.access style dynamic timeslots are a bit special in a way that
on the A-bis/RSL we always use the Channel Number value of TCH/F,
even in PDCH mode. This is why gsm_lchan2chan_nr() would always
return values corresponding to TCH/F for TCH/F_PDCH.
This behavior is only acceptable in the context of RSL messages, while
other parts of the code base may not work properly due to this trick.
A good example is the scheduler in osmo-bts-trx, where we have to
patch Channel Number value to make channel activation work.
DPCU INFO pcu_sock.c:853 Activate request received: TRX=0 TS=5
DL1C INFO l1sap.c:2043 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=5,ss=0) Activating channel TCH/F on TS5
DL1C NOTICE scheduler.c:1097 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=5,ss=0) Activating PDTCH
DL1C NOTICE scheduler.c:1097 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=5,ss=0) Activating PTCCH
In the code branch responsible for channel deactivation, we somehow
forgot to add the same workaround, so deactivation does not work:
DL1C INFO l1sap.c:2076 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=5,ss=0) Deactivating channel TCH/F on TS5
DTRX INFO trx_if.c:255 phy0.0: Enqueuing TRX control command 'CMD NOHANDOVER 5 0'
DRSL NOTICE rsl.c:1286 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=5,ss=0) (bts=0,trx=0,ts=5,ss=0) not sending REL ACK
Because of that, TCH/F_PDCH timeslots actually remain active after
deactivation, so the scheduler keeps producing L1SAP DATA.ind.

This way it can be changed together with operative/availability state,
and changes announced to the BSC if present.
This commit presents no real change in osmo-bts behavior, since the only
place where adm_state is passed different than -1 is in
st_op_disabled_notinstalled_on_enter(), which is actually never called
(yet) since it's the initial state and no other states transition later
to it.
However, this will change in the future once we support re-connecting to
a (possibly different) BSC, which means objects will need to be moved to
that state to restart the whole OML install procedure on the new BSC.

The pointer was used as "struct bsc_oml_host" sometimes, and other times
as "struct llist_head". It just worked because bsc_oml_host->list is the
first item in the script. The code was really confusing, also because
the bts list of items has a name really similar to the one currently
assigned. Let's rename the currently assigned address to "current_bsc",
store it always as "struct bsc_oml_host*" and finally use llist_entry
helpers when needed.
The related code is also moved to a helper function to enclose there the
logic to get next BSC in list. This change actually changes the logic
where a remote address is removed from VTY, since now the next address
in list is picked at the time, and later when reconnecting the list is
forwarded another time, meaning one address will be skipped.
This could be considered a bug, but this situation is really special
and anyway the entire logic will be changed in new commits where we'll
keep reconnecting in loop without exiting when reaching the end of the
list, so we are fine with it. Think of this commit as a preparation
commit for next ones.

This clarifies the different states and transitions between them:
OML LINK UP: CONNECTING->CONNECTED

In follow up commits, support to reconnect instead of exit after the BTS
has already connected will be added, so only the last transition needs
to be changed.

First step improving and reworking TA loop:
Move trigger of the loop to similar place done by BS/MS Power Control
Loop, that is, upon receivial of UL SACCH block, which contains
information about the TA used to transmit the block encode in L1SACCH
Header. Hence, from computed received TOA and TA used when transmitting
from the MS, we can infer the desired TA to be used by the MS, which
will send back to it later during DL SACCH block.
The values taken are actually the ones calculated for the previous SACCH
block and stored in lchan->meas.ms_toa256. That's because L1SACCH
contains the TA used for the previous reporting period, similarly to
what's specified for MS Power Control loop (TS 45.008 sec 4.2):
"""
The MS shall confirm the power control level that it is currently employing
in the SACCH L1 header on each uplink channel. The indicated value shall
be the power control level actually used by the mobile for the last burst
of the previous SACCH period.
"""
(The reader may observe that currently this is not properly done for MS
Power Control loop when calling lchan_ms_pwr_ctrl(): this is a bug.)
This new method also permits changing TA quicker, since we have more
confidence that the TA we request is aligned with the one used to
transmit, and we don't simply increment/decrement based on the value we
request to transmit.

This commit extends existing MS Power Control Loop algorithm to take
into account computed C/I values on the UL, received from MS. The
related C/I parameters used by the algorithm are configured at and
provided by the BSC, which transmits them to the BTS similar to already
existing 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

The BCCH carrier (sometimes called C0) of a BTS shall maintain
discontinuous Downlink transmission at full power in order to
stay 'visible' to the mobile stations. Because of that, early
versions of 3GPP TS 45.008 prohibited BS power reduction on C0.
However, in the recent 3GPP TS 45.008 there is a feature called
'BCCH carrier power reduction operation'. This is a special
mode of operation, where the variation of RF level for some
timeslots is relaxed for the purpose of energy saving.
In BCCH carrier power reduction operation, for timeslots on the
C0 carrier, except timeslots carrying BCCH/CCCH, the output power
may be lower than the output power used for timeslots carrying
BCCH/CCCH. In this case the maximum allowed difference in output
power actually transmitted by the BTS is 6 dB.
The power reduction operation can be controlled by the BSC by
sending BS POWER CONTROL on the A-bis/RSL with the Channel Number
IE set to 0x80 (RSL_CHAN_BCCH). This makes osmo-bts reduce the
transmission power on inactive timeslots of the BCCH carrier.
This is a non-standard, Osmocom specific extension, so indicate
support of this feature to the BSC in the feature vector. Also
add a VTY command to allow enabling/disabling the power reduction
locally. Add some signalling notes to the A-bis/RSL manual.
For more details, see 3GPP TS 45.008, section 7.1.

Currently, in bts_sched_fn() we send a Downlink burst to the PHY
immediately after calling the associated logical channel handler.
Together with the obvious performance advantages, this approach
imposes some serious limitations. The code has already become
quite complex with the introduction of the baseband frequency
hopping, and now it's not possible anymore to extend it further.
TRXD PDU batching, which is essential for VAMOS implementation,
requires us to make the scheduler more flexible at the expense of
increased memory consumption and additional CPU cycles. This patch
splits up Downlink burst scheduling into 3 main steps:
1. bts_sched_init_buffers(): initialization of per-TRX Downlink
burst buffers allocated by phy_instance_create(). For C0/TRX0
all timeslots are pre-initialized with dummy burst.
2. bts_sched_fn(): generating burst bits for all active lchans.
3. bts_sched_flush_buffers(): sending everything to the PHY.
This approach allows us to a) get rid of the ugly tail in bts_sched_fn()
that was responsible for sending dummy bursts on C0/TRX0; b) implement
the PDU batching and have several variants of bts_sched_flush_buffers()
providing the alternative batching approaches later on; c) implement
PDU merging for the upcoming shadow transceivers.

Together with the 'generic' structures which used to be shared between
osmo-bsc and osmo-bts some time ago, we also have the following
osmo-bts-trx specific structures (in hierarchical order):
- struct l1sched_trx (struct gsm_bts_trx),
- struct l1sched_ts (struct gsm_bts_trx_ts),
- struct l1sched_chan_state (struct gsm_lchan).
These structures are not integrated into the tree of the generic
structures, but maintained in a _separate tree_ instead. Until
recently, only the 'l1sched_trx' had a pointer to generic
'gsm_bts_trx', so in order to find the corresponding 'gsm_lchan' for
'l1sched_chan_state' one would need to traverse all the way up to
'l1sched_trx' and then tracerse another three backwards.
+ gsm_network

--+ gsm_bts (0..255)

--+ l1sched_trx --------------------> gsm_bts_trx (0..255)
| |
--+ l1sched_trx_ts --+ gsm_bts_trx_ts (8)
| |
--+ l1sched_chan_state --+ gsm_lchan (up to 8)
I find this architecture a bit over-complicated, especially given
that 'l1sched_trx' is kind of a dummy node containing nothing else
than a pointer to 'gsm_bts_trx' and the list of 'l1sched_trx_ts'.
In this path I slightly change the architecture as follows:
+ gsm_network
|
--+ gsm_bts (0..255)
|
--+ gsm_bts_trx (0..255)
|
--+ l1sched_trx_ts <----------------> gsm_bts_trx_ts (8)
| |
--+ l1sched_chan_state --+ gsm_lchan (up to 8)
Note that unfortunately we cannot 1:1 map 'l1sched_chan_state' to
'gsm_lchan' (like we do for 'l1sched_trx_ts' and 'gsm_bts_trx_ts')
because there is no direct mapping. The former is a higl-level
representation of a logical channel, while the later represents
one specific logical channel type like FCCH, SDCCH/0 or SACCH/0.

Hence, OPSTART must happen in RCARRIER MO before OPSTART can be sent to

Historically the logical channel handlers like rx_data_fn() used to accept
quite a lot of arguments. With the introduction of additional measurement
parameters it has become clear that we need to group the arguments into

However, both channel type and burst ID were kept untouched, so until

mentioned above.
As a part of this change, the new LOGL1SB() macro is introduced. It
does accept a pointer to 'trx_{dl,ul}_burst_{req,ind}' and expands the
context information for the old LOGL1S() macro.

gsm_bts_trx_alloc() already does initialize some fields of the
allocated 'struct gsm_bts_trx' instance, and having an additional
function for initializing the other fields makes no sense.
Note that I intentionally didn't merge a call to bts_model_trx_init()
into gsm_bts_trx_alloc(), because this would break some assumptions
regarding the order of initialization and cause regressions.
This also allows us to not call bts_model_trx_init() from tests.

First of all, there is no reason to use a void pointer because
it's always 'struct phy_instance'. Also, no need to encapsulate
this pointer into 'role_bts' because there are no other roles in
osmo-bts (we used to have shared headers years ago).
This commit also fixes a bug in test_sysmobts_auto_band(), where a
pointer to 'struct femtol1_hdl' was directly assigned to trx.pinst.

The measurement results / TCH indications that are handed when decoding
the TCH/H are off by two bursts. Since a measurement result / TCH block
is expected every two bursts anyway the problem can only be noticed when
a FACCH transmission is going on and the frame numbers of the BFI TCH
blocks appear to be missaligned towards the FACCH block.
The reason is that the incoming bursts are shifted into a 6 burst wide
buffer. The decoding functions always look at the beginning of that
buffer while the bursts are shifted into the buffer from the end. A
facch will always fit exactly in that buffer but TCH/H blocks are only
4 bursts wide and thereofre they need two additional bursts until they
reach the coverage of the decoding function. Lets fix this by putting
the correct frame number (from two bursts before) into the remap
functions in order to get the correct beginning of the block.
Since the FACCH transmission uses six blocks it takes out two TCH
blocks. This means that if we count the FACCH block we end up with a gap
of one TCH voice block. Lets generate a dummy measurement to compensate
the gap. This will also match the behavior of the osmo-bts-sysmo phy.

The MS sets the SRR bit in the L1 SACCH header to request DL-SACCH
repetition from the BTS. At the moment we access the l1_info stored in
tle lchan struct each time we want to check the status of the SRR bit.
However, it is more convinient to do this once at reception and store
the status of the status of the flag in a separate struct member.

So far, the only way to configure GSMTAP Um logging is to use the
cmdline argument '-i'. Let's deprecate it, and add a VTY command
to allow setting the remote host from configuration file.
The legacy '-i' option, if provided, overrides the configuration
file option, and will also appear in 'write file'.

The only reason why it was not 'const' is that in lchan_new_ul_meas()
we may need to overwrite 'ulm->is_sub'. This can still be done after
memcpy()ing a new set of samples to the destination buffer.

It makes more sense to use a reduce step size that is smaller than
the increase step size. This way both MS/BS power control loops
would be able to react quickly of the signal gets weaker, while
the good signal would not trigger radical power reduction.

In change [1] the new power control structures and default params
were introduced. In change [2], the existing VTY commands for MS
power control in the BTS were deprecated and changed to use the
new structures as storage. Finally, in change [3], handling of
the power control parameters on the A-bis/RSL was implemented.
This change is the final logical step in the mentioned chain: it
makes both MS/BS power control loops use the new parameters, and
removes the old structures. The actual implementation of both
power control loops remains the same, however the expected output
of some unit tests for the Downlink loop needs to be changed:
- TC_fixed_mode: disabling dynamic power control becomes a separate
step of the test script since the field 'fixed' is removed;
- TC_rxlev_target: RxLev thresholds are printed 'as-is'.
Not all of the new parameters are used by the power control loops
yet. Further improvements to be done in the follow up commits.

For the sake of simplicity, the old structures that are still used
by MS/BS power control loops are kept in place. Migration to the
new structures requires additional changes to the existing power
control logic, so it will be done in the follow-up changes.
The new parameters are integrated as follows:
+ struct gsm_bts - a BTS instance:
| Hard-coded default (fall-back) parameters for all transceivers.
|
+-+-> struct gsm_bts_trx - a TRX instance (transceiver):
| Default parameters for all logical channels inherited from
| 'struct gsm_bts' at start-up. May be overwritten by the
| BSC using ip.access specific 'Measurement Pre-processing
| Defaults' message on the A-bis/RSL interface.
|
+---> struct gsm_lchan - a logical channel (e.g. TCH or SDCCH):
Connection specific parameters inherited from 'struct
gsm_bts_trx'. May be overwritten by parameters sent
by the BSC in CHANnel ACTIVation and other messages.

In Change-Id I1fd513ea03297918d15d4b28ed454f9b6dd6ebfa we introduced
patching of SI4 to indicate GPRS presence in terms of PCU connection
status. Unfortauntely this didn't account for optional IEs being
present in SI4, and hence overwrote any CBCH related information
elements, if present.
This in turn meant that since the above-mentioned commit, you could
have either a GPRS-capable, network, or a Cell Broadcast capable one.

We already have MS Power Control, which according to 3GPP 45.008
shall be implemented in the MS to minimize the transmit power in
the Uplink direction. The BS Power Control may optionally be
implemented by the network side for the same purpose.
Using Downlink signal measurements reported by the MS, the BSS
(either BSC, or BTS) may control Downlink attenuation in a way
that the transmit power remains as low as possible, or remains
in a specific range corresponding to good RxLev values on the
MS side. This change implements autonomous BS Power Control,
that can optionally be enabled by the BSC.
BS Power Control re-uses parts of the MS Power Control code,
so all parameters can be configured in the same way - via the
VTY interface or a configuration file. This basically means
that features like hysteresis and EWMA based filtering are
also available for BS Power Control.
The only difference is that RxQual values higher than 0 would
trigger the logic to reduce the current attenuation twice.
Note that one of the unit tests ('TC_rxlev_max_min') fails,
as the power step limitations for raising and lowering look
wrong to me, and the related discussion is still ongoing.

change until we also adjust osmo-bsc. See OS#4858.

Similar to bts_vty_init(), BTS specific bts_model_vty_init()
requires a pointer to 'struct gsm_bts'. Not only it's used
as a parent talloc context, but also stored locally, so then
it can be used by some VTY commands.
Let's expose the global 'struct gsm_bts' from main, and pass
the application's talloc context like was done in [1].
This finally makes the BTS model specific options appear in
the automatically generated VTY reference (--vty-ref-xml).

All the Operative State logic to manage a RadioCarrier//BBTransc NM objects is
centralized in these FSM, where other parts of the code simply send
events to it.
This allows keeping state consistent and offloading logic from each bts
backend, since they are only required to submit events now.
The idea in the long run is to also replace other NM objects with
similar FSMs.
This improved logic fixes bug where PHY + RSL link became available before
OPSTART and hence op state changed to Enabled before receiving any OPSTART message.

This fixes old behavior mimicing broken behavior in nanoBTS (according to TS 12.21)
where BTS Site Mgr NM object was announced as Enabled despite no OPSTART
was sent by the BSC.
With this new FSM, BTS SiteManager will be announced as Disabled Offline
during OML startup conversation, instead of Enabled.
The new osmo-bsc OML management FSMs use this change in behavior to find
out whether it should use the old broken management states (without
Offline state, as per nanoBTS) or use the new state transitions (which
allow fixing several race conditions).
