to be adjusted, breaking IuCS, as an --enable-iu --enable-werror build shows.
Unfortunately our gerrit verification doesn't --enable-werror for osmo-msc.

BSSMAP Assignment Complete: sort MGCP handling upon Assignment Complete to the
proper locations. a_iface_bssap.c is not the right place to invoke the MGCP
related procedures.
- in a_iface_bssap.c only decode the IEs.
- call ran_conn_assign_compl() and pass decoded values.
- drop msc_assign_compl(), it was dead code; instead:
- add ran_conn_assign_compl()
- pass on all MGCP related info to msc_mgcp_ass_complete()
- move all MGCP ctx related handling from a_iface_bssap.c to msc_mgcp.c.
I'm dropping some comments to save some time, because if I adjust them IMHO
they would still anyway restate the obvious.
ran_conn_assign_compl() is now quite a thin shim, but it makes sense to have
it:
- This is the place that should tear down the ran_conn in case assignment
failed, left for a future patch.
- In the light of upcoming inter-MSC handover, ran_conn_assign_compl() will be
the place where the Assignment Complete message might be relayed to a remote
MSC.

So far the only way to use external MNCC is to pass the -M cmdline arg:
osmo-msc -M /path/to/socket
However, the osmo-msc.service file for systemd is installed by 'make install',
and hence it is quite impractical to depend on such a config item to be
required in the service file:
- It defies any scheme an operator may have in place to compose the
osmo-msc.cfg file -- this option doesn't go in the .cfg file but needs
separate action to add to the installed service file.
- After a make install or package upgrades / re-installations, this option will
be plain overwritten silently, or lead to the need for resolving file
conflicts.
The initial spark for this came from configuring the 35c3 GSM from cfg
templates.

Following previous rename of gsm_subscriber_connection:
Some functions and #defines are still called like "msc_conn" or just "msc_",
while they are clearly about a RAN conn.
To avoid confusion with the future separate concepts of MSC roles and a RAN
connection, rename all those to match the common "ran_conn" prefix.
Change-Id: Ia17a0a35f11911e00e19cafb5d7828d729a69640
In preparation for inter-BSC and inter-MSC handover, we need to separate the
subscriber management logic from the actual RAN connections. What better time
to finally rename gsm_subscriber_connection.
* Name choice:
In 2G, this is a connection to the BSS, but even though 3GPP TS commonly talk
of "BSS-A" and "BSS-B" when explaining handover, it's not good to call it
"bss_conn": in 3G a BSS is called RNS, IIUC.
The overall term for 2G (GERAN) and 3G (UTRAN) is RAN: Radio Access Network.
* Rationale:
A subscriber in the MSC so far has only one RAN connection, but e.g. for
inter-BSC handover, a second one needs to be created to handover to. Most of
the items in the former gsm_subscriber_connection are actually related to the
RAN, with only a few MM and RTP related items. So, as a first step, just rename
it to ran_conn, to cosmetically prepare for moving the not strictly RAN related
items away later.
Also:
- Rename some functions from msc_subscr_conn_* to ran_conn_*
- Rename "Subscr_Conn" FSM instance name to "RAN_conn"
- Rename SUBSCR_CONN_* to RAN_CONN_*

This recent patch moves Classmark storage to the VLR subscriber, and introduced
a segfault when a Classmark Update is received during IMSI detach:
commit 986fe7ed18
change-id I27081bf6e9e017923b2d02607f7ea06beddad82a

"store classmark in vlr_subscr, not conn"
It assumed that we would never accept any Classmark Update messages unless we
also have a valid subscriber for it. Well, that is proven wrong by the
ttcn3-msc-test TC_imsi_detach_by_imsi(), which brings osmo-msc to its knees.
Fix: in case of no valid vlr_subscr being present, store Classmark in the conn
temporarily, and copy any received Classmark to VLR subscriber as soon as it
gets associated with the conn (if at all).
Change-Id: Ib2a2ae6bf86e8f29fc6751a8b5cdb7187cd70290
When the VLR requests a Ciphering Mode with vlr_ops.set_ciph_mode(), and if we
need a ciph algo flag from a Classmark information that is not yet known
(usually CM 2 during LU), send a BSSMAP Classmark Request to get it.
To manage the intermission of the Classmark Request, add
- msc_classmark_request_then_cipher_mode_cmd(),
- state SUBSCR_CONN_S_WAIT_CLASSMARK_UPDATE,
- event SUBSCR_CONN_E_CLASSMARK_UPDATE.
From state AUTH_CIPH, switch to state WAIT_CLASSMARK_UPDATE. Once the BSSMAP
Classmark Response, is received, switch back to SUBSCR_CONN_S_AUTH_CIPH and
re-initiate Ciphering Mode.
To be able to re-enter the Ciphering Mode algo decision, factor it out into
msc_geran_set_cipher_mode().
Rationale:
In the following commit, essentially we stopped supporting A5/3 ciphering:
commit 71330720b6
"MSC: Intersect configured A5 algorithms with MS-supported ones"
Change-Id: Id124923ee52a357cb7d3e04d33f585214774f3a3
A5/3 was no longer supported because from that commit on, we strictly checked
the MS-supported ciphers, but we did not have Classmark 2 available during
Location Updating.
This patch changes that: when Classmark 2 is missing, actively request it by a
BSSMAP Classmark Request; continue Ciphering only after the Response. Always
request missing Classmark, even if a lesser cipher were configured available.
If the Classmark Update response fails to come in, cause an attach failure.
Instead, we could attempt to use a lesser cipher that is also enabled. That is
left as a future feature, should that become relevant. I think it's unlikely.
Technically, we could now end up requesting a Classmark Updating both during LU
(vlr_lu_fsm) and CM Service/Paging Response (proc_arq_fsm), but in practice the
only time we lack a Classmark is: during Location Updating with A5/3 enabled.
A5/1 support is indicated in CM1 which is always available, and A5/3 support is
indicated in CM2, which is always available during CM Service Request as well
as Paging Response. So this patch has practical relevance only for Location
Updating. For networks that permit only A5/3, this patch fixes Location
Updating. For networks that support A5/3 and A5/1, so far we always used A5/1
during LU, and after this patch we request CM2 and likely use A5/3 instead.
In msc_vlr_test_gsm_ciph, verify that requesting Classmark 2 for A5/3 works
during LU. Also verify that the lack of a Classmark Response results in attach
failure.
In msc_vlr_test_gsm_ciph, a hacky unit test fakes a situation where a CM2 is
missing during proc_arq_fsm and proves that that code path works, even though
the practical relevance is currently zero. It would only become interesting if
ciphering algorithms A5/4 and higher became relevant, because support of those
would be indicated in Classmark 3, which would always require a Classmark
Request.

Store all Classmark information in the VLR.
So, we now always know the Classmark 1 (mandatory IE for LU). This is visible
in the msc_vlr_tests -- they no longer indicate "assuming A5/1 is supported"
because classmark 1 is missing, because we now know the Classmark 1.
Rationale:
During Location Updating, we receive Classmark 1; during CM Service Request and
Paging Response, we receive Classmark 2. So far we stored these only for the
duration of the conn, so as soon as a LU is complete, we would forget CM1.
In other words, for anything else than a LU Request, we had no Classmark 1
available at all.
During Ciphering Mode Command, we rely on Classmark 1 to determine whether A5/1
is supported. That is moot if we don't even have a Classmark 1 for any CM
Service Request or Paging Response initiated connections.
The only reason that A5/1 worked is that we assume A5/1 to work if Classmark 1
is missing. To add to the confusion, if a phone indicated that it did *not*
support A5/1 in the Classmark 1, according to spec we're supposed to not
service it at all. A code comment however says that we instead want to heed the
flag -- which so far was only present in a Location Updating initiated
connection. Now we can make this decision without assuming things.
This got my attention while hacking on sending a BSSMAP Classmark Request from
the MSC if it finds missing Classmark information, and was surprised to see it
it lacking CM1 to decide about A5/1.

When sending a BSSMAP Clear or Iu Release, do not immediately discard the conn,

Refactor:
1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm.
2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM.
3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release.
4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM.
5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types.
Details:
1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm.
Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and
only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting
openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence:
Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm
instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn
as soon as the FSM terminates.
2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM.
Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for
the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a
valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release".
A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's
NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(),
without needing to trigger release in each code path.
3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release.
Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would
need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching
events, to achieve a use_count decrement.
Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the
FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero.
As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly.
These exceptions:
- The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the
use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I
experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by
onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next
state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again.
Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before
we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count
during the AUTH_CIPH state.)
- A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all
it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS.
Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending.
- While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on
itself.
4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM.
If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we
still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to
release.
(An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for
Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.)
5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types.
Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response
acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph
outcomes actually show in the counters.

In trans_free(), call subscr_conn_release_when_unused(), so that we are sure to
clean up after the last transaction is done.
This fixes an error where a conn lingered after a CC failure, because that code
path forgot to trigger cleanup.
Rationale: so far we were triggering the release check after each DTAP dispatch
(compl_l3 and "normal" DTAP), which is sufficient for properly closed
transactions. We also need a check for when a timeout clears an erratic trans.
Adjust test expectation of test_call_mo_to_unknown_timeout to show that the
error is now fixed.
msc_vlr_test_reject_concurrency now sees an additional release checking event
when the SMS transaction is done, which is expected and does not affect the
test otherwise.

Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>,
polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>.
This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch.
This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep
it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work.
SMS:
The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the
SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on
the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the
subscriber is currently attached.
If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this
will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will
reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the
next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash
list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the
SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already.
There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending
SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to
actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to
deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.
This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time
when we have a proper separate SMSC entity.
Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc.
Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task
of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly.
Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.
Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See
I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.
So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in
Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c.

This is the first step in creating this repository from the legacy openbsc.git.
Like all other Osmocom repositories, keep the autoconf and automake files in
the repository root. openbsc.git has been the sole exception, which ends now.
