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.

- bscs.config needed by the vty tests was not picked up as a dist file, because
its suffix is not 'cfg'. Rename to *.cfg. Apply this rename in
vty_test_runner.py and osmo-bsc_nat.cfg.
- Remove restart counters after external tests, otherwise distcheck complains
about uncleaned files.
- Add contrib/ipa.py to EXTRA_DIST, hence add a Makefile.am to contrib/.
Otherwise the python tests cannot find that dependency.

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.

This was a stupid decision. We will have to assign the
network at some other place. The problem will be a problem
when we have two gsm_networks in one process and the same
subscriber is traveling in both networks.
select function ob libbsc. A "polling" flag is used to enable polling.
In this case select() will not sleep until file descriptor events occurr
or nearest timer expires. Also a return value will indicate if there was
an event that has been handled. If there was an event, the application
decides to poll again and don't wait.
In case for bsc_hack, the polling flag is not set. select will sleep as
usual.
(Andreas Eversberg)
* gsm_util now uses caller-allocated data (rather than callee-allocated)
* correctly parse destination address
* parse (but not transcode) non-default encodings of SMS
* reject SMS to unknown destination number
* resolve target subscriber id and store incoming SMS (without header) in 'sms' table
What we're now missing is the sending part, i.e. a regular task iterating over
all pending SMS and trying to deliver them. Also, check for pending SMS once
we get a LOCATION UPDATE.
gsm_subscriber is now refcounted, the db backend is leaking
a lot less, db_get_subscriber will allocate the subscr record
now, subscr_* will look up a subscriber in the list of currently
active subscribers and add an ref to this one.
The db test cases pass, more testing will be when next to the bts
Call use_lchan early in allocate_loc_updating_req, do not directly call
rsl_chan_release but go through channel alloc to take the use_count into
account.
Use strdup to be able to use strtok on the category string and add
a test case. Also safe some more information to be able to use color
in the print statement.
One can use add_timer or schedule_timer to add a timer. After
the timeout time has been reached the callback will be called.
One can call add_time/schedule_timer and del_timer from within
the callback.
