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_*

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.

The DLCI field of the DTAP header indicates the SAPI as well as the
data link (main DCCH or SACCH). We must make sure to use the correct
DLCI when sending DTAP to the BSC.
We achieve this by
* storing the DLCI in the msgb->cb while parsing the DTAP header
* storing the received DLCI (from msgb->cb) in the transaction for
mobile-originated transactions
* using the trans->dlci to sent msgb->cb when transmitting L3
* filling the DTAP DLCI value from msgb->cb when transmitting DTAP
For MSC-originated transactions, we choose a DLCI value corresponding
to the service (SAPI=0 for CC, SAPI=3 for SMS) and store that in
trans->dlci.

When osmo-msc restarts it looses all information about the BSC. The
BSC will not be aware of the reboot and on the next communication
attemt it will notice that something is wrong and start the reset
procedure on his side. osmo-msc will receive the reset messages
and send a reset.
The reset is received. Osmo-msc detects that no context information
is created yet. The context is created. Then it is checked if the
UNITTDATA message that came in is a reset. If it is one. Nothing
happens. The UNITTDATA is passed on and triggers the RESET-ACK
some layers above. Unfortunately by the current code this also
means that no reset FSM is created and therefore a_reset_conn_ready()
can never be true. Which means it will also drop any legitimate
reset from the BSC in the future.
- Ensure that the reset FSM is always created when a new BSC
context is created
- Make sure that reset related traffic always passes so that
the higher layers can handle the procedure properly

We cannot use conn->a.conn_id after conn has been free'd inside

When we receive a msgb-wrapped primitive from the SCCP provider (stack),
it transfers msgb ownership to us (the SCCP user). The existing code
passed the msgb ownership down into all the various downstream
functions, which each then had to take care of msgb free'ing.
Not all of the paths did eventually free the msgb. And at least one
path used data from the primitive *after* the free
Let's restructure this in a way that no msgb ownership is transferred
down the call chain. Instead, there's one common msgb_free() in
sccp_sap_up(). We can do this as nobody is queueing or otherwise
keeping the msgb.

Disable large parts of the code that depend on BSC presence. The code sections
disabled by #if BEFORE_MSCSPLIT shall be modified or dropped in the course of
adding the A-interface.
Don't set msg->lchan nor msg->dst.
Don't use lchan in libmsc.
Decouple lac from bts.
Prepare entry/exit point for MSC -> BSC and MSC -> RNC communication:
Add msc_ifaces.[hc], a_iface.c, with a general msc_tx_dtap() to redirect to
different interfaces depending on the actual subscriber connection.
While iu_tx() is going to be functional fairly soon, the a_tx() is going to be
just a dummy for some time (see comment).
Add Iu specific fields in gsm_subscriber_connection: the UE connection pointer
and an indicator for the Integrity Protection status on Iu (to be fully
implemented in later commits).
Add lac member to gsm_subscriber_connection, to allow decoupling from
bts->location_area_code. The conn->lac will actually be set in iu.c in an
upcoming commit ("add iucs.[hc]").
move to libcommon-cs: gsm48_extract_mi(), gsm48_paging_extract_mi().
libmsc: duplicate gsm0808 / gsm48 functions (towards BSC).
In osmo-nitb, libmsc would directly call the functions on the BSC level, not
always via the bsc_api. When separating libmsc from libbsc, some functions are
missing from the linkage.
Hence duplicate these functions to libmsc, add an msc_ prefix for clarity, also

* add msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() (dummy/stub)
* add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack()
* add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej()
Call these from libmsc instead of
* gsm0808_cipher_mode()
* gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack()
* gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej()
Also add a comment related to msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() in two places.
Remove internal RTP streaming code; OsmoNITB supported that, but for OsmoMSC,
this will be done with an external MGCP gateway.
Remove LCHAN_MODIFY from internal MNCC state machine.
Temporarily disable all paging to be able to link libmsc without libbsc.
Skip the paging part of channel_test because the paging is now disabled.
Employ fake paging shims in order for msc_vlr_tests to still work.
msc_compl_l3(): publish in .h, tweak return value. Use new libmsc enum values
for return val, to avoid dependency on libbsc headers. Make callable from
other scopes: publish in osmo_msc.h and remove 'static' in osmo_msc.c

abis_rsl.c: don't use libvlr from libbsc
gsm_subscriber_connection: put the LAC here, so that it is available without
accessing conn->bts. In bsc_api.c, place this lac in conn for the sake of
transition: Iu and A will use this new field to pass the LAC around, but in a
completely separate OsmoBSC this is not actually needed. It can be removed
again from osmo-bsc.git when the time has come.
