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 a _tx to gsm0808_cipher_mode():
* 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
add gsm_encr to subscr_conn
move subscr_request to gsm_subscriber.h
subscr_request_channel() -> subscr_request_conn()
move to libmsc: osmo_stats_vty_add_cmds()
gsm_04_08: remove apply_codec_restrictions()
gsm0408_test: use NULL for root ctx
move to libbsc: gsm_bts_neighbor()
move to libbsc: lchan_next_meas_rep()
move vty config for t3212 to network level (periodic lu)
remove unneccessary linking from some tests
remove handle_abisip_signal()
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.
Siemens MRPCI: completely drop sending the MRPCI messages for now, they shall
be added in osmo-bsc once the A-Interface code has settled. See OS#2389.

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.

* initialize some data structures before using them in RSL
* DATA_REQ is a transparent message
* more elaborate DEBUGP statements here and there
* don't call 04.08 with zero-length RSL DATA INDICATION
* reject 04.08 CC HOLD and RETRIEVE, as we don't support them yet
* correctly lchan_put the second lchan of a call at teardown
* map the RTP streams of ip.access onto each other
* fix bug that prevented a CONNECt message to ever reach the 'B' side
* initiate phone calls from one MS
* look-up the subscriber based on dialled extension
* page the called subscriber
* send the SETUP to the called subscriber, including CLIP/CLIR
* get ALERTING notification back to caller
* relay DISCONNECT from either side to the other
This is still far from being complete, but it at least works for the most common case
After auto releasing a channel the next paging request will
not be immediately answered. The hypothesis was that we do
not release the channel properly. Implementing Channel Release
of GSM 04.08 should have fixed it, but it didn't. According
to the wireshark dissectors the message is correct though.
- Add the RR cause values to gsm_04_08.
- Implement the Channel Release message
- Invoke the release channel function before deallocating
the lchan.
- Initialize Control Channel Description of SI3
- Patch the table
- Setting ATT now is easy
- Paging can now extract all required information... to determine
the right paging group.
Be able to send Accept/Reject the Service Request. Use mi_string
instead of the the msgb buffer (even if it is memsetted and such)...
The TMSI allocation seems to be a bit problematic and needs some
further checking. The rough idea is that we try to find the subscriber
for a CM Service Request and then decide based on the subscriber
if we want to handle the call.
Remove the callbacks from gsm_network for now. A set of different
callbacks will be back. E.g. when the paging is completed, when the
Q.931 like call handling is there...
Remove var's or move them into #if 0, remove unused stuff that looks
like we do not need it anytime soon or #if 0 them, move stuff around.
system information type 4 is a bit tricky as it has
a variable length and is terminated by a manadantory field.
System Information Type 6 has a mandantory SI 6 Reset Octet
but our BTS is happy with not receiving it. Make it optional
by the adding a 'pointer'.
System Information Type 5 and System Information Type 6 are
send through rsl_sacch_filling and it looks like we do not
need to send the L2 pseudo length. So far we have not found
the documentation confirming this. This is why the header
from Type 1 to Type 4 is not used.
