As a rudiment of OsmoNiTB, OsmoMSC is still involved in SMS
processing, storage (in SQLite DB), and routing (via SMPP).
In real networks this is done by the external entity called
SMSC (SMS Centre), while the MSC is doing re-encapsulation
of GSM 04.11 SM-TL (Transport Layer) payload (i.e. TPDU)
between SM-RL (Relay Layer) and MAP.
Since OsmoMSC itself is not a 'Network in The Box' anymore, it
makes sense to replicate the 'traditional' behaviour of MSC.
The problem is that this behaviour cannot co-exist with the
current implementation, so the key idea is to rip out the
local SMS storage and routing from OsmoMSC, and (re)implement
it in a separate process (OsmoSMSC?).
As a temporary solution, this change introduces a 'kill-switch'
VTY option that enables routing of SMS messages over GSUP
towards ESME (through VLR and HLR), but breaks the local
storage and routing. This is why it's disabled by default.
As soon as we move the SMS processing and storage away from
OsmoMSC, this behaviour would be enabled by default, and
the VTY option would be hidden and deprecated. At the moment,
this option basically does nothing, and will take an effect
in the follow-up changes.

We can check if we're parsing the config file by checking
whether vty->type equals VTY_FILE. This avoids the use of

Both are described in 3GPP TS 23.008 $2.4 as temporary subscriber data
to be stored in VLR. Both are defined in 3GPP TS 23.003. The LAC is part
of LAI which is part of CGI so there should be no case when those values
differ for a given subscriber.

Two reasons:
- the caller of msc_mgcp_ass_complete() from Iu, iucs_rx_rab_assign(), failed
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.

With the dawn of inter-BSC,MSC handover, adopting the MSC-A,-I,-T roles from
3GPP TS 49.008, the RAN connection shall soon be a neatly separated corner of

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_*

According to GSM TS 04.11, the SMC (Short Message Control) state
machine is a part of CM-sublayer of L3, that is responsible for
connection management (establisment and releasing), and SM-RP
(Relay Protocol) message delivery.
For some reason, the connection establisment request from SMC
(GSM411_MMSMS_EST_REQ) was not handled properly - it was
always assumed that connection is already established.
This is why the code initiating a MT (Mobile Terminated) SMS
transfer had to establish a radio connection with subscriber
manually.
Let's benefit from having the SMC state machine, and offload
connection establishment to it. This change makes the local
implementation closer to GSM TS 04.11, and facilitates the
further integration of GSUP transport.
NOTE: the expected unit test output is changed, because now we
always allocate a transaction first, and then establish a
connection, not vice versa.

This recent patch moves Classmark storage to the VLR subscriber, and introduced
a segfault when a Classmark Update is received during IMSI detach:

"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.

The intention was to use the file's basename, but __BASE_FILE__ means "the root
file that is being parsed and contains #include statements".
If we had a function using __BASE_FILE__ and that was defined in an #included
file, __BASE_FILE__ would indicate the first file where the #include is, and
not the file where the function is defined. __BASE_FILE__ works for us because
we don't ever include function definitions that log something, so __BASE_FILE__
always coincides with __FILE__ for our logging; but still __BASE_FILE__ is
semantically the wrong constant.

This change introduces some new rate counters for call-independent
SS/USSD connections. As OsmoMSC doesn't handle the messages itself,
and only responsible for dispatching messages between both
A and GSUP interfaces, the following is taken into account:
- MS-initiated and network-initiated requests to establish
a NC SS/USSD session (transaction) - "nc_ss:m{o|t}_requests";
- successfully established MS-initiated and network-initiated
SS/USSD sessions (transactions) - "nc_ss:m{o|t}_established".

In order to be able to support external SS/USSD gateway, we should
not terminate the GSM 04.80 messages at OsmoMSC. Instead, we need
to follow the GSM TS 09.11 specification, and forward all messages
unhandled by OsmoMSC to OsmoHLR over GSUP protocol.
This change implements forwarding of MO SS/USSD messages. The
forwarding assumes transcoding between GSM 04.80 messages and
GSUP messages. The payload of Facility IE is carried 'as is'.
As a side-effect, this will disable the osmo-msc internal handler
implementing the "*#100#" for obtaining the subscribers own phone
