This change introduces several new VTY commands letting the user
a possibility to introspect and reconfigure some of the existing
timers implemented using libosmocore's osmo_tdef API.
At the moment this covers the following timers:
- MGW specific timers:
- X1 - MGCP response timeout,
- X2 - RTP stream establishing timeout,
- RAN specific timers (same names for GERAN and UTRAN):
- X1 - Authentication and Ciphering timeout,
- X2 - RAN connection release sanity timeout,
- X3 - Handover procedure timeout.
The following commands are introduced:
- 'enable' node:
- show timer [(mgw|mncc|sccp|geran|utran|sgs)] [TNNNN]
- 'config-msc' node:
- timer [(mgw|mncc|sccp|geran|utran|sgs)] [TNNNN] [(<0-2147483647>|default)]
Both MNCC and SCCP related timer definitions are empty at the
moment. Achieved by using osmo_tdef_group API of libosmovty.

Add a network -> callwaiting VTY command as boolean.
When this is enabled (default) there is no change to
operation previous to this commit.
When this switch is disabled with "no call-waiting" in vty
then when a call arrives, we will check if we have an active
call transaction for this subscriber, no matter if it is
establishing, established, or alerting, in any of these cases we
will return USER BUSY to the calling party.

Recently, the ability to run UTRAN without encryption was added, but the config
for it was tied to the A5 GERAN encryption configuration. This affected
osmo-msc's default behavior of Iu, breaking osmo-msc ttcn3 Iu tests: the ttcn3
test suite sets A5 to 0 (no encryption) but still expects Iu to enable air
encryption. Fix this "regression".
Add a separate vty config option for UEA encryption, even if it does not
provide full granularity to select individual UEA algorithms yet.
As a result, Iu default behavior remains to enable encryption regardless of the
A5 config. UTRAN encryption can be disabled by the new cfg option
"encryption uea 0" alone.
Even though the new vty command already allows passing various combinations of
the UEA algorithm numbers, only '0' and '1 2' are accepted as valid
combinations, to reflect current osmo-msc capabilities.
Revert most changes to the msc_vlr test suite in commit "do not force
encryption on UTRAN" (I04ecd7a3b1cc603b2e3feb630e8c7c93fc36ccd7): use new

Remove the conditions that always enable encryption on UTRAN.
We so far lack an explicit configuration for UTRAN encryption, and this patch
does not add any either. Instead, whether UTRAN encryption is enabled is simply
triggered on whether GERAN has A5 encryption enabled (A5/n with n > 0). Though
GERAN and UTRAN encryption are not technically related at all, this makes UTRAN
behave like GERAN for now, until we implement a proper separate configuration
for UTRAN encryption.
Adjust the msc_vlr_test_* configuration by setting the net->a5_encryption_mask
such that the expected output remains unchanged. A subsequent patch
(I54227f1f08c38c0bf69b9c48924669c4829b04b9) will add more tests, particularly
cases of UTRAN without encryption.

The current way of printing subscriber, connection, and transaction
info is ugly (sorry) and has several problems:
- the terminal width should be large enough to fit quite long lines,
otherwise the output is unreadable and looks misaligned;
- some fields (such as subscriber name) can be larger than it's
expected, so either they're getting truncated, or again, the
output is misaligned and unreadable;
- adding new info fields would require one to think about the
alignment and would make the output even more cumbersome.
Here is an example output of 'show connection' command:
_Subscriber_______________________________________ _LAC_ _RAN___________________ _MSC-A_state_________ _MSC-A_use_
IMSI-123456789012345:MSISDN-12345:TMSI-0x12345678 1 GERAN-A-4294967295:A5-3 WAIT_CLASSMARK_UPDATE 2=cm_service,trans_cc

Another 'show subscriber' command mixes the information about
subscriber, its connections and transactions without any alignment,
what also decreases the readability.
This change introduces a hierarchical approach, based on the old
'field per line' formatting. First of all, the VTY commands were
extended with optional flags:
show connection [trans]
show subscriber cache [(conn|trans|conn+trans)]
show subscriber TYPE ID [(conn|trans|conn+trans)]
so it can be decided, whether to print child connections and/or
transaction, or not. For example:
show connection trans
would print all connections and their child transactions with
hierarchical alignment:
Connection #00:
Subscriber: IMSI-262073993158656:MSISDN-123456:TMSI-0x76760B75
RAN connection: GERAN-A-1
RAN connection state: MSC_A_ST_COMMUNICATING
LAC / cell ID: 1 / 0
Use count total: 1
Use count: 1 (silent_call)
Transaction #00:
Unique (global) identifier: 0x00000000
GSM 04.07 identifier (MT): 0
Type: silent-call
another example is:
show subscriber cache conn+trans
which would print all known subscribers,
their active connections and transactions:
Subscriber #00:
MSISDN: 123456
LAC / cell ID: 1 / 0
RAN type: GERAN-A
IMSI: 262073993158656
TMSI: 76760B75
...
Connection:
RAN connection: GERAN-A-1
RAN connection state: MSC_A_ST_COMMUNICATING
...
Transaction #00:
Unique (global) identifier: 0x00000000
GSM 04.07 identifier (MT): 0
Type: silent-call
Transaction #01:
Unique (global) identifier: 0x00000001
GSM 04.07 identifier (MO): 0
Type: SMS
Transaction #02:
Unique (global) identifier: 0x00000002
GSM 04.07 identifier (MT): 0
Type: SMS
Please note that we don't print redundant info in child nodes
(i.e. connection and transaction info), such as subscriber name
in connection info, nor connection name in transaction info - it
is clear from the hierarchical formatting.

3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles:
- MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers,
- MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN.
- MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover.
After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while
the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management.
MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared
for, not yet implemented.
Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC
roles.
Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications:
- all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc
instance,
- messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface
(GSUP),
- no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary.
This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I
apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no
sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge
amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if
each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we
are stuck with this code bomb.
The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring:
* separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn
struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has
been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber
reference.
The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub
lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however
use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens.
Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local
ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM
implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a
struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the
msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP.
* New SCCP implementation for RAN access
To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the
individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation
used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of
separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in
such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code,
hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling.
sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN
connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific
details.
* RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP)
The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring:
make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic.
ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics,
from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra
pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations:
- managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c,
- classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs,
- recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to
matching RAN peers.
* RAN RESET now also for RANAP
ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also
supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide
proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO)
* RAN de-/encoding abstraction
The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP
implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on
distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A
role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to
decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between
BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding.
ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for:
- receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and
MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP
or RANAP;
- sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages
that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the
BSC/RNC and MS/UE.
The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and
ran_msg_iu.c.
In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths
for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place.
Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified.
Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always
remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics
from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN.
* MGW and RTP stream management
So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between
GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP
streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented
implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct
FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated
from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose.
Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN
and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and
receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting
the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The
caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP
stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from
one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP
peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each
transition.
The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an
overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far
from trivial:
- an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for
configuring them by talking to the MGW;
- an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's
connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices;
- a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice
call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

* Use counts
Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this
purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a
globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use
in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count
API.
* FSM Timeouts
Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY
implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the
correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

It may happen that either the MS or an EUSE would become
unresponsive during a call independent SS session, e.g.
due to a bug, or a dropped message. In such cases, the
corresponding transaction would remain unfreed forever.
This change introduces a guard timer, that prevents keeping
'stalled' NCSS sessions forever. As soon as it expires, both
sides (i.e. MS and EUSE) are getting notified, and the
transaction is being released.
By default, the timer expires after 30 seconds. As soon as
either the MS, or an EUSE initiates any activity,
the watchdog timer is rescheduled.
The timeout value can be configured from the VTY:
msc
...
! Use 0 to disable this timer
ncss guard-timeout 30
Please note that changing the timeout value at run-time
doesn't affect the existing NCSS sessions, excepting the
case when the timer is disabled at run-time.
This change makes TC_lu_and_ss_session_timeout pass.

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.

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.

Along goes GSM_KEYSEQ_INVAL as VLR_*.
It's where it logically belongs, and is almost the only reason why vlr.h
includes gsm_data.h. The remaining reason, GSM_EXTENSION_LENGTH, will be moved
by upcoming patch.

For hysterical raisins, there are some header files that contain few
declarations, and where the name doesn't reflect the content. Combine them to
new msc_common.h:
- common.h
- common_cs.h
- osmo_msc.h

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_*

On UTRAN, Security Mode is used instead of Ciphering Command, which does not
feature an A5 algorithm id.

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.
