We basically want to probe whether it's possible to allocate TBFs, or
whether we know it will fail due to all main resources being already in
use (TFI, USF).
Having bts_all_pdch_allocated() return false doesn't mean though that an
MS will be able to allocate a TBF for sure. That's because further
restrictions are applied based on MS: whether it was already attached to
a specific TRX, whether the ms_class allows for a certain multislot
combination, etc. However, it should provide a general idea on whether
for sure the PCU is unable to provide more allocations. More fine
grained state about failures can still be followed by looking at
tbf:alloc:failed:* rate counters.

This commit actually addresses 2 errors:
1- gprs_bssgp_pcu_rx_paging_ps() called gprs_rlcmac_paging_request()
with MI which can be either TMSI or IMSI, and the later always called
bts_pch_timer_start() passing mi->imsi regardless of the MI type. Hence,
trash was being accessed & stored into bts_pch_timer structures if MI
type used for paging was TMSI.
2- When the MS received the PS paging on CCCH and requests an UL TBF, it
will send some data. If one phase access is used for whatever reason,
the IMSI may not be yet available in the GprsMs object since we never
received it (and we'd only have it by means of PktResourceReq). Hence,
let's better first try to match the paging by TLLI/TMSI if set in both
places, and otherwise use the IMSI.

We are freeing the object immediately afterwards anyway, so no need to
pretend it went through the normal state release.
Leaving current state as it is actually provides more information on

At some point later in time the state_flags will most probably be split
into different variables, one ending up in a different FSM. It is moved
so far to the exsiting FSM from the C++ class since it's easier to
access it from C and C++ code, and anyway that kind of information
belongs to the FSM.

Since a while ago, the data architecture was changed so that TBF is
guaranteed to always have a MS object associated. Hence, it makes no
sense to pass the MS object as a separate param as we can take it from
tbf object and makes code less confusing.

Before this patch, allocate_usf() was implemented to only allocate 1 USF
per TBF, regardless of the available ul_slot mask.
As a result, only 1 slot at max was allocated to any TBF. That's a pity
because usual multislot classes like 12 support up to 2 UL slots per TBF
(in common TS with DL).
This patch reworks allocate_usf() to allocate as many UL multislots as
possible (given mslot class, current USF availability, TFI availability,
related DL TBF slots for the same MS, etc.).
As a result, it can be seen that AllocTest results change substantially
and maximum concurrent TBF allocation drops under some conditions.
That happens due to more USFs being reserved (because each TBF has now
more UL slots reserved). Hence now USF exhaustion becomes the usual
limitation factor as per the number of concurrent TBFs than can be
handled per TRX (as opposed to TFIs previously).
Some of the biggest limitations in test appear though because really
high end multislot classes are used, which can consume high volumes of
UL slots (USFs), and which are probably not the most extended devices in
the field.
Moreover, in general the curren timeslot allocator for a given
multislot class will in general try to optimize the DL side gathering
most of the possible timeslots there. That means, for instance on ms
class 12 (4 Tx, 4Rx, 5 Sum), 4 DL slots and 1 UL slot will still be
selected. But in the case where only 3 PDCHs are available, then with
this new multi-slot UL support a TBF will reserve 3 DL slots and 2 UL
slots, while before this patch it would only taken 1 UL slot instead of
2.
This USF exhaustion situation can be improved in the future by
parametrizing (VTY command?) the maximum amount of UL slots that a TBF
can reserve, making for instance a default value of 2, meaning usual
classes can gather up 2 UL timelosts at a time while forbidding high-end
hungry classes to gather up to 8 UL timeslots.
Another approach would be to dynamically limit the amount of allowed
reservable UL timeslots based on current USF reservation load.

Previous work on BTS class started to get stuff out of the C++ struct
into a C struct (BTS -> struct gprs_glcmac_bts) so that some parts of
it were accessible from C code. Doing so, however, ended up being messy
too, since all code needs to be switching from one object to another,
which actually refer to the same logical component.
Let's instead rejoin the structures and make sure the struct is
accessible and usable from both C and C++ code by rewriting all methods
to be C compatible and converting 3 allocated suboject as pointers.
This way BTS can internally still use those C++ objects while providing
a clean APi to both C and C++ code.
Change-Id: I7d12c896c5ded659ca9d3bff4cf3a3fc857db9dd
Currently the BTS object (and gprs_rlcmac_bts struct) are used to hold
both PCU global fields and BTS specific fields, all mangled together.
The BTS is even accessed in lots of places by means of a singleton.
This patch introduces a new struct gprs_pcu object aimed at holding all
global state, and several fields are already moved from BTS to it. The
new object can be accessed as global variable "the_pcu", reusing and
including an already exisitng "the_pcu" global variable only used for
bssgp related purposes so far.
This is only a first step towards having a complete split global pcu and
BTS, some fields are still kept in BTS and will be moved over follow-up
smaller patches in the future (since this patch is already quite big).
So far, the code still only supports one BTS, which can be accessed
using the_pcu->bts. In the future that field will be replaced with a
list, and the BTS singletons will be removed.
The cur_fn output changes in TbfTest are actually a side effect fix,
since the singleton main_bts() now points internally to the_pcu->bts,
hence the same we allocate and assign in the test. Beforehand, "the_bts"
was allocated in the stack while main_bts() still returned an unrelated
singleton BTS object instance.

When allocating multiple slots for a UE the following example
is not allowed 'UU----UU' for a UE class 12.
The time slot number can not roll over 7 and move to 0.
44.060 or 45.002 only specifies contigous however it was unclear
it this is an allowed pattern.
Only the example 45.002 B.3 in release 12 cleared this up.
It gives an example for a multi slot class 5 UE which has 7 possible
configuration this means the rolled over is not allowed.
Multislot class type 2 UE doesn't have this limitation.
Further if a UE supports 8 time slots this is not a limitation because
the window size (45.002 B.1) can include all time slots.

When both TBFs (Dl, Ul), are detached, ms_detach_tbf() will call
ms_start_timer() which will hold a reference of the MS (ms_ref()) and
wait for X seconds (VTY config, T=-2030, 60 seconds by default) before
unrefing the MS, which will trigger ms_update_status() finally (ref==0)
and will in turn call cb.ms_idle(), which will tell the ms_storage to
free the MS.
This mechanism is used to keep MS objects around for a certain time so
that when new TBFs are established, we have cached interesting
information about the MS, ready to use.
However, in AllocTest, tons of MS are allocated in a loop calling a
function (such as test_alloc_b_ul_dl()). In that function, a BTS is
allocated in the stack and at the end of the function BTS::cleanup() is
called due to implicit destructor, which ends up calling
ms_storage::cleanup() which removes all MS from its list and frees them
*if they are not idle*. The problem here, is that due to T=-2030, an
extra reference is hold and hence the ms is not considered idle
(ms_is_idle() checks ms->ref==0). As a result, the MS is never freed,
because we don't use libosmocore mainloop here (and in any case, it
would take 60 seconds to free it).
By setting the timeout of T=-2030 to 0, ms_start_timer will avoid using
the timer and will also avoid holding the extra reference, hence
allowing ms_storage to free the object during cleanup().
This fix really helps in improving performance for AllocTest specially
after MS object contains a rate_ctr. As tons of MS objects were left
alive, they stood in the rate_ctr single per-process queue, making the
test last crazy amount of time and spending 50% of the time or more
iterating the list full of MS related rate counters.

As we integrate osmo-pcu more and more with libosmocore features, it
becomes really hard to use them since libosmocore relies heavily on C
specific compilation features, which are not available in old C++
compilers (such as designated initializers for complex types in FSMs).
GprsMs is right now a quite simple object since initial design of
osmo-pcu made it optional and most of the logic was placed and stored
duplicated in TBF objects. However, that's changing as we introduce more
features, with the GprsMS class getting more weight. Hence, let's move
it now to be a C struct in order to be able to easily use libosmocore
features there, such as FSMs.
Some helper classes which GprsMs uses are also mostly move to C since
they are mostly structs with methods, so there's no point in having
duplicated APIs for C++ and C for such simple cases.
For some more complex classes, like (ul_,dl_)tbf, C API bindings are
added where needed so that GprsMs can use functionalitites from that
class. Most of those APIs can be kept afterwards and drop the C++ ones
since they provide no benefit in general.

The assumption that TLLI 0x00000000 is invalid and can be used
as the initializer is wrong. Similar to TMSI, 0x00000000 is a
perfectly valid value, while 0xffffffff is reserved - use it.
According to 3GPP TS 23.003, section 2.4, a TMSI/P-TMSI with
all 32 bits equal to 1 is special and shall not be allocated by
the network. The reason is that it must be stored on the SIM,
where 'ff'O represents the erased state. According to section
2.6 of the same document, a local/foreign TLLI is derived from
P-TMSI, so the same rule applies to TLLI.
I manually checked and corrected all occurances of 'tlli' in the
code. The test expectations have been adjusted with this command:
$ find tests/ -name "*.err" | xargs sed -i "s/0x00000000/0xffffffff/g"
so there should be no behavior change. The only exception is
the 'TypesTest', where TLLI 0xffffffff is being encoded and
expected in the hexdump, so I regenerated the test output.

This is another step forward towards a more clear data model where a TBF
always has a MS object (which may be lacking some information, and at a
later point when more information is found, it may actually be a
duplicated MS object and hence one duplicate removed and the TBF moved
to the object being kept).
This helps for instance in removing duplicated information stored in
the TBF which is really per MS, like ms_class, ta, etc. Since there's
always a MS object there's no need to keep a duplicate in both classes
in case there's no MS object.
It can already be seen looking at unit test logging that this kind of
data model already provides better information.
Some unit test parts were needed to adapt to the new model too.

The top-level test_alloc_b() is used as part of exhaustion tests in

it's better to indicate it to caller instead of failing entire program.
The test output does not require any adjustements because we do not
