Many T.38 endpoints incorrectly send the maximum IFP frame size they can accept
as the T38FaxMaxDatagram value in their SDP, when in fact this value is
supposed to be the maximum UDPTL payload size (datagram size) they can accept.
If the value they supply is small enough (a commonly supplied value is '72'),
T.38 UDPTL transmissions will likely fail completely because the UDPTL packets
will not have enough room for a primary IFP frame and the redundancy used for
error correction. If this occurs, the Asterisk UDPTL stack will emit log messages
warning that data loss may occur, and that the value may need to be overridden.
This patch extends the 't38pt_udptl' configuration option in sip.conf to allow
the administrator to override the value supplied by the remote endpoint and
supply a value that allows T.38 FAX transmissions to be successful with that
endpoint. In addition, in any SIP call where the override takes effect, a debug
message will be printed to that effect. This patch also removes the
T38FaxMaxDatagram configuration option from udptl.conf.sample, since it has not
actually had any effect for a number of releases.
In addition, this patch cleans up the T.38 documentation in sip.conf.sample
(which incorrectly documented that T.38 support was passthrough only).

chan_sip has had the ability to control T.38 FAX error correction mode on a per-peer
(or global) basis for a couple of releases now, which is where it should have been
all along. This patch removes the ability to configure it in udptl.conf, but issues
a warning if the user tries to do, telling them to look at sip.conf.sample for how
to configure it now. For any SIP peers that are T.38 enabled in sip.conf, there is
already a default for FEC error correction even if the user does not specify any mode,
so this change will not turn off error correction by default, it will have the same
default value that has been in the udptl.conf sample file.

Some T.38 endpoints treat T38FaxMaxDatagram as the maximum IFP size that should
be sent to them, rather than the maximum packet payload size. If such an
endpoint also requests UDPRedundancy as the error correction mode, we'll end
up calculating a tiny maximum IFP size, so small as to be unusable. This patch
sets a lower bound on what we'll consider the remote's maximum IFP size to be,
assuming that endpoints that do this really can accept larger packets than
they've offered to accept.

Allow for UDPTL to use only even-numbered ports if desired.
There are some VoIP providers out there that will not accept SDP
offers with odd numbered UDPTL ports. While it is my personal opinion
that these VoIP providers are misinterpreting RFC 2327, it really is
not a big deal to play along with their silly little games. Of course,
since restricting UDPTL ports to only even numbers reduces the range
of available ports by half, so the option to use only even port numbers
is off by default. A user can enable the behavior by setting
use_even_ports=yes in udptl.conf.

The udptl-updates branch that was merged yesterday failed to properly send back
T.38 SDP responses with the correct error correction mode, if the incoming SDP
from the other end caused us to change error correction modes. This patch
corrects that situation.

Over the past couple of months, a number of issues with Asterisk
negotiating (and successfully completing) T.38 sessions with various
endpoints have been found. This patch attempts to address many of
them, primarily focused around ensuring that the endpoints'
MaxDatagram size is honored, and in addition by ensuring that T.38
session parameter negotiation is performed correctly according to the
ITU T.38 Recommendation.
The major changes here are:
1) T.38 applications in Asterisk (app_fax) only generate/receive IFP
packets, they do not ever work with UDPTL packets. As a result of
this, they cannot be allowed to generate packets that would overflow
the other endpoints' MaxDatagram size after the UDPTL stack adds any
error correction information. With this patch, the application is told
the maximum *IFP* size it can generate, based on a calculation using
the far end MaxDatagram size and the active error correction mode on
the T.38 session. The same is true for sending *our* MaxDatagram size
to the remote endpoint; it is computed from the value that the
application says it can accept (for a single IFP packet) combined with
the active error correction mode.
2) All treatment of T.38 session parameters as 'capabilities' in
chan_sip has been removed; these parameters are not at all like
audio/video stream capabilities. There are strict rules to follow for
computing an answer to a T.38 offer, and chan_sip now follows those
rules, using the desired parameters from the application (or channel)
that wants to accept the T.38 negotiation.
3) chan_sip now stores and forwards ast_control_t38_parameters
structures for tracking 'our' and 'their' T.38 session parameters;
this greatly simplifies negotiation, especially for pass-through
calls.
4) Since T.38 negotiation without specifying parameters or receiving
the final negotiated parameters is not very worthwhile, the
AST_CONTROL_T38 control frame has been removed. A note has been added
to UPGRADE.txt about this removal, since any out-of-tree applications
that use it will no longer function properly until they are upgraded
to use AST_CONTROL_T38_PARAMETERS.

This patch adds 'const' tags to a number of Asterisk APIs where they are appropriate (where the API already demanded that the function argument not be modified, but the compiler was not informed of that fact). The list includes:
- CLI command handlers
- CLI command handler arguments
- AGI command handlers
- AGI command handler arguments
- Dialplan application handler arguments
- Speech engine API function arguments
In addition, various file-scope and function-scope constant arrays got 'const' and/or 'static' qualifiers where they were missing.

when a file is invalid from when a file is missing. This is most important when
we have two configuration files. Consider the following example:
Old system:
sip.conf users.conf Old result New result
======== ========== ========== ==========
Missing Missing SIP doesn't load SIP doesn't load
Missing OK SIP doesn't load SIP doesn't load
Missing Invalid SIP doesn't load SIP doesn't load
OK Missing SIP loads SIP loads
OK OK SIP loads SIP loads
OK Invalid SIP loads incompletely SIP doesn't load
Invalid Missing SIP doesn't load SIP doesn't load
Invalid OK SIP doesn't load SIP doesn't load
Invalid Invalid SIP doesn't load SIP doesn't load
So in the case when users.conf doesn't load because there's a typo that
disrupts the syntax, we may only partially load users, instead of failing with
an error, which may cause some calls not to get processed. Worse yet, the old
system would do this with no indication that anything was even wrong.

- make data member of the ast_frame struct a named union instead of a void
Recently the ast_queue_hangup function got a new parameter, the hangupcause
Feedback came in that this is no good and that instead a new function should be created.
This I did.
The hangupcause was stored in the seqno member of the ast_frame struct. This is not very
elegant, and since there's already a data member that one should be used.
Problem is, this member was a void *.
Now it's a named union so it can hold a pointer, an uint32 and there's a padding in case someone
wants to store another type in there in the future.
This commit is so massive, because all ast_frame.data uses have to be
altered to ast_frame.data.data
Thanks russellb and kpfleming for the feedback.

fix up various compiler warnings found with gcc-4.3:
- the output of flex includes a static function called 'input' that is not used, so for the moment we'll stop having the compiler tell us about unused variables in the flex source files (a better fix would be to improve our flex post-processing to remove the unused function)
- main/stdtime/localtime.c makes assumptions about signed integer overflow, and gcc-4.3's improved optimizer tries to take advantage of handling potential overflow conditions at compile time; for now, suppress these optimizations until we can fiure out if the code needs improvement
- main/udptl.c has some references to uninitialized variables; in one case there was no bug, but in the other it was certainly possibly for unexpected behavior to occur
- main/editline/readline.c had an unused variable

About a year ago, as Leif Madsen and Jim van Meggelen were going over the CLI
commands in Asterisk 1.4 for the next version of their book, they documented
a lot of inconsistencies. This set of changes addresses all of these issues
and has been reviewed by Leif.
While this does introduce even more changes to the CLI command structure, it
makes everything consistent, which is the most important thing.
Thanks to all that helped with this one!

build times - tested, there is no measureable difference before and
after this commit.
In this change:
use asterisk/compat.h to include a small set of system headers:
inttypes.h, unistd.h, stddef.h, stddint.h, sys/types.h, stdarg.h,
stdlib.h, alloca.h, stdio.h
Where available, the inclusion is conditional on HAVE_FOO_H as determined
by autoconf.
Normally, source files should not include any of the above system headers,
and instead use either "asterisk.h" or "asterisk/compat.h" which does it
better.
For the time being I have left alone second-level directories
(main/db1-ast, etc.).

There are some situations in Asterisk where ast_frame and/or iax_frame
structures are rapidly allocatted and freed (at least 50 times per second
for one call).
This code significantly improves the performance of ast_frame_header_new(),
ast_frdup(), ast_frfree(), iax_frame_new(), and iax_frame_free() by keeping
a thread-local cache of these structures and using frames from the cache
whenever possible instead of calling malloc/free every time.
This commit also converts the ast_frame and iax_frame structures to use the
linked list macros.
