For async callbacks it is useful to determine whether a given VTY pointer is still valid.
For example, in osmo-msc, a silent call can be triggered by VTY, which causes a
Paging. The paging_cb then writes to the VTY console that the silent call has
succeeded. Unless the telnet vty session has already ended, in which case
osmo-msc crashes; e.g. from an osmo_interact_vty.py command invocation. With
this function, osmo-msc can ask whether the vty pointer passed to the paging
callback is still active, and skip vty_out() if not.

fi->T values are int, i.e. can be negative. Do not log them as unsigned, but
define a distinct timer class "Xnnnn" for negative T values: i.e. for T == -1,
print "Timeout of X1" instead of "Timeout of T4294967295".
The negative T timer number space is useful to distinguish freely invented
timers from proper 3GPP defined T numbers. So far I was using numbers like
T993210 or T9999 for invented T, but X1, X2 etc. is a better solution. This way
we can make sure to not accidentally define an invented timer number that
actually collides with a proper 3GPP specified timer number that the author was
not aware of at the time of writing.
Add OSMO_T_FMT and OSMO_T_FMT_ARGS() macros as standardized timer number print
format. Use that in fsm.c, tdef_vty.c, and adjust vty tests accordingly.
Mention the two timer classes in various API docs and VTY online-docs.

Move T_def from osmo-bsc to libosmocore as osmo_tdef. Adjust naming to be more
consistent. Upgrade to first class API:
- add timer grouping
- add generic vty support
- add mising API doc
- add C test
- add VTY transcript tests, also as examples for using the API
From osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg() API doc, cross reference to osmo_tdef API.
The root reason for moving to libosmocore is that I want to use the
mgw_endpoint_fsm in osmo-msc for inter-MSC handover, and hence want to move the
FSM to libosmo-mgcp-client. This FSM uses the T_def from osmo-bsc. Though the
mgw_endpoint_fsm's use of T_def is minimal, I intend to use the osmo_tdef API
in osmo-msc (and probably elsewhere) as well. libosmocore is the most sensible
place for this.
osmo_tdef provides:
- a list of Tnnnn (GSM) timers with description, unit and default value.
- vty UI to allow users to configure non-default timeouts.
- API to tie T timers to osmo_fsm states and set them on state transitions.
- a few standard units (minute, second, millisecond) as well as a custom unit
(which relies on the timer's human readable description to indicate the
meaning of the value).
- conversion for standard units: for example, some GSM timers are defined in
minutes, while our FSM definitions need timeouts in seconds. Conversion is
for convenience only and can be easily avoided via the custom unit.
By keeping separate osmo_tdef arrays, several groups of timers can be kept
separately. The VTY tests in tests/tdef/ showcase different schemes:
- tests/vty/tdef_vty_test_config_root.c:
Keep several timer definitions in separately named groups: showcase the
osmo_tdef_vty_groups*() API. Each timer group exists exactly once.
- tests/vty/tdef_vty_test_config_subnode.c:
Keep a single list of timers without separate grouping.
Put this list on a specific subnode below the CONFIG_NODE.
There could be several separate subnodes with timers like this, i.e.
continuing from this example, sets timers could be separated by placing
timers in specific config subnodes instead of using the global group name.
- tests/vty/tdef_vty_test_dynamic.c:
Dynamically allocate timer definitions per each new created object.
Thus there can be an arbitrary number of independent timer definitions, one
per allocated object.
T_def was introduced during the recent osmo-bsc refactoring for inter-BSC
handover, and has proven useful:
- without osmo_tdef, each invocation of osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg() needs to be
programmed with the right timeout value, for all code paths that invoke this
state change. It is a likely source of errors to get one of them wrong. By
defining a T timer exactly for an FSM state, the caller can merely invoke the
state change and trust on the original state definition to apply the correct
timeout.
- it is helpful to have a standardized config file UI to provide user
configurable timeouts, instead of inventing new VTY commands for each
separate application of T timer numbers.

In many callers of the VTY API, we are lacking the vty_install_default() step
at certain node levels. This creates nodes that lack the 'exit' command, and
hence the only way to exit such a node is to restart the telnet session.
Historically, the VTY looked for missing commands on the immediate parent node,
and hence possibly found the parent's 'exit' command when the local node was
missing it. That is why we so far did not notice the missing default commands.
Furthermore, some callers call install_default() instead of
vty_install_default(). Only vty_install_default() also includes the 'exit' and
'end' commands. There is no reason why there are two sets of default commands.
To end this confusion, to catch all missing 'exit' commands and to prevent this
from re-appearing in the future, simply *always* install all default commands
implicitly when calling install_node().
In cmd_init(), there are some top-level nodes that apparently do not want the
default commands installed. Keep those the way they are, by changing the
invocation to new install_node_bare() ({VIEW,AUTH,AUTH_ENABLE}_NODE).
Make both install_default() and vty_install_default() no-ops so that users of
the API may still call them without harm. Do not yet deprecate yet, which
follows in Icf5d83f641e838cebcccc635a043e94ba352abff.
Drop all invocations to these two functions found in libosmocore.

This change introduces a new command, which could be used to
inspect the application's talloc context directly from VTY.
To enable this feature, an application need to provide it's
context via the 'vty_app_info' struct, and register the VTY
command by calling the osmo_talloc_vty_add_cmds().
The new command is a sub-command of 'show':
show talloc-context <context> <depth> [filter]
Currently the following contexts may be inspected:
- application - a context provided by an application;
- null - all contexts, if NULL-context tracking is enabled.
A report depth is defined by the next parameter, and could be:
- full - full tree report, as the talloc_report_full() does;
- brief - brief tree report, as the talloc_report() does;
- DEPTH - user defined maximal report depth.
Also, there are two optional report filters:
- regexp - print only contexts, matching a regular expression;
- tree - print a specific context, pointed by specified address.
The command output is formatted the same way as in case of calling
the talloc_report() or talloc_report_full().

The 'show online-help' produces XML output with <node id="..."> ids. We
reference those from the osmo-gsm-manuals.
Instead of numeric IDs coming from internal code, rather use a human-readable
node ID -- referencing id='config-msc' is much easier than referencing id='23'.
Add a char name[] to struct cmd_node, to hold this name. This may be provided
upon struct definition.
Since callers of the VTY API so far don't have a name yet, we would need to add
names everywhere to get meaningful node IDs. There is a way to get node ID
names without touching dependent code:
My first idea was to find out which command entered the node, i.e. command
'msc' enters the MSC_NODE. But it is impossible to derive which command entered
which node from data structs, it's hidden in the vty command definition.
But in fact all (TM) known API callers indeed provide a prompt string that
contains a logical and human readable string name. Thus, if the name is unset
in the struct, parse the prompt string and strip all "weird" characters to
obtain a node name from that. We can still set names later on, but for now will
have meaningful node IDs (e.g. 'config-msc' from '%s(config-msc)# ') without
touching any dependent code.
When VTY nodes get identical node names, which is quite possible, the XML
export de-dups these by appending _2, _3,... suffixes. The first occurence is
called e.g. 'name', the second 'name_2', then 'name_3', and so forth.
If a node has no name (even after parsing the prompt), it will be named merely
by the suffix. The first empty node will become id='_1', then '_2', '_3', and
so forth. This happens for nodes like VIEW_NODE or AUTH_NODE.
If this is merged, we need to adjust the references in osmo-gsm-manuals.git.
This can happen in our own time though, because we manually create the vty
reference xml and copy it to the osmo-gsm-manuals.git and then update the
references from the vty_additions.xml. This anyway has to happen because
currently the references tend to be hopelessly out of sync anyway, placing
comments at wildly unrelated VTY commands.

Note: This will break users' config files if they do not use consistent
indenting. (see below for a definition of "consistent".)
When reading VTY commands from a file, use indenting as means to implicitly
exit child nodes. Do not look for commands in the parent node implicitly.
The VTY so far implies 'exit' commands if a VTY line cannot be parsed on the
current node, but succeeds on the parent node. That is the mechanism by which
our VTY config files do not need 'exit' at the end of each child node.
We've hit problems with this in the following scenarios, which will show
improved user experience after this patch:
*) When both a parent and its child node have commands with identical names:
cs7 instace 0
point-code 1.2.3
sccp-address osmo-msc
point-code 0.0.1
If I put the parent's command below the child, it is still interpreted in the
context of the child node:
cs7 instace 0
sccp-address osmo-msc
point-code 0.0.1
point-code 1.2.3
Though the indenting lets me assume I am setting the cs7 instance's global PC
to 1.2.3, I'm actually overwriting osmo-msc's PC with 1.2.3 and discarding the
0.0.1.
*) When a software change moves a VTY command from a child to a parent. Say
'timezone' moved from 'bts' to 'network' level:
network
timezone 1 2
Say a user still has an old config file with 'timezone' on the child level:
network
bts 0
timezone 1 2
trx 0
The user would expect an error message that 'timezone' is invalid on the 'bts'
level. Instead, the VTY finds the parent node's 'timezone', steps out of 'bts'
to the 'network' level, and instead says that the 'trx' command does not exist.
Format:
Consistent means that two adjacent indenting lines have the exact
same indenting characters for the common length:
Weird mix if you ask me, but correct and consistent:
ROOT
<space>PARENT
<space><tab><space>CHILD
<space><tab><space><tab><tab>GRANDCHILD
<space><tab><space><tab><tab>GRANDCHILD2
<space>SIBLING
Inconsistent:
ROOT
<space>PARENT
<tab><space>CHILD
<space><space><tab>GRANDCHILD
<space><tab><tab>GRANDCHILD2
<tab>SIBLING
Also, when going back to a parent level, the exact same indenting must be used
as before in that node:
Incorrect:
ROOT
<tab>PARENT
<tab><tab><tab>CHILD
<tab><tab>SIBLING
As not really intended side effect, it is also permitted to indent the entire
file starting from the root level. We could guard against it but there's no
harm:
Correct and consistent:
<tab>ROOT
<tab><tab>PARENT
<tab><tab><tab><tab>CHILD
<tab><tab>SIBLING
Implementation:
Track parent nodes state: whenever a command enters a child node, push a parent
node onto an llist to remember the exact indentation characters used for that
level.
As soon as the first line on a child node is parsed, remember this new
indentation (which must have a longer strlen() than its parent level) to apply
to all remaining child siblings and grandchildren.
If the amount of spaces that indent a following VTY command are less than this
expected indentation, call vty_go_parent() until it matches up.
At any level, if the common length of indentation characters mismatch, abort
parsing in error.
Transitions to child node are spread across VTY implementations and are hard to
change. But transitions to the parent node are all handled by vty_go_parent().
By popping a parent from the list of parents in vty_go_parent(), we can also
detect that a command has changed the node without changing the parent, hence
it must have stepped into a child node, and we can push a parent frame.
The behavior on the interactive telnet VTY remains unchanged.

This may seem like overkill for a mere const char * config item, but it makes
the Control interface VTY commands reusable in any main() scope (inspired by
libosmo-abis' VTY config).
Add API functions ctrl_vty_init() and ctrl_vty_get_bind_addr(), in new files
src/ctrl/control_vty.c and include/osmocom/ctrl/control_vty.h, compiled and/or
installed dependent on ENABLE_VTY.
Using these functions allows configuring a static const char* with the VTY
commands
ctrl
bind A.B.C.D
which callers shall subsequently use to bind the Control interface to a
specific local interface address, by passing the return value of
ctrl_vty_get_bind_addr() to control_interface_setup().
Add CTRL_NODE to enum node_type, "eating" RESERVED4_NODE to heed that comment
on avoiding ABI changes.
Add VTY command
line vty
bind A.B.C.D
The command merely stores the configured IP-address, which can then be used by
the calling main program to set the telnet port of the VTY line. (Commits in
openbsc and osmo-iuh will follow up on this.)
Add function vty_get_bind_addr() to publish the address in the vty.h API.
Add static vty_bind_addr to store.
For allocation/freeing reasons, a NULL address defaults to 127.0.0.1.
BTW, I decided against allowing keywords 'any' and 'localhost' in place of an
actual IP address to make sure a written config is always identical to the
parsed config.
Currently there is only the 'show stats' command which shows all

command for stats reporter.
The new command is

The logging categories are registered by the applications, like
osmo-nitb, during startup. Thus, the VTY have to provide the logging
commands according to the logging categories that the application
has registered.
Before this patch, the VTY contained the logging categories
hardcoded. Thus, any change in the logging categories by the
application would not be shown by the VTY.
So far, this was not a problem because all applications used the
same logging categories. However, according to what Harald told
me, this may be a problem in the future.
This patch resolve the lack of integration between the logging
framework and the VTY by generating the VTY logging commands
from the logging categories registered.
Since this patch changes one function of the libosmocore API,
it follows another patch for the openbsc application to get in
sync with the new function layout.
I have reworked and renamed the functions:
* log_vty_category_string()
* log_vty_level_string()
to provide the new ones that generate the exact output that VTY
requires.
This patch does not release the memory allocated by
talloc_zero_size() to store the VTY strings for the commands
and the description. I found no exit function that can clean
up resources that were allocated.
It is easier to call these two functions from bindings than
wrapping the vty structure and figuring out the alignment of
the enum on all different ABIs.
