Stasis message types are global ao2 objects and we make stasis messages
and cache entries hold references to them. Since there are currently
situations where cache objects are never deleted, the reference count on
the types can exceed 100000 and generate a FRACK assertion message. The
stasis message cache could conceivably also have that many messages
legitimately on large systems.
The only down side to not holding the message type ref in the stasis
message is it only makes a crash either at shutdown or when manually
unloading a busy module slightly more likely. However, this is more
exposing a pre-existing stasis shutdown ordering issue than a problem with
not holding a message type ref in stasis messages.
* Made stasis messages and cache entries no longer hold a ref to the
message type.

The stasis cache provides a way to reconstruct the current state
of topic subscribers. Unfortunately, since every subscribe and
unsubscribe is cached, the cache continues to grow unabated while
asterisk is running. This patch removes subscribe messages from
the cache when the corresponding unsubscribe is received.
This patch also registers the cache containers with ao2 so that if
AO2_DEBUG is turned on, you can list the container and get its
stats from the CLI.

When the stasis cache is used a hash is calculated for
retrieving or inserting messages. This change calculates
a hash when the message type is initialized that is then
used each time needed. This ensures that the hash is
calculated only once for the message type.

This patch demotes the ERROR message that is displayed when a
nonexistent item is removed from the Stasis cache. The genesis of this
demotion is due to chan_sip's realtime peers and their interaction with
Asterisk's core ast_endpoint code, but ostensibly it could happen from
other channel drivers as well.
Since Mark Michelson already did an excellent job of explaining on this
issue, it is quoted here for posterity:
"Internally, when a realtime peer is retrieved, Asterisk creates an
ast_endpoint structure. When that peer is destroyed, the ast_endpoint is
destroyed as well. Part of the destruction of the ast_endpoint involves
clearing the Stasis cache of all information about that endpoint. The
problem here is that the act of creating the ast_endpoint is not enough
to actually put any information in the Stasis cache. Instead, something
has to happen, such as a state change, in order for the Stasis cache to
have any information about that endpoint. When a device registers,
chan_sip creates an ast_endpoint structure, processes the REGISTER, and
then destroys the ast_endpoint. When the ast_endpoint is destroyed,
there is nothing to destroy in the Stasis cache, so an error message is
emitted. When you use rtcachefriends, ast_endpoint structures persist
for the lifetime of the module and so you do not see this error
message."

Git does not support the ability to replace a token with a version
string during check-in. While it does have support for replacing a
token on clone, this is somewhat sub-optimal: the token is replaced
with the object hash, which is not particularly easy for human
consumption. What's more, in practice, the source file version was often
not terribly useful. Generally, when triaging bugs, the overall version
of Asterisk is far more useful than an individual SVN version of a file. As a
result, this patch removes Asterisk's support for showing source file
versions.
Specifically, it does the following:
* Rename ASTERISK_FILE_VERSION macro to ASTERISK_REGISTER_FILE, and
remove passing the version in with the macro. Other facilities
than 'core show file version' make use of the file names, such as
setting a debug level only on a specific file. As such, the act of
registering source files with the Asterisk core still has use. The
macro rename now reflects the new macro purpose.
* main/asterisk:
- Refactor the file_version structure to reflect that it no longer
tracks a version field.
- Remove the "core show file version" CLI command. Without the file
version, it is no longer useful.
- Remove the ast_file_version_find function. The file version is no
longer tracked.
- Rename ast_register_file_version/ast_unregister_file_version to
ast_register_file/ast_unregister_file, respectively.
* main/manager: Remove value from the Version key of the ModuleCheck
Action. The actual key itself has not been removed, as doing so would
absolutely constitute a backwards incompatible change. However, since
the file version is no longer tracked, there is no need to attempt to
include it in the Version key.
* UPGRADE: Add notes for:
- Modification to the ModuleCheck AMI Action
- Removal of the "core show file version" CLI command

Prior to this patch, all Stasis subscriptions would receive a dedicated
thread for servicing published messages. In contrast, prior to r400178
(see review https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/2881/), the subscriptions
shared a thread pool. It was discovered during some initial work on Stasis
that, for a low subscription count with high message throughput, the
threadpool was not as performant as simply having a dedicated thread per
subscriber.
For situations where a subscriber receives a substantial number of messages
and is always present, the model of having a dedicated thread per subscriber
makes sense. While we still have plenty of subscriptions that would follow
this model, e.g., AMI, CDRs, CEL, etc., there are plenty that also fall into
the following two categories:
* Large number of subscriptions, specifically those tied to endpoints/peers.
* Low number of messages. Some subscriptions exist specifically to coordinate
a single message - the subscription is created, a message is published, the
delivery is synchronized, and the subscription is destroyed.
In both of the latter two cases, creating a dedicated thread is wasteful (and
in the case of a large number of peers/endpoints, harmful). In those cases,
having shared delivery threads is far more performant.
This patch adds the ability of a subscriber to Stasis to choose whether or not
their messages are dispatched on a dedicated thread or on a threadpool. The
threadpool is configurable through stasis.conf.

chosen message types from being created which ensures that those
message types can never be published. This patch also adjusts message

During some performance testing of Asterisk with AGI, ARI, and lots of Local
channels, we noticed that there's quite a hit in performance during channel
creation and releasing to the dialplan (ARI continue). After investigating
the performance spike that occurs during channel creation, we discovered
that we create a lot of channel snapshots that are technically unnecessary.
This includes creating snapshots during:
* AGI execution
* Returning objects for ARI commands
* During some Local channel operations
* During some dialling operations
* During variable setting
* During some bridging operations
And more.
This patch does the following:
- It removes a number of fields from channel snapshots. These fields were
rarely used, were expensive to have on the snapshot, and hurt performance.
This included formats, translation paths, Log Call ID, callgroup, pickup
group, and all channel variables. As a result, AMI Status,
"core show channel", "core show channelvar", and "pjsip show channel" were
modified to either hit the live channel or not show certain pieces of data.
While this is unfortunate, the performance gain from this patch is worth
the loss in behaviour.
- It adds a mechanism to publish a cached snapshot + blob. A large number of
publications were changed to use this, including:
- During Dial begin
- During Variable assignment (if no AMI variables are emitted - if AMI
variables are set, we have to make snapshots when a variable is changed)
- During channel pickup
- When a channel is put on hold/unhold
- When a DTMF digit is begun/ended
- When creating a bridge snapshot
- When an AOC event is raised
- During Local channel optimization/Local bridging
- When endpoint snapshots are generated
- All AGI events
- All ARI responses that return a channel
- Events in the AgentPool, MeetMe, and some in Queue
- Additionally, some extraneous channel snapshots were being made that were
unnecessary. These were removed.
- The result of ast_hashtab_hash_string is now cached in stasis_cache. This
reduces a large number of calls to ast_hashtab_hash_string, which reduced
the amount of time spent in this function in gprof by around 50%.

A stasis cache entry now contains more than a single message/snapshot. It
contains messages/snapshots for the local entity as well as any remote
entities that post to the cached item. In addition callbacks can be
supplied when the cache is created to compute and post the aggregate
message/snapshot representing all entities stored in the cache entry.
* All stasis messages now have an eid to indicate what entity posted it.
* The stasis cache enhancements allow device state to cache and aggregate
the device states from local and remote entities in a single operation.
The cached aggregate device state is available immediately after it is
posted to the stasis bus. This improves performance by eliminating a
cache dump and associated ao2 container traversals to calculate the
aggregate state.

Stasis performance improvements
This patch addresses several performance problems that were found in
the initial performance testing of Asterisk 12.
The Stasis dispatch object was allocated as an AO2 object, even though
it has a very confined lifecycle. This was replaced with a straight
ast_malloc().
The Stasis message router was spending an inordinate amount of time
searching hash tables. In this case, most of our routers had 6 or
fewer routes in them to begin with. This was replaced with an array
that's searched linearly for the route.
We more heavily rely on AO2 objects in Asterisk 12, and the memset()
in ao2_ref() actually became noticeable on the profile. This was
#ifdef'ed to only run when AO2_DEBUG was enabled.
After being misled by an erroneous comment in taskprocessor.c during
profiling, the wrong comment was removed.

Taskprocessor optimization; switch Stasis to use taskprocessors
This patch optimizes taskprocessor to use a semaphore for signaling,
which the OS can do a better job at managing contention and waiting
that we can with a mutex and condition.
The taskprocessor execution was also slightly optimized to reduce the
number of locks taken.
The only observable difference in the taskprocessor implementation is
that when the final reference to the taskprocessor goes away, it will
execute all tasks to completion instead of discarding the unexecuted
tasks.
For systems where unnamed semaphores are not supported, a really
simple semaphore implementation is provided. (Which gives identical
performance as the original taskprocessor implementation).
The way we ended up implementing Stasis caused the threadpool to be a
burden instead of a boost to performance. This was switched to just
use taskprocessors directly for subscriptions.

Optimize how Stasis forwards are dispatched
This patch optimizes how forwards are dispatched in Stasis.
Originally, forwards were dispatched as subscriptions that are invoked
on the publishing thread. This did not account for the vast number of
forwards we would end up having in the system, and the amount of work it
would take to walk though the forward subscriptions.
This patch modifies Stasis so that rather than walking the tree of
forwards on every dispatch, when forwards and subscriptions are changed,
the subscriber list for every topic in the tree is changed.
This has a couple of benefits. First, this reduces the workload of
dispatching messages. It also reduces contention when dispatching to
different topics that happen to forward to the same aggregation topic
(as happens with all of the channel, bridge and endpoint topics).
Since forwards are no longer subscriptions, the bulk of this patch is
simply changing stasis_subscription objects to stasis_forward objects
(which, admittedly, I should have done in the first place.)
Since this required me to yet again put in a growing array, I finally
abstracted that out into a set of ast_vector macros in
asterisk/vector.h.

Remove dispatch object allocation from Stasis publishing
While looking for areas for performance improvement, I realized that an
unused feature in Stasis was negatively impacting performance.
When a message is sent to a subscriber, a dispatch object is allocated
for the dispatch, containing the topic the message was published to, the
subscriber the message is being sent to, and the message itself.
The topic is actually unused by any subscriber in Asterisk today. And
the subscriber is associated with the taskprocessor the message is being
dispatched to.
First, this patch removes the unused topic parameter from Stasis
subscription callbacks.
Second, this patch introduces the concept of taskprocessor local data,
data that may be set on a taskprocessor and provided along with the data
pointer when a task is pushed using the ast_taskprocessor_push_local()
call. This allows the task to have both data specific to that
taskprocessor, in addition to data specific to that invocation.
With those two changes, the dispatch object can be removed completely,
and the message is simply refcounted and sent directly to the
taskprocessor.

Change r395954 reordered some stasis object destruction, which should
have been fine. Unfortunately, it caused some hard to reproduce issues
related to objects being accessed after they had been destroyed. The
patch in r396329 fixed the destruction order problem; this patch
addresses the underlying issue. A few other stasis-related fixes were
also added.
* Add ref-bumps around areas where objects may get transitively
destroyed. (For example, where we lock a topic, unref a subscription,
which unrefs the topic, which explodes the topic when we try to
unlock it.)
* Wrote an extensive doxygen page about Stasis implementation,
relationships between objects, lifecycles of objects, how the
refcounting works, etc. Many other comments were added, corrected, or
cleaned up.
* Added an assert to the topic dtor to catch extra ref decrements.
* Fixed type used after destruction errors for graceful shutdown in
stasis_channels.c.
* I added two unit tests in an attempt to catch destruction order
issues. Since the underlying cause is a race condition, though, the
tests rarely failed even when the code was wrong.
* Fixed a leak in stasis_cache_pattern.c.

The Stasis changes in r395954 had an unanticipated side effect: messages
published directly to an _all topic does not get forwarded to the
corresponding caching topic.
This patch fixes that by changing how caching topics forward messages,
and how the caching pattern forwards are setup.
For the caching pattern, the all_topic is forwarded to the
all_topic_cached. This forwards messages published directly to the
all_topic to all_topic_cached.
In order to avoid duplicate messages on all_topic_cached, caching topics
were changed to no longer forward uncached messages. Subscribers to an
individual caching topic should only expect to receive cache updates,
and subscription change messages. Since individual caching topics are
new, this shouldn't be a problem.
There are a few minor changes to the pre-cache split behavior.
* For topics changed to use the caching pattern, the all_topic_cached
will forward snapshots in addition to cache updates. Since
subscribers by design ignore unexpected messages, this should be
fine.
* Caching topics that don't use the caching pattern no longer forward
non-cache updates. This makes no difference for the current caching
topics.
* mwi_topic_cached, channel_by_name_topic and
presence_state_topic_cached have no subscribers
* device_state_topic_cached's only subscriber only processes cache

In working with res_stasis, I discovered a significant limitation to
the current structure of stasis_caching_topics: you cannot subscribe
to cache updates for a single channel/bridge/endpoint/etc.
To address this, this patch splits the cache away from the
stasis_caching_topic, making it a first class object. The stasis_cache
object is shared amongst individual stasis_caching_topics that are
created per channel/endpoint/etc. These are still forwarded to global
whatever_all_cached topics, so their use from most of the code does
not change.
In making these changes, I noticed that we frequently used a similar
pattern for bridges, endpoints and channels:
single_topic ----------------> all_topic
^
|
single_topic_cached ----+----> all_topic_cached
|
+----> cache
This pattern was extracted as the 'Stasis Caching Pattern', defined in
stasis_caching_pattern.h. This avoids a lot of duplicate code between
the different domain objects.
Since the cache is now disassociated from its upstream caching topics,
this also necessitated a change to how the 'guaranteed' flag worked
for retrieving from a cache. The code for handling the caching
guarantee was extracted into a 'stasis_topic_wait' function, which
works for any stasis_topic.

The recent changes to update stasis_cache_topics directly from the
publisher thread uncovered a race condition, which was causing asserts
in the /stasis/core tests.
If the caching topic's subscription is the last reference to the
caching topic, it will destroy the caching topic after the final
message has been processed. When dispatching to a different thread,
this usually gave the unsubscribe enough time to finish before
destruction happened. Now, however, it consistently destroys before
unsubscription is complete.
This patch adds an extra reference to the caching topic, to hold it
for the duration of the unsubscription.
This patch also removes an extra unref that was happening when the
final message was received by the caching topic. It was put there
because of an extra ref that was put into the caching topic's
constructor. Both have been removed, which makes the destructor a bit
less confusing.

This patch is the initial push to update Asterisk's CDR engine for the new
bridging framework. This patch guts the existing CDR engine and builds the new
on top of messages coming across Stasis. As changes in channel state and bridge
state are detected, CDRs are built and dispatched accordingly. This
fundamentally changes CDRs in a few ways.
(1) CDRs are now *very* reflective of the actual state of channels and bridges.
This means CDRs track well with what an actual channel is doing - which
is useful in transfer scenarios (which were previously difficult to pin
down). It does, however, mean that CDRs cannot be 'fooled'. Previous
behavior in Asterisk allowed for CDR applications, channels, and other
properties to be spoofed in parts of the code - this no longer works.
(2) CDRs have defined behavior in multi-party scenarios. This behavior will not
be what everyone wants, but it is a defined behavior and as such, it is
predictable.
(3) The CDR manipulation functions and applications have been overhauled. Major
changes have been made to ResetCDR and ForkCDR in particular. Many of the
options for these two applications no longer made any sense with the new
framework and the (slightly) more immutable nature of CDRs.
There are a plethora of other changes. For a full description of CDR behavior,
see the CDR specification on the Asterisk wiki.

Stasis cache clear message payloads now consist of a stasis_message
representative of the message to be cleared from the cache. This allows
multiple parallel caches to coexist and be cleared properly by the same
cache clear message even when keyed on different fields.
This change fixes a bug where multiple cache clears could be posted for
channels. The cache clear is now produced in the destructor instead of
ast_hangup.
Additionally, dummy channels are no longer capable of producing channel
snapshots.

This patch addresses issues during immediate shutdowns, where modules
are not unloaded, but Asterisk atexit handlers are run.
In the typical case, this usually isn't a big deal. But the
introduction of the Stasis message bus makes it much more likely for
asynchronous activity to be happening off in some thread during
shutdown.
During an immediate shutdown, Asterisk skips unloading modules. But
while it is processing the atexit handlers, there is a window of time
where some of the core message types have been cleaned up, but the
message bus is still running. Specifically, it's still running
module subscriptions that might be using the core message types. If a
message is received by that subscription in that window, it will
attempt to use a message type that has been cleaned up.
To solve this problem, this patch introduces ast_register_cleanup().
This function operates identically to ast_register_atexit(), except
that cleanup calls are not invoked on an immediate shutdown. All of
the core message type and topic cleanup was moved from atexit handlers
to cleanup handlers.
This ensures that core type and topic cleanup only happens if the
modules that used them are first unloaded.
This patch also changes the ast_assert() when accessing a cleaned up
or uninitialized message type to an error log message. Message type
functions are actually NULL safe across the board, so the assert was a
bit heavy handed. Especially for anyone with DO_CRASH enabled.

In r388005, macros were introduced to consistently define message
types. This added an assert if a message type was used either before
it was initialized or after it had been cleaned up. It turns out that
this assertion fires during shutdown.
This actually exposed a hidden shutdown ordering problem. Since
unsubscribing is asynchronous, it's possible that the message types
used by the subscription could be freed before the final message of
the subscription was processed.
This patch adds stasis_subscription_join(), which blocks until the
last message has been processed by the subscription. Since joining was
most commonly done right after an unsubscribe, a
stasis_unsubscribe_and_join() convenience function was also added.
Similar functions were also added to the stasis_caching_topic and
stasis_message_router, since they wrap subscriptions and have similar
problems.
Other code in trunk was refactored to join() where appropriate, or at
least verify that the subscription was complete before being
destroyed.

An endpoint is an external device/system that may offer/accept
channels to/from Asterisk. While this is a very useful concept for end
users, it is surprisingly not a core concept within Asterisk itself.
This patch defines ast_endpoint as a separate object, which channel
drivers may use to expose their concept of an endpoint. As the channel
driver creates channels, it can use ast_endpoint_add_channel() to
associate channels to the endpoint. This updated the endpoint
appropriately, and forwards all of the channel's events to the
endpoint's topic.
In order to avoid excessive locking on the endpoint object itself, the
mutable state is not accessible via getters. Instead, you can create a
snapshot using ast_endpoint_snapshot_create() to get a consistent
snapshot of the internal state.
This patch also includes a set of topics and messages associated with
endpoints, and implementations of the endpoint-related RESTful
API. chan_sip was updated to create endpoints with SIP peers, but the
state of the endpoints is not updated with the state of the peer.
Along for the ride in this patch is a Stasis test API. This is a
stasis_message_sink object, which can be subscribed to a Stasis
topic. It has functions for blocking while waiting for conditions in
the message sink to be fulfilled.

Often times, when subscribing to a topic, one wants to handle
different message types differently. While one could cascade if/else
statements through the subscription handler, it is much cleaner to
specify a different callback for each message type. The
stasis_message_router is here to help!
A stasis_message_router is constructed for a particular stasis_topic,
which is subscribes to. Call stasis_message_router_unsubscribe() to
cancel that subscription.
Once constructed, routes can be added using
stasis_message_router_add() (or stasis_message_router_set_default()
for any messages not handled by other routes). There may be only one
route per stasis_message_type. The route's callback is invoked just as
if it were a callback for a subscription; but it only gets called for
messages of the specified type.

Unsubscribing things in Asterisk seems to very commonly follow with
NULLing out the variable that was unsubscribed. This change makes that
a bit simpler.

The cache dump mechanism allows the developer to retreive multiple
items of a given type (or of all types) from the cache residing in a
stasis caching topic in addition to the existing single-item cache
retreival mechanism. This also adds to the caching unit tests to
ensure that the new cache dump mechanism is functioning properly.

For the initial use of this bus, I took some work kmoore did creating
channel snapshots. So rather than create AMI events directly in the
channel code, this patch generates Stasis events, which manager.c uses
to then publish the AMI event.
This message bus provides a generic publish/subscribe mechanism within
Asterisk. This message bus is:
- Loosely coupled; new message types can be added in seperate modules.
- Easy to use; publishing and subscribing are straightforward
operations.
In addition to basic publish/subscribe, the patch also provides
mechanisms for message forwarding, and for message caching.
