Matthew Jordan a2c912e997 media formats: re-architect handling of media for performance improvements
In the old times media formats were represented using a bit field. This was
fast but had a few limitations.
 1. Asterisk was limited in how many formats it could handle.
 2. Formats, being a bit field, could not include any attribute information.
    A format was strictly its type, e.g., "this is ulaw".
This was changed in Asterisk 10 (see
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal for
notes on that work) which led to the creation of the ast_format structure.
This structure allowed Asterisk to handle attributes and bundle information
with a format.

Additionally, ast_format_cap was created to act as a container for multiple
formats that, together, formed the capability of some entity. Another
mechanism was added to allow logic to be registered which performed format
attribute negotiation. Everywhere throughout the codebase Asterisk was
changed to use this strategy.

Unfortunately, in software, there is no free lunch. These new capabilities
came at a cost.

Performance analysis and profiling showed that we spend an inordinate
amount of time comparing, copying, and generally manipulating formats and
their related structures. Basic prototyping has shown that a reasonably
large performance improvement could be made in this area. This patch is the
result of that project, which overhauled the media format architecture
and its usage in Asterisk to improve performance.

Generally, the new philosophy for handling formats is as follows:
 * The ast_format structure is reference counted. This removed a large amount
   of the memory allocations and copying that was done in prior versions.
 * In order to prevent race conditions while keeping things performant, the
   ast_format structure is immutable by convention and lock-free. Violate this
   tenet at your peril!
 * Because formats are reference counted, codecs are also reference counted.
   The Asterisk core generally provides built-in codecs and caches the
   ast_format structures created to represent them. Generally, to prevent
   inordinate amounts of module reference bumping, codecs and formats can be
   added at run-time but cannot be removed.
 * All compatibility with the bit field representation of codecs/formats has
   been moved to a compatibility API. The primary user of this representation
   is chan_iax2, which must continue to maintain its bit-field usage of formats
   for interoperability concerns.
 * When a format is negotiated with attributes, or when a format cannot be
   represented by one of the cached formats, a new format object is created or
   cloned from an existing format. That format may have the same codec
   underlying it, but is a different format than a version of the format with
   different attributes or without attributes.
 * While formats are reference counted objects, the reference count maintained
   on the format should be manipulated with care. Formats are generally cached
   and will persist for the lifetime of Asterisk and do not explicitly need
   to have their lifetime modified. An exception to this is when the user of a
   format does not know where the format came from *and* the user may outlive
   the provider of the format. This occurs, for example, when a format is read
   from a channel: the channel may have a format with attributes (hence,
   non-cached) and the user of the format may last longer than the channel (if
   the reference to the channel is released prior to the format's reference).

For more information on this work, see the API design notes:
  https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Format+Rewrite

Finally, this work was the culmination of a large number of developer's
efforts. Extra thanks goes to Corey Farrell, who took on a large amount of the
work in the Asterisk core, chan_sip, and was an invaluable resource in peer
reviews throughout this project.

There were a substantial number of patches contributed during this work; the
following issues/patch names simply reflect some of the work (and will cause
the release scripts to give attribution to the individuals who work on them).

David Vossel d760e81f37 Media Project Phase2: SILK 8khz-24khz, SLINEAR 8khz-192khz, SPEEX 32khz, hd audio ConfBridge, and other stuff
-Functional changes
1. Dynamic global format list build by codecs defined in codecs.conf
2. SILK 8khz, 12khz, 16khz, and 24khz with custom attributes defined in codecs.conf
3. Negotiation of SILK attributes in chan_sip.
4. SPEEX 32khz with translation
5. SLINEAR 8khz, 12khz, 24khz, 32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 96khz, 192khz with translation
   using codec_resample.c
6. Various changes to RTP code required to properly handle the dynamic format list
   and formats with attributes.
7. ConfBridge now dynamically jumps to the best possible sample rate.  This allows
   for conferences to take advantage of HD audio (Which sounds awesome)
8. Audiohooks are no longer limited to 8khz audio, and most effects have been
   updated to take advantage of this such as Volume, DENOISE, PITCH_SHIFT.
9. codec_resample now uses its own code rather than depending on libresample.

-Organizational changes
Global format list is moved from frame.c to format.c
Various format specific functions moved from frame.c to format.c

David Vossel c26c190711 Asterisk media architecture conversion - no more format bitfields
This patch is the foundation of an entire new way of looking at media in Asterisk.
The code present in this patch is everything required to complete phase1 of my
Media Architecture proposal.  For more information about this project visit the link below.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal

The primary function of this patch is to convert all the usages of format
bitfields in Asterisk to use the new format and format_cap APIs.  Functionally
no change in behavior should be present in this patch.  Thanks to twilson
and russell for all the time they spent reviewing these changes.

Russell Bryant 3cf77c4c7f Fix a bunch of places where \arg was used instead of \param. Using \arg
to document arguments seems logical, and does work, but is not the best
thing to use.

\arg in doxygen is simply for creating non-nested unordered lists.  \param is
the correct tag to use to document function parameters, and will come out
better in the generated documentation.

Jeff Peeler a5cdd849e5 This adds DNS SRV record support to DNS manager. If there is a SRV record for a given domain, the hostname and port listed in the SRV record will be used. If no SRV record exists or a SRV lookup is not attempted, the DNS lookup on the specified domain will be performed as normal. Chan_sip has been modified to take advantage of the new SRV support.

Luigi Rizzo fdb7f7ba3d Start untangling header inclusion in a way that does not affect
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.).

Russell Bryant f7e7161607 Merge team/russell/frame_caching
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.
