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 change allows applications that request T.38 negotiation on a channel that
does not support it to get the proper indication that it is not supported, rather
than thinking that negotiation was started when it was not.

It is possible for datastore fixup functions to remove the datastore from the list

I don't yet know of this causing any crashes, it certainly could.

There are various media paths in Asterisk (codec translators and UDPTL, primarily)
that can generate more than one frame to be generated when the application calling
them expects only a single frame. This patch addresses a number of those cases,
at least the primary ones to solve the known problems. In addition it removes the

The function ast_call_forward() forwards a call to an extension specified in an ast_channel's call_forward string. After an ast_channel is called, if the channel's call_forward string is set this function can be used to forward the call to a new channel and terminate the original one. I have included this api call in both channel.c's ast_request_and_dial() and feature.c's feature_request_and_dial(). App_dial and app_queue already contain call forward logic specific for their application and options.

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.

There is a lot that could be said about this, but the patch is a big
improvement for performance, stability, code maintainability,
and ease of future code development.
The channel list is no longer an unsorted linked list. The main container
for channels is an astobj2 hash table. All of the code related to searching
for channels or iterating active channels has been rewritten. Let n be
the number of active channels. Iterating the channel list has gone from
O(n^2) to O(n). Searching for a channel by name went from O(n) to O(1).
Searching for a channel by extension is still O(n), but uses a new method
for doing so, which is more efficient.
The ast_channel object is now a reference counted object. The benefits
here are plentiful. Some benefits directly related to issues in the
previous code include:
1) When threads other than the channel thread owning a channel wanted
access to a channel, it had to hold the lock on it to ensure that it didn't
go away. This is no longer a requirement. Holding a reference is
sufficient.
2) There are places that now require less dealing with channel locks.
3) There are places where channel locks are held for much shorter periods
of time.
4) There are places where dealing with more than one channel at a time becomes
_MUCH_ easier. ChanSpy is a great example of this. Writing code in the
future that deals with multiple channels will be much easier.
Some additional information regarding channel locking and reference count
handling can be found in channel.h, where a new section has been added that
discusses some of the rules associated with it.
Mark Michelson also assisted with the development of this patch. He did the
conversion of ChanSpy and introduced a new API, ast_autochan, which makes it
much easier to deal with holding on to a channel pointer for an extended period
of time and having it get automatically updated if the channel gets masqueraded.
Mark was also a huge help in the code review process.
Thanks to David Vossel for his assistance with this branch, as well. David
did the conversion of the DAHDIScan application by making it become a wrapper
for ChanSpy internally.
The changes come from the svn/asterisk/team/russell/ast_channel_ao2 branch.

The biggest change done here was elimination of the backup_config for use with
features. Previously, the bridging code upon detecting a feature would set the
start time of the bridge to the start time of the feature. Then after the
feature had either expired or timed out the start time would be reset to the
true bridge start time from the backup_config. Now, the time differences are
calculated with respect to the newly added feature_start_time timeval instead.
There should be no behavior changes from the previous functionality aside from
the bridge timing being unaffected by either valid or partial feature matches.
Previously the timing would be increased by the length of time configured for
featuredigittimeout, which was probably never noticed.

Make a couple of changes with regards to a new message printed in ast_read().
"ast_read() called with no recorded file descriptor" is a new message added
after a bug was discovered. Unfortunately, it seems there are a bunch of places
that potentially make such calls to ast_read() and trigger this error message
to be displayed. This commit does two things to help to make this message appear
less.
First, the message has been downgraded to a debug level message if dev mode is
not enabled. The message means a lot more to developers than it does to end users,
and so developers should take an effort to be sure to call ast_read only when
a channel is ready to be read from. However, since this doesn't actually cause an
error in operation and is not something a user can easily fix, we should not spam
their console with these messages.
Second, the message has been moved to after the check for any pending masquerades.
ast_read() being called with no recorded file descriptor should not interfere with
a masquerade taking place.
This could be seen as a simple way of resolving issue #14723. However, I still want
to try to clear out the existing ways of triggering this message, since I feel that
would be a better resolution for the issue.

The ability to load/unload timing interfaces is nice, but it means that when a timer is allocated, it may come from provider A, but later provider B becomes the 'preferred' provider. If this happens, all timer API calls on the timer that was provided by provider A will actually be handed to provider B, which will say WTF and return an error.
This patch changes the timer API to include a pointer to the provider of the timer handle so that future operations on the timer will be forwarded to the proper provider.

Fix cases where the internal poll() was not being used when it needed to be.
We have seen a number of problems caused by poll() not working properly on
Mac OSX. If you search around, you'll find a number of references to using
select() instead of poll() to work around these issues. In Asterisk, we've
had poll.c which implements poll() using select() internally. However, we
were still getting reports of problems.
vadim investigated a bit and realized that at least on his system, even
though we were compiling in poll.o, the system poll() was still being used.
So, the primary purpose of this patch is to ensure that we're using the
internal poll() when we want it to be used.
The changes are:
1) Remove logic for when internal poll should be used from the Makefile.
Instead, put it in the configure script. The logic in the configure
script is the same as it was in the Makefile. Ideally, we would have
a functionality test for the problem, but that's not actually possible,
since we would have to be able to run an application on the _target_
system to test poll() behavior.
2) Always include poll.o in the build, but it will be empty if AST_POLL_COMPAT
is not defined.
3) Change uses of poll() throughout the source tree to ast_poll(). I feel
that it is good practice to give the API call a new name when we are
changing its behavior and not using the system version directly in all cases.
So, normally, ast_poll() is just redefined to poll(). On systems where
AST_POLL_COMPAT is defined, ast_poll() is redefined to ast_internal_poll().
4) Change poll() in main/poll.c to be ast_internal_poll().
It's worth noting that any code that still uses poll() directly will work fine
(if they worked fine before). So, for example, out of tree modules that are
using poll() will not stop working or anything. However, for modules to work
properly on Mac OSX, ast_poll() needs to be used.

ast_answer(), when supplied a delay before returning to the caller, use ast_safe_sleep() to implement the delay. Unfortunately during this time any incoming frames are discarded, which is problematic for T.38 re-INVITES and other sorts of channel operations.
When a delay is not passed to ast_answer(), it still delays for up to 500 milliseconds, waiting for media to arrive. Again, though, it discards any control frames, or non-voice media frames.
This patch rectifies this situation, by storing all incoming frames during the delay period on a list, and then requeuing them onto the channel before returning to the caller.
