Channels no longer use the Stasis cache for channel snapshots. Instead
they are stored in a hash table in stasis_channels which reduces the
number of Stasis messages created and allows better storage.
As a result the following APIs are no longer available since the stasis
cache is no longer used:
ast_channel_topic_cached()
ast_channel_topic_all_cached()
The ast_channel_cache_all() and ast_channel_cache_by_name() functions
now return an ao2_container of ast_channel_snapshots rather than
a container of stasis_messages therefore you can't (and don't need
to) call stasis_cache functions on it.
The ast_channel_topic_all() function now returns a normal topic not
a cached one so you can't use stasis cache functions on it either.
The ast_channel_snapshot_type() stasis message now has the
ast_channel_snapshot_update structure as it's data. It contains the
last snapshot and the new one.
ast_channel_snapshot_get_latest() still returns the latest snapshot.
The latest snapshot is now stored on the channel itself to eliminate
cache hits when Stasis messages that have the snapshot as a payload
are created.

In all non-pbx modules, AST_MODULE_LOAD_FAILURE has been changed
to AST_MODULE_LOAD_DECLINE. This prevents asterisk from exiting
if a module can't be loaded. If the user wishes to retain the
FAILURE behavior for a specific module, they can use the "require"
or "preload-require" keyword in modules.conf.
A new API was added to logger: ast_is_logger_initialized(). This
allows asterisk.c/check_init() to print to the error log once the
logger subsystem is ready instead of just to stdout. If something
does fail before the logger is initialized, we now print to stderr
instead of stdout.

ASTERISK_REGISTER_FILE no longer has any purpose so this commit removes
all traces of it.
Previously exported symbols removed:
* __ast_register_file
* __ast_unregister_file
* ast_complete_source_filename
This also removes the mtx_prof static variable that was declared when
MTX_PROFILE was enabled. This variable was only used in lock.c so it
is now initialized in that file only.

Fixed a bug that originally would show a negative number of
active calls occuring in Asterisk. A gauge is persistent so
incrementing and decrementing it results in a more consistent
performance. Also changed to the call to StatsD to use
ast_statsd_log_string() so that a "+" could be sent to StatsD.

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

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.

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.

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.

In order to get people familiar with the Stasis message bus, it would
be useful to have something of a tutorial. Since I'm not clever enough
to think of some cool integration we could do with Twitter, I settled
for something that might actually be useful.
This patch adds a res_statsd.so module, which implements a basic
statsd[1] client. Statsd is a very simple statistics gathering server,
which can publish its results to a backend graphing engine, like
Graphite[2]. There are several different Statsd server
implementations[3], so you can pick what works best for your
environment.
The actual example of how to use the Stasis message bus is in
res_chan_stats.so. This module demonstrates how to use subscriptions
and the message router by monitoring messages and posting channels
stats to the statsd server.
A wiki page walking through res_chan_stats.so is forthcoming.
