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%.

This prevents XML documentation duplication by expanding channel and
bridge snapshot tags into channel and bridge snapshot parameter sets
with a given prefix or defaulting to no prefix. This also prevents
documentation from becoming fractured and out of date by keeping all
variations of the documentation in template form such that it only
needs to be updated once and keeps maintenance to a minimum.

Refactored the AMI events in AOC onto Stasis-Core. The ast_aoc_manager_event
function now publishes a channel snapshot, along with a JSON blob describing
the advice of charge. A "to_ami" handler has also been added that converts
the channel snapshot and AOC event data back into the appropriate data structure
for use with AMI.

Add support-level indications to many more source files.
Since we now have tools that scan through the source tree looking for files
with specific support levels, we need to ensure that every file that is
a component of a 'core' or 'extended' module (or the main Asterisk binary)
is explicitly marked with its support level. This patch adds support-level
indications to many more source files in tree, but avoids adding them to
third-party libraries that are included in the tree and to source files
that don't end up involved in Asterisk itself.

Continue channel opaque-ification by wrapping all of the stringfields.
Eventually, we will restrict what can actually set these variables, but
the purpose for now is to hide the implementation and keep people from
adding code that directly accesses the channel structure. Semantic
changes will follow afterward.

There are many benefits to making the ast_channel an opaque handle, from
increasing maintainability to presenting ways to kill masquerades. This patch
kicks things off by taking things a field at a time, renaming the field to
'__do_not_use_${fieldname}' and then writing setters/getters and converting the
existing code to using them. When all fields are done, we can move ast_channel
to a C file from channel.h and lop off the '__do_not_use_'.
This patch sets up main/channel_interal_api.c to be the only file that actually
accesses the ast_channel's fields directly. The intent would be for any API
functions in channel.c to use the accessor functions. No more monkeying around
with channel internals. We should use our own APIs.
The interesting changes in this patch are the addition of
channel_internal_api.c, the moving of the AST_DATA stuff from channel.c to
channel_internal_api.c (note: the AST_DATA stuff will have to be reworked to
use accessor functions when ast_channel is really opaque), and some re-working
of the way channel iterators/callbacks are handled so as to avoid creating fake
ast_channels on the stack to pass in matching data by directly accessing fields
(since "name" is a stringfield and the fake channel doesn't init the
stringfields, you can't use the ast_channel_name_set() function). I went with
ast_channel_name(chan) for a getter, and ast_channel_name_set(chan, name) for a
setter.
The majority of the grunt-work for this change was done by writing a semantic
patch using Coccinelle ( http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/ ).
