Core bridging and, more specifically, bridge_softmix have been
enhanced to relay received frames of type TEXT or TEXT_DATA to all
participants in a softmix bridge. res_pjsip_messaging and
chan_pjsip have been enhanced to take advantage of this so when
res_pjsip_messaging receives an in-dialog MESSAGE message from a
user in a conference call, it's relayed to all other participants
in the call.
res_pjsip_messaging already queues TEXT frames to the channel when
it receives an in-dialog MESSAGE from an endpoint and chan_pjsip
will send an MESSAGE when it gets a TEXT frame. On a normal
point-to-point call, the frames are forwarded between the two
correctly. bridge_softmix was not though so messages weren't
getting forwarded to conference bridge participants. Even if they
were, the bridging code had no way to tell the participants who
sent the message so it would look like it came from the bridge
itself.
* The TEXT frame type doesn't allow storage of any meta data, such
as sender, on the frame so a new TEXT_DATA frame type was added that
uses the new ast_msg_data structure as its payload. A channel
driver can queue a frame of that type when it receives a message
from outside. A channel driver can use it for sending messages
by implementing the new send_text_data channel tech callback and
setting the new AST_CHAN_TP_SEND_TEXT_DATA flag in its tech
properties. If set, the bridging/channel core will use it instead
of the original send_text callback and it will get the ast_msg_data
structure. Channel drivers aren't required to implement this. Even
if a TEXT_DATA enabled driver uses it for incoming messages, an
outgoing channel driver that doesn't will still have it's send_text
callback called with only the message text just as before.
* res_pjsip_messaging now creates a TEXT_DATA frame for incoming
in-dialog messages and sets the "from" to the display name in the
"From" header, or if that's empty, the caller id name from the
channel. This allows the chat client user to set a friendly name
for the chat.
* bridge_softmix now forwards TEXT and TEXT_DATA frames to all
participants (except the sender).
* A new function "ast_sendtext_data" was added to channel which
takes an ast_msg_data structure and calls a channel's
send_text_data callback, or if that's not defined, the original
send_text callback.
* bridge_channel now calls ast_sendtext_data for TEXT_DATA frame
types and ast_sendtext for TEXT frame types.
* chan_pjsip now uses the "from" name in the ast_msg_data structure
(if it exists) to set the "From" header display name on outgoing text
messages.

This patch clears the talking flag from the channel (if already set), and
notifies listeners when that channel is put on hold. Note however, if the
endpoint continues to send audio frames and these are received by the bridge
then that channel will be put back into a "talking" state even though they
are on hold.

Currently in app_confbridge if someone mutes a channel while that channel
is talking, the talk detection code is suspended while the channel is
muted. As far an an external observer is concerned, the muted channel's
talk status is still "talking" even though the channel is not contributing
audio to the conference bridge. When the channel is later unmuted, it
takes the usual 'dsp_silence_threshold' option time to clear the talking
status even though the channel may have stopped talking while the channel
was muted.
* In bridge_softmix.c, clear the talking status and report talking stopped
if the channel was talking when the channel is muted. When the channel is
unmuted and the channel is still talking then report the channel as
talking since it is contributing audio to the bridge again.

Some codecs - codec_speex specifically - take voice frames and return
other types of frames, like CNG. If we subsequently treat those as
voice frames, we'll run into trouble when destroying the frame because
of the requirement that each voice frame have an associated format.

WebRTC clients really, really want to know the SSRC of the media they're
getting. Changing the SSRC is generally not a good thing.
bridge_softmix, starting in Asterisk 12, started changing the SSRC of
parties as they joined or left the bridge. With most phones, this isn't
a problem: phones just play back the stream they're getting. With WebRTC
clients, however, the SSRC is tied to a media stream that may be
negotiated. When a new SSRC just shows up, the media can be dropped.
As it turns out, the SSRC change shouldn't even be necessary. From the
perspective of the client, it's still talking to Asterisk with the same
media stream: why indicate that the far party has suddenly changed to a
different source of media?
This patch opts to just remove the SSRC changes. With this patch, video
clients that join/leave a softmix bridge actually get the video stream
instead of freaking out.

softmix_bridge_join() failed because of an allocation failure. To address
this, the softmix bridge technology now checks if the channel failed to
join softmix successfully. In addition, the bridge now begins the process
of kicking the channel out of the bridge so we don't have channels
partially in the bridge for very long.
* Fix the test_channel_feature_hooks.c unit tests. The test channel must
have a valid codec to join the simple_bridge technology. This patch makes
joining a bridge more strict by not allowing partially joined channels to
remain in the bridge.

With this patch, chan_pjsip/res_pjsip now sets the native formats to the
codecs negotiated by a call.
* The changes in chan_pjsip.c and res_pjsip_sdp_rtp.c set the native
formats to include all the negotiated audio codecs instead of only the
initial preferred audio codec and later the currently received audio
codec.
* The audio frame handling in channel.c:ast_read() is more streamlined and
will automatically adjust to changes in received frame formats. The new
policy is to remove translation and pass the new frame format to the
receiver except if the translation was to a signed linear format. A more
long winded version is commented in ast_read() along with some caveats.
* The audio frame handling in channel.c:ast_write() is more streamlined
and will automatically adjust any needed translation to changes in the
frame formats sent. Frame formats sent can change for many reasons such
as a recording is being played back or the bridged peer changed the format
it sends. Since it is a normal expectation that sent formats can change,
the codec mismatch warning message is demoted to a debug message.
* Removed the short circuit check in
channel.c:ast_channel_make_compatible_helper(). Two party bridges need to
make channels compatible with each other. However, transfers and moving
channels among bridges can result in otherwise compatible channels having
sub-optimal translation paths if the make compatible check is short
circuited. A result of forcing the reevaluation of channel compatibility
is that the asterisk.conf:transcode_via_slin and codecs.conf:genericplc
options take effect consistently now. It is unfortunate that these two
options are enabled by default and negate some of the benefits to the
changes in channel.c:ast_read() by forcing translation through signed
linear on a two party bridge.
* Improved the softmix bridge technology to better control the translation
of frames to the bridge. All of the incoming translation is now normally
handled by ast_read() instead of splitting any translation steps between
ast_read() and the slin factory. If any frame comes in with an unexpected
format then the translation path in ast_read() is updated for the next
frame and the slin factory handles the current frame translation.
This is the final patch in a series of patches aimed at improving
translation path choices. The other patches are on the following reviews:

When a channel enters the bridging system it is first made compatible with
the bridge and then the bridge technology makes the channel compatible
with the technology. For all but the DAHDI native and softmix bridge
technologies the make channel compatible with the bridge step is an
effective noop because the other technologies allow all audio formats.
For the DAHDI native bridge technology it doesn't matter because it is not
an initial bridge technology and chan_dahdi allows only one native format
per channel. For the softmix bridge technology, it is a noop at best and
harmful at worst because the wrong translation path could be setup if the
channel's native formats allow more than one audio format.
This is an intermediate patch for a series of patches aimed at improving
translation path choices.

When more than one call using the same codec type enters into a softmix bridge
and no audio is present for a channel the bridge optimizes the out frame by
using the same one for all channels with the same codec type. Unfortunately,
when that number (channels with same codec type) dropped to <= 1 the codec
was not dereferenced. At least not until all parties left the bridge. Thus in
the case of G.729 the license was not released. This patch ensures that the
codec is dereferenced immediately when the optimization no longer applies.

Playing back a file to a channel in an ARI bridge would attempt to wait until
the playback concluded before returning. The method used involved signaling the
waiting thread in the ARI custom playback function.
The problem with this is that there were some corner cases that were not accounted for:
* If a bridge channel could not be found, then we never would attempt the playback but
would still attempt to wait for the playback to complete.
* If the bridge playfile action failed to queue, we would still attempt to wait for the
playback to complete.
* If the bridge playfile action were queued but some circumstance caused the playback
not to occur (the bridge dies, the channel is removed from the bridge), then we would
never be notified.
The solution to this is to move the waiting logic into the bridge code. A new bridge
API function is added to queue a synchronous action on a bridge. The waiting thread
is notified when the queued frame has been freed, either due to an error occurring
or due to successful playback. As a failsafe, the waiting thread has a 10 minute
timeout just in case there is a frame leak somewhere.

The crash is caused by a race condition when switching between native RTP
and softmix bridging technologies. In this situation, the bridging
technology is switched from native RTP to softmix, and then back to native
RTP fast enough that the softmix private data gets destroyed before the
softmix mixing thread gets started.
Thanks to Kinsey Moore for the crash analysis.

Channel snapshots have string representations of the channel's native formats.
Prior to this change, the format strings were re-created on ever channel snapshot
creation. Since channel native formats rarely change, this was very wasteful.
Now, string representations of formats may optionally be stored on the ast_format_cap
for cases where string representations may be requested frequently. When formats
are altered, the string cache is marked as invalid. When strings are requested, the
cache validity is checked. If the cache is valid, then the cached strings are copied.
If the cache is invalid, then the string cache is rebuilt and copied, and the cache
is marked as being valid again.

This patch renames the bridging* files to bridge*. This may seem pedantic
and silly, but it fits better in line with current Asterisk naming conventions:
* channel is not "channeling"
* monitor is not "monitoring"
etc.
A bridge is an object. It is a first class citizen in Asterisk. "Bridging" is
the act of using a bridge on a set of channels - and the API that fulfills that
role is more than just the action.

Created a native_dahdi bridging technology for use with the new bridging
API.
The new bridging technology is part of the chan_dahdi channel driver
because it is very specific to that driver. Rather than include the new
code directly into chan_dahdi.c the new bridge technology is in its own
file and linked into chan_dahdi.so. A large part of this change is the
mechanical process of moving declarations around so chan_dahdi.c can be
split up into more files later.
* Changed the bridging core to pass NULL frames into the channel
technologies instead of discarding them. The channel technologies may
need the proding to determine if their configuration is still valid.

A three party bridge uses the softmix bridging technology. This
technology has a dedicated thread used to perform the analog mixing. When
one of these parties leaves the bridge, the bridge technology is changed
from the softmix technology to a two-party mixing technology. Changing
technologies is done by removing channels from the old technology and
adding them to the new technology. Since the remaining channels do not
leave the bridge, the softmix mixing thread could continue to process all
channels in the bridge. If the bridge code is not able to start
destruction of the softmix technology before the softmix mixing thread
wakes up, a crash happens.
* Added a stop technology callback that technologies can use to request
any helper threads to stop in preparation for being destroyed.

Currently, if an acknowledgement of a timer fails Asterisk will not realize
that a serious error occurred and will continue attempting to use the timer's
file descriptor. This can lead to situations where errors stream to the
CLI/log file. This consumes significant resources, masks the actual problem
that occurred (whatever caused the timer to fail in the first place), and
can leave channels in odd states.
This patch propagates the errors in the timing resource modules up through
the timer core, and makes users of these timers handle acknowledgement
failures. It also adds some defensive coding around the use of timers
to prevent using bad file descriptors in off nominal code paths.
Note that the patch created by the issue reporter was modified slightly for
this commit and backported to 1.8, as it was originally written for
Asterisk 10.

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.
