Now user data is allocated by the creator of the taskprocessor
listener and that user data is passed into ast_taskprocessor_listener_alloc().
Similarly, freeing of the user data is left up to the user himself. He can
free the data when the taskprocessor shuts down, or he can choose to hold
onto it if it makes sense to do so.
This, unsurprisingly, makes threadpool allocation a LOT cleaner now.

Masquerades are an insane implementation detail within Asterisk. It generates
a number of useless and confusing events, and manipulates channels in a way
that semantically doesn't make sense. I've given a fairly thorough review of
masquerade code and its usage on the wiki at
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/x/IwBRAQ.
While ultimately it makes the most sense to abandon masquerades altogether,
it will take some time to completely irradicate. Even then, there may always
be code that's not worth rewriting to get rid of the masquerade.
This patch does two things to make masquerades slightly less insane:
* When swapping the names of the original and clone channel, only emit a
single rename event of original -> original<ZOMBIE>. The original code
issued three rename events to accomplish the same end.
* In addition to swapping the names of the channels, also swap their
uniqueid's. This allows the 'Uniqueid' field to be used as a stable
identifier for a channel from and external interface, such as AMI.

Fix XML encoding of 'identity display' in NOTIFY messages.
XML encoding in chan_sip is accomplished by naively building the XML
directly from strings. While this usually works, it fails to take into
account escaping the reserved characters in XML.
This patch adds an 'ast_xml_escape' function, which works similarly to
'ast_uri_encode'. This is used to properly escape the local_display
attribute in XML formatted NOTIFY messages.
Several things to note:
* The Right Thing(TM) to do would probably be to replace the
ast_build_string stuff with building an ast_xml_doc. That's a much
bigger change, and out of scope for the original ticket, so I
refrained myself.
* It is with great sadness that I wrote my own ast_xml_escape
function. There's one in libxml2, but it's knee-deep in
libxml2-ness, and not easily used to one-off escape a
string.
* I only escaped the string we know is causing problems
(local_display). At least some of the other strings are
URI-encoded, which should be XML safe. Rather than figuring out
what's safe and escaping what's not, it would be much cleaner to
simply build an ast_xml_doc for the messages and let the XML
library do the XML escaping. Like I said, that's out of scope.

* Jansson provides both reference-stealing and reference-borrowing

reference-stealing for operations that put elements into arrays and

Prevent crashes from occurring when reading from data sources with large values
When reading configuration data from an Asterisk .conf file or when pulling
data from an Asterisk RealTime backend, Asterisk was copying the data on the
stack for manipulation. Unfortunately, it is possible to read configuration
data or realtime data from some data source that provides a large blob of
characters. This could potentially cause a crash via a stack overflow.
This patch prevents large sets of data from being read from an ARA backend or
from an Asterisk conf file.

Prevent exhaustion of system resources through exploitation of event cache
Asterisk maintains an internal cache for devices in the event subsystem. The
device state cache holds the state of each device known to Asterisk, such that
consumers of device state information can query for the last known state for
a particular device, even if it is not part of an active call. The concept of
a device in Asterisk can include entities that do not have a physical
representation. One way that this occurred was when anonymous calls are allowed
in Asterisk. A device was automatically created and stored in the cache for
each anonymous call that occurred; this was possible in the SIP and IAX2
channel drivers and through channel drivers that utilized the
res_jabber/res_xmpp resource modules (Gtalk, Jingle, and Motif). These devices
are never removed from the system, allowing anonymous calls to potentially
exhaust a system's resources.
This patch changes the event cache subsystem and device state management to
no longer cache devices that are not associated with a physical entity.

confbridge: Fix MOH on simultaneous user entry to a new conference.
When two users entered a new conference simultaneously, one of the callers
hears MOH. This happened if two unmarked users entered simultaneously and
also if a waitmarked and a marked user entered simultaneously.
* Created a confbridge internal MOH API to eliminate the inlined MOH
handling code. Note that the conference mixing bridge needs to be locked
when actually starting/stopping MOH because there is a small window
between the conference join unsuspend MOH and actually joining the mixing
bridge.
* Created the concept of suspended MOH so it can be interrupted while
conference join announcements to the user and DTMF features can operate.
* Suspend any MOH until the user is about to actually join the mixing
bridge of the conference. This way any pre-join file playback does not
need to worry about MOH.
* Made post-join actions only play deferred entry announcement files.
Changing the user/conference state during that time is not protected or
controlled by the state machine.

The documentation for taskprocessors was incorrect with
regards to when a listener's alloc callback was called.
I also made the names of queued function calls in the
threadpool more uniform.

Unfortunately, this required a taskprocessor listener change that makes listener allocation
utterly silly. I'm going to change the scheme so that allocation of taskprocessor listeners
is done internally within taskprocessor code. This will make it parallel with threadpool
code, which is a good thing.
git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/mmichelson/threadpool@377687 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

The new thread creation test fails because Asterisk locks up
while trying to lock a taskprocessor.
While trying to debug that, I found a race condition during taskprocessor
creation where a default taskprocessor listener could try to operate on
a partially started taskprocessor. This was fixed by adding a new callback
to taskprocessor listeners.
Then while testing that change, I found some bugs in the taskprocessor
tests where I was not properly unlocking when done with a lock. Scoped
locks have spoiled me a bit.
I still have not figured out why the threadpool thread creation test
is locking up.

After giving it some consideration, there's no real
use for zombie threads. Listeners can't really use the
current number of zombie threads as a way of gauging activity,
zombifying threads is just an extra step before they die that
really serves no purpose, and since there's no way to re-animate
zombies, the operation does not need to be around.
I also fixed up some miscellaneous compilation errors that
were lingering from some past revisions.

Re-initialize logmsgs mutex upon logger initialization to prevent lock errors
Similar to the patch that moved the fork earlier in the startup sequence to
prevent mutex errors in the recursive mutex surrounding the read/write thread
registration lock, this patch re-initializes the logmsgs mutex. Part of the
start up sequence before forking the process into the background includes
reading asterisk.conf; this has to occur prior to the call to daemon in order
to read startup parameters. When reading in a conf file, log statements can
be generated. Since this can't be avoided, the mutex instead is
re-initialized to ensure a reset of any thread tracking information.
This patch also includes some additional debugging to catch errors when
locking or unlocking the recursive mutex that surrounds locks when the
DEBUG_THREADS build option is enabled. DO_CRASH or THREAD_CRASH will
cause an abort() if a mutex error is detected.

This helps account for the fact that it is unknown just
how many references may exist for a given taskprocessor
listener, so simply unreffing it from the taskprocessor
shutdown function is not enough to convey the gravity
of the situation.
By putting in a shutdown callback, it now becomes clear
to the listener not to try to do any further operations
on the taskprocessor.

Migrate hashtest/hashtest2 to be unit tests.
Both hashtest and hashtest2 are manual testing apps that thrash hash
tables (hashtab and ao2 containers, respectively), by spinning up
several threads that randomly insert, delete, lookup and iterate over
the hash table. If the app doesn't crash, the hash table probably passes
the test. Those utils are not a part of the typical Asterisk build, so
they do not usually get compiled. This all makes them less that useful.
This patch removes those manual test programs and replaces them with
Asterisk unit test modules (test_{hashtab,astobj2}_thrash.so). It also
attempts to make the tests more deterministic.
* Rather than spinning up some number of threads that operate on the
hash table randomly, spin up four threads that concurrenly add,
remove, lookup and iterate over the hash table.
* Each thread checks the state of the hash table both during and after
execution, and indicates a test failure if things are not as expected.
* Each thread times out after 60 seconds to prevent deadlocking the unit
test run.

Taskprocessors are now divided into two units: the task queue
and their listeners.
When a task is added to the queue, the listener is notified and
can take whatever action is desired. This means that taskprocessors
are no longer confined to having their tasks executed within a
single thread.
A default taskprocessor listener has been added that mirrors the
old taskprocessor behavior.
I've tested it by running Asterisk and placing calls. It appears
to work as expected. I'm going to do some cleaning up first and
then write some unit tests to be sure everything works as expected.

* When the circular array rotates out a memory block to the heap it checks
that the memory has not been altered from 0xdeaddead.
* Made the astmm_log message wording better.
* Made crash if the DO_CRASH menuselect option is enabled and something is
found.
* Fixed a potential alignment issue on 64 bit systems.
struct ast_region.data[] should now be aligned correctly for all
platforms.
* Extracted region_check_fences() from __ast_free_region() and
handle_memory_show().
* Updated handle_memory_show() CLI usage help.

Fix misuses of timeouts throughout the code.
Prior to this change, a common method for determining if a timeout
was reached was to call a function such as ast_waitfor_n() and inspect
the out parameter that told how many milliseconds were left, then use
that as the input to ast_waitfor_n() on the next go-around.
The problem with this is that in some cases, submillisecond timeouts
can occur, resulting in the out parameter not decreasing any. When this
happens thousands of times, the result is that the timeout takes much
longer than intended to be reached. As an example, I had a situation where
a 3 second timeout took multiple days to finally end since most wakeups
from ast_waitfor_n() were under a millisecond.
This patch seeks to fix this pattern throughout the code. Now we log the
time when an operation began and find the difference in wall clock time
between now and when the event started. This means that sub-millisecond timeouts
now cannot play havoc when trying to determine if something has timed out.
Part of this fix also includes changing the function ast_waitfor() so that it
is possible for it to return less than zero when a negative timeout is given
to it. This makes it actually possible to detect errors in ast_waitfor() when
there is no timeout.
