This document specifies the timing modules available in Asterisk beginning
with Asterisk 1.6.1. The document goes into detail about the differences
between each and gives a general overview of what timing is used for in
Asterisk. There is also a section which can be used to help customize
your setup or to troubleshoot timing issues you may have.
I also added messages to the DAHDI timing test used in res_timing_dahdi.c
that points to this new documentation if people experience problems.
Big thanks to all who contributed comments on this.

This patch fixes a regression of sorts that was introduced in
rev 24425.
It basically fixes AST-190/ABE-1782.
What was wrong: the user has 6000 extensions in one context; and
then 6000 contexts, one per extension. The parser could only handle
about 4893 of the 6000 extens in the single context.
This was due to the regression I mentioned. To get rid of
shift/reduce conflicts, Luigi set up right-recursive lists
for globals, context elements, switch lists, and statements.
Right recursive lists got rid of the warnings, but instead, they
use up a tremendous amount of stack space when the lists are long.
I saw this a few years back, and resolved not to fix it until
someone complained. That day has arrived!
After the changes were made, I ran the regression test suite,
and there were no problems.
I took the test case the user provided, and added 100,000
extensions to the single context, that already had 6,000 extens
in it. (I'll see your 6, and raise you 100!) It takes a few minutes
to read it all in, check it and generate code for it, but no
problems.
So, I think I can say that fundamentally, there are no longer
any limits on the number of items you can place in contexts,
statement blocks, switches, or globals, beyond your virt mem
constraints.

1) Add module use count handling so that timing modules can be unloaded.
2) Implement unload_module() functions for the timing interface modules.
3) Allow multiple timing modules to be loaded, and use the one with the
highest priority value.
4) Report which timing module is being use in the "timing test" CLI command.

This patch includes a number of changes to the indications API. The primary
motivation for this work was to improve stability. The object management
in this API was significantly flawed, and a number of trivial situations could
cause crashes.
The changes included are:
1) Remove the module res_indications. This included the critical functionality
that actually loaded the indications configuration. I have seen many people
have Asterisk problems because they accidentally did not have an
indications.conf present and loaded. Now, this code is in the core,
and Asterisk will fail to start without indications configuration.
There was one part of res_indications, the dialplan applications, which did
belong in a module, and have been moved to a new module, app_playtones.
2) Object management has been significantly changed. Tone zones are now
managed using astobj2, and it is no longer possible to crash Asterisk by
issuing a reload that destroys tone zones while they are in use.
3) The API documentation has been filled out.
4) The API has been updated to follow our naming conventions.
5) Various bits of code throughout the tree have been updated to account
for the API update.
6) Configuration parsing has been mostly re-written.
7) "Code cleanup"
The code is from svn/asterisk/team/russell/indications/.

Don't overwrite our pointer to the music class when music on hold stops. We will use this if it starts again to see if we can resume the music where it left off.

This sequence of events posed a problem
timerfd_timer_open
timerfd_timer_enable_continuous
timerfd_timer_set_rate
timerfd_timer_disable_continuous
The reason was that the timing module was written under the assumption
that timerfd_timer_set_rate would not be called between enabling and
disabling continuous mode. What happened in this situation was that
timerfd_timer_enable_continuous saved off our previously set timer (in this
situation a 0 timer, meaning it never runs out). Then timerfd_timer_disable_continuous
would restore this 0 timer, even though it logically should set the timer to be whatever
was set in timerfd_timer_set_rate.
Now the behavior in timerfd_timer_set_rate is to overwrite the saved timer that may
or may not have been set in timerfd_timer_enable_continuous. Even if
timerfd_timer_enable_continuous has not been previously called, this will not harm the
operation.
Thanks to Terry Wilson for discovering the problem and giving me a really great debug
capture that pointed out the problem clearly

This patch fixes a problem where a goto (or jump, in this case)
fails a consistency check because it can't find a matching
extension. The problem was a missing instruction to end
the range notation in the code where it converts the pattern
into a regex and uses the regex code to determine the match.
I tested using the AEL code the user supplied, and now,
the consistency check passes.

This patch removes the usage of AST_PBX_KEEPALIVE from res_agi. The only usage
was for the AGI command, "asyncagi break". This patch removes this feature.
Normally, a feature would not be removed like this. However, this code is
broken and usage of it will result in a memory leak.
Usage of this feature will make the AGI code return a result of
AST_PBX_KEEPALIVE. The PBX handler assumes that another thread has assumed
ownership of the channel. The channel thread will exit without destroying the
channel. Unfortunately, _no_ thread has ownership of the channel at this
point. There are a couple of serious problems here:
1) The only way to recover the caller is to issue a channel redirect. This
will work, but this will be done with a masquerade, and the old ast_channel
structure will be lost.
2) Until the channel redirect happens, there is no code servicing the channel.
That means nothing is reading audio or handling events coming from the
channel. This is very bad.
The recommended way to get this same "break" functionality is to issue the
redirect while the channel is still being handled by the AGI code. That way,
there will be no memory leak, and there will be no period of time that the
channel is not being serviced.

The variable "class" was being set NULL just prior to
being dereferenced in an ao2_link call. I have moved
the setting of the variable to NULL until after the
ao2_link call.
