In the old times media formats were represented using a bit field. This was
fast but had a few limitations.
1. Asterisk was limited in how many formats it could handle.
2. Formats, being a bit field, could not include any attribute information.
A format was strictly its type, e.g., "this is ulaw".
This was changed in Asterisk 10 (see
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal for
notes on that work) which led to the creation of the ast_format structure.
This structure allowed Asterisk to handle attributes and bundle information
with a format.
Additionally, ast_format_cap was created to act as a container for multiple
formats that, together, formed the capability of some entity. Another
mechanism was added to allow logic to be registered which performed format
attribute negotiation. Everywhere throughout the codebase Asterisk was
changed to use this strategy.
Unfortunately, in software, there is no free lunch. These new capabilities
came at a cost.
Performance analysis and profiling showed that we spend an inordinate
amount of time comparing, copying, and generally manipulating formats and
their related structures. Basic prototyping has shown that a reasonably
large performance improvement could be made in this area. This patch is the
result of that project, which overhauled the media format architecture
and its usage in Asterisk to improve performance.
Generally, the new philosophy for handling formats is as follows:
* The ast_format structure is reference counted. This removed a large amount
of the memory allocations and copying that was done in prior versions.
* In order to prevent race conditions while keeping things performant, the
ast_format structure is immutable by convention and lock-free. Violate this
tenet at your peril!
* Because formats are reference counted, codecs are also reference counted.
The Asterisk core generally provides built-in codecs and caches the
ast_format structures created to represent them. Generally, to prevent
inordinate amounts of module reference bumping, codecs and formats can be
added at run-time but cannot be removed.
* All compatibility with the bit field representation of codecs/formats has
been moved to a compatibility API. The primary user of this representation
is chan_iax2, which must continue to maintain its bit-field usage of formats
for interoperability concerns.
* When a format is negotiated with attributes, or when a format cannot be
represented by one of the cached formats, a new format object is created or
cloned from an existing format. That format may have the same codec
underlying it, but is a different format than a version of the format with
different attributes or without attributes.
* While formats are reference counted objects, the reference count maintained
on the format should be manipulated with care. Formats are generally cached
and will persist for the lifetime of Asterisk and do not explicitly need
to have their lifetime modified. An exception to this is when the user of a
format does not know where the format came from *and* the user may outlive
the provider of the format. This occurs, for example, when a format is read
from a channel: the channel may have a format with attributes (hence,
non-cached) and the user of the format may last longer than the channel (if
the reference to the channel is released prior to the format's reference).

Finally, this work was the culmination of a large number of developer's
efforts. Extra thanks goes to Corey Farrell, who took on a large amount of the
work in the Asterisk core, chan_sip, and was an invaluable resource in peer
reviews throughout this project.
There were a substantial number of patches contributed during this work; the
following issues/patch names simply reflect some of the work (and will cause

This change adds improvements to support for allow=all in
pjsip.conf so that it functions as intended. Previously,
the allow/disallow socery configuration would set & clear
codecs from the media.codecs and media.prefs list, but if
all was specified the prefs list was not updated. Then a
call would fail when create_outgoing_sdp_stream() created
an SDP with no audio codecs.
A new function ast_codec_pref_append_all() is provided to
add all codecs to the prefs list - only those not already
on the list. This enables the configuration to specify a
codec preference, but still add all codecs, and even then
remove some codecs, as shown in this example:
allow = ulaw, alaw, all, !g729, !g723
Also, the display order of allow in cli output is updated
to match the configuration by using prefs instead of caps
when generating a human readable string.
Finally, a change to create_outgoing_sdp_stream() skips a
codec when it does not have a payload code instead of the
call failing.

This patch resolves a number of ref leaks that occur primarily on Asterisk
shutdown. It adds a variety of shutdown routines to core portions of
Asterisk such that they can reclaim resources allocate duringd initialization.

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.

* chan_mobile: Fixed an overrun where the cind_state buffer (an integer array
of size 16) would be overrun due to improper bounds checking. At worst, the
buffer can be overrun by a total of 48 bytes (assuming 4-byte integers),
which would still leave it within the allocated memory of struct hfp. This
would corrupt other elements in that struct but not necessarily cause any
further issues.
* app_sms: The array imsg is of size 250, while the array (ud) that the data
is copied into is of size 160. If the size of the inbound message is
greater then 160, up to 90 bytes could be overrun in ud. This would corrupt
the user data header (array udh) adjacent to ud.
* chan_unistim: A number of invalid memmoves are corrected. These would move
data (which may or may not be valid) into the ends of these buffers.
* asterisk: ast_console_toggle_loglevel does not check that the console log
level being set is less then or equal to the allowed log levels of 32.
* format_pref: In ast_codec_pref_prepend, if any occurrence of the specified
codec is not found, the value used to index into the array pref->order
would be one greater then the maximum size of the array.
* jitterbuf: If the element being placed into the jitter buffer lands in the
last available slot in the jitter history buffer, the insertion sort attempts
to move the last entry in the buffer into one slot past the maximum length
of the buffer. Note that this occurred for both the min and max jitter
history buffers.
* tdd: If a read from fsk_serial returns a character that is greater then 32,
an attempt to read past one of the statically defined arrays containing the
values that character maps to would occur.
* localtime: struct ast_time and tm are not the same size - ast_time is larger,
although it contains the elements of tm within it in the same layout. Hence,
when using memcpy to copy the contents of tm into ast_time, the size of tm
should be used, as opposed to the size of ast_time.
* extconf: this treats ast_timing's minmask array as if it had a length of 48,
when it has defined the size of the array as 24. pbx.h defines minmask as
having a size of 48.

In ast_codec_pref_getsize, if an unknown format is passed to the method,
no preferred codec will be selected and a negative number will be used to
index into the format list. The method now logs an unknown format as a
warning, and returns an empty format list.

audio ConfBridge, and other stuff
-Functional changes
1. Dynamic global format list build by codecs defined in codecs.conf
2. SILK 8khz, 12khz, 16khz, and 24khz with custom attributes defined in codecs.conf
3. Negotiation of SILK attributes in chan_sip.
4. SPEEX 32khz with translation
5. SLINEAR 8khz, 12khz, 24khz, 32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 96khz, 192khz with translation
using codec_resample.c
6. Various changes to RTP code required to properly handle the dynamic format list
and formats with attributes.
7. ConfBridge now dynamically jumps to the best possible sample rate. This allows
for conferences to take advantage of HD audio (Which sounds awesome)
8. Audiohooks are no longer limited to 8khz audio, and most effects have been
updated to take advantage of this such as Volume, DENOISE, PITCH_SHIFT.
9. codec_resample now uses its own code rather than depending on libresample.
-Organizational changes
Global format list is moved from frame.c to format.c
Various format specific functions moved from frame.c to format.c

This patch is the foundation of an entire new way of looking at media in Asterisk.
The code present in this patch is everything required to complete phase1 of my
Media Architecture proposal. For more information about this project visit the link below.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal
The primary function of this patch is to convert all the usages of format
bitfields in Asterisk to use the new format and format_cap APIs. Functionally
no change in behavior should be present in this patch. Thanks to twilson
and russell for all the time they spent reviewing these changes.
