Matthew Jordan	a2c912e997	media formats: re-architect handling of media for performance improvements 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). For more information on this work, see the API design notes: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Format+Rewrite 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 the release scripts to give attribution to the individuals who work on them).

Matthew Jordan	60d9ca687c	Fix error that caused truncate operations to fail Another very inappropriate placement of a ')' (again introduced in r362151) caused the various truncate operations to attempt to truncate the sound file at a position of '0'.

Matthew Jordan	70c5ac6635	Fix error that caused seek format operations to set max file size to '1' or '0' A very inappropriate placement of a ')' (introduced in r362151) caused the maximum size of a file to be set as the result of a comparison operation, as opposed to the result of the ftello operation. This resulted in seeking being restricted to the beginning of the file, or 1 byte into the file. Thanks to the Asterisk Test Suite for properly freaking out about this on at least one test.

Matthew Jordan	ba7032be5f	Check for IO stream failures in various format's truncate/seek operations For the formats that support seek and/or truncate operations, many of the C library calls used to determine or set the current position indicator in the file stream were not being checked. In some situations, if an error occurred, a negative value would be returned from the library call. This could then be interpreted inappropriately as positional data. This patch checks the return values from these library calls before using them in subsequent operations.

David Vossel	c26c190711	Asterisk media architecture conversion - no more format bitfields 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.
