In order to show the properties of the profile management interface, e.g.:
$ sudo mmcli -m a --3gpp-profile-manager-status
-----------------------------------
3GPP profile manager | index field: apn-type
The modem may report the 'apn-type' field is the one to be used as
index; if that's the case, allow setting and deleting profiles based
on the given 'apn-type' field.
This change also makes the internal profile management operations use
one index field or another, based on what the protocol implements.
For most protocols, the operations to manage profiles require a unique
'profile-id' as index. This applies to AT, QMI and generic MBIM.
But for MBIM using the Microsoft Extensions for profile management,
this is no longer true; the device expects the 'apn-type' to be the
index.
This new property lets the user know which is the expected index field
in the Delete() and Set() operations.
Microsoft defined a new extended version of the "provisioned contexts"
operation from the generic MBIM basic connect service. This extended
version adds several new settings that can be stored in the profile
(e.g. IP type, media type, roaming allowance...).
But this new version has a huge drawback; we cannot specify single
profiles via their unique id while we perform update/delete operations
in the modem. Instead, Microsoft explains that we should use the
context type to identify the target context; but this will ONLY work
if we have one context defined for each type. As soon as we have
multiple contexts of the same type, this operation may fail or
otherwise update multiple contexts at once.
The 'allow-roaming' setting should be considered deprecated for 3GPP
devices that support the new 'roaming-allowance' setting, which is
much more detailed (as it allows to differentiate between partner and
non-partner networks) and may also be stored as part of a profile.
This setting is stored as part of the profile in the device, and
allows the user to specify that a given profile must not be used in
any way by the modem (if set to 'FALSE').
In 5G capable devices, which can support multiple types of access
types (either 3GPP or non-3GPP), the UE may request to use a 3GPP
access type exclusively, prefer a 3GPP access type, or just report no
preference.
When supported, this field may also be part of the settings that can
be stored as part of a profile.
A new set of property+method is added to be able to configure the 5G
specific registration settings, initially defining the support for the
MICO mode.
The property name starts with "Nr5g" instead of "5gNr" because of the
limitations imposed by the GObject type system on how properties with
numbers can be named.
The udev flag "ID_MM_QMI_FACILITY_LOCK_QUERY_REDUCED" allows to skip
facility lock state query "get_ck_status" on the DMS path for devices
where this isn't implemented properly.
On devices that have enabled "device locks", this flag won't work well.
Skipping the query doesn't disable the locks.
Fixes#448
Main thing that's required to get modem hot-swapping to work is the
UDCONF=50,1 command(see u-blox AT-command manual). But there are a lot
of u-blox modules which do not support this command. So in this patch,
it's supposed that this thing is configured beforehand(Like the UUSBCONF
functioning mode) for modules, where SIM hot-swaping feature is
possible. For the modems where it's not, the patch will not have any effects.
----
For ublox modems, CIEV: 12(X) messages allow to know if
SIM is (un)plugged. The values are encoded as:
- 0: no SIM detected
- 1: SIM detected
It's required from a modem to generate these events about the SIM
detection state.
To set up these `CIEV: 12,(X)` URC events the `+CMER=1,0,0,1,0` command
is used. That command is supported by almost all u-blox modems except
SARA-G300/SARA-G310/LEON-G1(For these models the hot-swap feature will
not work).
As this 12 that is used in CIEV may be completely different in other
modules, the test command parsing is quite important to get that index
number. So, this logic is also added in cind_simind_format_check_ready
function.
----
It seems that it's necessary to issue this `+CMER` set up there despite
that the `+CMER` configuration will take place later in the 3GPP
interface enabling sequence. Because without it simind indications
will not be enabled at all.
CMER configuration may be later overwritten by 3GPP interface enabling
sequence, but in the worst-case scenario only hot-swap feature will not
work.
If we have a modem with an established connection, and then the
SIM is getting removed from that modem, this forces modem reprobing
sequence.
It looks like that:
```
mm-base-modem:mm_base_modem_process_sim_event
-> mm-base-modem:mm_base_modem_disable
-> mm-base-modem:disable
-> mm-broadband-modem:common_disable
-> mm-broadband-modem:disabling_step,
-> ctx->step=DISABLING_STEP_FIRST
-> ctx->step=DISABLING_STEP_WAIT_FOR_FINAL_STATE
-> ctx->step=DISABLING_STEP_DISCONNECT_BEARERS
```
At this stage, there is no actual connection existing already, but
bearer objects still exist and are still marked as connected.
So, if there were any active bearers - they will be disconnected.
In order to disconnect, ublox bearer sends +CGACT=0,%u, modem then
will return CME ERROR: 10(SIM not inserted):
```
[modem0/ttyACM0/at] --> 'AT+CGACT=0,1<CR>'
[modem0/ttyACM0/at] <-- '<CR><LF>+CME ERROR: 10<CR><LF>'
[modem0/ttyACM0/at] operation failure: 10 (SIM not inserted)
[modem0/bearer0] couldn't disconnect: SIM not inserted
```
this error will break disabling and reprobing. To fix that, it's
require to add 'SIM not inserted' state as a valid condition to
continue bearer disconnection.
By the time we report the bearer as 'Connected', the DBus client
should also be able to know right away the value of
'ReloadStatsSupported', instead of needing to wait for it to be
updated asynchronously.
This logic adds one additional step in the generic connection
sequence for this purpose, which is run after the modem is connected
but before we report the state change via DBus.
This property means that the current bearer can reload stats and read TX
and RX bytes transmitted.
The property is initiliazed as soon as the bearer is connected.

We originally did only 3 attempts every 3s, so the maximum probing
time for a given TTY port looking for AT capabilities was 9 seconds.
We now duplicate the amount of times, so up to 18s of port probing,
which is quite a lot more than before, but unfortunately it's needed
because most new modems take a lot of time to boot up internally.
The way to avoid this long probing time is to make sure port type
hints for the possible AT ports are set correctly.

The ModemManager codebase has been ported to support Basic Connect v3
messages as defined in MBIMEx v3.0, so at this point we can now switch
to use it by default whenever possible.
Whenever MBIMEx v3.0 is enabled, the logic should create requests and
parse responses using the updated format.

When an eSIM doesn't have any profile set, we should treat it as fully
ready to be used; i.e. so that a new SIM object can be created and
initialized.
In this state, the "eSIM status" property will say "No profiles".
