78632a17ea cfg/mac80211: define TDLS channel switch feature bit
Define some related TDLS protocol constants and advertise channel switch
support in the extended-capabilities IE when the feature bit is defined.

Actually supporting TDLS channel-switching also requires support for
some new nl80211 commands, to be introduced by future patches.

d04b5ac9e7 cfg80211/mac80211: allow any interface to send channel switch notifications
For multi-vif channel switches, we want to send
NL80211_CMD_CH_SWITCH_NOTIFY to the userspace to let it decide whether
other interfaces need to be moved as well.  This is needed when we
want a P2P GO interface to follow the channel of a station, for
example.

Modify the code so that all interfaces can send CSA notifications.
Additionally, send notifications for STA CSA as well.

f8d7552e94 cfg80211: add channel switch started notification
Add a new NL80211_CH_SWITCH_STARTED_NOTIFY message that can be sent to
the userspace when a channel switch process has started.  This allows
userspace to take action, for instance, by requesting other interfaces
to switch channel as necessary.

This patch introduces a function that allows the drivers to send this
notification.  It should be used when the driver starts processing a
channel switch initiated by a remote device (eg. when a STA receives a
CSA from the AP) and when it successfully starts a userspace-triggered
channel switch (eg. when hostapd triggers a channel swith in the AP).

6e0bd6c35b cfg80211: 802.11p OCB mode handling
This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing
the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode.
When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb
function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well).
A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center
frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'.

Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid
many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB'
not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality
(where needed) is added in the following patch.

723e73acd1 cfg80211: make WMM TSPEC support flag an nl80211 feature flag
During the review of the corresponding wpa_supplicant patches we
noticed that the only way for it to detect that this functionality
is supported currently is to check for the command support. This
can be misleading though, as the command was also designed to, in
the future, support pure 802.11 TSPECs.

Expose the WMM-TSPEC feature flag to nl80211 so later we can also
expose an 802.11-TSPEC feature flag (if needed) to differentiate
the two cases.

Note: this change isn't needed in 3.18 as there's no driver there
yet that supports the functionality at all.

0e227084ae cfg80211: clarify BSS probe response vs. beacon data
There are a few possible cases of where BSS data came from:
 1) only a beacon has been received
 2) only a probe response has been received
 3) the driver didn't report what it received (this happens when
    using cfg80211_inform_bss[_width]())
 4) both probe response and beacon data has been received

Unfortunately, in the userspace API, a few things weren't there:
 a) there was no way to differentiate cases 1) and 4) above
    without comparing the data of the IEs
 b) the TSF was always from the last frame, instead of being
    exposed for beacon/probe response separately like IEs

Fix this by
   i) exporting a new flag attribute that indicates whether or
      not probe response data has been received - this addresses (a)
  ii) exporting a BEACON_TSF attribute that holds the beacon's TSF
      if a beacon has been received
 iii) not exporting the beacon attributes in case (3) above as that
      would just lead userspace into thinking the data actually came
      from a beacon when that isn't clear

To implement this, track inside the IEs struct whether or not it
(definitely) came from a beacon.

78f22b6a3a cfg80211: allow userspace to take ownership of interfaces
When dynamically creating interfaces from userspace, e.g. for P2P usage,
such interfaces are usually owned by the process that created them, i.e.
wpa_supplicant. Should wpa_supplicant crash, such interfaces will often
cease operating properly and cause problems on restarting the process.

To avoid this problem, introduce an ownership concept for interfaces. If
an interface is owned by a netlink socket, then it will be destroyed if
the netlink socket is closed for any reason, including if the process it
belongs to crashed. This gives us a race-free way to get rid of any such
interfaces.

9752482083 cfg80211: regulatory introduce maximum bandwidth calculation
In case we will get regulatory request with rule
where max_bandwidth_khz is set to 0 handle this
case as a special one.

If max_bandwidth_khz == 0 we should calculate maximum
available bandwidth base on all frequency contiguous rules.
In case we need auto calculation we just have to set:

country PL: DFS-ETSI
        (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
        (5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20), DFS
        (5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS

This mean we will calculate maximum bw for rules where
AUTO (N/A) were set, 160MHz (5330 - 5170) in example above.
So we will get:
        (5170 - 5250 @ 160), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 160), (N/A, 20), DFS

In other case:
country FR: DFS-ETSI
        (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
        (5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
        (5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS

We will get 80MHz (5250 - 5170):
        (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS

Base on this calculations we will set correct channel
bandwidth flags (eg. IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_80MHZ).

We don't need any changes in CRDA or internal regulatory.

ea73cbce4e nl80211: fix scheduled scan RSSI matchset attribute confusion
The scheduled scan matchsets were intended to be a list of filters,
with the found BSS having to pass at least one of them to be passed
to the host. When the RSSI attribute was added, however, this was
broken and currently wpa_supplicant adds that attribute in its own
matchset; however, it doesn't intend that to mean that anything
that passes the RSSI filter should be passed to the host, instead
it wants it to mean that everything needs to also have higher RSSI.

This is semantically problematic because we have a list of filters
like [ SSID1, SSID2, SSID3, RSSI ] with no real indication which
one should be OR'ed and which one AND'ed.

To fix this, move the RSSI filter attribute into each matchset. As
we need to stay backward compatible, treat a matchset with only the
RSSI attribute as a "default RSSI filter" for all other matchsets,
but only if there are other matchsets (an RSSI-only matchset by
itself is still desirable.)

To make driver implementation easier, keep a global min_rssi_thold
for the entire request as well. The only affected driver is ath6kl.

I found this when I looked into the code after Raja Mani submitted
a patch fixing the n_match_sets calculation to disregard the RSSI,
but that patch didn't address the semantic issue.

b43504cf75 cfg80211: Advertise maximum associated STAs in AP mode
This allows drivers to advertise the maximum number of associated
stations they support in AP mode (including P2P GO). User space
applications can use this for cleaner way of handling the limit (e.g.,
hostapd rejecting IEEE 802.11 authentication without manual
configuration of the limit) or to figure out what type of use cases can
be executed with multiple devices before trying and failing.

1df4a51082 cfg80211: Allow BSS hint to be provided for connect
This clarifies the expected driver behavior on the older
NL80211_ATTR_MAC and NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ attributes and adds a new
set of similar attributes with _HINT postfix to enable use of a
recommendation of the initial BSS to choose. This can be helpful for
some drivers that can avoid an additional full scan on connection
request if the information is provided to them (user space tools like
wpa_supplicant already has that information available based on earlier
scans).

In addition, this can be used to get more expected behavior for cases
where a specific BSS should be picked first based on operations like
Interworking network selection or WPS. These cases were already easily
addressed with drivers that leave BSS selection to user space, but there
was no convenient way to do this with drivers that take care of BSS
selection internally without using the NL80211_ATTR_MAC which is not
really desired since it is needed for other purposes to force the
association to remain with the same BSS.

fa9ffc7456 cfg80211: Add support for QoS mapping
This allows QoS mapping from external networks to be implemented as
defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.24.9. APs can use this to advertise
DSCP ranges and exceptions for mapping frames to a specific UP over
Wi-Fi.

The payload of the QoS Map Set element (IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 8.4.2.97)
is sent to the driver through the new NL80211_ATTR_QOS_MAP attribute to
configure the local behavior either on the AP (based on local
configuration) or on a station (based on information received from the
AP).

In addition to vendor-specific commands, also support vendor-specific
events. These must be registered with cfg80211 before they can be used.
They're also advertised in nl80211 in the wiphy information so that
userspace knows can be expected. The events themselves are sent on a
new multicast group called "vendor".

ad7e718c9b nl80211: vendor command support
Add support for vendor-specific commands to nl80211. This is
intended to be used for really vendor-specific functionality
that can't be implemented in a generic fashion for any reason.
It's *NOT* intended to be used for any normal/generic feature
or any optimisations that could be implemented across drivers.

Currently, only vendor commands (with replies) are supported,
no dump operations or vendor-specific notifications.

Also add a function wdev_to_ieee80211_vif() to mac80211 which
is needed for mac80211-based drivers wanting to implement any
vendor commands.

01e0daa43f cfg80211: fix reporting 5/10 MHz support to user space
nla_put_flag needs a real nl80211 attribute id, not a wiphy flag bit.
While at it, split 5 and 10 MHz capability flags in case we ever need
to support hardware that can only do one of the two.

Also move the flag settings to the split-only information so we don't
increase the space needed for old userspace.

8fe02e167e cfg80211: consolidate passive-scan and no-ibss flags
These two flags are used for the same purpose, just
combine them into a no-ir flag to annotate no initiating
radiation is allowed.

Old userspace sending either flag will have it treated as
the no-ir flag. To be considerate to older userspace we
also send both the no-ir flag and the old no-ibss flags.
Newer userspace will have to be aware of older kernels.

Update all places in the tree using these flags with the
following semantic patch:

5336fa88e8 nl80211/cfg80211: enable DFS for IBSS mode
To use DFS in IBSS mode, userspace is required to react to radar events.
It can inform nl80211 that it is capable of doing so by adding a
NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS attribute when joining the IBSS.

This attribute is supplied to let the kernelspace know that the
userspace application can and will handle radar events, e.g. by
intiating channel switches to a valid channel. DFS channels may
only be used if this attribute is supplied and the driver supports
it. Driver support will be checked even if a channel without DFS
will be initially joined, as a DFS channel may be chosen later.
