Javier Cardona 9ca99eeca0 mac80211: Check size of a new mesh path table for changes since allocation.
Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the
mesh_path->size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent
that value from changing between table allocation and copying.  We have
observed crashes that might be caused by this.

Javier Cardona b130e5cec9 nl80211: Introduce NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AMPE
Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace.

Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an
authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace
and hand them over to the kernel.  From that point the mesh stack would
take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management).

These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange
in userspace.  The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on
successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

Rafał Miłecki 9fcce61c0e ssb: update list of devices supporting multiple 80211 cores
Some of the BCM43xx chips contain cores that are attached to the SSB, but are
inactive as they do not connect to the external environment. These must not be
registered. Several of these types are handled in driver ssb; however, the
specific case of an inactive 802.11 cores is now treated in b43 and b43legacy.
Although the current setup works, this minor change will place all such
workarounds in ssb, and simplify the code in drivers b43 and b43legacy.

Amitkumar Karwar 7cc5eb629c mwifiex: remove unnecessary struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer
The structure definition is
struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer {
       u8 hdr[4];
       struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm ps_cfm_sleep;
} __packed;

For sleep_confirm command we already reserve 4 bytes (using skb_reserve())
for an interface header. It will be filled later by interface specific code.
We don't need "hdr[4]" element in above structure. So we can use
"struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm" directly instead of
"struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer".

Rafał Miłecki 8369ae33b7 bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver
Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.

In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.

Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).

Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

Luciano Coelho 306fe9384f mac80211: don't drop frames where skb->len < 24 in ieee80211_scan_rx()
This seems to be a leftover from the old days, when we didn't support
any frames that didn't contain the full ieee802.11 header.  This is
not the case anymore.  It does not cause problems now, because they
are only dropped during scan.  But when scheduled scans get merged,
this would become a problem because we would drop all small frames
while scheduled scan is running.

To fix this, return RX_CONTINUE instead of RX_DROP_MONITOR.

Johannes Berg 054ec92494 iwlagn: fix iwl_is_any_associated
The function iwl_is_any_associated() was intended
to check both contexts, but due to an oversight
it only checks the BSS context. This leads to a
problem with scanning since the passive dwell
time isn't restricted appropriately and a scan
that includes passive channels will never finish
if only the PAN context is associated since the
default dwell time of 120ms won't fit into the
normal 100 TU DTIM interval.

Fix the function by using for_each_context() and
also reorganise the other functions a bit to take
advantage of each other making the code easier to
read.

Johannes Berg 2c46f72e06 iwlagn: check DMA mapping errors
DMA mappings can fail, but the current code
doesn't check for that. Add checking, which
requires some restructuring for proper error
paths.

Johannes Berg 94b00658ff iwlagn: remove bytecount indirection
All AGN devices need the bytecount table, so
remove the indirection and make the functions
static again.

Johannes Berg ccb6c1c0ec iwlagn: dont update bytecount table for command queue
The device doesn't use the bytecount table for the
command queue, only for aggregation queues to make
aggregation decisions. So don't update it for the
command queue (and we even updated it with wrong
values).

The frame pre-allocation is quite a bit of complex

Cindy H. Kao 4613e72dbd iwlwifi: support the svtool messages interactions through nl80211 test mode
This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through
the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel
wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool.

The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi
device and the user space application so that the interaction between the
user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is
in a way of generic netlink messaging.

The detail specific functions are:

1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command
   from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized  to
   three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access
   the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload
   the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers
   and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is
   returned to the user space application if there's any.

2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous
   messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types,
   whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR,
   iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user
   space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to
   the user space application.

Implementation guidelines:

1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through  NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE
   channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko
   to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi
   device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed.

   Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure
   iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c.

2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver
   (ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions.
   For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused.

3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the
   existing iwlwifi driver files.

   The new files added are :

   drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c
        - to handle the user space test mode application command
          and reply the respective command status to the user space application.
        - to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space.

   drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h
        - the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in
          the generic netlink messages
