The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict
authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job
to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the
acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing
any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for
the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an
insecure ACL link.
Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the
connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to
do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP).
The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the
integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases
where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on
an older specification.

With the introduction of Security Mode 4 and Simple Pairing from the
Bluetooth 2.1 specification it became mandatory that the initiator
requires authentication and encryption before any L2CAP channel can
be established. The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service
discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption
since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0
and before handle connections on PSM 1.
For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between
no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer
wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it
should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication
requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used,
but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding.
If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it
also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on
requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM
protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive
operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice
during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing
a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected
Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known
up-front and so enforce them.
To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended
with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside
the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any
time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in
the expected behavior.

With the Simple Pairing support, the authentication requirements are
an explicit setting during the bonding process. Track and enforce the
requirements and allow higher layers like L2CAP and RFCOMM to increase
them if needed.
This patch introduces a new IOCTL that allows to query the current
authentication requirements. It is also possible to detect Simple
Pairing support in the kernel this way.

The Bluetooth technology introduces new features on a regular basis
and for some of them it is important that the hardware on both sides
support them. For features like Simple Pairing it is important that
the host stacks on both sides have switched this feature on. To make
valid decisions, a config stage during ACL link establishment has been
introduced that retrieves remote features and if needed also the remote
extended features (known as remote host features) before signalling
this link as connected.
This change introduces full reference counting of incoming and outgoing
ACL links and the Bluetooth core will disconnect both if no owner of it
is present. To better handle interoperability during the pairing phase
the disconnect timeout for incoming connections has been increased to
10 seconds. This is five times more than for outgoing connections.

The Simple Pairing process can only be used if both sides have the
support enabled in the host stack. The current Bluetooth specification
has three ways to detect this support.
If an Extended Inquiry Result has been sent during inquiry then it
is safe to assume that Simple Pairing is enabled. It is not allowed
to enable Extended Inquiry without Simple Pairing. During the remote
name request phase a notification with the remote host supported
features will be sent to indicate Simple Pairing support. Also the
second page of the remote extended features can indicate support for
Simple Pairing.
For all three cases the value of remote Simple Pairing mode is stored
in the inquiry cache for later use.

The Simple Pairing feature is optional and needs to be enabled by the
host stack first. The Linux kernel relies on the Bluetooth daemon to
either enable or disable it, but at any time it needs to know the
current state of the Simple Pairing mode. So track any changes made
by external entities and store the current mode in the HCI device
structure.

The connection packet type can be changed after the connection has been
established and thus needs to be properly tracked to ensure that the
host stack has always correct and valid information about it.
On incoming connections the Bluetooth core switches the supported packet
types to the configured list for this controller. However the usefulness
of this feature has been questioned a lot. The general consent is that
every Bluetooth host stack should enable as many packet types as the
hardware actually supports and leave the decision to the link manager
software running on the Bluetooth chip.
When running on Bluetooth 2.0 or later hardware, don't change the packet
type for incoming connections anymore. This hardware likely supports
Enhanced Data Rate and thus leave it completely up to the link manager
to pick the best packet type.

The Bluetooth specification allows to enable or disable the encryption
of an ACL link at any time by either the peer or the remote device. If
a L2CAP or RFCOMM connection requested an encrypted link, they will now
disconnect that link if the encryption gets disabled. Higher protocols
that don't care about encryption (like SDP) are not affected.

With the Bluetooth 1.2 specification the Extended SCO feature for
better audio connections was introduced. So far the Bluetooth core
wasn't able to handle any eSCO connections correctly. This patch
adds simple eSCO support while keeping backward compatibility with
older devices.

The Bluetooth HCI commands are divided into logical OGF groups for
easier identification of their purposes. While this still makes sense
for the written specification, its makes the code only more complex
and harder to read. So instead of using separate OGF and OCF values
to identify the commands, use a common 16-bit opcode that combines
both values. As a side effect this also reduces the complexity of
OGF and OCF calculations during command header parsing.

Most Bluetooth chips don't support concurrent connect requests, because
this would involve a multiple baseband page with only one radio. In the
case an upper layer like L2CAP requests a concurrent connect these chips
return the error "Command Disallowed" for the second request. If this
happens it the responsibility of the Bluetooth core to queue the request
and try again after the previous connect attempt has been completed.

In case of non-blocking connects it is possible that the last user
of an ACL link quits before the connection has been fully established.
This will lead to a race condition where the internal state of a
connection is closed, but the actual link has been established and is
active. In case of Bluetooth 1.2 and later devices it is possible to
call create connection cancel to abort the connect. For older devices
the disconnect timer will be used to trigger the needed disconnect.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
