Juuso Oikarinen 2b78ac9bfc cfg80211: fix BSS double-unlinking (continued)
This patch adds to the fix "fix BSS double-unlinking"
(commit 3207390a8b) by Johannes Berg.

It turns out, that the double-unlinking scenario can also occur if expired
BSS elements are removed whilst an interface is performing association.

To work around that, replace list_del with list_del_init also in the
"cfg80211_bss_expire" function, so that the check for whether the BSS still is
in the list works correctly in cfg80211_unlink_bss.

Scott James Remnant 4d9d88d121 net/wireless: add COUNTRY to to regulatory device uevent
Regulatory devices issue change uevents to inform userspace of a need
to call the crda tool; however these can often be sent before udevd is
running, and were not previously included in the results of
udevadm trigger (which requests a new change event using the /uevent
attribute of the sysfs object).

Add a uevent function to the device type which includes the COUNTRY
information from the last request if it has yet to be processed, the
case of multiple requests is already handled in the code by checking
whether an unprocessed one is queued in the same manner and refusing
to queue a new one.

The existing udev rule continues to work as before.

Daniel J Blueman 4f919a3bc5 fix cfg80211_wext_siwfreq lock ordering...
I previously managed to reproduce a hang while scanning wireless
channels (reproducible with airodump-ng hopping channels); subsequent
lockdep instrumentation revealed a lock ordering issue.

Without knowing the design intent, it looks like the locks should be
taken in reverse order; please comment.

Juuso Oikarinen bf6a0579f6 cfg80211: Fix power save state after interface type change
Currently cfg80211 only configures the PSM state to the driver upon creation
of a new virtual interface, but not after interface type change. The mac80211
on the other hand reinitializes its sdata structure every time the interface
type is changed, losing the PSM configuration.

Hence, if the interface type is changed to, say, ad-hoc and then back to
managed, "iw wlan0 get power_save" will claim that PSM is enabled, when in
fact on mac80211 level it is not.

Fix this in cfg80211 by configuring the PSM state to the driver each time
the interface is brought up instead of just when the interface is created.

Julia Lawall efe1cf0c57 net/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel
genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before
calling nlmsg_cancel.  nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same
arguments.  nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a
NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial
subtraction.  Nothing else happens in this execution, so the call to
genlmsg_cancel is simply unnecessary in this case.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression data;
@@

if (data == NULL) { ...
* genlmsg_cancel(..., data);

Juuso Oikarinen 45cbad6a12 cfg80211: Allow non-zero indexes for device specific pair-wise ciphers
Some vendor specific cipher suites require non-zero key indexes for pairwise
keys, but as of currently, the cfg80211 does not allow it.

As validating they cipher parameters for vendor specific cipher suites is the
job of the driver or hardware/firmware, change the cfg80211 to allow also
non-zero pairwise key indexes for vendor specific ciphers.

Bruno Randolf 59eb21a650 cfg80211: Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j
Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to
IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping
channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to
frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we
know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility)
we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14.

This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in
802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz
channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.

The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes:
iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx.
The drivers have been compile-tested only.

David Rientjes 6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Luis R. Rodriguez 2784fe915c cfg80211: fix null pointer dereference with a custom regulatory request
Once we moved the core regulatory request to the queue and let
the scheduler process it last_request will have been left NULL
until the schedular decides to process the first request. When
this happens and we are loading a driver with a custom regulatory
request like all Atheros drivers we end up with a NULL pointer
dereference. We fix this by checking if the request was a
custom one.

Jouni Malinen cf4e594ea7 nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/Disassoc
Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.

This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).
IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism.

Sven Neumann 01123e2331 cfg80211: update information elements in cached BSS struct
When a cached BSS struct is updated because a new beacon was received,
the code replaces the cached information elements by the IEs from the
new beacon. However it did not update the pub.information_elements
and pub.len_information_elements fields leaving them either pointing
to the old beacon IEs or in an inconsistent state where the data is
replaced by the new beacon IEs but len_information_elements still has
its value from the first beacon.

Fix this by updating the information elements fields if they are
pointing to beacon IEs.

Bruno Randolf a7ffac9591 cfg80211: Add antenna availability information
Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for
configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the
anntenna configuration ops be executed.

Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap
of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent
with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the
hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make
much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to
support this, in case the need arises.

The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and
rejected if it does not match.

Johannes Berg 29cbe68c51 cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.

Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.

We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.

In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.

Luis R. Rodriguez b2e253cf30 cfg80211: Fix regulatory bug with multiple cards and delays
When two cards are connected with the same regulatory domain
if CRDA had a delayed response then cfg80211's own set regulatory
domain would still be the world regulatory domain. There was a bug
on cfg80211's logic such that it assumed that once you pegged a
request as the last request it was already the currently set
regulatory domain. This would mean we would race setting a stale
regulatory domain to secondary cards which had the same regulatory
domain since the alpha2 would match.

We fix this by processing each regulatory request atomically,
and only move on to the next one once we get it fully processed.
In the case CRDA is not present we will simply world roam.

This issue is only present when you have a slow system and the
CRDA processing is delayed. Because of this it is not a known
regression.

Without this fix when a delay is present with CRDA the second card
would end up with an intersected regulatory domain and not allow it
to use the channels it really is designed for. When two cards with
two different regulatory domains were inserted you'd end up
rejecting the second card's regulatory domain request.
This fails with mac80211_hswim's regtest=2 (two requests, same alpha2)
and regtest=3 (two requests, different alpha2) module parameter
options.

This was reproduced and tested against mac80211_hwsim using this
CRDA delayer:

       #!/bin/bash
       echo $COUNTRY >> /tmp/log
       sleep 2
       /sbin/crda.orig

And these regulatory tests:

       modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=2
       modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=3
