Luis R. Rodriguez 5078b2e32a cfg80211: fix race between core hint and driver's custom apply
Its possible for cfg80211 to have scheduled the work and for
the global workqueue to not have kicked in prior to a cfg80211
driver's regulatory hint or wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().

Although this is very unlikely its possible and should fix
this race. When this race would happen you are expected to have
hit a null pointer dereference panic.

Johannes Berg 88f16db7a2 wext: verify buffer size for SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody
surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext
structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory
but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it
just being the length of the extra buffer - size of
the struct and using the explicit key length only for
the get operation (which only writes it).

Therefore, we have this layout:

extra: +-------------------------+
       | struct iw_encode_ext  { |
       |     ...                 |
       |     u16 key_len;        |
       |     u8 key[0];          |
       | };                      |
       +-------------------------+
       | key material            |
       +-------------------------+

Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without
checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the
extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This
leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer,
depending on the driver it may be possible to specify
arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length
for the key algorithm specified.

Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root
can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as
a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode
or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer).

Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer
along with struct iw_encode_ext.

Luis R. Rodriguez ac46d48e00 cfg80211: fix race condition with wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()
We forgot to lock using the cfg80211_mutex in
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Without the lock
there is possible race between processing a reply from CRDA
and a driver calling wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). During
the processing of the reply from CRDA we free last_request and
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() eventually accesses an
element from last_request in the through freq_reg_info_regd().

This is very difficult to reproduce (I haven't), it takes us
3 hours and you need to be banging hard, but the race is obvious
by looking at the code.

This should only affect those who use this caller, which currently
is ath5k, ath9k, and ar9170.

Johannes Berg 4bbf4d5658 cfg80211: fix locking in nl80211_set_wiphy
Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the
cfg80211_mutex while the device mutex is held, while
this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy
and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename
rather than acquiring it within.

Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so
we need to provide it.

Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace

the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
code to help these users migrate.

Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
system will world roam.

This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module

users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

The functionality that NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE provided can now

NL80211_CMD_DISASSOCIATE.

Since this is a very recently added command and there are no known (or
known planned) applications using NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE and
taken into account how much extra complexity it adds to the IE
processing we have now (and need to add in the future to fix IE order
in couple of frames), it looks like the best option is to just remove
the implementation of this command for now. The enum values themselves
are left to avoid changing the nl80211 command or attribute numbers.

Jouni Malinen 636a5d3625 nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.

The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).

The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.

The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.

This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
includes all the needed information.

This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
SME.

Johannes Berg 3b85875a25 nl80211: rework locking
When I added scanning to cfg80211, we got a lock dependency like this:
	rtnl --> cfg80211_mtx

nl80211, on the other hand, has the reverse lock dependency:
	cfg80211_mtx --> rtnl

which clearly is a bad idea. This patch reworks nl80211 to take these
two locks in the other order to fix the possible, and easily
triggerable, deadlock.

Reinette Chatre 633e24ed95 cfg80211/nl80211: remove usage of CONFIG_NL80211
The scan capability added to cfg80211/nl80211 introduced a
dependency on nl80211 by cfg80211. We can thus no longer have
just cfg80211 without nl80211. Specifically, cfg80211_scan_done()
calls nl80211_send_scan_aborted() or nl80211_send_scan_done().

Now we remove the option for user to select nl80211. It will always
be compiled if user selects cfg80211.

Luis R. Rodriguez e38f8a7a8b cfg80211: Add AP beacon regulatory hints
When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan
on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although
we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this
is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world
roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on
one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do
the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement.

This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans.
This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning.
If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present
on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue.

All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from
any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to
the system at a later time.

The current static world regulatory domain is too restrictive,
we can use some 5 GHz channels world wide so long as they do not
touch frequencies which require DFS. The compromise is we must
also enforce passive scanning and disallow usage of a mode of
operation that beacons: (AP | IBSS | Mesh)
