cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

cfg80211: implement regdb signature checking Currently CRDA implements the signature checking, and the previous commits added the ability to load the whole regulatory database into the kernel. However, we really can't lose the signature checking, so implement it in the kernel by loading a detached signature (regulatory.db.p7s) and check it against built-in keys.

cfg80211: restore regulatory without calling userspace Jouni reports that in some cases it is possible that getting disconnected (or stopping AP, after previous patches) results in further operations hitting the window within the regulatory core restoring the regdomain to the defaults. The reason for this is that we have to call out to CRDA or otherwise do some asynchronous work, and thus can't do the restore atomically. However, we've previously seen all the data we need to do the restore, so we can hang on to that data and use it later for the restore. This makes the whole thing happen within a single locked section and thus atomic. However, we can't *always* do this - there are unfortunately cases where the restore needs to re-request, because this is also used (abused?) as an error recovery process, so make the new behaviour optional and only use it when doing a regular restore as described above.

cfg80211: Add API to change the indoor regulatory setting Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic as: - It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to invalidate the setting. - A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g., it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still stays indoor. To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that: 1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command to state that it is going to control the indoor setting. 2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in case it is not owned by a user space process. Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can indicate environment changes to the regulatory core. It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment -- while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs typically can contain bogus data.

cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment (indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE. To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed on the same country. A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two different countries. In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another intersection will be performed.

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.

cfg80211: hold reg_mutex when updating regulatory The function wiphy_update_regulatory() uses the static variable last_request and thus needs to be called with reg_mutex held. This is the case for all users in reg.c, but the function was exported for use by wiphy_register(), from where it is called without the lock being held. Fix this by making wiphy_update_regulatory() private and introducing regulatory_update() as a wrapper that acquires and holds the lock.

cfg80211: add cellular base station regulatory hint support Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about where they think we are. This can be done for example on a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the user or coming from a cellular base station. This option is only available when you enable CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS. The base station hints themselves will not be processed by the core unless at least one device on the system supports this feature. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

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. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

But the same is not explicitly stated in FCC DFS requirement. Also, Pre-CAC requriements are not explicitly mentioned in FCC requirement. Current implementation in keeping DFS channel in available state is same as described in ETSI domain. For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

cfg80211: Share Channel DFS state across wiphys of same DFS domain Sharing DFS channel state across multiple wiphys (radios) could be useful with multiple radios on the system. When one radio completes CAC and markes the channel available another radio can use this information and start beaconing without really doing CAC. Whenever there is a state change in dfs channel associated to a particular wiphy the the same state change is propagated to other wiphys having the same DFS reg domain configuration. Also when a new wiphy is created the dfs channel state of other existing wiphys of same DFS domain is copied.

cfg80211: support reloading regulatory database If the regulatory database is loaded, and then updated, it may be necessary to reload it. Add an nl80211 command to do this. Note that this just reloads the database, it doesn't re-apply the rules from it immediately. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: implement regdb signature checking Currently CRDA implements the signature checking, and the previous commits added the ability to load the whole regulatory database into the kernel. However, we really can't lose the signature checking, so implement it in the kernel by loading a detached signature (regulatory.db.p7s) and check it against built-in keys.

cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
