[WIRELESS] cfg80211: New wireless config infrastructure. This patch creates the core cfg80211 code along with some sysfs bits. This is a stripped down version to allow mac80211 to function, but doesn't include any configuration yet except for creating and removing virtual interfaces. This patch includes the nl80211 header file but it only contains the interface types which the cfg80211 interface for creating virtual interfaces relies on.

cfg80211: add rfkill support To be easier on drivers and users, have cfg80211 register an rfkill structure that drivers can access. When soft-killed, simply take down all interfaces; when hard-killed the driver needs to notify us and we will take down the interfaces after the fact. While rfkilled, interfaces cannot be set UP.

cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware file As the current regulatory database is only about 4k big, and already difficult to extend, we decided that overall it would be better to get rid of the complications with CRDA and load the database into the kernel directly, but in a new format that is extensible. The new file format can be extended since it carries a length field on all the structs that need to be extensible. In order to be able to request firmware when the module initializes, move cfg80211 from subsys_initcall() to the later fs_initcall(); the firmware loader is at the same level but linked earlier, so it can be called from there. Otherwise, when both the firmware loader and cfg80211 are built-in, the request will crash the kernel. We also need to be before device_initcall() so that cfg80211 is available for devices when they initialize. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: introduce nl80211 testmode command This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and shouldn't be enabled in most kernels. The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode multicast group). I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement the testmode command. Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and the testmode command only serves as an example of how to use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their own internal fabrication and validation tools.

cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

cfg80211: add CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to be used for features / code which require a bit of work on the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add code in the kernel without impacting compliant code. We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory certification on the system with the enabled features.

It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space.

cfg80211: fix CFG82011_CRDA_SUPPORT still mentioning internal regdb Back with commit c8c240e284b3 (cfg80211: reg: remove support for built-in regdb, 2015-10-15), support for using CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB was removed in favor of loading the regulatory database as firmware file. The documentation of CFG80211_CRDA_SUPPORT was not adjusted, though, which is why it still mentions mentions the old way of loading via the internal regulatory database. Remove it so that the kernel option only mentions using the firmware file.

cfg80211-wext: export symbols only when needed When a fully converted cfg80211 driver needs cfg80211-wext for userspace API purposes, the symbols need not be exported. When other drivers (orinoco/hermes or ipw2200) are enabled, they do need the symbols exported as they use them directly. Make those drivers select a new CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT Kconfig symbol (instead of just CFG80211_WEXT) and export the functions only if requested - this saves about 1/2k due to the size of EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself.

lib80211: fix unmet direct dependendices config warning when !CRYPTO When LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP is enabled and CRYPTO is disabled, it results in unmet direct dependencies config warning. The reason is that LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP selects CRYPTO_AES and CRYPTO_CCM, which are subordinate to CRYPTO. This is reproducible with CRYPTO disabled and R8188EU enabled, where R8188EU selects LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP but does not select or depend on CRYPTO.
