Add an NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH flag that causes old bss cache entries to be flushed on scan completion. This is useful for collecting guaranteed fresh scan/survey result (e.g. on resume). For normal scan, flushing only happens on successful completion of a scan; i.e. it does not happen if the scan is aborted. For scheduled scan, previous scan results are flushed everytime when we get new scan results. This feature is enabled by default. Drivers can disable it by unsetting the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_FLUSH flag.

The next patch will introduce a flag that is set by default in cfg80211 so drivers and mac80211 need to use |= to set features they have so that they don't clear the already-set feature. We could set the flag in wiphy_register() instead of wiphy_new() to avoid this patch, but then the drivers couldn't *unset* flags they don't want to use even though the implementation is generic.

Add NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_LOW_PRIORITY flag support. It tells drivers that this is a low priority scan request, so that they can take necessary action.

SAE uses two rounds of Authentication frames and both rounds require considerable calculation to be done. This commit extends the existing station mode authentication request to allow more control for user space programs to build the SAE fields and to run the authentication step ones. Only the second round with authentication transaction sequence 2 will result in moving to authenticated state.

Drivers may need to iterate the active channel contexts, export an iterator function to allow that. To make it possible, use RCU-safe list functions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

Depending on the driver, channel contexts may be used or not. If they are used, the driver must have support for hardware scan and remain-on-channel; otherwise the driver must not advertise support for multiple channels. Also prohibit WDS type interfaces when channel contexts are to be used as there's no clear definition of which channel they use. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Channel context are the foundation for multi-channel operation.

The hostprogs need access to the CONFIG_* symbols found in include/generated/autoconf.h. But commit abbf1590 ("UAPI: Partition the header include path sets and add uapi/ header directories") replaced $(LINUXINCLUDE) with $(USERINCLUDE) which doesn't contain the necessary include paths. This has the undesirable effect of breaking the EFI boot stub because the #ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB code in arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c is never compiled. It should also be noted that because $(USERINCLUDE) isn't exported by the top-level Makefile it's actually empty in arch/x86/boot/Makefile. Cc: H.

Pull ARM update from Russell King: "This is the final round of stuff for ARM, left until the end of the merge window to reduce the number of conflicts. This set contains the ARM part of David Howells UAPI changes, and a fix to the ordering of 'select' statements in ARM Kconfig files (see the appropriate commit for why this happened - thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the problem.) I've left this as long as I dare for this window to avoid conflicts, and I regenerated the config patch yesterday, posting it to our mailing list for review and testing. I have several acks which include successful test reports for it. However, today I notice we've got new conflicts with previously unseen code... though that conflict should be trivial (it's my changes vs a one liner.)" * 'late-for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: ARM: config: make sure that platforms are ordered by option string ARM: config: sort select statements alphanumerically UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/arm/include/asm Fix up fairly conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig (the select re-organization vs recent addition of GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE)

Pull UAPI disintegration for include/linux/{,byteorder/}*.h from David Howells: "The patches contained herein do the following: (1) Remove kernel-only stuff in linux/ppp-comp.h from the UAPI. I checked this with Paul Mackerras before I created the patch and he suggested some extra bits to unexport. (2) Remove linux/blk_types.h entirely from the UAPI as none of it is userspace applicable, and remove from the UAPI that part of linux/fs.h that was the reason for linux/blk_types.h being exported in the first place. I discussed this with Jens Axboe before creating the patch. (3) The big patch of the series to disintegrate include/linux/*.h as a unit. This could be split up, though there would be collisions in moving stuff between the two Kbuild files when the parts are merged as that file is sorted alphabetically rather than being grouped by subsystem. Of this set of headers, 17 files have changed in the UAPI exported region since the 4th and only 8 since the 9th so there isn't much change in this area - as one might expect. It should be pretty obvious and straightforward if it does come to fixing up: stuff in __KERNEL__ guards stays where it is and stuff outside moves to the same file in the include/uapi/linux/ directory. If a new file appears then things get a bit more complicated as the "headers +=" line has to move to include/uapi/linux/Kbuild. Only one new file has appeared since the 9th and I judge this type of event relatively unlikely. (4) A patch to disintegrate include/linux/byteorder/*.h as a unit.

As suggested by Andrew Morton: This is a pet peeve of mine. Any time there's a long list of items (header file inclusions, kconfig entries, array initalisers, etc) and someone wants to add a new item, they *always* go and stick it at the end of the list. Guys, don't do this. Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list. lets sort all our select statements alphanumerically. This commit was created by the following perl: while (<>) { while (/\\\s*$/) { $_ .= <>; } undef %selects if /^\s*config\s+/; if (/^\s+select\s+(\w+).*/) { if (defined($selects{$1})) { if ($selects{$1} eq $_) { print STDERR "Warning: removing duplicated $1 entry\n"; } else { print STDERR "Error: $1 differently selected\n". "\tOld: $selects{$1}\n". "\tNew: $_\n"; exit 1; } } $selects{$1} = $_; next; } if (%selects and (/^\s*$/ or /^\s+help/ or /^\s+---help---/ or /^endif/ or /^endchoice/)) { foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) { print "$selects{$k}"; } undef %selects; } print; } if (%selects) { foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) { print "$selects{$k}"; } } It found two duplicates: Warning: removing duplicated S5P_SETUP_MIPIPHY entry Warning: removing duplicated HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND entry and they are identical duplicates, hence the shrinkage in the diffstat of two lines.
