ieee80211_vif_change_channel() locks chanctx_mtx. When implementing channel reservation for CS, we will need to call the function to change channel when the lock is already held, so split the part that requires the lock out and leave the locking in the original function.

It was impossible to change chanctx of master AP for AP VLANs because the copy function requires RTNL which can't be simply taken in mac80211 code due to possible deadlocks. This is required for future chanctx reservation that re-bind vifs to new chanctx. This requires safe AP VLAN iteration without RTNL. Now VLANs can be iterated while holding either RTNL or local->mtx because the list is modified while holding both of these locks.

Get rid of the cfg80211_can_add_interface() and cfg80211_can_change_interface() functions by moving that functionality to mac80211. With this patch all interface combination checks are now out of cfg80211 (except for the channel switch case which will be addressed in a future commit). Additionally, modify the ieee80211_check_combinations() function so that an undefined chandef can be passed, in order to use it before a channel is defined.

Move the counting part of the interface combination check from cfg80211 to mac80211. This is needed to simplify locking when the driver has to perform a combination check by itself (eg. with channel-switch).

Separate the code that counts the interface types and channels from the code that check the interface combinations.

Allow GO operation on a channel marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT iff there is an active station interface that is associated to an AP operating on the same channel in the 2 GHz band or the same UNII band (in the 5 GHz band). This relaxation is not allowed if the channel is marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR. Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions, that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities. It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space. Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

The FCC are clarifying some soft configuration requirements, which among other include the following: 1. Indoor operation, where a device can use channels requiring indoor operation, subject to that it can guarantee indoor operation, i.e., the device is connected to AC Power or the device is under the control of a local master that is acting as an AP and is connected to AC Power. 2. Concurrent GO operation, where devices may instantiate a P2P GO while they are under the guidance of an authorized master. For example, on a channel on which a BSS is connected to an authorized master, i.e., with DFS and radar detection capability in the UNII band. See https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=327&tn=528122 Add support for advertising Indoor-only and GO-Concurrent channel properties.

Wdev->ssid_len has already been set in cfg80211_connect() and is equal to connect->ssid_len. Use wdev->ssid_len instead of connect->ssid_len so it will be consistent with previous ssid assignment statement. If bss is found in cfg80211_get_conn_bss(), wdev->conn->state is set to CFG80211_CONN_AUTHENTICATE_NEXT in there. So it's not needed to set it manually to CFG80211_CONN_AUTHENTICATE_NEXT if bss is found in that function.

Johannes Berg authored
When dynamically creating interfaces from userspace, e.g. for P2P usage, such interfaces are usually owned by the process that created them, i.e. wpa_supplicant. Should wpa_supplicant crash, such interfaces will often cease operating properly and cause problems on restarting the process. To avoid this problem, introduce an ownership concept for interfaces. If an interface is owned by a netlink socket, then it will be destroyed if the netlink socket is closed for any reason, including if the process it belongs to crashed. This gives us a race-free way to get rid of any such interfaces. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on some Windows games, and other important fixes for Windows guests. We now expose to the guest Broadwell instruction set extensions and also Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested virtualization features (preemption timer), and a couple kvmclock refinements.

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more complicated than usual. This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge window. I will describe it a bit more further down. There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it. Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next. Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the removal patch. Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters (also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet). We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware (non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along with a hwmon driver for the latter. There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes, and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy loops.

Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin: "Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago. This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME. It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion) and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now called compat_convert_timespec() with that function" * 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: compat: Fix sparse address space warnings compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin: "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups. This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come. This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty. Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release. This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this cycle. An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space this had the potential of information leaks" * 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) x86, vdso: Fix the symbol versions on the 32-bit vDSO x86, vdso, build: Don't rebuild 32-bit vdsos on every make x86, vdso: Actually discard the .discard sections x86, vdso: Fix size of get_unmapped_area() x86, vdso: Finish removing VDSO32_PRELINK x86, vdso: Move more vdso definitions into vdso.h x86: Load the 32-bit vdso in place, just like the 64-bit vdsos x86, vdso32: handle 32 bit vDSO larger one page x86, vdso32: Disable stack protector, adjust optimizations x86, vdso: Zero-pad the VVAR page x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernel x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernel x86, vdso: Patch alternatives in the 32-bit VDSO x86, vdso: Introduce VVAR marco for vdso32 x86, vdso: Cleanup __vdso_gettimeofday() x86, vdso: Replace VVAR(vsyscall_gtod_data) by gtod macro x86, vdso: __vdso_clock_gettime() cleanup x86, vdso: Revamp vclock_gettime.c mm: Add new func _install_special_mapping() to mmap.c x86, vdso: Make vsyscall_gtod_data handling x86 generic ...

Pull x86 boot changes from Peter Anvin: "This patchset is a set of cleanups aiming at librarize some of the common code from the boot environments. We currently have three different "little environments" (boot, boot/compressed, and realmode/rm) in x86, and we are likely to soon get a fourth one (kexec/purgatory, which will have to be integrated in the kernel to support secure kexec). This is primarily a cleanup in the anticipation of the latter. While Vivek implemented this, he ran into some bugs, in particular the memcmp implementation for when gcc punts from using the builtin would have a misnamed symbol, causing compilation errors if we were ever unlucky enough that gcc didn't want to inline the test" * 'x86/boot' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, boot: Move memset() definition in compressed/string.c x86, boot: Move memcmp() into string.h and string.c x86, boot: Move optimized memcpy() 32/64 bit versions to compressed/string.c x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions x86, boot: Undef memcmp before providing a new definition

Commit 2223f6f6 "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" changed the irq_stack processing a little from what it was before. The irq_stack_end variable needed to be cleared after its first use. By setting irq_stack to the per cpu irq_stack and passing that to analyze_stack(), and then clearing it after it is processed, we can get back the original behavior.

Commit 2223f6f6 "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" moved the used variable to a local within the loop, but the in_exception_stack() depended on being non-volatile with the ability to change it. By always re-initializing the "used" variable to zero, it would cause the in_exception_stack() to return the same thing each time, and cause the dump_stack loop to go into an infinite loop.
