45b0684fd1 BACKPORT: {nl,cfg}80211: support high bitrates
Until now, a u16 value was used to represent bitrate value.
With VHT bitrates this becomes too small.

Introduce a new 32-bit bitrate attribute. nl80211 will report
both the new and the old attribute, unless the bitrate doesn't
fit into the old u16 attribute in which case only the new one
will be reported.

User space tools encouraged to prefer the 32-bit attribute, if
available (since it won't be available on older kernels.)

6eee28bb12 cfg80211: Allow TDLS peer AID to be configured for VHT
VHT uses peer AID in the PARTIAL_AID field in TDLS frames. The
current design for TDLS is to first add a dummy STA entry before
completing TDLS Setup and then update information on this STA
entry based on what was received from the peer during the setup
exchange.

In theory, this could use NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID to set
the peer AID just like this is used in AP mode to set the AID
of an association station. However, existing cfg80211 validation
rules prevent this attribute from being used with set_station
operation. To avoid interoperability issues between different
kernel and user space version combinations, introduce a new
nl80211 attribute for the purpose of setting TDLS peer AID.
This attribute can be used in both the new_station and set_station
operations. It is not supposed to be allowed to change the AID
value during the lifetime of the STA entry, but that validation
is left for drivers to do in the change_station callback.

649820b4c4 cfg80211/nl80211: add API for MAC address ACLs
Add API to enable drivers to implement MAC address based
access control in AP/P2P GO mode. Capable drivers advertise
this capability by setting the maximum number of MAC
addresses in such a list in wiphy->max_acl_mac_addrs.

An initial ACL may be given to the NL80211_CMD_START_AP
command and/or changed later with NL80211_CMD_SET_MAC_ACL.

Black- and whitelists are supported, but not simultaneously.

3f913934a5 cfg80211: Pass station (extended) capability info to kernel
The information of the peer's capabilities and extended capabilities are
required for the driver to perform TDLS Peer UAPSD operations and off
channel operations. This information of the peer is passed from user space
using NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION command. This commit enhances
the function nl80211_set_station to pass the capability information of
the peer to the driver.

Similarly, there may be need for capability information for other modes,
so allow this to be provided with both add_station and change_station.

7f62074388 cfg80211: Add TDLS event to allow drivers to request operations
The NL80211_CMD_TDLS_OPER command was previously used only for userspace
request for the kernel code to perform TDLS operations. However, there
are also cases where the driver may need to request operations from
userspace, e.g., when using security on the AP path. Add a new cfg80211
function for generating a TDLS operation event for drivers to request a
new link to be set up (NL80211_TDLS_SETUP) or an existing link to be
torn down (NL80211_TDLS_TEARDOWN). Drivers can optionally use these
events, e.g., based on noticing data traffic being sent to a peer
station that is seen with good signal strength.

1b658f118b cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP mode
This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT,
to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the
station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP
and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but
don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity
timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

8860020e0b cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode API
The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it
has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc.

Modify the API to the following:
 * start AP -- all settings
 * change beacon -- new beacon data
 * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation

This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename
the commands there correspondingly (but keep
the old names for compatibility.)

Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going
on in the API.

The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are

Attemping to disable features that are not supported will
take no affect, but will not return errors.  This is to aid

NL80211_CMD_TDLS_OPER and NL80211_CMD_TDLS_MGMT, respectively. Add
appropriate cfg80211 callbacks for lower level drivers.

Add wiphy capability flags for TDLS support and advertise them via
nl80211.

e9f935e3e8 nl80211/cfg80211: Add support to disable CCK rate for management frame
Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management
frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling
CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe
request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz
without disabling 11b rates.

This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and
NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame
transmission.

c9df56b48e cfg80211/nl80211: Add PMKSA caching candidate event
When the driver (or most likely firmware) decides which AP to use
for roaming based on internal scan result processing, user space
needs to be notified of PMKSA caching candidates to allow RSN
pre-authentication to be used.

a1f1c21c18 nl80211/cfg80211: add match filtering for sched_scan
Introduce filtering for scheduled scans to reduce the number of
unnecessary results (which cause useless wake-ups).

Add a new nested attribute where sets of parameters to be matched can
be passed when starting a scheduled scan.  Only scan results that
match any of the sets will be returned.

At this point, the set consists of a single parameter, an SSID.  This
can be easily extended in the future to support more complex matches.

f4b34b550a cfg80211/nl80211: Indicate roaming feature capability to userspace.
When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the
firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to
associate. Since firmware based roaming is faster, inform
wpa_supplicant to avoid roaming and let the firmware decide to
roam if necessary.

For fullmac drivers like ath6kl, it is just enough to provide the
ESSID and the firmware will decide on the BSSID. Since it is not
possible to do pre-auth during roaming for fullmac drivers, the
wpa_supplicant needs to completely disconnect with the old AP and
reconnect with the new AP. This consumes lot of time and it is
better to leave the roaming decision to the firmware.

34850ab25d cfg80211: allow userspace to control supported rates in scan
Some P2P scans are not allowed to advertise
11b rates, but that is a rather special case
so instead of having that, allow userspace
to request the rate sets (per band) that are
advertised in scan probe request frames.

Since it's needed in two places now, factor
out some common code parsing a rate array.
