The current implementation of cfg80211_rx_control_port assumed that the
caller could provide a contiguous region of memory for the control port
frame to be sent up to userspace.  Unfortunately, many drivers produce
non-linear skbs, especially for data frames.  This resulted in userspace
getting notified of control port frames with correct metadata (from
address, port, etc) yet garbage / nonsense contents, resulting in bad
handshakes, disconnections, etc.

mac80211 linearizes skbs containing management frames.  But it didn't
seem worthwhile to do this for control port frames.  Thus the signature
of cfg80211_rx_control_port was changed to take the skb directly.
nl80211 then takes care of obtaining control port frame data directly
from the (linear | non-linear) skb.

The caller is still responsible for freeing the skb,
cfg80211_rx_control_port does not take ownership of it.

This adds support for exporting the mac80211 TXQ stats via nl80211 by
way of a nested TXQ stats attribute, as well as for configuring the
quantum and limits that were previously only changeable through debugfs.

This commit adds just the nl80211 API, a subsequent commit adds support to
mac80211 itself.

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-31

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add raw BPF tracepoint API in order to have a BPF program type that
   can access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their
   raw form similar to kprobes based BPF programs. This infrastructure
   also adds a new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN command to BPF syscall which
   returns an anon-inode backed fd for the tracepoint object that allows
   for automatic detach of the BPF program resp. unregistering of the
   tracepoint probe on fd release, from Alexei.

2) Add new BPF cgroup hooks at bind() and connect() entry in order to
   allow BPF programs to reject, inspect or modify user space passed
   struct sockaddr, and as well a hook at post bind time once the port
   has been allocated. They are used in FB's container management engine
   for implementing policy, replacing fragile LD_PRELOAD wrapper
   intercepting bind() and connect() calls that only works in limited
   scenarios like glibc based apps but not for other runtimes in
   containerized applications, from Andrey.

3) BPF_F_INGRESS flag support has been added to sockmap programs for
   their redirect helper call bringing it in line with cls_bpf based
   programs. Support is added for both variants of sockmap programs,
   meaning for tx ULP hooks as well as recv skb hooks, from John.

4) Various improvements on BPF side for the nfp driver, besides others
   this work adds BPF map update and delete helper call support from
   the datapath, JITing of 32 and 64 bit XADD instructions as well as
   offload support of bpf_get_prandom_u32() call. Initial implementation
   of nfp packet cache has been tackled that optimizes memory access
   (see merge commit for further details), from Jakub and Jiong.

5) Removal of struct bpf_verifier_env argument from the print_bpf_insn()
   API has been done in order to prepare to use print_bpf_insn() soon
   out of perf tool directly. This makes the print_bpf_insn() API more
   generic and pushes the env into private data. bpftool is adjusted
   as well with the print_bpf_insn() argument removal, from Jiri.

6) Couple of cleanups and prep work for the upcoming BTF (BPF Type
   Format). The latter will reuse the current BPF verifier log as
   well, thus bpf_verifier_log() is further generalized, from Martin.

7) For bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt() helpers, IPv4 IP_TOS read
   and write support has been added in similar fashion to existing
   IPv6 IPV6_TCLASS socket option we already have, from Nikita.

8) Fixes in recent sockmap scatterlist API usage, which did not use
   sg_init_table() for initialization thus triggering a BUG_ON() in
   scatterlist API when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG was enabled. This adds and
   uses a small helper sg_init_marker() to properly handle the affected
   cases, from Prashant.

9) Let the BPF core follow IDR code convention and therefore use the
   idr_preload() and idr_preload_end() helpers, which would also help
   idr_alloc_cyclic() under GFP_ATOMIC to better succeed under memory
   pressure, from Shaohua.

10) Last but not least, a spelling fix in an error message for the
    BPF cookie UID helper under BPF sample code, from Colin.

<content type='text'>
This commit implements the TX side of NL80211_CMD_CONTROL_PORT_FRAME.
Userspace provides the raw EAPoL frame using NL80211_ATTR_FRAME.
Userspace should also provide the destination address and the protocol
type to use when sending the frame.  This is used to implement TX of
Pre-authentication frames.  If CONTROL_PORT_ETHERTYPE_NO_ENCRYPT is
specified, then the driver will be asked not to encrypt the outgoing
frame.

A new EXT_FEATURE flag is introduced so that nl80211 code can check
whether a given wiphy has capability to pass EAPoL frames over nl80211.

to generate a CMD_CONTROL_PORT_FRAME event out to userspace.  The
conn_owner_nlportid is used as the unicast destination.  This means that
userspace must specify NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER flag if control port
over nl80211 routing is requested in NL80211_CMD_CONNECT,
NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE, NL80211_CMD_START_AP or IBSS/mesh join.

- convert 'type array[]' tracepoint arguments into 'type *array',
  since compiler will warn that sizeof('type array[]') == sizeof('type *array')
  and later should be used instead

The CAST_TO_U64 macro in the later patch will enforce that tracepoint
arguments can only be integers, pointers, or less than 8 byte structures.
Larger structures should be passed by reference.

This interface allows the host driver to offload the authentication to
user space. This is exclusively defined for host drivers that do not
define separate commands for authentication and association, but rely on
userspace SME (e.g., in wpa_supplicant for the ~WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_SME
case) for the authentication to happen. This can be used to implement
SAE without full implementation in the kernel/firmware while still being
able to use NL80211_CMD_CONNECT with driver-based BSS selection.

Host driver sends NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH event to start/abort
authentication to the port on which connect is triggered and status
of authentication is further indicated by user space to host
driver through the same command response interface.

User space entities advertise this capability through the
NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPP flag in the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT request.
Host drivers shall look at this capability to offload the authentication.

Both cfg80211_rx_mgmt and cfg80211_report_obss_beacon functions send
reports to userspace using NL80211_ATTR_RX_SIGNAL_DBM attribute w/o
any processing of their input signal values. Which means that in
order to match userspace tools expectations, input signal values
for those functions are supposed to be in dBm units.

This patch cleans up comments, variable names, and trace reports
for those functions, replacing confusing 'mBm' by 'dBm'.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files

Add API for setting the PMK to the driver. For FT support, allow
setting also the PMK-R0 Name.

This can be used by drivers that support 4-Way handshake offload
while IEEE802.1X authentication is managed by upper layers.
