    cfg80211: allow registering to beacons

allowed only a single process to register for beacon events
per wiphy.  This breaks cases where a user may want two or
more VIFs on a wiphy and run a seperate hostapd process on
each vif.

This patch allows multiple beacon listeners, fixing the
regression.

This new callback can be used to tune the rate to be used to send
multicast frames.

In the current state the multicast rate can be specified on IBSS/MESH
joining only. This makes it impossible to select a custom multicast
rate when then join command is sent by an external program (e.g.
wpa_supplicant)

When userspace asks to deauthenticate and we're just
authenticated (or still authenticating) send a deauth
frame instead of deleting the auth request.

On the other hand, if we've just disassociated and
therefore deleted all our state already, drop the
deauth request because we no longer have a channel
context to send it on.

Instead of using the pointer which can be re-used
fairly quickly due to allocator patterns and then
makes debugging difficult, maintain a counter and
use its value. Since it's a 64-bit value it can't
really wrap, but catch that case anyway since it
most likely points to a bug somewhere.

The TX status reporting is done for both the
nl80211 report as well as the socket option.
The socket option is also reported when an
skb is dropped to guarantee that the copy in
the IDR tree is freed and status is reported
to userspace.

However, when a frame is dropped, no nl80211
status is reported. This can cause userspace
to stop making progress while waiting for a
status notification.

Combine the nl80211 and socket option status
reporting into a new function and call it in
both places -- when the status comes in from
the driver and when the skb is dropped.

While at it, also simplify the code in the
nl80211 portion a bit.

Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a
single global TX power limit was already problematic,
in particular if two managed interfaces connected to
two APs with different power constraints. The channel
context introduction completely broke this though and
in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there
for drivers using channel contexts.

Change everything to track TX power per interface so
that different user settings and different channel
maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking
the global TX power though for compatibility with
applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's
TX power globally.
Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware
device) but with multi-channel capabilities that doesn't
make much sense any more.

Allow drivers (and mac80211) to advertise support for
per-interface TX power configuration. When the TX power
is configured for the wiphy, the wdev will be NULL and
the driver can still handle that, but when a wdev is
given the TX power can be set only for that wdev now.

The code to allow EAPOL frames even when the station
isn't yet marked associated needs to check that the
incoming frame is long enough and due to paged RX it
also can't assume skb->data contains the right data,
it must use skb_copy_bits(). Fix this to avoid using
data that doesn't really exist.

A number of places in the mesh code don't check that
the frame data is present and in the skb header when
trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary
pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data
that doesn't actually exist.

To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be
able to use it in mac80211.

Due to pskb_may_pull() checking the skb length, all
non-management frames are checked on input whether
their 802.11 header is fully present. Also add that
check for management frames and remove a check that
is now duplicate. This prevents accessing skb data
beyond the frame end.

The 'ssid' field of the cfg80211_ibss_params is a u8 pointer and
its length is likely to be less than IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN most
of the time.

This patch fixes the ssid copy in ieee80211_ibss_join() by using
the SSID length to prevent it from reading beyond the string.

This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or
ad-hoc powersave clients.
The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are
moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure
that can be embedded into any interface type.
The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy
extension with different interface types. For example with:

+ } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) {
+         ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps;

Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they
were obviously not used.

The patch compiles without warning and has been briefly tested as AP
interface with one client in PS mode.

If the user wants to scan using a vif configured as AP,
cfg80211 must give him a chance to do it, even if this
will disrupt the stations performance due to off-channel
scanning. To do so, this patch adds a 'force' flag to the
SCAN_TRIGGER command which tells cfg80211 to perform the
scanning operation even if the vif is an AP and the
beaconing has already started.

of wiphy_new() to avoid this patch, but then the

Some changes to fix issues with HT40 APs in Korea
and follow-up changes to allow using HT40 even if
the local regulatory database disallows it caused
issues with iwlwifi (and could cause issues with
other devices); iwlwifi firmware would assert if
you tried to connect to an AP that has an invalid
configuration (e.g. using HT40- on channel 140.)

Fix this, while avoiding the "Korean AP" issue by
disabling HT40 and advertising HT20 to the AP
when connecting.
