2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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 & 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 >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <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.

2017-03-06cfg80211: Share Channel DFS state across wiphys of same DFS domainVasanthakumar Thiagarajan1-0/+10
Sharing DFS channel state across multiple wiphys (radios) could be useful with multiple radios on the system. When one radio completes CAC and markes the channel available another radio can use this information and start beaconing without really doing CAC. Whenever there is a state change in dfs channel associated to a particular wiphy the the same state change is propagated to other wiphys having the same DFS reg domain configuration. Also when a new wiphy is created the dfs channel state of other existing wiphys of same DFS domain is copied.

2017-03-06cfg80211: Make pre-CAC results valid only for ETSI domainVasanthakumar Thiagarajan1-9/+31
DFS requirement for ETSI domain (section 4.7.1.4 in ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1) is the only one which explicitly states that once DFS channel is marked as available afer the CAC, this channel will remain in available state even moving to a different operating channel. But the same is not explicitly stated in FCC DFS requirement. Also, Pre-CAC requriements are not explicitly mentioned in FCC requirement. Current implementation in keeping DFS channel in available state is same as described in ETSI domain. For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

Add support to use a random local address (Address 2 = TA in transmit and the same address in receive functionality) for Public Action frames in order to improve privacy of WLAN clients. Applications fill the random transmit address in the frame buffer in the NL80211_CMD_FRAME command. This can be used only with the drivers that indicate support for random local address by setting the new NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA and/or NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA_CONNECTED in ext_features. The driver needs to configure receive behavior to accept frames to the specified random address during the time the frame exchange is pending and such frames need to be acknowledged similarly to frames sent to the local permanent address when this random address functionality is not used.

2016-12-09cfg80211/mac80211: fix BSS leaks when abandoning assoc attemptsJohannes Berg1-0/+12
When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free all the data structures, but inform cfg80211 and userspace about it only by sending the deauth frame it received, in which case cfg80211 has no link to the BSS struct that was used and will not cfg80211_unhold_bss() it. Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with the BSS entry passed, so that it can clean up properly, and use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211. This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and tracing is missing. However, it's a fairly small change and it's thus easier to backport - cleanups can come later.

Instead of doing asynchronous work here in mac80211, make it possible for the callback to sleep by doing some asynchronous work in cfg80211. This also enables improvements to other drivers, like ath6kl, that would like to sleep in this callback. While at it, also fix the code to call the driver on the implicit unregistration when an interface is removed, and do that also when a P2P-Device wdev is destroyed (otherwise we leak the structs.)

The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP". In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val" no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)

The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been causing issues for a long time. There are three things that the implementation has to provide: * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect() call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is really just mac80211) and wireless extensions * MLME events for the userspace SME * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all different SME implementation possibilities (driver, cfg80211 and userspace) To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the software SME's connection status outside of it's state (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead, track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the general case only track whether the wdev is connected or not (via wdev->current_bss.) Also separate the internal implementation to not have callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211) calls. This separates the code better. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-04-22cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-spaceArend van Spriel1-0/+5
Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP. There can be only on critical protocol session started per registered cfg80211 device. The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver.

The advantage is reduced code, both source and binary, e.g. on x86-64 text data bss dec hex filename 442825 56230 776 499831 7a077 cfg80211.ko (before) 441585 56230 776 498591 79b9f cfg80211.ko (after) a reduction of ~1k. But in order to not complicate the code move only those functions that are simple wrappers, not those that have functionality of their own. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15nl80211/cfg80211: add radar detection command/eventSimon Wunderlich1-0/+120
Add new NL80211_CMD_RADAR_DETECT, which starts the Channel Availability Check (CAC). This command will also notify the usermode about events (CAC finished, CAC aborted, radar detected, NOP finished). Once radar detection has started it should continuously monitor for radars as long as the channel is active. This patch enables DFS for AP mode in nl80211/cfg80211.

This prepares for using the spinlock instead of krefs which is needed in the next patch to track the refs of combined BSSes correctly. Acked-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> [mwifiex] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-29cfg80211: add SME state to warning in __cfg80211_mlme_disassocJohannes Berg1-1/+1
The warning here occasionally triggers but we haven't found the cause yet. It's a valid warning since if it triggers the SME state got confused, so add the SME state to it to help narrow it down in the future. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-26cfg80211: pass a channel definition structJohannes Berg1-10/+5
Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this will change. Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the new structure all the time, which will change.

2012-11-26cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel typeJohannes Berg1-15/+6
As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

Avoid situation when we are on associate state in mac80211 and on disassociate state in cfg80211. This can results on crash during modules unload (like showed on this thread: http://marc.info/?t=134373976300001&r=1&w=2) and possibly other problems.
