This patch is derived from
commit 6301566e0b2d ("ath9k: export HW random number generator"),
We evaluated the entropy of the ADC data on QCA9531, QCA9561, QCA955x,
and AR9340, and it has sufficient quality random data (at least 10 bits
and up to 22 bits of min-entropy for a 32-bit value). We conservatively
assume the min-entropy is 10 bits out of 32 bits. Thus, ATH9K_RNG_BUF_SIZE
is set to 320 (u32) i.e., 1.25 kilobytes of data is inserted to fill up
the pool as soon as the entropy counter becomes 896/4096 (set by random.c).
Since ADC was not designed to be a dedicated HW RNG, we do not want to bind
it to /dev/hwrng framework directly. This patch feeds the entropy directly
from the WiFi driver to the input pool. The ADC register output is only
used as a seed for the Linux entropy pool. No conditioning is needed,
since all the conditioning is performed by the pool itself.

Channel contexts are supported only for P2P right now,
so make sure that the 'normal' path remains unaffected
by using a config option. This will also reduce the size
of the driver.

There is no benefit in retaining the legacy rate control module
in the driver codebase.
It is known to be buggy and has less than optimal performance
in real-world environments compared with minstrel. The only
reason that it was kept when we made the switch to minstrel
as default was that it showed higher throughput numbers in a
clean/ideal environment.
This is no longer the case and minstrel can push ath9k to
the same throughput levels. In TCP, with 3-stream cards, more than
295 Mbps can be obtained in open air, with 2-stream cards,
210 Mbps is easily reached. To test performance issues,
instead of using a broken rate control module, it is better
to use the fixed-rate interface provided by mac80211 anyway.
The ath9k RC has not received any bug fixes in years and is
just bit-rotting away - this patch removes it.

Use CONFIG_ATH9K_TX99 to properly enclose the tx99 code
and make sure that it is not compiled as part of the driver
when it is not selected. Move the tx99 code to a new file tx99.c
and also add ATH9K_DEBUGFS as a dependency in Kconfig.
This reduces the module size on platforms like OpenWrt where
ATH9K_DEBUGFS is selected, but TX99 might be disabled.

TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF
exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a
measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density
for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
governmental SAR regulations.
In the examples below, for more bit rate options see the iw TX bitrate
setting documentation:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Modifying_transmit_bitrates
Example usage:
iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor
ip link set dev moni0 up
iw dev moni0 set channel 36 HT40+
iw set bitrates mcs-5 4

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.
Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().
Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")
From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.
3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.
4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.
5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.
6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.
7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.
8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.
9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.
10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.
11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.
12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.
13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.
14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.
15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.
16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.
17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.
18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.
19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.
20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.
21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.
22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.
23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.
24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.
25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.
26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.
28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.
29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.
The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().
Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.
The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.
An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191
Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

Ath9k consists of 2 different sub-modules: ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC.
Both uses common Atheros code from ath.ko and need ATH_COMMON.
However, while ATH9K selects ATH_COMMON, ATH9K_HTC does not.
As result, if ATH9K_HTC is the only Atheros card selected, compilation fails with
unresolved symbols.
This patch moves ATH_COMMON selection to the common part for both
ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC

There are 2 different things:
- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family
- module ath.ko with common Atheros code
Until now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.
Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.
To allow module to belong to the
"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,
2 conditions above need to be separated.
So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging
to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden
variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules
that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.
Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.

Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to
bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the
addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that
can be compiled out this way.
This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for
querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to
eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef.
On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k.

This initial DFS module provides basic functionality to deal
with radar pulses reported by the Atheros DFS HW pulse detector.
The reported data is evaluated and basic plausibility checks
are performed to filter false pulses. Passing radar pulses are
forwarded to pattern detectors which are not yet implemented.
(Some modifications to actually use ATH9K_DFS_DEBUGFS based on comments
from Julian Calaby <julian.calaby@gmail.com>. -- JWL)

Most ath9k devices are PCI/PCIe based, therefor making PCI/PCIe support
default y helps those porting a config from 2.6 kernel series
from getting "non-functional" wireless drivers with 3.x kernel series.

We make oldconfig every time when a new kernel arrives, but
if we don't have such a device(I guess this is the most common
case for a new device), the default value should be 'n' so
that the kernel size we build doesn't grow up too much quickly.
For anyone who has the device, it is OK for them to turn it on
by themselves.

Currently ath9k only available in menuconfig if PCI bus
support is enabled. However the driver is required for
the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132
SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless
MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them.
Introduce separated config options for the supported
buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI
bus support.
As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of
the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the
kernel.

In my setups, ath9k's debugfs files are most of the time much more
useful than the messages generated by enabling CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG along
with the right debug flags.
Since CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG comes with a noticeable overhead on embedded
systems, this patch makes it possible to use the debugfs files without
that option.

ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics.
They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k
works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in
the firmware, but a lot of others on the host.
The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw
module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module,
this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver
specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and
ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid
bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw.
We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand
off to mac80211.

hw code for Atheros 802.11n hardware is commmon between
different chipsets. This moves this code into a separate
module, the next expected user of this code will be
the ath9k_htc module.
The ath9k/ dir is now selected by ATH9K_HW, an option which
gets selected by either ath9k or ath9k_htc, but remains
invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either
ath9k or ath9k_htc will be compiled into the kernel
ath9k_hw will also be compiled in.

ath9k uses this for now, ath9k_htc is expected to re-use this
as well. We lave ath5k as is, but it certainly can also be
converted later.

ath9k supports the AR9002 family of chipsets. This includes
the AR9285 and the miniPCI AR9223 and AR9220 (which themselves
have AR9280+AR5133).
We now refer people to the wiki page as it seems this is not
as popular as we would have hoped.
