When drivers or regulatory have limitations on
40, 80 or 160 MHz channels, advertise these to
userspace via nl80211. Also add a new feature
flag to let userspace know this is supported.

Some drivers might support 80 or 160 MHz only on some
channels for whatever reason, so allow them to disable
these channel widths. Also maintain the new flags when
regulatory bandwidth limitations would disable these
wide channels.

A while ago, I made the mac80211 station code never change
the channel type after association. This solved a number of
issues but is ultimately wrong, we should react if the AP
changes the HT operation IE and switches bandwidth. One of
the issues is that we associate as HT40 capable, but if the
AP ever switches to 40 MHz we won't be able to receive such
frames because we never set our channel to 40 MHz.
This addresses this and VHT operation changes. If there's a
change that is incompatible with our setup, e.g. if the AP
decides to change the channel entirely (and for some reason
we still hear the beacon) we'll just disconnect.

For HT and VHT the current bandwidth can change,
add the function ieee80211_vif_change_bandwidth()
to take care of this. It returns a failure if the
new bandwidth isn't compatible with the existing
channel context, the caller has to handle that.
When it happens, also inform the driver that the
bandwidth changed for this virtual interface (no
drivers would actually care today though.)
Changing to/from HT/VHT isn't allowed though.

Having HT/VHT operation IEs but not capability IEs
leads to a strange situation where we configure the
channel to an HT or VHT bandwidth and then can't
actually use it. Prevent this by checking that the
HT and VHT capability IEs are present as well as
the operation IEs; if not, disable HT and/or VHT.

In beacons and association response frames an AP may include an
operating mode notification element to advertise changes in the
number of spatial streams it can receive. Handle this using the
existing function that handles the action frame, but only handle
NSS changes, not bandwidth changes which aren't allowed here.

In case of connection, the station data is initialised from
the beacon/probe response first and then updated from the
association response. If the latter is different we update
the rate control algorithm and driver. Instead of doing it
this way, set the station data properly with data from the
association response before initializing rate control.
Also simplify the code by passing the station pointer.

With VHT, a station can change the number of spatial
streams it can receive on the fly, not unlike spatial
multiplexing in HT. Prepare for that by tracking the

the connection is established.

For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
station. Of course, make all drivers use it.
To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
so it can set up the new bandwidth field.
If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
also set the bandwidth accordingly.
Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
the current setting.
While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
really happens...)

Like with HT, make things a bit simpler in future patches by
passing the station to ieee80211_vht_cap_ie_to_sta_vht_cap()
instead of the vht_cap pointer. Also disable VHT here if HT
isn't supported.

Since no driver calls the TKIP functions from interrupt
context, there's no need to use spin_lock_irqsave().
Just use spin_lock_bh() (and spin_lock() in the TX path
where we're in a BH or they're already disabled.)

Since the idle decision rework, mac80211 started calling
bss_info_changed() for the driver's monitor interface,
which causes a crash for iwlwifi, but drivers generally
don't expect this to happen. Therefore, avoid it.
While at it, also prevent calling it in such cases and
only print a warning. For the P2P Device interface the
idle will no longer be called (no channel context), so
also prevent that and warn on it.

In my commit 1672c0e31917f49d31d30d79067103432bc20cc7
("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status")
I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait
for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set
to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being
before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs
for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as
having timed out.
Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started"
variable that tracks whether the timeout has started
and is checked before timing out.
Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change
requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all
the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is
sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent.
If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing
from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata. The correct sdata is
required to use the correct per-vlan broadcast/multicast key.
This patch fixes this by restoring the per-vlan sdata using the skb->dev entry.

We do lazy FP but not lazy TM (ie. userspace starts with MSR TM=1 FP=0). Hence
if userspace does an FP instruction during a transaction, we'll take an
fp unavailable exception.
This adds functions needed to handle this case. We have to inject the current
FP state into the checkpoint so that the hardware can decide what to do with
the transaction. We can't inject only the FP so we have to do a full treclaim
and recheckpoint to inject just the FP state. This will cause the transaction
to be marked as aborted by the hardware.
This just add the routines needed to do this for FP, VMX and VSX. It doesn't
hook them into the rest of the code yet.

transactional memory processes
When we switch out a task, we need to save both the checkpointed and the
speculated state into the thread struct.
Similarly when we are switching in a task we need to load both the checkpointed
and speculated state. If the task was using FP, we non-lazily reload both the
original and the speculative FP register states. This is because the kernel
doesn't see if/when a TM rollback occurs, so if we take an FP unavoidable
later, we are unable to determine which set of FP regs need to be restored.
This simply adds these functions. It doesn't hook them into the existing code
yet.

Here we define the new instructions we need for transactional memory in the
kernel. This is so we can support compiling with binutils that don't support
the new transactional memory instructions.
Transactional memory results in two sets of architected state (GPRs/VSRs
etc).
treclaim allows us to read the checkpointed state (from the tbegin) so that we
can store it away on a context switch. It does this by overwriting the exiting
architected state, so you have to save that away before you treclaim. treclaim
will also abort a transaction, so you can give a register value which contains
an abort reason.
trecheckpoint allows us to inject into the checkpointed state as if it were at
the tbegin. It does this by copying the current architected state into the
checkpointed state.

In commit 466921c we added a hack to set the paca data_offset to zero so
that per-cpu accesses would work on the boot cpu prior to per-cpu areas
being setup. This fixed a problem with lockdep touching per-cpu areas
very early in boot.
However if we combine CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y with any of the PPC_EARLY_DEBUG
options, we can hit the same problem in udbg_early_init(). To avoid that
we need to set the data_offset of the boot_paca also. So factor out the
fixup logic and call it for both the boot_paca, and "the paca of the
boot cpu".
