3092ad0544 mac80211: fix NULL pointer dereference when ftrace is enabled
I got below kernel oops when I try to bring down the network interface if
ftrace is enabled. The root cause is drv_ampdu_action() is passed with a
NULL ssn pointer in the BA session tear down case. We need to check and
avoid dereferencing it in trace entry assignment.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

f911ab83a2 mac80211: log more data when tracing
Enable logging of more configuration data when tracing
is enabled. Except for the channel frequency this is
only useful with the binary trace format, but that can
be recorded and replayed with trace-cmd and I will be
working on a plugin that reports all the information.

c951ad3550 mac80211: convert aggregation to operate on vifs/stas
The entire aggregation code currently operates on the
hw pointer and station addresses, but that needs to
change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step
preparing for that make the aggregation code callable
with the station, or by the combination of virtual
interface and station address.

3ac64beecd mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep
Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.

A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

0a2b8bb24d mac80211: driver operation debugging
This makes mac80211 use the event tracing framework
to log all operations as given to the driver. This
will need to be extended with more information, but
as a start it should be good.
