b6ce5c3300 ath9k: Fix TX poll routine
Disable the TX hang monitoring routine when doing a scan.
Monitoring for a hung situation is not really necessary during
a scan run.

9da3e06814 mac80211: only bother printing highest data rate on debugfs if its set
IEEE-802.11n spec says the RX highest data rate field does

When debugging you want to be lazy and not have to parse

Clean out some cruft that could use an already existing
sta_info struct -- that case cannot happen. Also, there's
a bug there -- if allocation/insertion fails then it is
possible that we are left in a lingering state where
mac80211 waits for the AP, cfg80211 waits for mac80211,
but the AP has already replied. Since there's no way to
indicate an internal error, pretend there was a timeout,
i.e. that the AP never responded.

5fba4af32c cfg80211: avoid sending spurious deauth to userspace
Before

  Author: Holger Schurig <hs4233@mail.mn-solutions.de>
  Date:   Tue Oct 13 13:45:28 2009 +0200

      cfg80211: remove warning in deauth case

we assumed that drivers never give us spurious deauth
frames because they filter them out based on the auth
state they keep track of. This turned out to be racy,
because userspace might deauth while the AP is also
sending a deauth frame, so the warning was removed.

However, in that case we should not tell userspace
about the AP's frame if it requested deauth "first",
where "first" means it came to cfg80211 first.

5de42f9eea rt2x00: Fix rt2800usb RX frame format and as such L2PAD
According to Ralink source code, the RX frame format is RXINFO + RXWI +
802.11 frame + RXD, including various padding. Before this patch, we
were using RXD + RXWI + 802.11 frame, so RXD was not correct.

Doing this, we fix the L2PAD bit which is now correctly set on received
frames.

9c8427d9de rt2x00: Disable RX aggregation for rt2800usb
RX aggregation is a way to receive multiple 802.11 frames in one RX buffer.
However, we don't know yet how to handle this case in rt2800usb_fill_rxdone
and this has probably no impact on RX performance as well, so we disable it

2e331462fc rt2x00: Reorganize L2 padding inserting function.
Simplify the rt2x00queue_insert_l2pad function by handling the alignment
operations one by one. Do not special case special circumstances.
Basically first perform header alignment, and then perform payload alignment
(if any payload does exist). This results in a properly aligned skb.

The end result is better readable code, with better results, as now L2 padding
is inserted only when a payload is actually present in the frame.

354e39dbb1 rt2x00: Remove SKBDESC_L2_PADDED flag.
With the improved L2 padding code, this flag is no longer necessary, as the
rt2x00queue_remove_l2pad is capable of detecting by itself if L2 padding is
applied.
For received frames the RX descriptor flag is still being checked.

77e73d1849 rt2x00: Further L2 padding fixes.
Fix a couple of more bugs in the L2 padding code:
1. Compute the amount of L2 padding correctly (in 3 places).
2. Trim the skb correctly when the L2 padding has been applied.

Also introduce a central macro the compute the L2 padding size.

1398d4580e rt2x00 : trim the skb after having the l2pad removed.
Otherwise we end up truncating the skb before removing the l2pad
thus we might have the truncated part become garbage while getting
it back in remove_l2pad.
For the same issue: remove the skb_trim from the rt2800 fill_rxdone
(it is done after l2pad removal in rt2x00lib_rxdone).

4309af2735 iwlwifi: remove extra error msg on sensitivity calibration
Do not need to log error when fail the sensitivity command, driver will send
sensitivity write command to uCode after each sensitivity calibration if
station is associated with AP. It is a normal case when user unload the module
or shutdown the system while still associated with the AP, since uCode already
on the way down, it will not reply the sensitivity write request; report
error in this case will give misleading information, remove the error checking
here to provide a clean shutdown if no other error detected.

This feature enables the on-screen uCode event log dump. The original
method will append the event log to syslog; with this capability,
we also enable the user to write script to capture the
events which provide additional flexibility to help uCode debugging

Method
1) change to debugfs directory (sys/kernel/debug/phyX/iwlagn/data)
2) #cat log_event

a9e1cb6a78 iwlwifi: add continuous uCode event log capability
In order to help uCode debugging, adding the capability to provide
continuous uCode event logging function.

uCode events is located in round-robin event queue and filled by uCode,
by enable continuous event logging, driver check the write pointer
and log the newly added events in iwl_bg_ucode_trace() timer function.

There is still possibility of missing events if event queue being
wrapped before next event dump; but with this capability, we can have
much better understanding of the uCode behavior during runtime; it can
help to debug the uCode related issues.

Methods to enable/disable the continuous event log:
step 1: enable ucode trace timer
     "echo 1 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
step 2: start ftrace
     sudo ./trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi_ucode:* sleep 1d
step 3: stop ftrace
     sudo ./trace-cmd report trace.dat
step 4: disable ucode trace timer
     "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"

use "ucode_tracing" debugfs file to display number of event
queue wrapped when driver attempt the continuous event logging. If event
queue being wrapped more than once when driver has opportunity to log
the event; it indicated there are events missing in the event log trace.

This continuous event log function only available for 4965 and newer
NICs.

3b377ea9d4 wireless: support internal statically compiled regulatory database
This patch provides infrastructure for machine translation of the
regulatory rules database used by CRDA into a C data structure.
It includes code for searching that database as an alternative
to dynamic regulatory rules updates via CRDA.  Most people should
use CRDA instead of this infrastructure, but it provides a better
alternative than the WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY infrastructure (which
can now be removed).
