fcd09c90c3 ath9k: use hw_random API instead of directly dumping into random.c
Hardware random number generators are supposed to use the hw_random
framework. This commit turns ath9k's kthread-based design into a proper
hw_random driver.

3b9ea7206d ath9k: fix transmitting to stations in dynamic SMPS mode
When transmitting to a receiver in dynamic SMPS mode, all transmissions that
use multiple spatial streams need to be sent using CTS-to-self or RTS/CTS to
give the receiver's extra chains some time to wake up.
This fixes the tx rate getting stuck at <= MCS7 for some clients, especially
Intel ones, which make aggressive use of SMPS.

6df0580be8 ath9k: add back support for using active monitor interfaces for tx99
Various documented examples on how to set up tx99 with ath9k rely
on setting up a regular monitor interface for setting the channel.
My previous patch "ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface" made
it possible to set it up this way again. However, it was removing support
for using an active monitor interface, which is required for controlling
the bitrate as well, since the bitrate is not passed down with a regular
monitor interface.

This patch partially reverts the previous one, but keeps support for using
a regular monitor interface to keep documented steps working in cases
where the bitrate does not matter

3a5e969bb2 ath9k: fix race condition in enabling/disabling IRQs
The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the
IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run.

However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be
called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the
middle of a reset).

This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will
get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped
and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this).

Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that
running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the
refcount untouched.

63fefa0504 ath9k: Introduce airtime fairness scheduling between stations
This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected
stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It
accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or
receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to
a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based
deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which
station gets the next transmission opportunity.

Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network
when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a
simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the
highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is
employed at the access point:

                  Before   /   After
Fast station 1:    19.17   /   25.09 Mbps
Fast station 2:    19.83   /   25.21 Mbps
Slow station:       2.58   /    1.77 Mbps
Total:             41.58   /   52.07 Mbps

The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present.
In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps,
we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

50f08edf98 ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.
This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software
queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the
driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when
a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was
pulled but can't be sent immediately.

The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been
removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no
longer a queue in the driver to limit).

The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency
reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains
from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario
we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order
of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation.

Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point,
with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running
a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to
each station:

                                 Fast station        Slow station
Default pfifo_fast qdisc:            430.4 ms            638.7 ms
fq_codel qdisc on iface:              35.5 ms            211.8 ms
This patch set:                       22.4 ms             38.2 ms

Median aggregation sizes over the same test:

Default pfifo_fast qdisc:            9.5 pkts            1.9 pkts
fq_codel qdisc on iface:            11.2 pkts            1.9 pkts
This patch set:                     13.9 pkts            1.9 pkts

This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite
thoroughly.

cfda2d8e23 ath9k: Fix beacon configuration for addition/removal of interfaces
This patch fixes some issues with interface reconfiguration. It could
for example happen that an AP interface in beacon slot 0 was removed
leaving an IBSS station in one of the other slots. When this happens
the driver never sends out the beacon as it only tries to send a beacon
from slot 0.

Appart from that the tracking of required changes to the beacon config is
relatively complicated and prone to errors.

The approach taken here is to solve reconfiguration issues is to
reconfigure the beacons when any interface changes. This means that
the complexity of deciding whether an interface change may modify the
beacon configuration is gone. It also means that the beacon config will
be reliably updated when an interface is removed.

The issue that a single non-AP interface might not be in beacon
slot 0 and wouldn't be send out is solved by moving it into the
first slot. The TSF value in hardware is adjusted accordingly so
that the timestamp of the beacons stay consistent.

ed14dc0af7 ath9k: feeding entropy in kernel from ADC capture
This patch is derived from
commit 6301566e0b ("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.

25f3bc7dbd ath9k: Improve flush() in mcc mode
The flush timeout in MCC mode is very small, since
we are constrained by the time slice for each
channel context, but since only the HW queues are
flushed when switching contexts, it is acceptable.

Since the SW queues are also emptied in the mac80211 flush()
callback, a larger duration is needed. Add an override
argument to __ath9k_flush() and set it when flush()
is called in MCC mode. This allows the driver to
drain both the SW and HW queues.

If a GO interface is active when we receive a

62ae1aef20 ath9k: Fix address management
Since both the arguments need to satisfy
the alignment requirements of ether_addr_copy(),
use memcpy() in cases where there will be no
big performance benefit and make sure that
ether_addr_copy() calls use properly aligned
arguments.

e2d389b5aa ath9k: Check for pending frames properly
Pending frames in the driver can be present
either in the HW queues or SW. ath9k_has_pending_frames()
currently checks for the HW queues first and then
checks if any ACs are queued in the driver.

In MCC mode, we need to check the HW queues alone, since
the SW queues are just marked as 'stopped' - they will
be processed in the next context switch. But since we
don't differentiate this now, mention whether we want
to check if there are frames in the SW queues.

* The flush() callback checks both HW and SW queues.
* The tx_frames_pending() callback does the same.
* The call to __ath9k_flush() in MCC mode checks HW queues alone.

b8f9279be0 ath9k: Enable multi-channel properly
In MCC mode, currently the decision to enable
the multi-channel state machine is done
based on the association status if one of
the interfaces assigned to a context is in
station mode.

This allows the driver to switch to the other
context before the current station is able to
complete the 4-way handshake in case it is
required and this causes problems.

Instead, enable multi-channel mode when the
station moves to the authorized state. This
disallows an early switch to the other channel.

ca14405e3b ath9k: Fix sequence number assignment
Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all
frames that need to be assigned a sequence number.
QoS-data frames are handled properly since they
have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other
management frames use the same counter even if
multiple interfaces or contexts are present.

Fix this issue by making the counter per-interface
and using it when mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ.
