In non-ETSI regulatory domains scan is blocked when operating channel
is a DFS channel. For ETSI, however, once DFS channel is marked as
available after the CAC, this channel will remain available (for some
time) even after leaving this channel.
Therefore a scan can be done without any impact on the availability
of the DFS channel as no new CAC is required after the scan.
Enable scan in mac80211 in these cases.

Jouni reports that in some cases it is possible that getting
disconnected (or stopping AP, after previous patches) results
in further operations hitting the window within the regulatory
core restoring the regdomain to the defaults. The reason for
this is that we have to call out to CRDA or otherwise do some
asynchronous work, and thus can't do the restore atomically.
However, we've previously seen all the data we need to do the
restore, so we can hang on to that data and use it later for
the restore. This makes the whole thing happen within a single
locked section and thus atomic.
However, we can't *always* do this - there are unfortunately
cases where the restore needs to re-request, because this is
also used (abused?) as an error recovery process, so make the
new behaviour optional and only use it when doing a regular
restore as described above.

Currently CRDA implements the signature checking, and the previous
commits added the ability to load the whole regulatory database
into the kernel.
However, we really can't lose the signature checking, so implement
it in the kernel by loading a detached signature (regulatory.db.p7s)
and check it against built-in keys.

If the regulatory database is loaded, and then updated, it may
be necessary to reload it. Add an nl80211 command to do this.
Note that this just reloads the database, it doesn't re-apply
the rules from it immediately.

Sharing DFS channel state across multiple wiphys (radios) could
be useful with multiple radios on the system. When one radio
completes CAC and markes the channel available another radio
can use this information and start beaconing without really doing
CAC.
Whenever there is a state change in dfs channel associated to
a particular wiphy the the same state change is propagated to
other wiphys having the same DFS reg domain configuration.
Also when a new wiphy is created the dfs channel state of
other existing wiphys of same DFS domain is copied.

DFS requirement for ETSI domain (section 4.7.1.4 in
ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1) is the only one which explicitly
states that once DFS channel is marked as available afer
the CAC, this channel will remain in available state even
moving to a different operating channel. But the same is
not explicitly stated in FCC DFS requirement. Also, Pre-CAC
requriements are not explicitly mentioned in FCC requirement.
Current implementation in keeping DFS channel in available
state is same as described in ETSI domain.
For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds
since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's
DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period
is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while
deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new
radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel
is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also
make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing
operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss
and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of

Patch eeca9fce1d71a4955855ceb0c3b13c1eb9db27c1 (cfg80211: Schedule
timeout for all CRDA call) introduced a regression, where in case
that crda is not installed (or not configured properly etc.), the

Fix this by limiting the number of continuous CRDA request failures.

Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as
long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment
setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic
as:
- It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile
AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the
station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making
the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to
invalidate the setting.
- A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that
the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g.,
it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still
stays indoor.
To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow
user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to
indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that:
1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going
to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting
internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process
should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command
to state that it is going to control the indoor setting.
2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in
case it is not owned by a user space process.
Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the
indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can
indicate environment changes to the regulatory core.
It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism
used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment --
while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely
ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs
typically can contain bogus data.

Allow GO operation on a channel marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT
iff there is an active station interface that is associated to
an AP operating on the same channel in the 2 GHz band or the same UNII band
(in the 5 GHz band). This relaxation is not allowed if the channel is
marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR.
Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions,
that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is
an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities.
It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space.
Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for
the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station
interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user
space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

In case we will get regulatory request with rule
where max_bandwidth_khz is set to 0 handle this
case as a special one.
If max_bandwidth_khz == 0 we should calculate maximum
available bandwidth base on all frequency contiguous rules.
In case we need auto calculation we just have to set:
country PL: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20), DFS
(5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS
This mean we will calculate maximum bw for rules where
AUTO (N/A) were set, 160MHz (5330 - 5170) in example above.
So we will get:
(5170 - 5250 @ 160), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 160), (N/A, 20), DFS
In other case:
country FR: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
(5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS
We will get 80MHz (5250 - 5170):
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
Base on this calculations we will set correct channel
bandwidth flags (eg. IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_80MHZ).
We don't need any changes in CRDA or internal regulatory.

There's a bug with the world regulatory domain, it
can be updated any time which is different from all
other regdomains that can only be updated once after
a request for them. Fix this by adding a check for
"processed" to the reg_is_valid_request() function
and clear that when doing a request.
While looking at this I also found another locking
bug, last_request is protected by the reg_mutex not
the cfg80211_mutex so the code in nl80211 is racy.
Remove that code as it only tries to prevent an
allocation in an error case, which isn't necessary.
Then the function can also become static and locking
in nl80211 can have a smaller scope.
Also change __set_regdom() to do the checks earlier
and not different for world/other regdomains.

Following the tradition we have had with ath5k, ath9k, CRDA,
wireless-regdb I'd like to license this code under the permissive ISC
license for the code sharing purposes with other OSes, it'd sure be nice
to help the landscape in this area. Although I am %82.89 owner of the
regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code
and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased
entities:
o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0]
- Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>
- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>
o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2]
- ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com
- kalle.valo@nokia.com
Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled,
"wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n
to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as
uncopyrightable.
As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia
my contact point was Petri Karhula <petri.karhula@nokia.com> but
after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the
legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing
their contributions in previous patches.
The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace
that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with
the regulatory simulator [3].

The function wiphy_update_regulatory() uses the static variable
last_request and thus needs to be called with reg_mutex held.
This is the case for all users in reg.c, but the function was
exported for use by wiphy_register(), from where it is called
without the lock being held.
Fix this by making wiphy_update_regulatory() private and introducing
regulatory_update() as a wrapper that acquires and holds the lock.

Regulatory devices issue change uevents to inform userspace of a need
to call the crda tool; however these can often be sent before udevd is
running, and were not previously included in the results of
udevadm trigger (which requests a new change event using the /uevent
attribute of the sysfs object).
Add a uevent function to the device type which includes the COUNTRY
information from the last request if it has yet to be processed, the
case of multiple requests is already handled in the code by checking
whether an unprocessed one is queued in the same manner and refusing
to queue a new one.

no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from

Since driver hints are cached on the wiphy that called

In practice APs do not send country IE channel triplets for channels
the AP is not operating on and if they were to do so they would have
to use the regulatory extension which we currently do not process.
No AP has been seen in practice that does this though so just drop
those country IEs.
Additionally it has been noted the first series of country IE
channels triplets are specific to the band the AP sends. Propagate
the band on which the country IE was found on reject the country
IE then if the triplets are ever oustide of the band.
Although we now won't process country IE information with multiple
band information we leave the intersection work as is as it is
technically possible for someone to want to eventually process these
type of country IEs with regulatory extensions.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.
Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.
This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.
I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan
on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although
we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this
is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world
roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on
one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do
the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement.
This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans.
This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning.
If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present
on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue.
All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from
any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to
the system at a later time.

to move out to headers struct regulatory_request, and enum environment_cap. While
at it lets add documentation for enum environment_cap.

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.
To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.
A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.
In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.
CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

The code needs to be split out and cleaned up, so as a
first step remove the capability, to add it back in a
subsequent patch as a separate function. Also remove the
publically facing return value of the function and the
wiphy argument. A number of internal functions go from
being generic helpers to just being used for alpha2
setting.

This mutex is wrong, we use cfg80211_drv_mutex (which should
possibly be renamed to just cfg80211_mutex) everywhere except
in one place, fix that and get rid of the extra mutex.
Also get rid of a spurious regulatory_requests list definition.

This function requires an internal lock to be held, so it cannot
be published to other modules in the kernel.

A few pointers and structures in the regulatory code are const,
but because it wasn't done properly a whole bunch of bogus
casts were needed to compile without warning. Mark everything
const properly to avoid that kind of junk code.

The recent code from Luis is an #ifdef hell and contains lots of
code that's stuffed into the wrong file making a whole bunch of
things needlessly non-static, and besides, what is it doing in
core.c??

This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:
* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel
We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.
Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.
Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.
For more information see:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.
