wifi: cfg80211: fix 6 GHz scan request building

wifi: cfg80211: fix 6 GHz scan request building

[ Upstream commit f7a8b10bfd614d7a9a16fbe80d28ead4f063cb00 ]

The 6 GHz scan request struct allocated by cfg80211_scan_6ghz() is
meant to be formed this way:

[base struct][channels][ssids][6ghz_params]

It is allocated with [channels] as the maximum number of channels
supported by the driver in the 6 GHz band, since allocation is
before knowing how many there will be.

However, the inner pointers are set incorrectly: initially, the
6 GHz scan parameters pointer is set:

[base struct][channels]
^ scan_6ghz_params

and later the SSID pointer is set to the end of the actually
_used_ channels.

[base struct][channels]
^ ssids

If many APs were to be discovered, and many channels used, and
there were many SSIDs, then the SSIDs could overlap the 6 GHz
parameters.

Additionally, the request->ssids for most of the function points
to the original request still (given the struct copy) but is used
normally, which is confusing.

Clear this up, by actually using the allocated space for 6 GHz
parameters _after_ the SSIDs, and set up the SSIDs initially so
they are used more clearly. Just like in nl80211.c, set them
only if there actually are SSIDs though.

Finally, also copy the elements (ie/ie_len) so they're part of
the same request, not pointing to the old request.

wifi: cfg80211: add optional link add/remove callbacks

Add some optional callbacks for link add/remove so that
drivers can react here. Initially, I thought it would be
sufficient to just create the link in start_ap etc., but
it turns out that's not so simple, since there are quite
a few callbacks that can be called: if they're erroneously
without start_ap, things might crash.

Thus it might be easier for drivers to allocate all the
necessary data structures immediately, to not have to
worry about it in each callback, since cfg80211 checks
that the link ID is valid (has been added.)

wifi: cfg80211: do some rework towards MLO link APIs

In order to support multi-link operation with multiple links,
start adding some APIs. The notable addition here is to have
the link ID in a new nl80211 attribute, that will be used to
differentiate the links in many nl80211 operations.

So far, this patch adds the netlink NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINK_ID
attribute (as well as the NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINKS attribute)
and plugs it through the system in some places, checking the
validity etc. along with other infrastructure needed for it.

For now, I've decided to include only the over-the-air link
ID in the API. I know we discussed that we eventually need to
have to have other ways of identifying a link, but for local
AP mode and auth/assoc commands as well as set_key etc. we'll
use the OTA ID.

Also included in this patch is some refactoring of the data
structures in struct wireless_dev, splitting for the first
time the data into type dependent pieces, to make reasoning
about these things easier.

This feature is supported on drivers running in AP mode only.
This extended capability is exchanged with hostapd during cfg80211

Authentication response frame, hostapd sets FILS AAD data to the

nl80211: add common API to configure SAR power limitations

NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS is added to configure SAR from
user space. NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC is used to pass the SAR
power specification when used with NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS.

Wireless driver needs to register SAR type, supported frequency
ranges to wiphy, so user space can query it. The index in
frequency range is used to specify which sub band the power
limitation applies to. The SAR type is for compatibility, so later
other SAR mechanism can be implemented without breaking the user
space SAR applications.

Normal process is user space queries the SAR capability, and
gets the index of supported frequency ranges and associates the
power limitation with this index and sends to kernel.

cfg80211: change internal management frame registration API

Almost all drivers below cfg80211 get the API wrong (except for
cfg80211) and are unable to cope with multiple registrations for
the same frame type, which is valid due to the match filter.
This seems to indicate the API is wrong, and we should maintain
the full information in cfg80211 instead of the drivers.

Change the API to no longer inform the driver about individual
registrations and unregistrations, but rather every time about
the entire state of the entire wiphy and single wdev, whenever
it may have changed. This also simplifies the code in cfg80211
as it no longer has to track exactly what was unregistered and
can free things immediately.

cfg80211: Support key configuration for Beacon protection (BIGTK)

IEEE P802.11-REVmd/D3.0 adds support for protecting Beacon frames using
a new set of keys (BIGTK; key index 6..7) similarly to the way
group-addressed Robust Management frames are protected (IGTK; key index
4..5). Extend cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow the new BIGTK to be
configured. Add an extended feature flag to indicate driver support for
the new key index values to avoid array overflows in driver
implementations and also to indicate to user space when this
functionality is available.

Revert "nl80211: add src and dst addr attributes for control port tx/rx"

This reverts commit 8c3ed7aa2b9ef666195b789e9b02e28383243fa8.

As Jouni points out, there's really no need for this, since the
RSN pre-authentication frames are normal data frames, not port
control frames (locally).

We can still revert this now since it hasn't actually gone beyond
-next.

nl80211: add src and dst addr attributes for control port tx/rx

When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.

This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.

Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so
by checking against:
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211_MAC_ADDRS
