wifi: cfg80211: add a flag to disable wireless extensions

commit be23b2d7c3b7c8bf57b1cf0bf890bd65df9d0186 upstream.

Wireless extensions are already disabled if MLO is enabled,
given that we cannot support MLO there with all the hard-
coded assumptions about BSSID etc.

However, the WiFi7 ecosystem is still stabilizing, and some
devices may need MLO disabled while that happens. In that
case, we might end up with a device that supports wext (but
not MLO) in one kernel, and then breaks wext in the future
(by enabling MLO), which is not desirable.

Add a flag to let such drivers/devices disable wext even if
MLO isn't yet enabled.

wifi: wext-core: Fix -Wstringop-overflow warning in ioctl_standard_iw_point()

-Wstringop-overflow is legitimately warning us about extra_size
pontentially being zero at some point, hence potenially ending
up _allocating_ zero bytes of memory for extra pointer and then
trying to access such object in a call to copy_from_user().

Fix this by adding a sanity check to ensure we never end up
trying to allocate zero bytes of data for extra pointer, before
continue executing the rest of the code in the function.

Address the following -Wstringop-overflow warning seen when built
m68k architecture with allyesconfig configuration:
from net/wireless/wext-core.c:11:
In function '_copy_from_user',
inlined from 'copy_from_user' at include/linux/uaccess.h:183:7,
inlined from 'ioctl_standard_iw_point' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:825:7:
arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:48:25: warning: '__builtin_memset' writing 1 or more bytes into a region of size 0 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=]
48 | #define memset(d, c, n) __builtin_memset(d, c, n)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/uaccess.h:153:17: note: in expansion of macro 'memset'
153 | memset(to + (n - res), 0, res);
| ^~~~~~
In function 'kmalloc',
inlined from 'kzalloc' at include/linux/slab.h:694:9,
inlined from 'ioctl_standard_iw_point' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:819:10:
include/linux/slab.h:577:16: note: at offset 1 into destination object of size 0 allocated by '__kmalloc'
577 | return __kmalloc(size, flags);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This help with the ongoing efforts to globally enable
-Wstringop-overflow.

wifi: wext: warn about usage only once

Warn only once since the ratelimit parameters are still
allowing too many messages to happen. This will no longer
tell you all the different processes, but still gives a
heads-up of sorts.

Also modify the message to note that wext stops working
for future Wi-Fi 7 hardware, this is already implemented
in commit 4ca69027691a ("wifi: wireless: deny wireless
extensions on MLO-capable devices") and is maybe of more
relevance to users than the fact that we'd like to have
wireless extensions deprecated.

The issue with Wi-Fi 7 is that you can now have multiple
connections to the same AP, so a whole bunch of things
now become per link rather than per netdev, which can't
really be handled in wireless extensions.

wifi: wireless: deny wireless extensions on MLO-capable devices

These are WiFi 7 devices that will be introduced into the market
in 2023, with new drivers. Wireless extensions haven't been in
real development since 2006. Since wireless has evolved a lot,
and continues to evolve significantly with Multi-Link Operation,
there's really no good way to still support wireless extensions
for devices that do MLO.

Stop supporting wireless extensions for new devices. We don't
consider this a regression since no such devices (apart from
hwsim) exist yet.

With WiFi 7 (802.11ax, MLO/EHT) around the corner, we're going to
remove support for wireless extensions with new devices since MLO
(multi-link operation) cannot be properly indicated using them.

Add a warning to indicate which processes are still using wireless
extensions, if being used with modern (i.e. cfg80211) drivers.

Wireless events will be sent on the appropriate channels in
wireless_send_event(). Different wireless events may have different
payload structure and size, so kernel uses **len** and **cmd** field
in struct __compat_iw_event as wireless event common LCP part, uses
**pointer** as a label to mark the position of remaining different part.

Yet the problem is that, **pointer** is a compat_caddr_t type, which may
be smaller than the relative structure at the same position. So during
wireless_send_event() tries to parse the wireless events payload, it may
trigger the memcpy() run-time destination buffer bounds checking when the
relative structure's data is copied to the position marked by **pointer**.

This patch solves it by introducing flexible-array field **ptr_bytes**,
to mark the position of the wireless events remaining part next to
LCP part. What's more, this patch also adds **ptr_len** variable in
wireless_send_event() to improve its maintainability.

Wireless events will be sent on the appropriate channels in
wireless_send_event(). Different wireless events may have different
payload structure and size, so kernel uses **len** and **cmd** field
in struct __compat_iw_event as wireless event common LCP part, uses
**pointer** as a label to mark the position of remaining different part.

Yet the problem is that, **pointer** is a compat_caddr_t type, which may
be smaller than the relative structure at the same position. So during
wireless_send_event() tries to parse the wireless events payload, it may
trigger the memcpy() run-time destination buffer bounds checking when the
relative structure's data is copied to the position marked by **pointer**.

This patch solves it by introducing flexible-array field **ptr_bytes**,
to mark the position of the wireless events remaining part next to
LCP part. What's more, this patch also adds **ptr_len** variable in
wireless_send_event() to improve its maintainability.

Wireless events will be sent on the appropriate channels in
wireless_send_event(). Different wireless events may have different
payload structure and size, so kernel uses **len** and **cmd** field
in struct __compat_iw_event as wireless event common LCP part, uses
**pointer** as a label to mark the position of remaining different part.

Yet the problem is that, **pointer** is a compat_caddr_t type, which may
be smaller than the relative structure at the same position. So during
wireless_send_event() tries to parse the wireless events payload, it may
trigger the memcpy() run-time destination buffer bounds checking when the
relative structure's data is copied to the position marked by **pointer**.

This patch solves it by introducing flexible-array field **ptr_bytes**,
to mark the position of the wireless events remaining part next to
LCP part. What's more, this patch also adds **ptr_len** variable in
wireless_send_event() to improve its maintainability.

Wireless events will be sent on the appropriate channels in
wireless_send_event(). Different wireless events may have different
payload structure and size, so kernel uses **len** and **cmd** field
in struct __compat_iw_event as wireless event common LCP part, uses
**pointer** as a label to mark the position of remaining different part.

Yet the problem is that, **pointer** is a compat_caddr_t type, which may
be smaller than the relative structure at the same position. So during
wireless_send_event() tries to parse the wireless events payload, it may
trigger the memcpy() run-time destination buffer bounds checking when the
relative structure's data is copied to the position marked by **pointer**.

This patch solves it by introducing flexible-array field **ptr_bytes**,
to mark the position of the wireless events remaining part next to
LCP part. What's more, this patch also adds **ptr_len** variable in
wireless_send_event() to improve its maintainability.
