Ben Cahill 309e731a61 iwlwifi: MAC_ACCESS_REQ cleanup
Add txq_id info to "Tx queue requesting wakeup" debug message

Add "Rx queue requesting wakeup" debug message

Move clear of CSR_GP_CNTRL_REG_FLAG_MAC_ACCESS_REQ to be after nearby
iwl_write_prph(), since iwl_write_prph() sets it and clears it.  Almost
removed it entirely, but just making sure in case someone removes the
iwl_write_prph()!  Also remove unneeded priv->lock usage; this is now
handled by priv->reg_lock within iwl_clear_bit().

Join a couple of lines that had unneeded line returns.

Ben Cahill 8756990f99 iwlagn: update write pointers in iwl_irq_tasklet()
Follow-up to "update write pointers for all tx queues after wakeup"; that
patch changed iwl_irq_tasklet_legacy(), but not iwl_irq_tasklet(), so
newer devices were not covered.

Comments from original patch:

Wakeup interrupt has been updating write pointers (indexes, actually) only
for tx queues 0-5.  This is adequate just for 3945, but inadequate for other
devices, all of which have more tx queues.  Now updating all tx/command queues,
so device can be aware of all new tx and host commands enqueued while
device was asleep.

This can potentially improve data traffic bandwidth and/or latency.

Ben Cahill e585447189 iwlwifi: speed up event log dumps
Take advantage of device's auto-increment for SRAM reads to eliminate extra
write address accesses.

Grab/release NIC access before/after entire read sequence, rather than for
each read individually.

After a quick check of dmesg logs, this seems to double Event Log dump speed,
reducing from about 20 milliseconds to about 10 milliseconds for 512 entries
using 3945.

Ben Cahill 88521364cc iwlwifi: remove power-wasting calls to apm_ops.init()
To save power, don't run apm_ops.init() until needed at "up" time.

EEPROM (5000 and earlier devices) may be read without running apm_ops.init(),
but OTP reads (6000 and newer devices) require a powered-up chip.
Therefore, remove apm_ops.init() from the general path in XXXX_pci_probe(),
and call it only if device uses OTP.  Once done with OTP read, call
apm_ops.stop() to reset chip and save power until "up" time comes around.

NOTE:  This patch depends on removal of priv->lock from iwl_apm_stop();
lock does not get initialized until later in flow.  See patch
"remove unneeded locks from apm_stop()".

Ben Cahill c166b25a5c iwlwifi: make sure device is reset when unloading driver
Add unconditional call to apm_ops.stop() to reset device to low power state
when unloading driver.  Some paths have existed to unload driver *without*
resetting device, therefore some errors have persisted through multiple
load/unload cycles, until the whole platform gets rebooted; this is an
attempt to remedy some of those situations.  Sorry, I can't seem to find
a bughost.org bug that specifically has these symptoms, but I had it happen
recently here.

Note that this will *not* fix situations in which the PCI express bus has
crashed (evidenced by register reads showing "0xffffffff"), e.g. bughost.org
1855 and 2096; device is unreachable from driver in those cases.

Reinette Chatre 8d9698b3e6 iwlagn: store station rate scale information in mac80211 station structure
Currently mac80211 initializes the rate scaling before notifying the driver
of the station's existence. The driver dealt with this by not relying on
mac80211's station notifications and instead mixing this functionality with
the rate scaling code and other places. To clean this up the driver needs
to do rate scaling initialization after being notified of the station, this
can be done if the rate scaling information forms part of the station
information passed from mac80211 to driver.

Zhu Yi 2f301227a1 iwlwifi: use paged Rx
This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.

It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
(which cannot be called in hard irq context).

Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
to handle them properly.

Ben Cahill 4d2ccdb948 iwlwifi: turn off device when not used.
In some cases (e.g. when mac80211 calls iwl_mac_stop() for suspend or user
no longer wants device active), device has not been going into low power state
via __iwl_down().  apm_ops.reset() does not put device into low power state;
instead it resets the device, then puts it into a powered-up state ready to be
re-loaded with uCode and re-started.  This has needlessly warmed up user's
laptops and drained batteries.

With current architecture in which mac80211 controls device up/down (including
resetting device after firmware errors), there is no need for apm_ops.reset()
any more; apm_ops.reset() is basically a combination of apm_ops.stop() and
apm_ops.init().

Instead, __iwl_down() now unconditionally places the device into a low-power
state via apm_ops.stop(). Device may be re-started via __iwl_up() calling
apm_ops.init() as soon as it may be needed (e.g. quickly for firmware errors),
but in the meantime, device will stop wasting energy.

Note that, even in this low power state, if driver re-enables interrupts,
the device retains the ability to sense the hardware RF-KILL switch, and
(except for 3945) interrupt the host when it changes.

Johannes Berg e932a609e9 iwlwifi: LED cleanup
The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that
mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single
LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc.
Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers
and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having
LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are
connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers
anyway.

Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the
driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code
abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate
etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore.

At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of
the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the
IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is
now self-contained.

Wey-Yi Guy 47eef9bd10 iwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series
When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.

When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.

By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.

For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive
response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the
sleep command.

Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default
to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter
to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency
requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due
to requiring more testing.

The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the
deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking
latency requirements.

This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device)
when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is
not of big concern.

Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for
thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using
the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs
to allow easier testing of such parameters.

Reinette Chatre c03ea16285 iwlwifi: revert uCode Alive notification with timeout
commit "iwlwifi: uCode Alive notification with timeout" introduced a more
reliable mechanism for ucode loading. Unfortunately we hit a problem with
it frequently enough to make a 4965 unusable. The problem can be seen in
debug log below. What this code attempts is to set runtime ucode up to
load, start a timer to wait for the alive response from runtime ucode, and
if it times out it tries again. As can be seen below we receive the alive
response and wake the waiting task _before_ the tasks starts waiting. The
task thus times out as the alive response is not received while it is
waiting for it and it restarts the device. This starts the cycle all over
again.

Wey-Yi Guy 20594eb0da iwlwifi: new debugging feature for dumping data traffic
The traffic buffer will only beallocated and used if either bit 23
(IWL_DX_TX) or bit 24 (IWL_DL_RX) of "debug" is set;
example: "debug=0x800000" - log tx data traffic
         "debug=0x1000000" - log rx data traffic
         "debug=0x1800000" - log both tx and rx traffic

The traffic log will store the beginning portion (64 bytes)  of the
latest 256 of tx and rx packets in the round-robbin buffer for
debugging,
user can examine the log through debugfs file.

How to display the current logged tx/rx traffic and txfifo and rxfifo
read/write point:
"cat traffic_log" in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlagn/debug
directory

By echo "0" to traffic_log file will empty the traffic log buffer and
reset both tx and rx taffic log index to 0.

Reinette Chatre 3d816c77ec iwlwifi: re-introduce per device debugging
Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the
debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug
level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi
device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels
should be unique per device.

We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the
cleanup effort of the previous patch.

The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug
level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The
per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file
while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

In order for uCode to apply correct tx power,
driver needs to program the CSR_GP_DRIVER_REG register and
let uCode know the type of PA.
If driver do not program CSR_GP_DRIVER_REG register (default to 0),
then it is uCode's decision for tx power

Johannes Berg c2acea8e9b iwlwifi: fix up command sending
The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
    and device data in a single packed structure -- this
    is very confusing
 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
    structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
    is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
    unions and similarly odd constructs
 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
    even if only 32 end up being used

This patch fixes these things:
 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
    command metadata and device command separately, in
    two arrays in each tx queue
 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
    put in the required members
 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
    embedding them into the txq structure

Wey-Yi Guy 39b73fb15e iwlwifi: Thermal Throttling Management - Part 1
Part 1 of Thermal Throttling Management -

Thermal Throttling feature is used to put NIC into low power state when
driver detect the Radio temperature reach pre-defined threshold

Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the
Legacy Thermal Management:
   IWL_TI_0: normal temperature, system power state
   IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state
   IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state
   IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state

Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all
the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5
seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change,
then measure the temperature.
If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep;
if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State
Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode
remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update
the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.

Reinette Chatre a562a9dda7 iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly
* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain
  5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module
  parameter to match with original driver and be consistent
  between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used,
  except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping
  with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated"
  and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more
  cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be
  entered together.

* Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver
  is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate
  a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags
  but yet cannot see any debug output.

* Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the
  "debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and
  added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant
  use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users
  to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around.

With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need
debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug
module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as
with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like
bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter,
so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant
impact and we do not do this for that reason.

One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system
with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module
parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this
seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an
issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.
