When uCode detects critical temperature it should send "card state
notification" interrupt to driver and then shut itself down to prevent
overheating. There is a race condition where uCode shuts down before it
can deliver the interrupt to driver.
Additional method provided here for driver to enter CT_KILL state based
on temperature reading.
How it works:
Method 1:
If driver receive "card state notification" interrupt from uCode; it
enters "CT_KILL" state immediately
Method 2:
If the last temperature report by Card reach Critical temperature,
driver will send "statistic notification" request to uCode to verify the
temperature reading, if driver can not get reply from uCode within
300ms, driver will enter CT_KILL state automatically.
Method 3:
If the last temperature report by Card did not reach Critical
temperature, but uCode already shut down due to critical temperature.
All the host commands send to uCode will not get process by uCode;
when command queue reach the limit, driver will check the last reported
temperature reading, if it is within pre-defined margin, enter "CT_KILL"
state immediately. In this case, when uCode ready to exit from "CT_KILL" state,
driver need to restart the adapter in order to reset all the queues and
resume normal operation.
One additional issue being address here, when system is in CT_KILL
state, both tx and rx already stopped, but driver still can send host
command to uCode, it will flood the command queue since card was not
responding; adding STATUS_CT_KILL flag to reject enqueue host commands
to uCode if it is in CT_KILL state, when uCode is ready to come out of
CT_KILL, driver will clear the STATUS_CT_KILL bit and allow enqueue the host
commands to uCode to recover from CT_KILL state.

Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211)
we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has
a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to
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.

Some of the thermal throttle data structures and code
are really very intermingled with the sleep (power)
control code. They really do belong together in a way
since the thermal throttle code uses powersaving to
achieve its goal, but it's making it hard to work on
the powersave code. Split this up to make that easier.
I've also changed the antenna defines to an enum and
used the same enum for RX and TX.

Part 2 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
Advance Thermal Throttling:
TI-0: system power index, no tx/rx restriction, HT enabled
TI-1: power index 5, 1 spatial stream Tx, multiple spatial stream Rx, HT
enabled
TI-2: power index 5: 1 spatial stream Tx, 1 spatial stream Rx, HT
disabled
TI-CT-KILL: power index 5, no Tx, no Rx, HT disabled
For advance Thermal Throttling, CT_KILL_ENTER threshold and CT_KILL_EXIT
threshold are different; uCode will not stay awake until reach
CT_KILL_EXIT threshold.

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.

This removes all the dead code that tries to adjust the power
saving level based on the system AC state (inacceptable policy
in the kernel) or based on overtemp conditions (unused).
Also, pass _all_ policy wrt. enabling PS to mac80211, since
we do not use the power_disabled internally I now use that to
mirror the mac80211 CONF_PS setting. When mac80211 turns off
CONF_PS we follow suit. This means that the user power level
(which can currently only be set from sysfs) is not touched
for mac80211 powersave changes.
This means no "association status" checks are necessary since
mac80211 will not allow power save to be enabled when not
associated.

This patch makes usage of the results from disconnected antenna alg to
know how many antennas are connected.
It also synchronizes between the chain noise alg and the W/A that
disables power management during association. All the antennas must be
enables during the chain noise algorithm. Hence, power management is
restored only after the completion of the algorithm.
In the future, we will need to update the AP that we don't support MIMO
if there is only one antenna connected. We also need to update the rate
scaling algorithm.

This patch disables power save upon association and enables it back
after association. This allows to associate to AP on a radar channel
if power save is enabled.
Radar and passive channels are not allowed for TX (required for association)
unless RX is received but PS may close the radio and no RX will be received
effectively failing association.
