Wey-Yi Guy 1152dcc28c iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection
mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.

Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.

Johannes Berg b7bb1756cb iwlwifi: fix more eeprom endian bugs
I've also for a long time had a problem with the
temperature calculation code, which I had fixed
by byte-swapping the values, and now it turns out
that was the correct fix after all.

Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is
for more than a u8 must be cast to little endian,
and some structs as well.

Fix all this. Again, no real impact on platforms
that already are little endian.

Wey-Yi Guy ae16fc3c31 iwlwifi: eliminate the possible 1/2 dBm tx power loss in 6x00 & 6x50 series
In both 6x00 and 6x50 series, the enhanced/extended tx power table in
EEPROM is used to set the max. tx power limit.
This new tx power table is in 1/2 dBm format, which creates an issue of
possibility of 1/2 dBm loss when driver set the tx power limit; because
of driver keep track and report the tx power in dBm format.

In order to prevent the 1/2 dBm loss, keep track of the true max tx
power in 1/2 dBm format in driver; do the comparison and adjust the tx
power if needed when send tx power command to uCode.

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.

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.

Stanislaw Gruszka 6c6a22e268 iwlagn: fix panic in iwl{5000,4965}_rx_reply_tx
In some cases firmware can give us bad value of index in transmit
buffers array. This patch add sanity check for such values and return
from processing function instantly when it happens.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521931

Patch was tested by reporter on iwl5000. I think check can be also
helpful for 4965.

Daniel C Halperin 396887a2b2 iwlwifi: fix erroneous use of iwl_rx_packet.len as a length
The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length
field but also includes some flags from the flow handler.  In several places
throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as
lengths when the field is improperly masked.

In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results
in an erroneous message, such as:

[551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620).

which should read '(480 vs 484)'.

In at least one case this could case bad things to happen:

void iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif(struct iwl_priv *priv,
                                      struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb)
{
        struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data;
        IWL_DEBUG_RADIO(priv, "Dumping %d bytes of unhandled "
                        "notification for %s:\n",
                        le32_to_cpu(pkt->len), get_cmd_string(pkt->hdr.cmd));
        iwl_print_hex_dump(priv, IWL_DL_RADIO, pkt->u.raw, le32_to_cpu(pkt->len)
);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif);

Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the
driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to
'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion.  It also adds the proper masking when
this field is used as a length value.

Daniel C Halperin b261793da5 iwlwifi: use station HT capabilities and BSS operating mode for Green-field
Green-field mode should be configured in the HT station table.  This patch uses
both the per-station GF support flag as well as the current BSS HT operation
mode (non-GF stations present flag).

Added the "ht_greenfield_support" field to struct iwl_cfg to replace the
device-specific check in rs_use_green().  That check has been moved to
iwlcore_init_ht_hw_capab().

Wey-Yi Guy 65b7998a9b iwlwifi: Distinguish power amplifier for 6000 series
For 6x00 2x2 NIC, two types of Power Amplifier are available.
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

2x2 Hybrid card: use both internal and external PA
2x2 IPA(Internal Power Amplifier) card: internal PA only

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.

Wey-Yi Guy 672639de13 iwlwifi: critical temperature enter/exit condition
If advance thermal throttling is used the driver need to pass both
"enter" and "exit" temperature to uCode.

Using different critical temperature threshold for legacy and advance
thermal throttling management based on the type of thermal throttling
method is used except 1000.
For 1000, it use advance thermal throttling critical temperature
threshold, but with legacy thermal management implementation until ucode
has the necessary implementations in place.

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.

Adding new API version to account for change to ucode file format.  New
header includes the build number of the ucode.  This build number is the
SVN revision thus allowing for exact correlation to the code that
generated it.

The header adds the build number so that older ucode images can also be
enhanced to include the build in the future.

some cleanup in iwl_read_ucode needed to ensure old header not used and
reduce unnecessary references through pointer with the data is already
in heap variable.
