Revert "Widen EPOCH(9) usage in PCI WLAN drivers."

This reverts commit b65f813c1ab99448278961c5ca80dc422b1eae29.
As a side effect this also seems to fix wtap which seems to have
lost the epoch over the input path in between.

bwi: Mark write-only variable as __unused

We read TX_STATUS1 to acknowledge a TX interrupt. We don't use this
value for anything, so mark it as unused. We may be able to eliminate
this read, but since this hardware is poorly documented and difficult to
test, I'm leaving the read in place.

WiFi: fix ieee80211_media_change() callers

In r178354 with the introduction of multi-bss ("vap") support factoring
out started and with r193340 ieee80211_media_change() no longer returned
ENETRESET but only 0 or error.
As ieee80211(9) tells the ieee80211_media_change() function should not
be called directly but is registered with ieee80211_vap_attach() instead.

Some drivers have not been fully converted. After fixing the return
checking some of these functions were simply wrappers between
ieee80211_vap_attach() and ieee80211_media_change(), so remove the extra
function, where possible as well.

Widen EPOCH(9) usage in PCI WLAN drivers.

covered by a network epoch section. Do not depend on the interrupt

# 786ac703 10-Mar-2019 Andriy Voskoboinyk <avos@FreeBSD.org>

Fix ieee80211_radiotap(9) usage in wireless drivers:

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.

- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.


# a14af830 06-Jul-2017 Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org>

Fix drivers that assume ticks starts at zero. These drivers all have logic
similar to "if (ticks > localvar+interval) {localvar=ticks; ...}" where
localvar is initialized to zero. Ticks is initialized to a negative value

- Use ni_txparms directly instead of calculating them manually every time
- Move M_EAPOL flag check upper; otherwise it may be skipped due to

net80211: ieee80211_ratectl*: switch to reusable KPI

Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();

While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.

Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)

Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.

# 7a79cebf 27-Aug-2015 Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org>

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.

Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.

Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:

- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.

Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.

Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not

of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

Instead of using the AMRR ratectl algo as default for drivers which have

a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.

After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always

much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.

net80211 rate control framework (net80211 ratectl).

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).

[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

use ieee80211_radiotap_attach to setup shared data structures that
hold the radiotap header for each packet tx/rx
o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support
for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly

o track DLT_IEEE80211_RADIO bpf attachments and maintain per-vap and

o track the number of monitor mode vaps
o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap
state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check
bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames
o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers
should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always

Bring in Andrew Thompson's port of Sepherosa Ziehau's bwi driver for
Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets. This driver uses the v3 firmware that
needs to be fetched separately. A port will be committed to create
the bwi firmware module.

The driver matches the following chips: Broadcom BCM4301, BCM4307,
BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4319

The driver works for 802.11b and 802.11g.

Limitations:
This doesn't support the 802.11a or 802.11n portion of radios.
Some BCM4306 and BCM4309 cards don't work with Channel 1, 2 or 3.
Documenation for this firmware is reverse engineered from
http://bcm.sipsolutions.net/
V4 of the firmware is needed for 11a or 11n support
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/
Firmware needs to be fetched from a third party, port to be committed

# I've tested this with a BCM4319 mini-pci and a BCM4318 CardBus card, and
# not connected it to the build until the firmware port is committed.
