wifi: cfg80211: add flush functions for wiphy work

There may be sometimes reasons to actually run the work
if it's pending, add flush functions for both regular and
delayed wiphy work that will do this.

wifi: cfg80211: add a work abstraction with special semantics

Add a work abstraction at the cfg80211 level that will always
hold the wiphy_lock() for any work executed and therefore also
can be canceled safely (without waiting) while holding that.
This improves on what we do now as with the new wiphy works we
don't have to worry about locking while cancelling them safely.

Also, don't let such works run while the device is suspended,
since they'll likely need to interact with the device. Flush
them before suspend though.

drivers: remove struct module * setting from struct class

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the
registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the
explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded.

This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going
forward.

driver core: class: make namespace and get_ownership take const *

The callbacks in struct class namespace() and get_ownership() do not
modify the struct device passed to them, so mark the pointer as constant
and fix up all callbacks in the kernel to have the correct function
signature.

This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.

cfg80211: shut down interfaces on failed resume

If resume fails, we should shut down all interfaces as the
hardware is probably dead. This was/is already done now in
mac80211, but we need to change that due to locking issues,
so move it here and do it without the wiphy lock held.

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you
have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock
contention on that.

Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at
some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and
all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still
don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get
parallel calls for a single device).

Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or
remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some
of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since
we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only
hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

cfg80211: track time using boottime

The cfg80211 layer uses get_seconds() to read the current time
in its supend handling. This function is deprecated because of the 32-bit
time_t overflow, and it can cause unexpected behavior when the time
changes due to settimeofday() calls or leap second updates.

In many cases, we want to use monotonic time instead, however cfg80211
explicitly tracks the time spent in suspend, so this changes the
driver over to use ktime_get_boottime_seconds(), which is slightly
slower, but not used in a fastpath here.

What is happening is that brcmf_pcie_resume() detects a device that
is no longer responsive and it decides to unbind resulting in a
wiphy_unregister() and wiphy_free() call. Now the wiphy instance
remains allocated, because PM needs to call wiphy_resume() for it.
However, brcmfmac already does a kfree() for the struct
cfg80211_registered_device::ops field. Change the checks in
wiphy_resume() to only access the struct cfg80211_registered_device::ops
if the wiphy instance is still registered at this time.

cfg80211: process events caused by suspend before suspending

When suspending without WoWLAN, cfg80211 will ask drivers to
disconnect. Even when the driver does this synchronously, and
immediately returns with a notification, cfg80211 schedules
the handling thereof to a workqueue, and may then call back
into the driver when the driver was already suspended/ing.

Fix this by processing all events caused by cfg80211_leave_all()
directly after that function returns. The driver still needs to
do the right thing here and wait for the firmware response, but
that is - at least - true for mwifiex where this occurred.

To fix the problem disconnect from any associated network before
suspend. User space is responsible to establish connection again
after resume. This basically need to be done by user space anyway,
because associated stations can go away during suspend (for example
NetworkManager disconnects on suspend and connect on resume by default).

Patch also handle situation when driver refuse to suspend with wowlan
configured and try to suspend again without it.

wireless: Print wiphy name in sysfs.

The index cannot be used to reliably reconstruct a phy
name, so explicitly add the phy name to sysfs so that scripts
can figure out the parent phy device for a particular
wireless interface.

cfg80211: export multiple MAC addresses in sysfs

If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.

If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
that it will be able to deal with that many different
addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
device should deal addresses within that mask based
on an arbitrary "base address".

To test it all and show how it is used, add support
to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
addresses different from the default.

cfg80211: age scan results on resume

Scanned BSS entries are timestamped with jiffies, which doesn't
increment across suspend and hibernate. On resume, every BSS in the
scan list looks like it was scanned within the last 10 seconds,
irregardless of how long the machine was actually asleep. Age scan
results on resume with the time spent during sleep so userspace has a
clue how old they really are.

This should help implement suspend/resume in mac80211, these
hooks will be run before the device is suspended and after it
resumes. Therefore, they can touch the hardware as much as
they want to.

wireless: clean up sysfs code using %pM

Remove converting the MAC address to a string by a direct byte
conversion and use %pM instead, since the code is now boilerplate
use a macro to define the show functions, and also use the shorter

Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.

[WIRELESS] cfg80211: New wireless config infrastructure.

This patch creates the core cfg80211 code along with some sysfs bits.
This is a stripped down version to allow mac80211 to function, but
doesn't include any configuration yet except for creating and removing
virtual interfaces.

This patch includes the nl80211 header file but it only contains the
interface types which the cfg80211 interface for creating virtual
interfaces relies on.
