881d948c23 wireless: restrict to 32 legacy rates
Since the standards only define 12 legacy rates, 32 is certainly
a sane upper limit and we don't need to use u64 everywhere. Add
sanity checking that no more than 32 rates are registered and
change the variables to u32 throughout.

f797eb7e29 mac80211: Fix MFP Association Comeback to use Timeout Interval IE
The separate Association Comeback Time IE was removed from IEEE 802.11w
and the Timeout Interval IE (from IEEE 802.11r) is used instead. The
editing on this is still somewhat incomplete in IEEE 802.11w/D7.0, but
still, the use of Timeout Interval IE is the expected mechanism.

9aed3cc124 nl80211: New command for adding extra IE(s) into management frames
A new nl80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE, can be used to
add arbitrary IE data into the end of management frames. The interface
allows extra IEs to be configured for each management frame subtype, but
only some of them (ProbeReq, ProbeResp, Auth, (Re)AssocReq, Deauth,
Disassoc) are currently accepted in mac80211 implementation.

This makes it easier to implement IEEE 802.11 extensions like WPS and
FT that add IE(s) into some management frames. In addition, this can
be useful for testing and experimentation purposes.

63a5ab8225 mac80211: 802.11w - Implement Association Comeback processing
When MFP is enabled, the AP does not allow a STA to associate if an
existing security association exists without first going through SA
Query process. When this happens, the association request is denied
with a new status code ("temporarily rejected") ans Association
Comeback IE is used to notify when the association may be tried again
(i.e., when the SA Query procedure has timed out).

Use the comeback time to update the mac80211 client MLME timer for
next association attempt to minimize waiting time if association is
temporarily rejected.

3e0c3ff36c cfg80211: allow multiple driver regulatory_hints()
We add support for multiple drivers to provide a regulatory_hint()
on a system by adding a wiphy specific regulatory domain cache.
This allows drivers to keep around cache their own regulatory domain
structure queried from CRDA.

We handle conflicts by intersecting multiple regulatory domains,
each driver will stick to its own regulatory domain though unless
a country IE has been received and processed.

If the user already requested a regulatory domain and a driver
requests the same regulatory domain then simply copy to the
driver's regd the same regulatory domain and do not call
CRDA, do not collect $200.

Fortunatly, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds fields to both spinlock_t and

1cf3eb2ff6 kmalloc: return NULL instead of link failure
The SLAB kmalloc with a constant value isn't consistent with the other
implementations because it bails out with __you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much
rather than returning NULL and properly allowing the caller to fall back
to vmalloc or take other action.  This doesn't happen with a non-constant
value or with SLOB or SLUB.

Starting with 2.6.28, I've been seeing build failures on s390x.  This is
due to init_section_page_cgroup trying to allocate 2.5MB when the max size
for a kmalloc on s390x is 2MB.

It's failing because the value is constant.  The workarounds at the call
size are ugly and the caller shouldn't have to change behavior depending
on what the backend of the API is.

So, this patch eliminates the link failure and returns NULL like the other
implementations.

2a6e58d273 SATA: Blacklisting of systems that spin off disks during ACPI power off
Introduce new libata flags ATA_FLAG_NO_POWEROFF_SPINDOWN and
ATA_FLAG_NO_HIBERNATE_SPINDOWN that, if set, will prevent disks from
being spun off during system power off and hibernation, respectively
(to handle the hibernation case we need the new system state
SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER that can be checked against by libata, in
analogy with SYSTEM_POWER_OFF).

d7b1956fed DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface more flexible
Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.

To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information.  However, only the on-board controlles should
be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this
purpose.  Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI
information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose,
because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions
or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted
system.

To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function
dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array
of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI
information.  Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's
.driver_data field containing the additional information, such as
the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.

abfe2d7b91 Hibernation: Introduce system_entering_hibernation
Introduce boolean function system_entering_hibernation() returning
'true' during the last phase of hibernation, in which devices are
being put into low power states and the sleep state (for example,
ACPI S4) is finally entered.

Some device drivers need such a function to check if the system is
in the final phase of hibernation.  In particular, some SATA drivers
are going to use it for blacklisting systems in which the disks
should not be spun down during the last phase of hibernation (the
BIOS will do that anyway).
