abdc2d62be iwlwifi: remove duplicated version info from sysfs
version info in sysfs had been determined to be unnecessary as it
is already provided in syslog info.  nvm version is added to syslog
version info as a debug level message to provide all info that was
in the version sysfs data.

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

1e4247d457 iwlwifi: debugFs to enable/disable HT40 support
Add debugfs file to enable/disable HT40(40MHz) channel support.
By default, 40MHz is supported if AP can support the function.

By echo "1" to "disable_ht40" file, iwlwifi driver will disable the
40MHz support and only allow 20MHz channel.

Because the information exchange happen during association time,
so enable/disable ht40 channel only can be performed when it is not
associated with AP.

c2acea8e9b iwlwifi: fix up command sending
The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
    and device data in a single packed structure -- this
    is very confusing
 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
    structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
    is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
    unions and similarly odd constructs
 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
    even if only 32 end up being used

This patch fixes these things:
 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
    command metadata and device command separately, in
    two arrays in each tx queue
 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
    put in the required members
 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
    embedding them into the txq structure

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.

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.

"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.

We need to provide a reasonable minimum that will result in a
working setup if used. Set minimum to be 10 to provide for
4 standard TX queues + 1 command queue + 2 (unused) HCCA queues +
4 HT queues (one per AC).

We allow the user to change the number of queues used via a module
parameter and use this minimum value to check if it is valid. Without
this patch a user can select a value for the number of queues that
will result in a failing setup.

3995bd9332 iwlwifi: fix TX queue race
I had a problem on 4965 hardware (well, probably other hardware too,
but others don't survive my stress testing right now, unfortunately)
where the driver was sending invalid commands to the device, but no
such thing could be seen from the driver's point of view. I could
reproduce this fairly easily by sending multiple TCP streams with
iperf on different TIDs, though sometimes a single iperf stream was
sufficient. It even happened with a single core, but I have forced
preemption turned on.

The culprit was a queue overrun, where we advanced the queue's write
pointer over the read pointer. After careful analysis I've come to
the conclusion that the cause is a race condition between iwlwifi
and mac80211.

mac80211, of course, checks whether the queue is stopped, before
transmitting a frame. This effectively looks like this:

        lock(queues)
        if (stopped(queue)) {
                unlock(queues)
                return busy;
	}
        unlock(queues)
        ...             <-- this place will be important
			    there is some more code here
        drv_tx(frame)

The driver, on the other hand, can stop and start queues, which does

        lock(queues)
        mark_running/stopped(queue)
        unlock(queues)

	[if marked running: wake up tasklet to send pending frames]

Now, however, once the driver starts the queue, mac80211 can see that
and end up at the marked place above, at which point for some reason the
driver seems to stop the queue again (I don't understand that) and then
we end up transmitting while the queue is actually full.

Now, this shouldn't actually matter much, but for some reason I've seen
it happen multiple times in a row and the queue actually overflows, at
which point the queue bites itself in the tail and things go completely
wrong.

This patch fixes this by just dropping the packet should this have
happened, and making the lock in iwlwifi cover everything so iwlwifi
can't race against itself (dropping the lock there might make it more
likely, but it did seem to happen without that too).

Since we can't hold the lock across drv_tx() above, I see no way to fix
this in mac80211, but I also don't understand why I haven't seen this
before -- maybe I just never stress tested it this badly.

With this patch, the device has survived many minutes of simultanously
sending two iperf streams on different TIDs with combined throughput
of about 60 Mbps.

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.

02c06e4abc iwlagn: modify digital SVR for 1000
On 1000, there are two Switching Voltage Regulators (SVR). The first one
apply digital voltage level (1.32V) for PCIe block and core. We need to
use this regulator to solve a stability issue related to noisy DC2DC
line in the silicon.

4c6d4f5c33 mac80211: add helper for management / no-ack frame rate decision
All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack
frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta
and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211
for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code.

Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms
are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their
gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

01a7e08436 iwlagn: fix minimum number of queues setting
We need to provide a reasonable minimum that will result in a
working setup if used. Set minimum to be 10 to provide for
4 standard TX queues + 1 command queue + 2 (unused) HCCA queues +
4 HT queues (one per AC).

We allow the user to change the number of queues used via a module
parameter and use this minimum value to check if it is valid. Without
this patch a user can select a value for the number of queues that
will result in a failing setup.

* Rename maximum number of queue (TFD_QUEUE_MAX) to IWL39_NUM_QUEUES to
  be consistent with rest of iwlwifi.
* Remove unused defines.
* Fix loops that iterate over number of TX queues to stop when maximum is reached
  (currently it is maximum + 1).
* Remove queues_num module parameter as it is not used.

fcf89d0540 iwlwifi: fix permissions on debugfs files
debugfs files are created with 644 permissions which gives everybody
read access. This presents a security issue if a user opens the file and
holds it open at the time the driver removes the file. At this point
invalid memory will be accessed.

Fix this by only allowing root to read debugfs files.

872ed1902f iwlwifi: only show active power level via sysfs
This changes the power_level file to adhere to the "one value
per file" sysfs rule. The user will know which power level was
requested as it will be the number just written to this file. It
is thus not necessary to create a new sysfs file for this value.

In addition it fixes a problem where powertop's parsing expects
this value to be the first value in this file without any descriptions.
