Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:
aligment||alignment
I did not touch the "N_BYTE_ALIGMENT" macro in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/wifi.h to avoid unpredictable
impact.
I fixed "_aligment_handler" in arch/openrisc/kernel/entry.S because
it is surrounded by #if 0 ... #endif. It is surely safe and I
confirmed "_alignment_handler" is correct.
I also fixed the "controler" I found in the same hunk in
arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S.

This patch fixes the OTP register definitions for the AR934x and AR9550
WMAC SoC.
Previously, the ath9k driver was unable to initialize the integrated
WMAC on an Aerohive AP121:
| ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe & 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
| ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe & 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
| ath: phy0: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -5
| ath9k ar934x_wmac: failed to initialize device
| ath9k: probe of ar934x_wmac failed with error -5
It turns out that the AR9300_OTP_STATUS and AR9300_OTP_DATA
definitions contain a typo.

ath_tx_count_airtime is doing a lot of unnecessary work:
- Redundant station lookup
- Redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock
- Useless memcpy of bf->rates
- Useless NULL check of bf->bf_mpdu
- Redundant lookup of the skb tid
Additionally, it tries to look up the mac80211 queue index from the txq,
which fails if the frame was delivered via the power save queue.
This patch fixes all of these issues by passing down the right set of
pointers instead of doing extra work

The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the
IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run.
However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be
called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the
middle of a reset).
This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will
get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped
and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this).
Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that
running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the
refcount untouched.

Currently, the common ath9k_common module needs to have a
dependency on RELAY and DEBUG_FS in order to built. This
is usually not a problem. But for RAM and FLASH starved
AR71XX devices, every little bit counts.
This patch adds a new symbol CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON_DEBUG
which makes it possible to drop the RELAY and DEBUG_FS
dependency there and move it to ATH_(HTC)_DEBUGFS.
Note: The shared FFT/spectral code (which is the only user
of the relayfs in ath9k*) needs DEBUG_FS to export the relayfs
interface to dump the data to userspace. So it makes no sense
to have the functions compiled in, if DEBUG_FS is not there.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some new features (e.g. KTSAN / Kernel Thread Sanitizer),
it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not
possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct
operation.
It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle

converts the driver to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() without said mangling.

This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected
stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It
accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or
receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to
a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based
deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which
station gets the next transmission opportunity.
Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network
when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a
simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the
highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is
employed at the access point:
Before / After
Fast station 1: 19.17 / 25.09 Mbps
Fast station 2: 19.83 / 25.21 Mbps
Slow station: 2.58 / 1.77 Mbps
Total: 41.58 / 52.07 Mbps
The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present.
In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps,
we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

The ar9300_eeprom logic is already using only 8-bit (endian neutral),
__le16 and __le32 fields to state explicitly how the values should be
interpreted.
All other EEPROM implementations (4k, 9287 and def) were using u16 and
u32 fields with additional logic to swap the values (read from the
original EEPROM) so they match the current CPUs endianness.
The EEPROM format defaults to "all values are Little Endian", indicated
by the absence of the AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN in the u8 EEPMISC
register. If we detect that the EEPROM indicates Big Endian mode
(AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN is set in the EEPMISC register) then we'll
swap the values to convert them into Little Endian. This is done by
activating the EEPMISC based logic in ath9k_hw_nvram_swap_data even if
AH_NO_EEP_SWAP is set (this makes ath9k behave like the FreeBSD driver,
which also does not have a flag to enable swapping based on the
AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN bit). Before this logic was only used to
enable swapping when "current CPU endianness != EEPROM endianness".
After changing all relevant fields to __le16 and __le32 sparse was used
to check that all code which reads any of these fields uses
le{16,32}_to_cpu.

There are two ways of swapping the EEPROM data in the ath9k driver:
1) swab16 based on the first two EEPROM "magic" bytes (same for all
EEPROM formats)
2) field and EEPROM format specific swab16/swab32 (different for
eeprom_def, eeprom_4k and eeprom_9287)
The result of the first check was used to also enable the second swap.
This behavior seems incorrect, since the data may only be byte-swapped
(afterwards the data could be in the correct endianness).
Thus we introduce a separate check based on the "eepmisc" register
(which is part of the EEPROM data). When bit 0 is set, then the EEPROM
format specific values are in "big endian". This is also done by the
FreeBSD kernel, see [0] for example.
This allows us to parse EEPROMs with the "correct" magic bytes but
swapped EEPROM format specific values. These EEPROMs (mostly found in
lantiq and broadcom based big endian MIPS based devices) only worked
due to platform specific "hacks" which swapped the EEPROM so the
magic was inverted, which also enabled the format specific swapping.
With this patch the old behavior is still supported, but neither
recommended nor needed anymore.

The AR5416_VER_MASK macro does the same as get_eeprom_rev, except that
one has to know the actual EEPROM type (and providing a reference to
that in a variable named "eep"). Additionally the eeprom_*.c
implementations used the same shifting logic multiple times to get the
eeprom revision which was also unnecessary duplication of
get_eeprom_rev.
Also use the AR5416_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK macro where needed and introduce
a similar macro (AR5416_EEP_VER_MAJOR_MASK) for the major version.
Finally drop AR9287_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK since it simply duplicates the
already defined AR5416_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK.

The eepMisc field was not set explicitly. The default value of 0 means
that the values in the EEPROM (template) should be interpreted as little
endian. However, this is not clear until comparing the AR9003 code with

Radar pulse and spectral scan reports are provided by the HW
with the ATH9K_RXERR_PHY flag set. Those are forwarded to
the dfs-detector and spectral module for further processing.
For some older chips, the pre-conditions checked in those
modules are ambiguous, since ATH9K_PHYERR_RADAR is used to
tag both types. As a result, spectral frames are fed into
the dfs-detector and vice versa.
This could lead to a false radar detection on a non-DFS
channel (which is uncritical), but more relevant it causes
useless CPU load for processing invalid frames.
This commit ensures that the dfs-detector and spectral
collector are only fed when they are active.

Commit b2d70d4944c1 ("ath9k: make GPIO API to support both of WMAC and

changing the return on success from 1 to BIT(gpio). This broke some callers
like ath_is_rfkill_set(). This doesn't fix any known bug in mainline at the
moment, but should be fixed anyway.
Instead of fixing all callers, change ath9k_hw_gpio_get() back to only
return 0 or 1.

This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software
queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the
driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when
a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was
pulled but can't be sent immediately.
The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been
removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no
longer a queue in the driver to limit).
The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency
reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains
from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario
we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order
of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation.
Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point,
with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running
a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to
each station:

This allows setting the MAC address and specifying that the firmware
will be requested from userspace (because there might not be a hardware
EEPROM connected to the chip) for ath9k based PCI devices using
the device tree.
There is some out-of-tree code to "convert devicetree to
ath9k_platform_data" (for example in OpenWrt and LEDE) which becomes
obsolete with this patch.

The active_high LED of my Wistron DNMA-92 is still being recognized as
active_low on 4.7.6 mainline. When I was preparing my former commit
0f9edcdd88a9 ("ath9k: Fix LED polarity for some Mini PCI AR9220 MB92
cards.") to fix that I must have somehow messed up with testing, because
I tested the final version of that patch before sending it, and it was
apparently working; but now it is not working on 4.7.6 mainline.
I initially added the PCI_DEVICE_SUB section for 0x0029/0x2096 above the
PCI_VDEVICE section for 0x0029; but then I moved the former below the
latter after seeing how 0x002A sections were sorted in the file.
This turned out to be wrong: if a generic PCI_VDEVICE entry (that has
both subvendor and subdevice IDs set to PCI_ANY_ID) is put before a more
specific one (PCI_DEVICE_SUB), then the generic PCI_VDEVICE entry will
match first and will be used.
With this patch, 0x0029/0x2096 has finally got active_high LED on 4.7.6.
While I'm at it, let's fix 0x002A too by also moving its generic definition
below its specific ones.

The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g.
* no encryption is possible on such links
* it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation
* management APIs are very restricted
These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice.
All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support,
so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future.
Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS.
This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate
to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan
to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code,
which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

For non-aggregated frames, ath9k was leaving handling of powersave
filtered packets to mac80211. This can be too slow if the intermediate
queue is already filled with packets and mac80211 does not immediately
send a new packet via drv_tx().
Improve response time with filtered frames by triggering clearing the
powersave filter internally.

It removes the need for undoing the padding changes to skb->data and it
improves performance by eliminating one tx status lookup per MPDU in the
status path. It is also useful for preparing a follow-up fix to better
handle powersave filtering.
A side effect is that these counters, available via debugfs, become now invalid:
* dot11TransmittedFragmentCount
* dot11FrameDuplicateCount,
* dot11ReceivedFragmentCount
* dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount

A regression was introduced in commit id 79d4db1214a ("ath9k: cleanup
led_pin initial") that broken the WLAN status led on my laptop with
AR9287 after suspending and resuming.
Steps to reproduce:
* Suspend (laptop)
* Resume (laptop)
* Observe that the WLAN led no longer turns ON/OFF depending on the
status and is always red
Even though for my case it only needs to be set to OUT in ath9k_start
but for consistency bring back the IN direction setting as well.

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In
practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the
author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using
IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention
clearer.
This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible.
This commit is only touching bool config options.
I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate
option:
- config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON)
[ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ]
- config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)
[ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ]
I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN()
in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors'
intention.
