Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

The commit "ath9k: Remove aggregation flags" changed how
nodes were being initialized. Use the HW HT cap bits
to initialize/de-initialize nodes, else we would be
accessing an uninitialized entry during a suspend/resume cycle,
resulting in a panic.

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver
rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied,
and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in
the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however,
the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started.
Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

"rt2x00: rt2800usb: rework txdone code"
We should schedule txdone work on timeout, otherwise if newer get
tx status from hardware, we will never report tx status to mac80211
and eventually never wakeup tx queue.

When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

Current commit 0775f9f90c
"mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy,
that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able
to receive frames after successful associate.
On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate()
do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed.
I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures:

Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

libertas provides a dump_survey implementation based on reading of
a RSSI value. However, this RSSI value is calculated based on the
last received beacon from the associated AP - it is not a good
way of surveying a channel in general, and even causes an error
if the card is not associated to a network.
As this is not appropriate as a survey, remove it. This fixes an
issue where something in userspace is repeatedly calling site-survey
during boot, resulting in many repeated errors as the RSSI value cannot
be read before associating.
