Add SPDX-License-Identifier lines to some files where
they are missing in the net/wireless directory.
Remove licensing text from individual files headers (where
present) to canonicalize the library references.
Use (mostly) either GPL-2.0 or ISC, depending on the
license wording (or not) in the files.
radiotap.c does not mention which BSD variant it intends for the
license. My selection of 'OR BSD-2-Clause' for radiotap.c was
based on research into this code's history and its licensing
elsewhere. In OpenBSD, radiotap code (which likely either
derived from this code, or this code was derived from) has the
BSD-2-Clause license. Very similar code in the radiotap library
user space tool, by the same authors Andy Green and Johannes
Berg, has an ISC license. Also the ISC license is used by
Johannes for other contributions in the Linux wireless system.
Since the radiotap.c license text here mentions BSD, but not a
specific version, I chose the closest BSD variant to ISC, which
is BSD-2-Clause.

Commit cc34acd577 ("docs: net: document new locking reality")
introduced netif_ vs dev_ function semantics: the former expects locked
netdev, the latter takes care of the locking. We don't strictly
follow this semantics on either side, but there are more dev_xxx handlers
now that don't fit. Rename them to netif_xxx where appropriate.

Wireless extensions are already disabled if MLO is enabled,
given that we cannot support MLO there with all the hard-
coded assumptions about BSSID etc.
However, the WiFi7 ecosystem is still stabilizing, and some
devices may need MLO disabled while that happens. In that
case, we might end up with a device that supports wext (but
not MLO) in one kernel, and then breaks wext in the future
(by enabling MLO), which is not desirable.
Add a flag to let such drivers/devices disable wext even if
MLO isn't yet enabled.

-Wstringop-overflow is legitimately warning us about extra_size
pontentially being zero at some point, hence potenially ending
up _allocating_ zero bytes of memory for extra pointer and then
trying to access such object in a call to copy_from_user().
Fix this by adding a sanity check to ensure we never end up
trying to allocate zero bytes of data for extra pointer, before
continue executing the rest of the code in the function.
Address the following -Wstringop-overflow warning seen when built
m68k architecture with allyesconfig configuration:

Warn only once since the ratelimit parameters are still
allowing too many messages to happen. This will no longer
tell you all the different processes, but still gives a
heads-up of sorts.
Also modify the message to note that wext stops working
for future Wi-Fi 7 hardware, this is already implemented
in commit 4ca6902769 ("wifi: wireless: deny wireless
extensions on MLO-capable devices") and is maybe of more
relevance to users than the fact that we'd like to have
wireless extensions deprecated.
The issue with Wi-Fi 7 is that you can now have multiple
connections to the same AP, so a whole bunch of things
now become per link rather than per netdev, which can't
really be handled in wireless extensions.

These are WiFi 7 devices that will be introduced into the market
in 2023, with new drivers. Wireless extensions haven't been in
real development since 2006. Since wireless has evolved a lot,
and continues to evolve significantly with Multi-Link Operation,
there's really no good way to still support wireless extensions
for devices that do MLO.
Stop supporting wireless extensions for new devices. We don't
consider this a regression since no such devices (apart from
hwsim) exist yet.

Wireless events will be sent on the appropriate channels in
wireless_send_event(). Different wireless events may have different
payload structure and size, so kernel uses **len** and **cmd** field
in struct __compat_iw_event as wireless event common LCP part, uses
**pointer** as a label to mark the position of remaining different part.
Yet the problem is that, **pointer** is a compat_caddr_t type, which may
be smaller than the relative structure at the same position. So during
wireless_send_event() tries to parse the wireless events payload, it may
trigger the memcpy() run-time destination buffer bounds checking when the
relative structure's data is copied to the position marked by **pointer**.
This patch solves it by introducing flexible-array field **ptr_bytes**,
to mark the position of the wireless events remaining part next to
LCP part. What's more, this patch also adds **ptr_len** variable in
wireless_send_event() to improve its maintainability.

The problem is that ioctl_standard_call() sometimes calls the handler

However, iw_handler_get_iwstats never actually gets called that way.
Marking that function as noinline avoids the warning and leads
to slightly smaller object code as well.

This function iterates over net_namespace_list and flushes
the queue for every of them. What does this rtnl_lock()
protects?! Since we may add skbs to net::wext_nlevents
without rtnl_lock(), it does not protects us about queuers.
It guarantees, two threads can't flush the queue in parallel,
that can change the order, but since skb can be queued
in any order, it doesn't matter, how many threads do this
in parallel. In case of several threads, this will be even
faster.
So, we can remove rtnl_lock() here, as it was used for
iteration over net_namespace_list only.

rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high.
When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces,
he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock.
But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill,
and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already
for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(),
and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need
really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu()
is not fit there.
This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is
sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net
namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock()
in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes
less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock,
while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are
in next patches.
Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock,
so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation
allows that.

Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq,
but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that
then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they
pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the
struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes).
To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls
and copy only the smaller structure in this case.
This bug goes back a long time, I tracked that it was introduced
into mainline in 2.1.15, over 20 years ago!

There are no longer any drivers (in the tree proper, I didn't
check all the staging drivers) that take WEXT ioctls through
this API, the only remaining ones that even have ndo_do_ioctl
are using it only for private ioctls.
Therefore, we can remove this call.

With 78, 111 and 85 bytes respectively (on x86-64), the
functions iwe_stream_add_event(), iwe_stream_add_point()
and iwe_stream_add_value() really shouldn't be inlines.
It appears that at least my compiler already decided
the same, and created a single instance of each one
of them for each file using it, but that's still a
number of instances in the system overall, which this
reduces.

This reverts commit 3d5fdff46c.
Ben Hutchings pointed out that the commit isn't safe since it assumes
that the structure used by the driver is iw_point, when in fact there's
no way to know about that.
Fortunately, the only driver in the tree that ever runs this code path
is the wilc1000 staging driver, so it doesn't really matter.
Clearly I should have investigated this better before applying, sorry.
