Drivers that trigger roaming need to know the lifetime of the configured
PMKSA for deciding whether to trigger the full or PMKSA cache based
authentication. The configured PMKSA is invalid after the PMK lifetime
has expired and must not be used after that and the STA needs to
disassociate if the PMK expires. Hence the STA is expected to refresh
the PMK with a full authentication before this happens (e.g., when
reassociating to a new BSS the next time or by performing EAPOL
reauthentication depending on the AKM) to avoid unnecessary
disconnection.
The PMK reauthentication threshold is the percentage of the PMK lifetime
value and indicates to the driver to trigger a full authentication roam
(without PMKSA caching) after the reauthentication threshold time, but
before the PMK timer has expired. Authentication methods like SAE need
to be able to generate a new PMKSA entry without having to force a
disconnection after this threshold timeout. If no roaming occurs between
the reauthentication threshold time and PMK lifetime expiration,
disassociation is still forced.
The new attributes for providing these values correspond to the dot11
MIB variables dot11RSNAConfigPMKLifetime and
dot11RSNAConfigPMKReauthThreshold.
This type of functionality is already available in cases where user
space component is in control of roaming. This commit extends that same
capability into cases where parts or all of this functionality is
offloaded to the driver.

Sometimes, userspace is able to detect that a peer silently lost its
state (like, if the peer reboots). wpa_supplicant does this for IBSS-RSN
by registering for auth/deauth frames, but when it detects this, it is
only able to remove the encryption keys of the peer and close its port.
However, the kernel also hold other state about the station, such as BA
sessions, probe response parameters and the like. They also need to be
resetted correctly.
This patch adds the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_DEL_IBSS_STA feature flag
indicating the driver accepts deleting stations in IBSS mode, which
should send a deauth and reset the state of the station, just like in
mesh point mode.

If the nl80211 control port is used before this patch, pre-auth frames
(0x88c7) are send to userspace uncoditionally. While this enables userspace
to only use nl80211 on the station side, it is not always useful for APs.
Furthermore, pre-auth frames are ordinary data frames and not related to
the control port. Therefore it should for example be possible for pre-auth
frames to be bridged onto a wired network on AP side without touching
userspace.
For backwards compatibility to code already using pre-auth over nl80211,
this patch adds a feature flag to disable this behavior, while it remains
enabled by default. An additional ext. feature flag is added to detect this
from userspace.
Thanks to Jouni for pointing out, that pre-auth frames should be handled as
ordinary data frames.

Make some changes to the TID-config API:
* use u16 in nl80211 (only, and restrict to using 8 bits for now),
to avoid issues in the future if we ever want to use higher TIDs.
* reject empty TIDs mask (via netlink policy)
* change feature advertising to not use extended feature flags but
have own mechanism for this, which simplifies the code
* fix all variable names from 'tid' to 'tids' since it's a mask
* change to cfg80211_ name prefixes, not ieee80211_
* fix some minor docs/spelling things.

IEEE P802.11-REVmd/D3.0 adds support for protecting Beacon frames using
a new set of keys (BIGTK; key index 6..7) similarly to the way
group-addressed Robust Management frames are protected (IGTK; key index
4..5). Extend cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow the new BIGTK to be
configured. Add an extended feature flag to indicate driver support for
the new key index values to avoid array overflows in driver
implementations and also to indicate to user space when this
functionality is available.

When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.
This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.
Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so
by checking against:

Commit ab4dfa2053 ("cfg80211: Allow drivers to advertise supported AKM
suites") introduces the support to advertize supported AKMs to userspace.
This needs an enhancement to advertize the AKM support per interface type,
specifically for the cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and use
different mechanisms to support the AKM's for each interface type (e.g.,
the support for SAE, OWE AKM's take different paths for such drivers on
STA/AP mode).
This commit aims the same and enhances the earlier mechanism of advertizing
the AKMs per wiphy. Add new nl80211 attributes and data structure to
provide supported AKMs per interface type to userspace.
the AKMs advertized in akm_suites are default capabilities if not
advertized for a specific interface type in iftype_akm_suites.

Instead of just having an airtime flag in debugfs, turn AQL into a proper
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE, so drivers can turn it on when they are ready, and so
we also expose the presence of the feature to userspace.
This also has the effect of flipping the default, so drivers have to opt in
to using AQL instead of getting it by default with TXQs. To keep
functionality the same as pre-patch, we set this feature for ath10k (which
is where it is needed the most).
While we're at it, split out the debugfs interface so AQL gets its own
per-station debugfs file instead of using the 'airtime' file.
[Johannes:]
This effectively disables AQL for iwlwifi, where it fixes a number of
issues:
* TSO in iwlwifi is causing underflows and associated warnings in AQL
* HE (802.11ax) rates aren't reported properly so at HE rates, AQL could
never have a valid estimate (it'd use 6 Mbps instead of up to 2400!)

This provides an alternative mechanism for AP VLAN support where a
single netdev is used with VLAN tagged frames instead of separate
netdevs for each VLAN without tagged frames from the WLAN driver.
By setting NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_VLAN_OFFLOAD flag the driver indicates
support for a single netdev with VLAN tagged frames. Separate
VLAN-specific netdevs can be added using RTM_NEWLINK/IFLA_VLAN_ID
similarly to Ethernet. NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY (for group keys),
NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION, and NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION will optionally
specify vlan_id using NL80211_ATTR_VLAN_ID.

This commit documents the expectation for NL80211_ATTR_IE when included
in NL80211_CMD_CONNECT, as following.
Driver shall not modify the IEs specified through NL80211_ATTR_IE if
NL80211_ATTR_MAC is included. However, if NL80211_ATTR_MAC_HINT is
included, these IEs through NL80211_ATTR_IE are specified by the user
space based on the best possible BSS selected. Thus, if the driver ends
up selecting a different BSS, it can modify these IEs accordingly (e.g.
userspace asks the driver to perform PMKSA caching with BSS1 and the
driver ends up selecting BSS2 with different PMKSA cache entry. RSNIE
has to get updated with the apt PMKID).

802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit
(EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.
Introduce new NL attributes that are needed for enabling and
configuring EDMG support.
Two new attributes are used by kernel to publish driver's EDMG
capabilities to the userspace:
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16
GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver.
When this attribute is not set it means driver does not support EDMG.
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represent the channel bandwidth
configurations supported by the driver.
Additional two new attributes are used by the userspace for connect
command and for AP configuration:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG
New rate info flag - RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG, can be reported from driver
and used for bitrate calculation that will take into account EDMG
according to the 802.11ay specification.
