ath9k: fix build error with LEDS_CLASS=m

2021-01-28T07:29:34Z

When CONFIG_ATH9K is built-in but LED support is in a loadable module, both ath9k drivers fails to link: x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/gpio.o: in function `ath_deinit_leds': gpio.c:(.text+0x36): undefined reference to `led_classdev_unregister' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/gpio.o: in function `ath_init_leds': gpio.c:(.text+0x179): undefined reference to `led_classdev_register_ext' The problem is that the 'imply' keyword does not enforce any dependency but is only a weak hint to Kconfig to enable another symbol from a defconfig file. Change imply to a 'depends on LEDS_CLASS' that prevents the incorrect configuration but still allows building the driver without LED support. The 'select MAC80211_LEDS' is now ensures that the LED support is actually used if it is present, and the added Kconfig dependency on MAC80211_LEDS ensures that it cannot be enabled manually when it has no effect.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

net/mac80211: move WEP handling to ARC4 library interface

2019-06-20T06:18:33Z

The WEP code in the mac80211 subsystem currently uses the crypto API to access the arc4 (RC4) cipher, which is overly complicated, and doesn't really have an upside in this particular case, since ciphers are always synchronous and therefore always implemented in software. Given that we have no accelerated software implementations either, it is much more straightforward to invoke a generic library interface directly.

mac80211: rewrite Kconfig text for mesh

2018-12-05T14:32:28Z

Lubomir Rintel recently pointed out a dead link for o11s.org, and repointed it to a still live, but also stale website. As far as I know, no one is updating the content at open80211s.org. Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper. Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard, so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a little more helpful and accurate.

mac80211: minstrel: merge with minstrel_ht, always enable VHT support

2018-10-11T14:01:01Z

Legacy-only devices are not very common and the overhead of the extra code for HT and VHT rates is not big enough to justify all those extra lines of code to make it optional. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fils_aead: Use crypto api CMAC shash rather than bare cipher

2017-02-08T08:19:17Z

Switch the FILS AEAD code to use a cmac(aes) shash instantiated by the crypto API rather than reusing the open coded implementation in aes_cmac_vector(). This makes the code more understandable, and allows platforms to implement cmac(aes) in a more secure (*) and efficient way than is typically possible when using the AES cipher directly. So replace the crypto_cipher by a crypto_shash, and update the aes_s2v() routine to call the shash interface directly. * In particular, the generic table based AES implementation is sensitive to known-plaintext timing attacks on the key, to which AES based MAC algorithms are especially vulnerable, given that their plaintext is not usually secret. Time invariant alternatives are available (e.g., based on SIMD algorithms), but may incur a setup cost that is prohibitive when operating on a single block at a time, which is why they don't usually expose the cipher API.

mac80211: use DECLARE_EWMA

2015-08-14T15:49:53Z

Instead of using the out-of-line average calculation, use the new DECLARE_EWMA() macro to declare a signal EWMA, and use that. This actually *reduces* the code size slightly (on x86-64) while also reducing the station info size by 80 bytes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: move dot11 counters under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS

2015-05-05T12:21:54Z

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's very little point in maintaining them all the time. However, even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even concurrency safe. Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally not even compiled in. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
