The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev).
The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.
The return type of ieee80211_xmit should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.

The ieee80211_check_auth_response() function has a signedness bug because
it's a declared as a u16 but it return -ENOMEM. When you look at it more
closely it returns a mix of error codes including 0xcafe, -ENOMEM, and
a->status which is WLAN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_ALG. This is a mess.
Clean it up to just return standard kernel error codes. We can print
out the a->status before returning a regular error code. The printks
in the caller need to be adjusted as well.

Currently, these three get_key functions return -1 when the provided len
value is less a specific key length value, which can result in buffer
overflow depending on how the returned value is used. These functions are
used in three places in ieee80211/ieee80211_wx.c:
ieee80211_wx_get_encode() :
The behavior of this function will be unchanged.
ieee80211_wx_get_encode_ext() :
The result of the get_key function is written to ext->key_len,
resulting in a buffer overflow if the result is negative.
ieee80211_wx_set_encode() :
The behavior of this function will change. When len is less than the
key length value, it will set a default key of all 0.

There is a deadlock in ieee80211_beacons_stop(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| ieee80211_send_beacon()
ieee80211_beacons_stop() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | ieee80211_send_beacon_cb()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold ieee->beacon_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need ieee->beacon_lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, ieee80211_beacons_stop() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.

Add " == 0" to the condition in both else if branches to address a
possible bug. strcmp returns 0 when its arguments are equal, which
evaluates to false, often leading to errors when used in if statements.
Currently, the statement in the first else if branch does not execute
when its arguments are equal, but it does execute when crypt->ops->name
equals any string other than "WEP" or "TKIP".
Similarly, the second else if branch does not execute when its arguments
are equal, and it only executes when crypt->ops->name equals "TKIP".
The else branch never executes.
It is unlikely that this is working as intended.

Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system
by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical
path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for
the tasklet to finish before doing so.
rtllib_sta_ps() and ieee80211_sta_ps() will now run in process context
and have further concurrency (tasklets being serialized among themselves),
but this is done holding the ieee->lock, so it should be fine.

Replace if else statement with min_t or max_t macros to increase
readability and conform to Linux kernel coding style. The _t versions
of the macros must be used to avoid applying typeof to the bit fields
pPeerHTCap->MaxRxAMPDUFactor, and pPeerHTCap->MPDUDensity.

The init and exit functions are not releasing resource properly. An error
can be observed when we load/unload/load r8192u_usb module due to this
issue. This patch rework init and exit functions to do proper resource
release on init error and module unload.
The __exit attribute is stripped from some functions since they are now
being used by module init functions.

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.
Split the 3 addr memcpy() into 3 memcpy() calls so the compiler doesn't
think an overflowing memcpy() happens against the addr1 field (the
neighbors are intended to be copied as well).
ieee80211_read_qos_param_element() copies a struct ieee80211_info_element
into a struct ieee80211_qos_information_element, but is actually wanting to
copy into the larger struct ieee80211_qos_parameter_info (the contents of
ac_params_record[] is later examined). Refactor the routine to perform
centralized checks, and copy the entire contents directly (since the id
and len members match the elementID and length members):
struct ieee80211_info_element {
u8 id;
u8 len;
u8 data[];
} __packed;
struct ieee80211_qos_information_element {
u8 elementID;
u8 length;
u8 qui[QOS_OUI_LEN];
u8 qui_type;
u8 qui_subtype;
u8 version;
u8 ac_info;
} __packed;
struct ieee80211_qos_parameter_info {
struct ieee80211_qos_information_element info_element;
u8 reserved;
struct ieee80211_qos_ac_parameter ac_params_record[QOS_QUEUE_NUM];
} __packed;
Additionally replace old-style zero-element arrays with flexible arrays.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.
Conversion rule is:
llseek => proc_lseek
unlocked_ioctl => proc_ioctl
xxx => proc_xxx
delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

Checkpatch reports 'WARNING: printk() should include KERN_<LEVEL>
facility level'. Fix this by specifying a relevant KERN_<LEVEL> value
for each line in which it was missing.
Once they are fixed, checkpatch reports 'WARNING: Prefer [subsystem eg:
netdev]_dbg([subsystem]dev, ... then dev_dbg(dev, ... then
pr_debug(... to printk(KERN_DEBUG ...'. Fix this by replacing
relevant printk_<level> statements with their netdev_<level>
equivalent.

In order to make the entire kernel usable under Clang's Control Flow
Integrity protections, function prototype casts need to be avoided
because this will trip CFI checks at runtime (i.e. a mismatch between
the caller's expected function prototype and the destination function's
prototype). Many of these cases can be found with -Wcast-function-type,
which found that the rtl wifi drivers had a bunch of needless function
casts. Remove function casts for tasklet callbacks in the various drivers.

When the number of bytes to be printed exceeds the limit snprintf
returns the number of bytes that would have been printed (if there was
no truncation). This might cause issues, hence use scnprintf which
returns the actual number of bytes printed to buffer always.

Several blocks of code are guarded by #ifdef TO_DO_LIST. If this is
defined, compilation fails. No machinery exists to define this, and no
documenation on the in-progress feature exists. Since this code is dead,
let's delete it.

The pointer crypt is being set with a value that is never read,
the assignment is redundant and hence can be removed.
Thanks to Dan Carpenter for sanity checking that this was indeed
redundant.
