wlan/atheros - Synchronize sleep state code from FreeBSD

* Synchronize Adrian Chadd's sleep state code and wlan updates.

* With this commit if the wlan or ath interface is in a 'down' state,
it will use full sleep mode and save power.

* We get all of ATH through today but the 802_11 changes are a bit
too substantial so this commit only brings in the sleep state code
through today (3-May-2014).

* There is a bunch of other 802_11 work that needs to be brought in
but it's like 20,000 lines of patches so... not today.

* Verified operational on Acer C720 chromebook. full-sleep mode saves
0.3-0.4W. Network sleep mode code is also verified to be operational
but does not appear to save any power at the moment.

Also verified: beacons are working properly for wakeups on packet
reception.

wlan: ifaltq is no longer ifqueue

kern - Utilize new way of printing MAC addresses.

kether_aton() function is being used to return a buffer

if: Multiple TX queue support step 1 of many; introduce ifaltq subqueue

Put the plain queue information, e.g. queue header and tail, serializer,
packet staging scoreboard and ifnet.if_start schedule netmsg etc. into
its own structure (subqueue). ifaltq structure could have multiple of
subqueues based on the count that drivers can specify.

Subqueue's enqueue, dequeue, purging and states updating are protected
by the subqueue's serializer, so for hardwares supporting multiple TX
queues, contention on queuing operation could be greatly reduced.

The subqueue is passed to if_start to let the driver know which hardware
TX queue to work on. Only the related driver's TX queue serializer will
be held, so for hardwares supporting multiple TX queues, contention on
driver's TX queue serializer could be greatly reduced.

Bunch of ifsq_ prefixed functions are added, which is used to perform
various operations on subqueues. Commonly used ifq_ prefixed functions
are still kept mainly for the drivers which do not support multiple TX
queues (well, these functions also ease the netif/ convertion in this
step :).

All of the pseudo network devices under sys/net are converted to use the
new subqueue operation. netproto/802_11 is converted too. igb(4) is
converted to use the new subqueue operation, the rest of the network
drivers are only changed for the if_start interface modification.

For ALTQs which have packet scheduler enabled, only the first subqueue
is used (*).

(*) Whether we should utilize multiple TX queues if ALTQ's packet scheduler
is enabled is quite questionable. Mainly because hardware's multiple TX
queue packet dequeue mechanism could have negative impact on ALTQ's packet
scheduler's decision.

Split ifnet serialize step 1/many: Add if_{serialize,deserialize,tryserialize}()
function pointers to ifnet.

These three function pointers accept ifnet struct and ifnet_serialize
enumeration.

The ifnet_serialize enumeration indicates the serialization type:
IFNET_SERIALIZE_ALL:
All of the serializers should be held. Except for if_start and if_input,
this enumeration must be used when call ifnet function pointers.
IFNET_SERIALIZE_TX:
Only transmit serializer should be held. This enumeration could be used
when calling ifnet.if_start.
IFNET_SERIALIZE_RX:
Only receive serializer should be held. This enumeration could be used
when calling ifnet.if_input.

If the NIC driver does not set these three function pointer, then if_attach()
will set them to the default ones: only one serializer (if_serializer) is used
and ifnet_serialize parameter is ignored.

Following several inline functions are added which are sheer wrappers of the
three ifnet serialize function pointers:
ifnet_serialize_{all,tx,rx}()
ifnet_deserialize_{all,tx,rx}()
ifnet_tryserialize_{all,tx,rx}()

All of the protocol layers and most of the pseudo drivers are converted.

- Call ieee80211_reset_state(), if operational mode is going to be

original way, if we are acting as AP and switch directly to act as
STA, we will send out wrong management frames.
- Call ieee80211_reset_state(), if PHY is going to be changed. This
prevents panic (due to a proper assertion) under following scenario:
o Current PHY of the AP is 11b.
o An 11b STA joins the BSS created by the AP. Since AP's current
PHY is 11b, this STA will not be counted as long slot time STA,
i.e. long slot time STA count left untouched.
o Switch AP's PHY to 11g.
AP will panick (long slot time STA count is zero, while there is a
long slot time STA associated, in ieee80211_node_leave_11g()). The
assertion fails, because 802.11 state machine is doing its clean up
as if AP were using 11g PHY, but it actually used 11b PHY.

[committed on behalf of sephe]

- Fix ieee80211_node leakage. The leakage is caused by calling IF_DRAIN()
on management ifqueue whose mbuf's m_pkthdr.rcvif has special meaning:
it holds ieee80211_node to which the management frame should be sent and
the node has its reference count bumped.
Add a new function ieee80211_drain_mgtq(), which frees ieee80211_node
pointed by mbuf's m_pkthdr.rcvif before freeing the mbuf. Use this function
to drain management ifqueue instead of IF_DRAIN().

by ieee80211_newstate(IEEE80211_S_INIT). (*)

The basic rates will be marked on ieee80211com.ic_sup_rates once we get the

- Rename ieee80211_set11gbasicrates() to ieee80211_set_basicrates(). Add
additional parameter to indicate whether we are using Pure G or not.
- In ieee80211_set_basicrates():
o Extend basic rate set array by adding items for Turbo G mode (mixed 11B/G
basic rates) and Turbo A mode (11A mandatory rates).
o Add an assertion to make sure we will not go beyond the end of the basic
rate set array.
o Use a seperate constant for Pure G basic rate set.
o If 'mode' is 11G or Turbo G, and Pure G is required, use Pure G's basic
rate set, instead of mixed 11B/G basic rate set. This makes a standard
conforming 11B STA not try joining a Pure G BSS created by us.
- In ieee80211_recv_mgmt():
o Send probe response even if rate negotiation fails. According to
IEEE Std 802.11, 1999 Edition, subclause 11.1.3.2.1:
....
STAs, subject to criteria below, receiving Probe Request frames shall
respond with a probe response only if the SSID in the probe request is
the broadcast SSID or matches the specific SSID of the STA. ... ...
An AP shall respond to all probe requests meeting the above criteria.
In an IBSS, the STA that generated the last beacon shall be the STA that
responds to a probe request.
....

If we reach the rate negotiation step, then the "criteria" outlined by
the standard is already met.
o Don't do rate negotiation for temporary nodes, which are created just for
sending probe responses. This may save us some cpu time.
- Reset NIC for Pure G change, only if opmode is HOSTAP or IBSS(*), and phy
mode is either Turbo G or 11G.
- Don't allocate TX rate control data for temporary nodes, since they will be
reclaimed immediately after management frames are sent.

# (*) Actually, for IBSS opmode, we need to reset the NIC iff we are the only

Massive 802_11 XRATE bug fixing.

- Correct ieee80211_fix_rate(IEEE80211_F_DODEL) operation by entering
IEEE80211_F_DONEGO code segment but avoiding real negotiation.
- In ieee80211_fix_rate(), remove duplicated rates if rate set is to
be sorted. This should be enough to protect us against maliciously
minted 802.11 management frames which contain supported rate and
extended supported rate ies. [*]
- In ieee80211_sta_join(), call ieee80211_fix_rate(IEEE80211_F_DODEL),
if the wireless NIC operates in STA mode. So drivers can depend on
ieee80211com.ic_bss's ni_rates even before entering RUN state, this
is *very important* for certain driver e.g. iwi(4) [*].
- Add ic_nbasicrates in ieee80211com, which records the number of
basic rates in the current BSS. [1]
- Add a new function ieee80211_copy_basicrates(). This function is
used to propagate IEEE80211_RATE_BASIC bit from second parameter
to the first parameter. It will return number of basic rates in
the second parameter. It is called in ieee80211_sta_join() to
properly setup basic rates in ieee80211com.ic_sup_rates and
ieee80211com.ic_nbasicrates. [2]
- Introduce extra parameter to ieee80211_setup_rates() and
ieee80211_fix_rate().
This parameter only affects how IEEE80211_F_DONEGO is done.
Adjust IEEE80211_F_DONEGO behavior after introducing this parameter:
If the new parameter is 1, then the negotiation is performed on the
behalf of a STA which wants to join either an infrastructured or an
independent BSS, and the rate set going to be negotiated is the BSS's
supported rate set:
o Don't overwrite the BSS basic rate set. So drivers and TX rate
control algorithm can have knowledge of the BSS basic rate set and
can do various setting accordingly.
o Avoid joining the BSS, if certain rates in the BSS basic rate set
are not supported.
If the new parameter is 0, then the negotiation is performed on the
behalf of a HOSTAP, or a STA that already joined/started an independent
BSS, and the rate set going to be negotiated is peer STA's supported
rate set:
o Overwrite the basic rates of peer STA's supported rate set with
basic rates in ieee80211com.ic_sup_rates, which is set up properly
in ieee80211_sta_join() by ieee80211_copy_basicrates() (see [2]),
so TX rate control algorithm can act accordingly.
o If the current operation mode is IEEE80211_M_HOSTAP, use a counter
to bookkeep how many basic rates got overwritten during negotiation.
If at the end of the negotiation the counter is less than
ieee80211com.ic_nbasicrates (see [1] and [2]), then it means that
the peer STA does not support certain rates in our basic rate set.
This kind of STA should not be allowed to join the current BSS.
This prevention mechanism should be more straightforword than the
old one in ieee80211_recv_mgmt(), nuke the old prevention mechanism
after this change.
- In ieee80211_init_neighbor(), do full rate set negotiation, so nodes
created by ieee80211_add_neighbor() or ieee80211_fakeup_adhoc_node(),
will not contain rates that the wireless NIC does not support.
- In ieee80211_{beacon,probe_resp}_alloc(), use ieee80211com.ic_sup_rates
to setup supported rates and extended supported rates ie, instead of
using ieee80211com.ic_bss's ni_rates. So two 11g STAs in a 11g/11b
mixed IBSS can comunicate with each other using OFDM rates, given proper
protection, like RTS-CTS/CTS-to-self, is applied. [**]
- In ieee80211_send_mgmt(), use ieee80211com.ic_sup_rates to create
supported rates and extended supported rates ie of (re)association
response. So these ies are consistent with what's in beacon and probe
response. [**]
- In ieee80211_send_mgmt(), use ieee80211_probe_resp_alloc() to create
frame body of probe response.
- Add more XRATE debug messages.
