In 'cfg80211_wext_siwscan()', add extra check whether number of
channels passed via 'ioctl(sock, SIOCSIWSCAN, ...)' doesn't exceed
IW_MAX_FREQUENCIES and reject invalid request with -EINVAL otherwise.

<title>wifi: cfg80211: wext: set ssids=NULL for passive scans</title>

<content type='text'>
In nl80211, we always set the ssids of a scan request to
NULL when n_ssids==0 (passive scan). Drivers have relied
on this behaviour in the past, so we fixed it in 6 GHz
scan requests as well, and added a warning so we'd have
assurance the API would always be called that way.

syzbot found that wext doesn't ensure that, so we reach
the check and trigger the warning. Fix the wext code to
set the ssids pointer to NULL when there are none.

<id>f7a8b10bfd614d7a9a16fbe80d28ead4f063cb00</id>
<content type='text'>
The 6 GHz scan request struct allocated by cfg80211_scan_6ghz() is
meant to be formed this way:

 [base struct][channels][ssids][6ghz_params]

It is allocated with [channels] as the maximum number of channels
supported by the driver in the 6 GHz band, since allocation is
before knowing how many there will be.

However, the inner pointers are set incorrectly: initially, the
6 GHz scan parameters pointer is set:

 [base struct][channels]
                        ^ scan_6ghz_params

and later the SSID pointer is set to the end of the actually
_used_ channels.

 [base struct][channels]
                  ^ ssids

If many APs were to be discovered, and many channels used, and
there were many SSIDs, then the SSIDs could overlap the 6 GHz
parameters.

Additionally, the request-&gt;ssids for most of the function points
to the original request still (given the struct copy) but is used
normally, which is confusing.

Clear this up, by actually using the allocated space for 6 GHz
parameters _after_ the SSIDs, and set up the SSIDs initially so
they are used more clearly. Just like in nl80211.c, set them
only if there actually are SSIDs though.

Finally, also copy the elements (ie/ie_len) so they're part of
the same request, not pointing to the old request.

The commit 9bb7e0f24e7e ("cfg80211: add peer measurement with FTM
initiator API") defines four attributes NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_
{NUM_BURSTS_EXP}/{BURST_PERIOD}/{BURST_DURATION}/{FTMS_PER_BURST} in
following ways.

static const struct nla_policy
nl80211_pmsr_ftm_req_attr_policy[NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_MAX + 1] = {
    ...
    [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_NUM_BURSTS_EXP] =
        NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 15),
    [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_BURST_PERIOD] = { .type = NLA_U16 },
    [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_BURST_DURATION] =
        NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 15),
    [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_FTMS_PER_BURST] =
        NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 31),
    ...
};

That is, those attributes are expected to be NLA_U8 and NLA_U16 types.
However, the consumers of these attributes in `pmsr_parse_ftm` blindly
all use `nla_get_u32`, which is incorrect and causes functionality issues
on little-endian platforms. Hence, fix them with the correct `nla_get_u8`
and `nla_get_u16` functions.

Wiphy should be locked before calling rdev_get_station() (see lockdep
assert in ieee80211_get_station()).

This fixes the following kernel NULL dereference:

This happens because STA has time to disconnect and reconnect before
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update() delayed work gets scheduled. In
this situation, ath10k_sta_state() can be in the middle of resetting
arsta data when the work queue get chance to be scheduled and ends up
accessing it. Locking wiphy prevents that.

 Code: a9bb7bfd 910003fd a90153f3 f9411c40 (f9402814)

This happens because STA has time to disconnect and reconnect before
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update() delayed work gets scheduled. In
this situation, ath10k_sta_state() can be in the middle of resetting
arsta data when the work queue get chance to be scheduled and ends up
accessing it. Locking wiphy prevents that.

<title>wifi: cfg80211: fully move wiphy work to unbound workqueue</title>

Previously I had moved the wiphy work to the unbound
system workqueue, but missed that when it restarts and
during resume it was still using the normal system
workqueue. Fix that.

<title>tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()</title>

<id>2c92ca849fcc6ee7d0c358e9959abc9f58661aea</id>
<content type='text'>
With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a &gt; /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

   profilers

 - Remove redundant OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc.

<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>

<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).
