wifi: remove obsolete hostap driver

2023-10-30T17:29:52+00:00

HostAP is an ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver supporting only wireless extensions, and some custom ioctls (already removed). Some devices include a legacy PCI bridge but no DMA. The driver was marked obsolete in 2016 and is highly unlikely to still have any users. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

wifi: hostap: remove unused ioctl function

2023-10-14T06:41:22+00:00

The ioctl handler has no actual callers in the kernel and is useless. All the functionality should be reachable through the regualar interfaces. Acked-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231011140225.253106-9-arnd@kernel.org

wifi: hostap: Add __counted_by for struct prism2_download_data and use struct_size()

2023-10-11T09:20:12+00:00

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). While there, use struct_size() helper, instead of the open-coded version, to calculate the size for the allocation of the whole flexible structure, including of course, the flexible-array member. This code was found with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and fixed manually. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.

wifi: hostap: fix stringop-truncations GCC warning

2023-06-16T09:24:16+00:00

With GCC 13.1 and W=1 hostap has a warning: drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_ioctl.c:3633:17: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] fortify-string.h recommends not to use strncpy() so use strscpy() which fixes the warning. Also now it's guarenteed that the string is NUL-terminated. Compile tested only. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230613140918.389690-4-kvalo@kernel.org

wifi: add HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2023-05-25T16:08:30+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will result in inb()/outb() and friends not being declared. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them.

treewide: Convert del_timer() to timer_shutdown()

2022-12-25T21:38:09+00:00

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added called "shutdown". After a timer is set to this state, then it can no longer be re-armed. The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the object holding the timer is freed. It also ignores any locations where the timer->function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(), as that is not considered a "trivial" case. This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following commands: $ cat timer.cocci @@ expression ptr, slab; identifier timer, rfield; @@ ( - del_timer(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown(&ptr->timer); | - del_timer_sync(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown_sync(&ptr->timer); ) ... when strict when != ptr->timer ( kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield); | kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr); | kfree(ptr); ) $ spatch timer.cocci . > /tmp/t.patch $ patch -p1 < /tmp/t.patch Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221123201306.823305113@linutronix.de/ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Acked-by: Pavel Machek [ LED ] Acked-by: Kalle Valo [ wireless ] Acked-by: Paolo Abeni [ networking ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

wifi: hostap: Avoid clashing function prototypes

2022-11-16T09:31:47+00:00

When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1]. Fix a total of 42 warnings like these: ../drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_ioctl.c:3868:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, char *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict] (iw_handler) prism2_get_name, /* SIOCGIWNAME */ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The hostap Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit member selection in the function body instead of having a function prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences before/after changes. These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of Coccinelle. Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/235 Link: https://reviews.llvm.org/D134831 [1] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

intersil: Use struct_group() for memcpy() region

2021-11-29T10:45:17+00:00

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. Use struct_group() in struct hfa384x_tx_frame around members frame_control, duration_id, addr1, addr2, addr3, and seq_ctrl, so they can be referenced together. This will allow memcpy() and sizeof() to more easily reason about sizes, improve readability, and avoid future warnings about writing beyond the end of frame_control. "pahole" shows no size nor member offset changes to struct hfa384x_tx_frame. "objdump -d" shows no object code changes.
