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

2017-02-08T08:19:17+00:00

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

2015-08-14T15:49:53+00:00

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

2015-05-05T12:21:54+00:00

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

mac80211: make station hash table max_size configurable

2015-04-23T15:26:06+00:00

Allow debug builds to configure the station hash table maximum size in order to run with hash collisions in limited scenarios such as hwsim testing. The default remains 0 which effectively means no limit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80111: Add GCMP and GCMP-256 ciphers

2015-01-27T10:06:09+00:00

This allows mac80211 to configure GCMP and GCMP-256 to the driver and also use software-implementation within mac80211 when the driver does not support this with hardware accelaration. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen [remove a spurious newline] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: 802.11p OCB mode support

2014-11-04T12:18:21+00:00

This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode support. When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID (48 '1' bits) is used. The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support 802.11p specific values. The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion. The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode). New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHz

2014-10-21T11:25:26+00:00

When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'), there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES remains 8. Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only* (default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is supported. Regarding the debugfs stats buffer: It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) after: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) VHT40/LGI MCS5/2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0) Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan Cc: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: process the CSA frame for mesh accordingly

2013-10-28T14:05:28+00:00

Process the CSA frame according to the procedures define in IEEE Std 802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 as follow: * The mesh channel switch parameters element (MCSP) must be availabe. * If the MCSP's TTL is 1, drop the frame but still process the CSA. * If the MCSP's precedence value is less than or equal to the current precedence value, drop the frame and do not process the CSA. * The CSA frame is forwarded after TTL is decremented by 1 and the initiator field is set to 0. Transmit restrict field and others are maintained as is. * No beacon or probe response frame are handled here. Also, introduce the debug message used for mesh CSA purpose.

mac80211: port CCMP to cryptoapi's CCM driver

2013-10-11T13:38:20+00:00

Use the generic CCM aead chaining mode driver rather than a local implementation that sits right on top of the core AES cipher. This allows the use of accelerated implementations of either CCM as a whole or the CTR mode which it encapsulates. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
