* kernel: package x86-optimized crypto-misc modulesDaniel Gimpelevich2018-07-301-2/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the modules in the crypto-misc package have alternate implementations optimized for different x86 instruction set extensions, but only one of these was built for this package until now: twofish-i586.ko Tested with insmod, on both x86 and x86_64. The modules now have an autoload, which they previous didn't, loading the dependencies in the correct order. Signed-off-by: Daniel Gimpelevich <daniel@gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us>

* mac80211: brcmfmac: backport 4.19 patches preparing monitor mode supportRafał Miłecki2018-07-276-1/+383
| | | | | | | | Monitor mode isn't supported yet with brcmfmac, it's just an early work. This also prepares brcmfmac to work stable with new firmwares which use updated struct for passing STA info. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>
* mac80211: backport brcmfmac fixes & debugging helpers from 4.18Rafał Miłecki2018-07-269-2/+341
| | | | | | | | | | | | The most important is probably regression fix in handling platform NVRAM. That bug stopped hardware from being properly calibrated breaking e.g. 5 GHz for Netgear R8000. Other than that it triggers memory dumps when experiencing firmware problems which is important for debugging purposes.

* kmod-sched-cake: bump to 20180716Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant2018-07-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bump to the latest cake recipe. This backports tc class support to kernel 4.9 and other than conditional kernel compilation pre-processor macros represents the cake that has gone upstream into kernel 4.19. Loud cheer! Fun may be had by changing cake tin classification for packets on ingress. e.g. tc filter add dev ifb4eth0 parent 800b: protocol ip u32 match \ ip dport 6981 0xffff action skbedit priority 800b:1 Where 800b: represents the filter handle for the ifb obtained by 'tc qdisc' and the 1 from 800b:1 represents the cake tin number. So the above example puts all incoming packets destined for port 6981 into the BULK (lowest priority) tin. f39ab9a Obey tin_order for tc filter classifiers 1e2473f Clean up after latest backport. 82531d0 Reorder includes to fix out of tree compilation 52cbc00 Code style cleanup 6cdb496 Fix argument order for NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR() cab17b6 Remove duplicate call to qdisc_watchdog_init() 71c7991 Merge branch 'backport-classful' 32aa7fb Fix compilation on Linux 4.9 9f8fe7a Fix compilation on Linux 4.14 ceab7a3 Rework filter classification aad5436 Fixed version of class stats be1c549 Add cake-specific class stats 483399d Use tin_order for class dumps 80dc129 Add class dumping 0c8e6c1 Fix dropping when using filters c220493 Add the minimum class ops 5ed54d2 Start implementing tc filter/class support Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant <ldir@darbyshire-bryant.me.uk>

* mac80211: Expose support for ath9k DynackKoen Vandeputte2018-07-111-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enables support for Dynack feature. When a remote station is far away, we need to compensate for the distance by allowing more time for an ACK to arrive back before issueing a retransmission. Currently, it needs to be set fixed to indicate the maximum distance the remote station will ever be. While this mostly works for static antennae, it introduces 2 issues: - If the actual distance is less, speed is reduced due to a lot of wates wait-time - If the distance becomes greater, retries start to occur and comms can get lost. Allowing to set it dynamically using dynack ensures the best possible tradeoff between speed vs distance. This feature is currently only supported in ath9k. it is also disabled by default. Enabling it can be done in 2 ways: - issue cmd: iw phy0 set distance auto - sending the NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag to mac80211 driver using netlink Disabling it can be done by providing a valid fixed value. To give an idea of a practical example: In my usecase, we have mesh wifi device installed on ships/platforms. Currently, the coverage class is set at 12000m fixed. When a vessel moved closer (ex. 1500m), the measured link capacity was a lot lower compared to setting the coverage class fixed to 1500m Dynack completely solved this, nearly providing double the bandwidth at closer range compared to the fixed setting of 12000m being used. Also when a vessel sailed to a distance greater than the fixed setting, communication was lost as the ACK's never arrived within the max allowed timeframe. Actual distance: 6010m iperf 60s run avg Fixed 12150m: 31 Mbit/s Dynack: 58 Mbit/s Fixed 6300m: 51 Mbit/s Dynack: 59 Mbit/s Fixed 3000m: 13 Mbit/s (lots of retries) Dynack: 58 Mbit/s Actual distance: 1504m iperf 60s run avg Fixed 12150m: 31 Mbit/s Dynack: 86 Mbit/s Fixed 6300m: 55 Mbit/s Dynack: 87 Mbit/s Fixed 3000m: 67 Mbit/s Dynack: 87 Mbit/s Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>
* mac80211: initialize sinfo in cfg80211_get_stationSven Eckelmann2018-07-071-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the implementations behind cfg80211_get_station will not initialize sinfo to zero before manipulating it. For example, the member "filled", which indicates the filled in parts of this struct, is often only modified by enabling certain bits in the bitfield while keeping the remaining bits in their original state. A caller without a preinitialized sinfo.filled can then no longer decide which parts of sinfo were filled in by cfg80211_get_station (or actually the underlying implementations). cfg80211_get_station must therefore take care that sinfo is initialized to zero. Otherwise, the caller may tries to read information which was not filled in and which must therefore also be considered uninitialized. In batadv_v_elp_get_throughput's case, an invalid "random" expected throughput may be stored for this neighbor and thus the B.A.T.M.A.N V algorithm may switch to non-optimal neighbors for certain destinations.

* ath10k-ct: search DT for BDF variant infoSven Eckelmann2018-07-073-1/+363
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and bmi-board-id. The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different board data file. This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8. Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has to be found for ath10k. The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name wifi@a000000 { status = "okay"; qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U"; }; wifi@a800000 { status = "okay"; qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U"; }; This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search * bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U * bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann@open-mesh.com>

After enabling this option, a LED named ath10k-phy0 appears in sysfs, and a trigger can be assigned to it. Since 60deb3cdef4a the default set trigger is the tpt one. Enable it by default, as most devices using ath10k chips shouldn't be severely space-constrained. There are likely many devices that can benefit from having it enabled, like my testing device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some ath10k firmware versions allow to access the chip internal a temperature sensor and allow to reduce the amount of the time when the card is allowed to send. The latter is required on devices which tend to overheat. An userspace service has to read /sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/temp1_input regularly and then decide how much the device has to be throttled. This can be done by writing to /sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/device/cooling_device/cur_state. By default it is not throttled (0) but it can be throttled up to 100(%).

How Raspberry Pi boots Actualy? When Raspberry is switched on GPU is activated. 1. GPU execute First stage bootloader from ROM. First stage bootloader mount the FAT boot partition on the SD card and execute second stage bootloader (bootcode.bin). 2. Second stage bootloader (bootcode.bin) activate SDRAM. Load the GPU firmware (start.elf). 3. GPU firmware (start.elf) a) display Rainbow splash. b) read firmware configuration file config.txt and split the RAM using fixup.dat. c) loads a cmdline.txt d) enables the CPU. e) loads the kernel image configurable via config.txt In your target/linux/brcm2708/image/config.txt 493 ## kernel (string) 494 ## Alternative name to use when loading kernel. 495 ## 496 #kernel="" it is not configured! But in your target/linux/brcm2708/image/Makefile 75 KERNEL_IMG := kernel8.img 76 DEVICE_TITLE := Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ you have kernel8.img GPU Firmware search order by default for a PI 3 is: kernel8.img if found boot in 64 bit mode kernel8-32.img if found boot in 32 bit mode kernel7.img if found boot in 32 bit mode kernel.img if found boot in 32 bit mode But a PI 2 will start the search from kernel7.img and a PI 1 only looks for kernel.img. Оbviously the kernel has been found. But something goes wrong and the device is restarted. In your package/kernel/brcm2708-gpu-fw/Makefile 11 PKG_NAME:=brcm2708-gpu-fw 12 PKG_VERSION:=2017-08-08 13 PKG_RELEASE:=e7ba7ab135f5a68b2c00a919ea9ac8d5528a5d5b boot loader is 10 monts old. In conclusion, the best way to solve the problem is to update the boot loader! Fixup_cd.dat and start_cd.elf files are not necessary. These are used when GPU memory is set to 16 MB, which disables some GPU features. I did not remove them just in case! cheers Signed-off-by: Christo Nedev <christo.nedev@gmail.com>
