Refactoring done in commit 46ee0427b1
(IEEE 802.11u: Allow Interworking and HESSID to be configured)
broke adding extra IEs in sched scan. The IEs stopped being added
to the scan params within wpa_supplicant_extra_ies() but no code
was added to add them in wpa_supplicant_req_sched_scan().
Fix this and remove unused params arg in wpa_supplicant_extra_ies().

Commit 7c865c6853 introduced a code
path that can skip extra_ie initialization in wpa_supplicant_scan().
This could result in semi-random crashes when using the autoscan
mechanism. Fix this by initializing extra_ie to NULL.

Like bgscan, autoscan is an optional module based feature to automate
scanning but while disconnected or inactive.
Instead of requesting directly a scan, it only sets the scan_interval
and the sched_scan_interval. So, if the driver supports sched_scan,
autoscan will be able to tweak its interval. Otherwise, the tweaked
scan_interval will be used. If scan parameters needs to be tweaked, an
autoscan_params pointer in wpa_s will provide those. So req_scan /
req_sched_scan will not set the scan parameters as they usually do, but
instead will use this pointer.
Modules will not have to request a scan directly, like bgscan does.
Instead, it will need to return the interval it wants after each
notification.

Excessive debug level can now be used to dump the IEs received in scan
results from both Beacon and Probe Response frames. This makes it easier
to debug issues where the driver (or well, more likely cfg80211) does
not update the IEs based on Beacon frames if even a single Probe
Response frame has been received.

The nl80211 driver interface does not allow 128-bit WEP to be used
without a vendor specific cipher suite and no such suite is defined for
this purpose. Do not accept WEP key length 16 for nl80211 driver
interface forn ow. wext-interface can still try to use these for
backwards compatibility.

Do not try to associate with a network that has an invalid or incomplete
configuration because the association or at least data connection would
fail anyway. This commits adds a common function for checking whether a
network block is disabled to make it easier to check network blocks
without having to reject them during configuration file parsing (which
would prevent wpa_supplicant from starting). The only additional check
added in this commit is to verify the WEP key length. Similar checks for
other parameters can be added in future commits.

When the network configuration includes exactly the number of
scan_ssid=1 networks as the driver supports for scan_sched and no
networks need wildcard SSID scan, there is no need to use sched_scan
timeout. Check this condition and optimize this case to avoid the extra
sched_scan start/stop operations.

The debug messages were showing the opposite of what the actual

This new configuration parameter can be used to disable automatic

Since P2P GO cannot change the SSID after WPS provisioning step, we
can use the specific SSID for the scan for data connection. In addition,
mark this as p2p_probe to avoid unnecessary use of 802.11b rates.

Since the P2P client learns the SSID of the group during GO Negotiation,
use the specific SSID in the Probe Request frames during the
provisioning step. This helps in avoiding unnecessary Probe Response
frames from other P2P GOs or APs.

Use Device Password ID in WSC IE of Probe Request and Probe Response
frames to advertise immediate availability of WPS credentials per P2P
specification sections 3.1.2.1.1 (Listen State), 3.1.2.1.2 (Scan Phase),
and 3.1.2.1.3 (Find Phase).
For now, the Device Password ID is set only for the case where we are
active GO Negotiation with a specific peer. In practice, this means that
the Probe Response frames during pending GO Negotiation (whenever in
Listen state) indicate availability of the credential.

wpa_supplicant can now be configured to filter out scan results based
on a BSSID filter. Space-separated set of allowed BSSIDs can be set
with wpa_cli set bssid_filter command. Filtering mechanism can be
disabled by setting this variable to an empty list. When set, only
the BSSes that have a matching entry in this list will be accepted
from scan results.

Normal scan is more reliable and faster for WPS operations and since
these are for short periods of time, the benefit of trying to use
sched_scan would be limited. This can fix WPS connectivity issues
with some drivers.

For drivers limited to scan a single SSID at a time, this prevents
waiting too long for a wildcard scan in case there are several

wpas_wps_in_use() was forcing WPS to be enabled unconditionally if P2P
support was included in the build. This is not really the correct
behavior for the case when P2P has been disabled at runtime. Change the
code here to verify runtime configuration of P2P before forcing WPS to
be enabled. This allows WSC IE to be left out from Probe Request frames
when scanning for APs without P2P or WPS being in use.

If the BSSID of the AP is specified in the WPS command, the target
AP is likely already in the BSS table and its operating channel is
known. Use this information to speed up connection by only scanning
the known channel.

Trying to run sched_scan round every two seconds by defaults sounds way
too frequent since dualband cards are unlikely to be able to complete
the full scan cycle in two seconds. For now, set the hardcoded value to
10 seconds to make this somewhat more reasonable.

When normal scan can speed up operations, use that for the first three
scan runs before starting the sched_scan to allow user space sleep more.
We do this only if the normal scan has functionality that is suitable
for this or if the sched_scan does not have better support for multiple
SSIDs.

Previously, only networks with scan_ssid=1 were included in sched_scan.
This needs to behave similarly to the normal scan where broadcast SSID
is used to find networks that are not scanned for with a specific SSID.

Instead of including only a single SSID in the sched_scan request if
the driver does not support match sets, just drop the SSID filter and
configure more SSIDs up to the sched_scan limit.

The filter_ssids pointer needs to be set to NULL if no SSID filters

Even though scan_ssid should not really be set for wildcard SSID,
better verify that here explicitly insead of assuming that the

Scan wasn't initiated in case the config contained only networks without
scan_ssid. In such a case we want scan to be initiated without any SSIDs
to actively scan but include all the SSIDs in the filter list. Also
added some debug logs to easily see which SSIDs were included in which
list.

In scan.c, merge a channel's noise value into the scan results. When
comparing scan results, compute the signal-to-noise ratio and use it
when available. Prefer a 5 GHz network if its SNR is really big (> 30)
or if its SNR is relatively close to the other network's.
The interface may not yet have been set to P2P client mode immediately
after GO Negotiation when doing the scan before association request.
Consequently, the scan request in this state has to specify that the
specific P2P probe mode is used to disable IEEE 802.11b rates.

This code was used only with driver_test.c to allow MLME operations
in hostapd to be tested without having to use a real radio. There
are no plans on extending this to any other use than testing and
mac80211_hwsim has now obsoled the need for this type of testing.
As such, we can drop this code from wpa_supplicant to clean up the
implementation of unnecessary complexity.
The new wpa_supplicant.conf file global parameters interworking and
hessid can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to include
Interworking element in Probe Request frames.
When initializing, the scheduled scan code was being called before
everything is ready. With normal scans, the first scan round is
delayed, so the initialization is finished by the time it really
starts.
Add a function that can be used to request a delayed scheduled scan.
The scan will only start after the specified time has elapsed. Call
this function instead of starting the scheduled scan directly during
driver initialization.

Pass SSIDs to be matched in scheduled scan results. Only the SSIDs
that are included in the match lists will be reported by the driver,

In new Linux kernel versions (>=3.0), nl80211 adds scheduled scan
capability. In order to use this feature to its full extent, we need
to support it in the wpa_supplicant core, so that it can also be used
by other drivers.
This commit adds initial scheduled scan support operations and events.

Move some code to separate functions to reorganize the P2P and WPS
handling during scans. This makes the code a bit cleaner and is
needed for the scheduled scan implementation to avoid duplicated code.

The new function, p2p_scan_ie_buf_len(), can be used to figure out
how large a buffer needs to be allocated for p2p_scan_ie() use. This
makes it easier to add new data into the buffer without forcing all
callers to be updated to use a larger buffer.
The P2P search mechanism depends on the same scan functionality that
is used for station mode scans. If these operations are being used
at the same time, scan result processing is not handled properly.
Avoid unexpected behavior by delaying station mode scan requests
if a P2P operation is in progress.
Among other things, this allows the station mode connection attempt
to be continued after a P2P find or group formation has been completed
if the interface is available (i.e., when the P2P group uses a
separate virtual interface).
There are some corner cases, where the wpa_supplicant_req_scan() call
may end up scheduling a scan even if we are about to start a GO. Avoid
this by explicitly marking the GO network to be selected for the next
connection.
This converts number of debugging messages to use wpa_msg() in order
to allow the interface name to be shown with the messages.
A new function, wpa_dbg(), is introduced to allow
CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG=y builds to remove the debug strings. This is
otherwise identical with wpa_msg(), but it gets compiled out if stdout
debugging is disabled.
The special case of requiring blacklisting count to be 2 or higher
is only needed when more than a single network is currently enabled.
As such, we should not do that when only a single network is enabled.
This make the station more likely to follow network side load
balancing attempts where the current AP may disassociate us with
an assumption that we would move to another AP.
When authentication or association fails when trying to connect to
a BSS in an ESS that has multiple BSSes based on previous scans,
limit the first recovery scan to only the known channels that has
been seen previously. This speeds up recovery in some of the most
commonly used load balancing mechanisms in enterprise WLAN
networks.
This is not supposed to happen, but in theory, the GO may end up
changing its channels at some point. While it would be reasonable
to use one of the common channels, GO may be forced to use another
channel. The most likely reason for this would be if the P2P client
is enforcing only a single channel to be used (e.g., to avoid
multi-channel concurrent operations).
