ea5bae4731 Increase min sched_scan interval from 2 to 10 seconds
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.

0b7a25c00f Use normal scan before sched_scan if that can speed up connection
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.

76a5249e52 Add broadcast SSID for sched_scan for scan_ssid=0 networks
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.

1966e3d1b7 sched scan: Fix passive scanning
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.

577db0aedd Prefer 5 GHz networks over 2.4 GHz networks
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.

d1dd48e3c9 P2P: Indicate scan during group formation as P2P probe
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.

17fbb751e1 Remove user space client MLME
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.

6a90053cdf Add delayed scheduled scan request
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.

cbdf3507e9 Add scheduled scan driver operations
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.

303f60d39b P2P: Do not request station mode scans during P2P operations
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).

f049052b9e Use wpa_msg() instead of wpa_printf()
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.

5471c3434e Blacklist BSS on first failure if only a single network is enabled
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.

2af1c18735 P2P: Scan all channels if GO is not found from common channels
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).

signal strength next without considering security policy or rate sets.
