50f4f2a066 hostapd: Add Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) support
This adds ACS support to hostapd. Currently only survey-based
algorithm is available.

To use ACS you need to enable CONFIG_ACS=y in .config and use
channel=0 (or channel=acs_survey) in hostapd.conf.

For more details see wiki page [1] or comments in src/ap/acs.c.

245e026ec8 hostapd: Split up channel checking into helpers
This splits up the channel checking upon initialization into a few
helpers. This should make this a bit easier to follow. This also paves
the way for some initial ACS entry code.

3aea5fbe3b hostapd: Do not change HT40 capability due to OBSS scan
The capability itself isn't really affected by an OBSS
scan, only the HT operation must then be restricted to
20 MHz. Change this, and therefore use the secondary
channel configuration to determine the setting of the
OP_MODE_20MHZ_HT_STA_ASSOCED flag.

This shouldn't really change anything functionally,
it just makes the code a little less confusing and
is also needed to implement more dynamic bandwidth
changes if ever desired.

7829894c21 Introduce 60 GHz band
Basic support for the 60 GHz band. Neither P2P nor WPS are yet taken
care off. Allows to start AP with very simple config:

network={
        ssid="test"
        mode=2
        frequency=60480
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

f0898e9519 Make copies basic_rates list more useful
Commit e5693c4775 added a copy of the
determined basic rate set into struct hostapd_iface, but did not
actually copy the terminating -1 value. This could be problematic if
something were to actually try to use this list since would be no way to
know what is the last entry in the list. Fix this by copying the
terminating value.

to scan for based on the affected frequency range to speed up the

9e0e6902a2 Share a single wpa_scan_results_free() implementation
There is not really a very good location for this anywhere, but the
function is small enough to live as an inline function for now.

7615078caf AP: Make sure ieee80211n_allowed_ht40_channel_pair() gets called

1b4d379366 AP: Ensure ieee80211n_supported_ht_capab() gets called to check ht caps
ieee80211n_supported_ht_capab is called after ieee80211n_check_40mhz in
function hostapd_check_ht_capab. ieee80211n_check_40mhz can return 1 in
a valid scenario where the initialization is completed in a callback. In
this case ieee80211n_supported_ht_capab is skipped and hostapd does not
check the ht capabilities reported by the driver. Fix this issue making
sure ieee80211n_supported_ht_capab gets called.

416192628d Fix AP mode 40 MHz pri/sec channel parsing in overlap determination
The previous implementation ended up incorrectly assuming that all
40 MHz use cases have secondary channel above the primary one. Fix this
by properly masking the secondary channel offset field and checking its
value.
