d8899132 - wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 15:09:53 +0000

wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devicesath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, firstsupporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both APand station; WCN7850 supports only station mode. Monitor mode is not(yet) supported. Only PCI bus devices are supported.ath12k is forked from an earlier version of ath11k. It was simpler tohave a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share thecode with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids majorchanges in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the riskof regressions in existing setups.ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endianconversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilizedby ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko.Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, butwork is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support.The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the revieweasier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree,debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, afterath12k is accepted to upstream.The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCCand Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free ofcheckpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted onpurpose, list of them here:https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath12k/ath12k-check#L52The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabeticalorder below.Co-developed-by: Balamurugan Selvarajan Signed-off-by: Balamurugan Selvarajan Co-developed-by: Baochen Qiang Signed-off-by: Baochen Qiang Co-developed-by: Bhagavathi Perumal S Signed-off-by: Bhagavathi Perumal S Co-developed-by: Carl Huang Signed-off-by: Carl Huang Co-developed-by: Jeff Johnson Signed-off-by: Jeff Johnson Co-developed-by: Karthikeyan Periyasamy Signed-off-by: Karthikeyan Periyasamy Co-developed-by: P Praneesh Signed-off-by: P Praneesh Co-developed-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu Signed-off-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu Co-developed-by: Ramya Gnanasekar Signed-off-by: Ramya Gnanasekar Co-developed-by: Sriram R Signed-off-by: Sriram R Co-developed-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Co-developed-by: Wen Gong Signed-off-by: Wen Gong Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Makefile

d5c65159 - ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices

Sat, 23 Nov 2019 07:58:40 +0000

ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devicesath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, firstsupporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11kuses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especiallythe WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start"for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. Thismakes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, whichwould have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existingsetups.Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are majordifferences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11ksupports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. Andthere's only one WMI interface to support.Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k isaccepted to upstream.The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository butthey will be also submitted to linux-firmware:https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmwareThis was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabeticalorder below.Signed-off-by: Anilkumar Kolli Signed-off-by: Bhagavathi Perumal S Signed-off-by: Ganesh Sesetti Signed-off-by: Govindaraj Saminathan Signed-off-by: John Crispin Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Karthikeyan Periyasamy Signed-off-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Maharaja Kennadyrajan Signed-off-by: Manikanta Pubbisetty Signed-off-by: Miles Hu Signed-off-by: Muna Sinada Signed-off-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan Signed-off-by: Sathishkumar Muruganandam Signed-off-by: Shashidhar Lakkavalli Signed-off-by: Sriram R Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Signed-off-by: Venkateswara Naralasetty List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Makefile

b2441318 - License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Wed, 01 Nov 2017 14:07:57 +0000

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseMany source files in the tree are missing licensing information, whichmakes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the defaultlicense of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally bindingshorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart andPhilippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset ofthe use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up caseswhere non-standard license headers were used, and references to licensehad to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied toa file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of theoutput of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDXtag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared thebase worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 filesassessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scannerresults in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was notimmediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).All documentation files were explicitly excluded.The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX licenseidentifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on thespreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to thesource files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmationby lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base fromFOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scannersdisagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. TheWindriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, sothey are related.Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheetsfor the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in thefiles he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checksin about 15000 files.In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to havecopy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect thecorrect identifier.Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manualinspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patchversion early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correctThis produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. Thisworksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for thedifferent types of files to be modified.These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script toparse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in theformat that the file expected. This script was further refined by Gregbased on the output to detect more types of files automatically and todistinguish between header and source .c files (which need differentcomment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files togenerate the patches.Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Makefile

bdcd8170 - Add ath6kl cleaned up driver

Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:22:30 +0000

Add ath6kl cleaned up driverLast May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which iscurrently in staging. The work has happened in a separateath6kl-cleanup tree:http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summaryAfter over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I wouldlike to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wirelesstrees and replacing the staging driver.The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26to zero :)There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which wedecided to omit for now:drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31: WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility leveldrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527: WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms; see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txtThe driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specificstructures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't haveany big endian hardware to test that right now.We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. Thecode is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:o HCI over SDIO supporto nl80211 testmodeo firmware loggingo suspend supportTestmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCIover SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs toshare code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to researchmore.Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations Idecided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own.
