Johannes Berg 51cd53ad12 iwlwifi: reduce debug ifdefs using the optimiser
Instead of using #ifdef CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG, remove the
iwlwifi_mod_params.debug_level variable completely and
make iwl_have_debug_level() always return false in the
non-debug case. This way, the optimiser will elide all
code for it automatically without having to add #ifdefs.

Johannes Berg 26a7ca9a71 iwlwifi: refactor EEPROM reading/parsing
The EEPROM reading/parsing code is all mixed in
the driver today, and the EEPROM is parsed only
when we access data from it. This is problematic
because the NVM needs to be parsed and that is
independent of reading it. Also, the NVM format
for new devices will be different and probably
require a new parser.

Therefore refactor the reading and parsing and
create two independent components. Reading the
EEPROM requires direct hardware accesses and
therefore access to the transport, but parsing
is independent and can be done on an NVM blob.

Todd Previte b36b110c57 iwlwifi: Suppress noisy syslog messages when RF_KILL switch engaged
When a station is associated with an AP and the RF_KILL switch is engaged,
numerous error messages were sent to the system log. The error messages
were the result of the failure(s) of the various submodules to perform
their tasks after the radios were disabled.

To resolve this situation, the messages were modified to use a new macro,
IWL_DEBUG_QUIET_RFKILL. This macro allows for the RF_KILL error messages
to be sent to the log provided that IWL_DEBUG is true and IWL_DL_RADIO
is '1'. For all other cases, the error messages resulting from an RFKILL
event will not be sent to the system log. Messages logged because of an
RFKILL will be tagged with the prefix '(RFKILL)' to clarify the cause of
the error.

Emmanuel Grumbach d593411084 iwlagn: simplify the bus architecture
Call iwl_probe with a ready iwl_bus struct. This means that the bus layer
assigns the irq, dev and iwl_bus_ops pointers to iwl_bus before giving it to
iwl_probe.

The device specific struct is allocated together with the common iwl_bus struct
by the bus specific layer. The pointer to the aggregate struct is passed to the
upper layer that holds a pointer to iwl_bus instead of an embedded iw_bus.
The private data given to the PCI subsystem is now iwl_bus and not iwl_priv.

Provide bus_* inliners on the way in order  to simplify the syntax.

Rename iwl-pci.h -> iwl-bus.h since it is bus agnostic and represent the
external of the bus layer.

with debug:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 670300	  13136	    420	 683856	  a6f50	iwlagn.ko (before)
 388347	  13136	    408	 401891	  621e3	iwlagn.ko (after)

without debug:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 528575	  13072	    420	 542067	  84573	iwlagn.ko (before)
 294192	  13072	    408	 307672	  4b1d8	iwlagn.ko (after)

This also removes all the IO debug functionality since
it can easily be replaced by tracing, and makes the
code unnecessarily complex.

I haven't done any CPU utilisation measurements, but
given that the hotpaths don't use much IO it is not
likely to have a negative impact; in fact, the size
reduction will reduce cache pressure which possibly
improves performance.

Finally, an unused function or two were removed.

Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen 3e4fb5faef iwlwifi: Tune radio to prevent unexpected behavior
We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune.  There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point.  By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.

To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

Wey-Yi Guy afbdd69af0 iwlwifi: add function to reset/tune radio if needed
Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio.

During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is
no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when
switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.

The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.

Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

allow user to adjust the missed beacon threshold from debugfs in case
more sensitivity calibration required for better performance in noisy
environment

The default value (=5) should be good enough for the normal condition,
but for very noisy environment, more sensitivity calibration could help
improve the throughput, so by setting the missed beacon threshold to
lower number, user might experience better performance result.

Wey-Yi Guy 1b3eb8236a iwlwifi: display flowhandler register when sw error or on-demand
Flowhandler handle the communication between driver and uCode, when any
uCode error happen, we also like to know what is the status of the
flowhandler; it can help to debug flowhandler related problem.

Also adding debugfs file to dump current value of flowhandler registers.

Wey-Yi Guy a9e1cb6a78 iwlwifi: add continuous uCode event log capability
In order to help uCode debugging, adding the capability to provide
continuous uCode event logging function.

uCode events is located in round-robin event queue and filled by uCode,
by enable continuous event logging, driver check the write pointer
and log the newly added events in iwl_bg_ucode_trace() timer function.

There is still possibility of missing events if event queue being
wrapped before next event dump; but with this capability, we can have
much better understanding of the uCode behavior during runtime; it can
help to debug the uCode related issues.

Methods to enable/disable the continuous event log:
step 1: enable ucode trace timer
     "echo 1 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
step 2: start ftrace
     sudo ./trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi_ucode:* sleep 1d
step 3: stop ftrace
     sudo ./trace-cmd report trace.dat
step 4: disable ucode trace timer
     "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"

use "ucode_tracing" debugfs file to display number of event
queue wrapped when driver attempt the continuous event logging. If event
queue being wrapped more than once when driver has opportunity to log
the event; it indicated there are events missing in the event log trace.

This continuous event log function only available for 4965 and newer
NICs.

Wey-Yi Guy 696bdee3ba iwlwifi: dump "Control and Status Register" when detect uCode HW/SW error
When uCode HW/SW error detected, dumping important CSR (Control and Status
Registers) values.
Also add "csr" debugfs file to dump the current values of CSR defined in
CSR table to syslog.
