To better support the IBSS/RSN mechanism, wpa_supplicant has to be able
to detect a possible peer reboot and in this case it should start a new
EAPOL handshake.
To perform such reboot detection wpa_supplicant has to perform an Open
Authentication by sending an Authentication frame and then replying to
it. IF an Authentication frame is received when the key have already
been exchanged, wpa_supplicant understands that the peer has rebooted
and can reset its state machine.
Whenever a new peer is added to the IBSS wpa_supplicant will start the
Open Authentication and only after having accomplished it will start the
key exchange. If the driver does not support Authentication frame
exchange initiated from user space, this step is skipped to maintain
previous behavior (just go through EAPOL-Key frame processing).
The Open Authentication was partly supported by the Linux kernel but now
wpa_supplicant can register for Authentication frames, handle it in
userspace and so avoid any possible race condition.

In IBSS RSN cfg80211/mac80211 now waits for userspace to authorize new
stations. This patch makes wpa_supplicant notify the driver when a
station can be considered authorized.

This is a useful function that simplifies some code and can eventually
be used somewhere else in future.

Antonio reported that RSN IBSS failed to work.
We traced it down to a GTK failure, and he then
bisected it to commit bdffdc5ddb:
"AP: Reorder WPA/Beacon initialization".
The reason this commit broke it is that the state
machine's GInit variable is never set to false as
wpa_init_keys() never gets called, and thus new
keys are generated every time the state machine
executes.
Fix this by calling wpa_init_keys() when the new
group has been initialised.

Change the old design of running a single long living RSN IBSS
instance to keep a separate instance for each IBSS connection.
This fixes number of issues in getting keys set properly for
new connections and is in general quite a bit more correct
design.
This avoids an issue when a received EAPOL-Key frame from a peer
is initiating IBSS RSN Authenticator and Supplicant for the peer
and the following new-STA-in-IBSS event from the driver is adding
yet another instance of Authenticator/Supplicant. The EAPOL-Key
RX case was already checking whether an instance had been started;
the driver new-STA event needs to do same.
The driver may get confused if we set the initial TX GTK before having
fully configured and connected to an IBSS, so better delay this
operation until the connection (join/start IBSS) has been completed.
This add preliminary code for setting the per-STA RX GTK for
RSN IBSS when nl80211 drivers. For some reason, this does not
seem to fully work, but at least driver_nl80211.c is now aware of
what kind of key is being set and the whatever is missing from
making this key configuration go through should be specific to
nl80211/cfg80211.
idx == 0 should be enough to make sure that the addr is set, but
verify that this is indeed the case to avoid any potential issues if
auth_set_key() gets called incorrectly.
This code can be shared by both hostapd and wpa_supplicant and this
is an initial step in getting the generic code moved to be under the
src directories. Couple of generic files still remain under the
hostapd directory due to direct dependencies to files there. Once the
dependencies have been removed, they will also be moved to the src/ap
directory to allow wpa_supplicant to be built without requiring anything
from the hostapd directory.
This commit adds a new build option, CONFIG_IBSS_RSN=y, that can be used
to enable RSN support for IBSS. This links in RSN Authenticator code
from hostapd and adds code for managing per-peer information for IBSS. A
new wpa_cli command or driver event can be used to request RSN
authentication with an IBSS peer. New RSN Authenticator and Supplicant
will be allocated for each peer.
The basic state machine setup code is included in this commit, but the
state machines are not properly started yet. In addition, some of the
callback functions are not yet complete.
