af1dff8c9f wpa_cli: Accept more arguments for set_network
Some network parameters, e.g., auth_alg and eap use a space separated
list of values without quotation marks. To allow these to be entered
from the interactive mode, change set_network command to allow more than
three arguments.

c772d054c2 hostapd: Fix a regression in TKIP countermeasures processing
Commit 296a34f0c1 changed hostapd to
remove the internal STA entry at the beginning of TKIP countermeasures.
However, this did not take into account the case where this is triggered
by an EAPOL-Key error report from a station. In such a case, WPA
authenticator state machine may continue processing after having
processed the error report. This could result in use of freed memory.
Fix this by stopping WPA processing if the STA entry got removed.

6366a17ce3 WPS: Add a workaround for PBC session overlap detection
Some deployed station implementations implement WPS incorrectly and
end up causing PBC session overlap issues by indicating active PBC
mode in a scan after the WPS provisioning step. Work around this by
ignoring active PBC indication in a Probe Request from a station that
completed PBC provisioning during the last five seconds.

a8c5b43ad3 nl80211: Roam correctly through cfg80211 without SME
Change the nl80211 driver in wpa_supplicant to correctly handle
connecting to a new AP through cfg80211 without SME capability. As
before, the driver will disconnect from the previously associated AP,
but now we attempt to immediately connect to our intended AP. This
prevents us from blacklisting the AP we were trying to connect to
because of a semantic mismatch between cfg80211 and wpa_supplicant. The
disconnect/connect patch generates a local disconnect nl80211 event
which we discard because we're already correctly tracking the pending
association request.

In detail:

cfg80211 does not support connecting to a new BSS while already
connected to another BSS, if the underlying driver doesn't support
separate authenticate and associate commands. wpa_supplicant is written
to expect that this is a supported operation, except for a little error
handling that disconnects from the current BSS when roaming fails and
relies on autoconnect logic to reconnect later. However, this failure to
connect is incorrectly attributed to the new AP we attempted to
associate with, rather than a local condition in cfg80211.

The combined effect of these two conditions is that full-mac drivers
accessible through cfg80211 but without SME capability take a long time
to roam across BSS's because wpa_supplicant will:
1) Fail to associate for local reasons
2) Disconnect and return that the association request failed
3) Blacklist the association target (incorrectly)
4) Do a scan
5) Pick a less desirable AP to associate with

30c371e8a5 P2P: Reduce redundant PSK generation for GO
The PSK generation done by pbkdf2_sha1() is one of the longest CPU time
users according to our profiling from boot to GO started.

So I have reduced some steps.

I could boot a GO by this command sequence.
-------------
add_net
set_network 0 ssid '"DIRECT-XX"'
set_network 0 psk
'"123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123"'
set_network 0 proto RSN

set_network 0 pairwise CCMP
set_network 0 auth_alg OPEN
set_network 0 mode 3
set_network 0 disabled 2
p2p_group_add persistent=0 freq=2412
-------------

By this sequence, pbkdf2_sha1() was called three times and the function
calculates the same value each time. Reduce number of calls to
pbkdf2_sha1() from 3 to 1 by caching the previous result.

45ac5793fc new_dbus_handlers: Clear errno
There are a few instances where dbus handlers test the value
of errno to test whether strtoul completes successfully.
Since strtoul does not clear errno, and there's no strong
reason to suspect that errno is already clear, it is safer
to clear it right before calling strtoul.  Also, any failure
in strtoul (setting errno non-zero) should be considered a
failure.

While testing using dbus-send, I found that a malformed
network path can cause a crash due to net_id being left
NULL.  We should test for this before calling strtoul
on it.

Tested with:

dbus-send --system --dest=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 --print-reply \

42d235477f Use wpa_drv_{disassociate,deauthenticate} while waiting for connection
wpa_supplicant_{disassociate,deauthenticate}() need to inform the driver
about decision to disconnect even if this happens during the time when
the driver is still trying to complete association. During that time,
wpa_s->bssid is not set, so the code in these functions needs to figure
out the correct BSSID based on that field or wpa_s->pending_bssid. In
addition, it is possible that the BSSID is not even known at
wpa_supplicant at this point in time when using drivers that perform BSS
selection internally. In those cases, the disconnect command needs to be
sent to the driver without the BSSID.

This fixes issues where the driver (or cfg80211 in particular) may be
left in mismatching state with wpa_supplicant when disconnection (e.g.,
due to a ctrl_iface command) happens between connection request and
association event.

10737aba22 Handle assoc reject events without wpa_supplicant SME
If the driver indicates the association (or authentication) was
rejected, wpa_supplicant should handle this connection failure similarly
to other cases. Previously, this was only handled with drivers that use
wpa_supplicant SME.

In case of cfg80211-based drivers, a rejected association was actually
already handled since cfg80211 generates a deauthentication event after
indicating connection failure. However, rejected authentication resulted
in wpa_supplicant waiting for authentication timeout to expire which is
unnecessary long wait.

Fix this by calling wpas_connection_failed() to use the common mechanism
to reschedule a new connection attempt with the previously attempted
BSSID blacklisted.

Commit 0d30cc240f forced
wpa_s->current_ssid to be cleared in wpa_supplicant_mark_disassoc()
which gets called from wpa_supplicant_event_disassoc(). This breaks the
P2P group idle mechanism for the case where p2p_group_idle is not set

Fix this by making wpas_p2p_is_client() default to client case if
wpa_s->current_ssid is NULL. This is much more likely case since the P2P
GO mode operation would not really clear the pointer without explicit
request to disconnect.

86cf382b80 Fix EAPOL supplicant port authorization with PMKSA caching
The previous eapol_sm_notify_cached() implementation forced the port
to be authorized when receiving EAPOL-Key msg 1/4 that included a
matching PMKID in cases when PMKSA caching is used. This is too early
since the port should really be authorized only after the PTK has been
configured which is the case when PMKSA caching is not used.

Fix this by using the EAPOL supplicant PAE state machine to go through
the AUTHENTICATING and AUTHENTICATED states instead of forcing a jump
to AUTHENTICATED without performing full state machine steps. This can
be achieved simply by marking eapSuccess TRUE at least with the current
version of EAP and EAPOL state machines (the earlier commits in this
function seemed to indicate that this may have not been that easy in
the older versions due to the hacks needed here).

This addresses an issue with nl80211-based driver interface when the
driver depends on the STA Authorized flag being used to prevent
unprotected frames from being accepted (both TX and RX) prior to PTK
configuration.

f826635c2d Fix EAPOL processing when STA switches between multi-BSSes
There was an issue with EAPOL frame exchanges in a multi-BSS
configuration when a station switches between the BSSes controlled by
the same hostapd process. When processing the EAPOL packet, the array of
virtual APs (iface->bss) is searched looking for the station that sent
the packet in order to identify which signal context should be used
during processing. The first match of the station in its list gets used
in the ieee802_1x_receive() function. However, even after a station has
disassociated, it remains in the list of stations pending an inactivity
timeout. This leads to the wrong hapd context (one where the station had
already disassociated) being used in some cases (if the current/active
bss entry appears in the list after one where the station has just
disassociated from) for EAPOL processing.

Fix this by checking the WLAN_STA_ASSOC flag before assuming the right
hapd context was found for the given station.

13ece96f70 P2P: Improve robustness against lost ctrl::ack frames
P2P includes two use cases where one of the devices is going to start a
group and likely change channels immediately after processing a frame.
This operation may be fast enough to make the device leave the current
channel before the peer has completed layer 2 retransmission of the
frame in case the ctrl::ack frame was lost. This can result in the peer
not getting TX status success notification.

For GO Negotiation Confirm frame, p2p_go_neg_conf_cb() has a workaround
that ignores the TX status failure and will continue with the group
formation with the assumption that the peer actually received the frame
even though we did not receive ctrl::ack. For Invitation Response frame
to re-invoke a persistent group, no such workaround is used in
p2p_invitation_resp_cb(). Consequently, TX status failure due to lost
ctrl::ack frame results in one of the peers not starting the group.

Increase the likelihood of layer 2 retransmission getting acknowledged
and ctrl::ack being received by waiting a short duration after having
processed the GO Negotiation Confirm and Invitation Response frames for
the re-invocation case. For the former, use 20 ms wait since this case
has been worked around in deployed devices. For the latter, use 50 ms
wait to get even higher likelihood of getting ctrl::ack through since
deployed devices (and the current wpa_supplicant implementation) do not
have a workaround to ignore TX status failure.

20 ms is long enough to include at least couple of retries and that
should increase likelihood of getting ctrl::ack through quite a bit. The
longer 50 ms wait is likely to include full set of layer 2 retries.
