bf52c968e8 wireguard: bump to 0.0.20181115
* Zinc no longer ships generated assembly code. Rather, we now
  bundle in the original perlasm generator for it. The primary purpose
  of this snapshot is to get testing of this.
* Clarify the peer removal logic and make lifetimes more precise.
* Use READ_ONCE for is_valid and is_dead.
* No need to use atomic when the recounter is mutex protected.
* Fix up macros and annotations in allowedips.
* Increment drop counter when staged packets are dropped.
* Use static constants instead of enums for 64-bit values in selftest.
* Mark large constants as ULL in poly1305-donna64.
* Fix sparse warnings in allowedips debugging code.
* Do not use wg_peer_get_maybe_zero in timer callbacks, since we now can
  carefully control the lifetime of these functions and ensure they never
  execute after dropping the last reference.
* Cleanup hashing in ratelimiter.
* Do not guard timer removals, since del_timer is always okay.
* We now check for PM_AUTOSLEEP, which makes the clear*on-suspend decision a
  bit more general.
* Set csum_level to ~0, since the poly1305 authenticator certainly means
  that no data was modified in transit.
* Use CHECKSUM_PARTIAL check for skb_checksum_help instead of
  skb_checksum_setup check.
* wg.8: specify that wg(8) shows runtime info too
* wg.8: AllowedIPs isn't actually required
* keygen-html: add missing glue macro
* wg-quick: android: do not choke on empty allowed-ips

c6a1bcac16 kernel: fix ubifs loosing O_TMPFILE data after power cut
There was a bug in ubifs related to the O_TMPFILE. When reapplying
changes after power cut data could be lost. This problem was exposed by
overlayfs and the upstream commit 3a1e819b4e80 ("ovl: store file handle
of lower inode on copy up").

This fixes a regression introduced when switching from 4.9 to 4.14.

1b4b942bce Revert "iptables: fix dependency for libip6tc on IPV6"
This patch reverts commit 2dc1f54b12 as it
breaks the build for me on x86-64 if I've IPV6 support disabled. Same config
builds fine on `openwrt-18.06` branch at 55d078b2.

  $ grep IPV6 .config

  # CONFIG_KERNEL_IPV6 is not set
  # CONFIG_IPV6 is not set

Build errors out on:

  Package libiptc is missing dependencies for the following libraries:
  libip6tc.so.0

Looking at iptables-1.6.2/libiptc/Makefile.am:

  libiptc_la_LIBADD   = libip4tc.la libip6tc.la

and to iptables-1.6.2/libiptc/libiptc.pc.in:

  Requires:	libip4tc libip6tc

It seems that libiptc needs v4/v6 libs, so v6 isn't optional.

c7c4ae35d6 kernel: deprecate support for the generic "linux,part-probe" DT binding
It has been rejected upstream and instead a nice/more generic solution
has been implemented. It's possible now to describe partitions format
using "compatible" DT string.

No OpenWrt target uses "linux,part-probe" anymore, leave it only in case
some forks need it. It will be dropped with support for new kernels.

b4e17a7440 ramips: fix netgear r6120 factory image generation
as indicated in commit c5bf408ed6 "(ramips: fix image generation for mt76x8")
more rework was needed to fix the other issues.

Building on another machine, but using the same arch, showed
the application failing again for different reasons.

Fix this by completely rewriting the application, fixing following found issues:

- buffer overflows, resulting in stack corruption
- flaws in memory requirement calculations (too small, too large)
- memory leaks
- missing bounds checking on string handling
- non-reproducable images, by using unitilized memory in checksum calculation
- missing error handling, resulting in succes on specific image errors
- endianness errors when building on BE machines
- various minor build warnings
- documentation did not match the code actions (header item locations)
- allowing input to be decimal, hex or octal now

Debugging using valgrind shows stack corruption due to a buffer overflow.
The author of the generator assumes the filename ends with "root",
while it should be "rootfs".

Fix this by accounting for the 2 missing characters which solves the build issues.

More work is required to cleanup this source, which will be done later on.

74738c4b80 imx6: fix DMA transaction errors
Following errors were seen in the past on imx6 when using serial:

[ 22.617622] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.623228] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.628826] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.648951] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.654558] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.660156] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.

Which is the reason why DMA for the serial ports
got disabled in commits:

efb362cd93 ("imx6: disable dma on uart")
3b4241071d ("imx6: disable UART dma")

As indicated on mailinglist discussion, the cause seems to be
the usage of very old SDMA firmware which is present in the soc:

[    0.624302] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: Direct firmware load for imx/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin failed with error -2
[    0.624318] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: Falling back to user helper
[   64.531607] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: external firmware not found, using ROM firmware

This patch adds the new firmware binary. (2196 bytes)

It is required to embed the binary into the kernel image, as it
gets loaded very early in the boot process where the rootfs is not
available yet:

[    0.622966] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: loaded firmware 3.3

Extended testing shows that the DMA errors are not seen anymore
when using this newer firmware version.

5ac34818f9 ath9k: fix dynack in IBSS mode
Currently, dynack was only tested upstream using AP/STA mode.
Testing it on IBSS, showed that late-ack detection was broken.

This is caused due to dynack using Association Request/Response
frames for late-ack detection, which IBSS does not use.
Also allowing Authentication frames here solves this.

A second issue also got fixed, which was also seen AP/STA mode:

When a station was added, the estimated value would be exponentially averaged
using 0 as a starting point.

This means that on larger distances, the ack timeout was still not high
enough before synchronizing would run out of late-ack's for estimation.

Fix this by using the initial estimated value as a baseline
and only start averaging in the following estimation rounds.

Test setup:
- 2x identical devices:  RB912UAG-5HPnD + 19dB sector
- IBSS
- 2x2 802.11an (ar9340), HT20, long GI
- RSSI's  -70 / -71
- Real distance: 23910 meter

Results (60s iperf runs):

Fixed coverage class 54 (up to 24300m):
* 21.5 Mbits/sec

Dynack:
* 28.9 Mbits/sec

860de2e1aa ar71xx: disable some tiny targets with kernel 4.14
The bump to kernel 4.14 caused a massive increase in kernel size.

For most targets, switching them to dynamic partitioning allowed
to cope with this.

On some targets, the kernel partition is located behind the rootfs,
which disallows switching to dynamic partitioning as the boot location
would be altered, requiring a u-boot change.

Also within the tiny section, which disables kernel symbols etc
to decrease the image size,  the partition size is still too small.

Disable these targets for now, fixing image generation:

- Buffalo BHR-4GRV2
- Zbtlink ZBT-WE1526
