Damian Muszynski e2b67859ab crypto: qat - add heartbeat error simulator
Add a mechanism that allows to inject a heartbeat error for testing
purposes.
A new attribute `inject_error` is added to debugfs for each QAT device.
Upon a write on this attribute, the driver will inject an error on the
device which can then be detected by the heartbeat feature.
Errors are breaking the device functionality thus they require a
device reset in order to be recovered.

This functionality is not compiled by default, to enable it
CRYPTO_DEV_QAT_ERROR_INJECTION must be set.

Description: (RO) Read returns the number of requests sent to the FW and the number of responses
received from the FW for each Acceleration Engine
Reported firmware counters::
<N>: Number of requests sent from Acceleration Engine N to FW and responses
Acceleration Engine N received from FW

Description: (RW) Read returns value of the Heartbeat update period.
Write to the file changes this period value.
This period should reflect planned polling interval of device
health status. High frequency Heartbeat monitoring wastes CPU cycles
but minimizes the customers system downtime. Also, if there are
large service requests that take some time to complete, high frequency
Heartbeat monitoring could result in false reports of unresponsiveness
and in those cases, period needs to be increased.
This parameter is effective only for c3xxx, c62x, dh895xcc devices.
4xxx has this value internally fixed to 200ms.
Default value is set to 500. Minimal allowed value is 200.
All values are expressed in milliseconds.

Returns 0 when device is healthy or -1 when is unresponsive
or the query failed to send.
The driver does not monitor for Heartbeat. It is left for a user
to poll the status periodically.

Date: March 2024
KernelVersion: 6.8
Contact: qat-linux@intel.com
Description: (WO) Write to inject an error that simulates an heartbeat
failure. This is to be used for testing purposes.
After writing this file, the driver stops arbitration on a
random engine and disables the fetching of heartbeat counters.
If a workload is running on the device, a job submitted to the
accelerator might not get a response and a read of the
`heartbeat/status` attribute might report -1, i.e. device
unresponsive.
The error is unrecoverable thus the device must be restarted to
restore its functionality.
This attribute is available only when the kernel is built with
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_QAT_ERROR_INJECTION=y.
A write of 1 enables error injection.
The following example shows how to enable error injection::
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/qat_<device>_<BDF>
# echo 1 > heartbeat/inject_error
