Expose through debugfs device telemetry data for QAT GEN4 devices. This allows to gather metrics about the performance and the utilization of a device. In particular, statistics on (1) the utilization of the PCIe channel, (2) address translation, when SVA is enabled and (3) the internal engines for crypto and data compression. If telemetry is supported by the firmware, the driver allocates a DMA region and a circular buffer. When telemetry is enabled, through the `control` attribute in debugfs, the driver sends to the firmware, via the admin interface, the `TL_START` command. This triggers the device to periodically gather telemetry data from hardware registers and write it into the DMA memory region. The device writes into the shared region every second. The driver, every 500ms, snapshots the DMA shared region into the circular buffer. This is then used to compute basic metric (min/max/average) on each counter, every time the `device_data` attribute is queried. Telemetry counters are exposed through debugfs in the folder /sys/kernel/debug/qat_<device>_<BDF>/telemetry. For details, refer to debugfs-driver-qat_telemetry in Documentation/ABI. This patch is based on earlier work done by Wojciech Ziemba.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
