habanalabs/gaudi: add debugfs to DMA from the device
When trying to debug program, the user often needs to dump large parts of the device's DRAM, which can reach to tens of GBs. Because reading from the device's internal memory through the PCI BAR is extremely slow, the debug can take hours. Instead, we can provide the user to copy data through one of the DMA engines. This will make the operation much faster. Currently, only GAUDI is supported. In GAUDI, we need to find a PCI DMA engine that is IDLE and set the DMA as secured to be able to bypass our MMU as we currently don't map the temporary buffer to the MMU. Example bash one-line to dump entire HBM to file (~2 minutes): for (( i=0x0; i < 0x800000000; i+=0x8000000 )); do \ printf '0x%x\n' $i | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/habanalabs/hl0/addr ; \ echo 0x8000000 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/habanalabs/hl0/dma_size ; \ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/habanalabs/hl0/data_dma >> hbm.txt ; done Signed-off-by: Oded Gabbay <ogabbay@kernel.org>

+Description: Allows the root user to read from the device's internal
+ memory (DRAM/SRAM) through a DMA engine.
+ This property is a binary blob that contains the result of the
+ DMA transfer.
+ This custom interface is needed (instead of using the generic
+ Linux user-space PCI mapping) because the amount of internal
+ memory is huge (>32GB) and reading it via the PCI bar will take
+ a very long time.
+ This interface doesn't support concurrency in the same device.
+ In GAUDI and GOYA, this action can cause undefined behavior
+ in case the it is done while the device is executing user
+ workloads.
+ Only supported on GAUDI at this stage.
