Changes: Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks Miscellaneous fixes: * Improve diagnostic output with character task states. * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design. * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj(). * Documentation updates. * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states. * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields. * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space. Tasks RCU updates: * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU. * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design. * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output. * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier. * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN. * Documentation updates. * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline function. SRCU updates: * Add Rust helpers for SRCU. * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time. Torture-test updates: * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting. * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq). * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap(). * Improve diagnostic output with character task states. * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing, and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier. * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period. * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches. * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN. * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure.

+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 customer’s 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.

+Description: (RO) Read returns the device health status.
+
+ 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.

+Description: (RO) Read returns, for each Acceleration Engine (AE), the number
+ of errors and the type of the last error detected by the device
+ when performing verified compression.
+ Reported counters::
+
+ <N>: Number of Compress and Verify (CnV) errors and type
+ of the last CnV error detected by Acceleration
+ Engine N.

+Date: March 2024

+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
