Add kernel and userspace code to dump the firmware state of supported ConnectX-4/5 devices in mlx5core. The dump is obtained by reading a predefined register map from the non-destructive crspace, accessible by the vendor-specific PCIe capability (VSC). The dump is stored in preallocated kernel memory and managed by the mlx5tool(8), which communicates with the driver using a character device node. The utility allows to store the dump in format <address> <value> into a file, to reset the dump content, and to manually initiate the dump. A call to mlx5_fwdump() should be added at the places where a dump must be fetched automatically. The most likely place is right before a firmware reset request.

in the aspects not covered by the generic
.Xr ifconfig 8
command, mostly related to the PCIe attachment and internal card working.
The utility executes commands on specific adapter, which is addressed using
.Em device:bus:slot:function
conventions of the PCIe buses.
You can match adapters ethernet name and addresses using the
.X pciconf 8
utility.
The address is passed as an argument of the
.Fl d
option, which must be specified for each invocation.
.Pp
When the driver detects the malfunctioning of the hardware, or by user
request, it is possible to create
.Em firmware dump ,
which contains debugging information about internal device state, for
analysis of the failure by the Mellanox support team.
