7 These debugfs interfaces are built by the nx-crypto driver, built in
8arch/powerpc/crypto/nx.

10Error Detection
11===============
12
13errors:
14- A u32 providing a total count of errors since the driver was loaded. The
15only errors counted here are those returned from the hcall, H_COP_OP.
16
17last_error:
18- The most recent non-zero return code from the H_COP_OP hcall. -EBUSY is not
19recorded here (the hcall will retry until -EBUSY goes away).
20
21last_error_pid:
22- The process ID of the process who received the most recent error from the
23hcall.
24
25Device Use
26==========
27
28aes_bytes:
29- The total number of bytes encrypted using AES in any of the driver's
30supported modes.
31
32aes_ops:
33- The total number of AES operations submitted to the hardware.
34
35sha256_bytes:
36- The total number of bytes hashed by the hardware using SHA-256.
37
38sha256_ops:
39- The total number of SHA-256 operations submitted to the hardware.
40
41sha512_bytes:
42- The total number of bytes hashed by the hardware using SHA-512.
43
44sha512_ops:
45- The total number of SHA-512 operations submitted to the hardware.
