skiboot-5.4.0-rc3 was released on Wednesday November 2nd 2016. It is the
|
||
|
|
third release candidate of skiboot 5.4, which will become the new stable
|
||
|
|
release of skiboot following the 5.3 release, first released August 2nd 2016.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
skiboot-5.4.0-rc3 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.3.7`
|
||
|
|
and :ref:`skiboot-5.1.18` (the currently maintained stable releases).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since this is a release candidate, it should *NOT* be put into production.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current plan is to release a new release candidate every week until we
|
||
|
|
feel good about it. The aim is for skiboot-5.4.x to be in op-build v1.13, which
|
||
|
|
is due by November 23rd 2016.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Over :ref:`skiboot-5.4.0-rc2`, we have a few changes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- pflash: Fail when file is larger than partition
|
||
|
|
You can still shoot yourself in the foot by passing --force.
|
||
|
|
- core/flash: Don't do anything clever for OPAL_FLASH_{READ, WRITE, ERASE}
|
||
|
|
This fixes a bug where opal-prd and opal-gard could fail.
|
||
|
|
Fixes: `<https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/issues/44>`_
|
||
|
|
- boot-tests: force BMC to boot from non-golden side
|
||
|
|
- fast-reset: Send special reset sequence to operational CPUs only.
|
||
|
|
Fixes fast-reset for cases where there are garded CPUs
|
||
|
|
- Secure/Trusted boot: be much clearer about what is being measured where.
|
||
|
|
- Secure/Trusted boot: be more resilient to disabled TPM(s).
|
||
|
|
- Secure/Trusted boot: The ``force-secure-mode`` NVRAM setting introduced
|
||
|
|
temporarily in :ref:`skiboot-5.4.0-rc2` has changed behaviour. Now, by
|
||
|
|
default, the ``secure-mode`` flag in the device tree is obeyed. As always,
|
||
|
|
any skiboot NVRAM options are in no way ABI, API or supported and may cause
|
||
|
|
unfinished verbose analogies to appear in release notes relating to the
|
||
|
|
dangers of using developer only options.
|
||
|
|
- gard: Fix compiler warning on modern GCC targetting ARM 32-bit
|
||
|
|
- opal-prd: systemd scripts improvements, only run on supported systems
