skiboot-5.4.0-rc4

skiboot-5.4.0-rc4 was released on Tuesday November 8th 2016. It is the
|
||
|
|
fourth (and hopefully final) 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-rc4 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this release candidate, I'm hoping that it's the last one, and that within
|
||
|
|
the week we're able to tag a final 5.4.0 release. There is one bit of code I'm
|
||
|
|
hoping to merge in before the final 5.4.0, and that's the p8dtu platform
|
||
|
|
definition. 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-rc3`, we have a few changes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Add BMC platform to enable correct OEM IPMI commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An out of tree platform (p8dtu) uses a different IPMI OEM command
|
||
|
|
for IPMI_PARTIAL_ADD_ESEL. This exposed some assumptions about the BMC
|
||
|
|
implementation in our core code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, with platform.bmc, each platform can dictate (or detect) the BMC
|
||
|
|
that is present. We allow it to be set at runtime rather than purely
|
||
|
|
statically in struct platform as it's possible to have differing BMC
|
||
|
|
implementations on the one machine (e.g. AMI BMC or OpenBMC).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- hw/ipmi-sensor: Fix setting of firmware progress sensor properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On FSP systems, OPAL was incorrectly setting firmware status
|
||
|
|
on a sensor id "00" which doesn't exist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- pflash: remove stray d in from info message
|
||
|
|
- libflash/pflash: support whole chip erase on mtd access
|
||
|
|
- boot_test: fix typo in console message
|
||
|
|
- core/pci: Fix criteria in pci_cfg_reg_filter(), i.e. NVLink didn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Remove KERNEL_COMMAND_LINE mention from config.h
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We removed the functionality but not the define.
