skiboot-5.1.13
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
skiboot-5.1.13 was released on Wed January 27th, 2016.
|
|
|
|
skiboot-5.1.13 is the 14th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.12
|
|
(which was released December 4th, 2015). This release contains bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- core/device.c: Sort nodes with name@unit names by unit
|
|
|
|
- This gives predictable device tree ordering to the payload
|
|
(usually petitboot)
|
|
- This means that utilities such as "lspci" will always return the same
|
|
ordering.
|
|
|
|
- Add OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH to the OPAL API
|
|
uart consoles only flush output when polled. The Linux kernel calls
|
|
these pollers frequently, except when in a panic state. As such, panic
|
|
messages are not fully printed unless the system is configured to reboot
|
|
after panic.
|
|
|
|
This patch adds a new call to the OPAL API to flush the buffer. If the
|
|
system has a uart console (i.e. BMC machines), it will incrementally
|
|
flush the buffer, returning if there is more to be flushed or not. If
|
|
the system has a different console, the function will have no effect.
|
|
This will allow the Linux kernel to ensure that panic message have been
|
|
fully printed out.
|
|
|
|
CAPI
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
- hmi: Identify the phb upon CAPI malfunction alert
|
|
Previously, any error on a CAPI adapter would assume PHB0.
|
|
This could cause issues on Firestone machines.
|
|
|
|
gard utility
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- Fix displaying 'cleared' gard records
|
|
When a garded component is replaced hostboot detects this and updates the
|
|
gard partition.
|
|
|
|
Previously, there was ambiguity on if the gard record ID or the whole gard
|
|
record needed to be erased. This fix makes gard and hostboot agree.
|
|
|
|
firestone platform
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- fix spacing in slot name
|
|
The other SlotN names have no space.
