skiboot-5.9-rc3
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
skiboot v5.9-rc3 was released on Wednesday October 18th 2017. It is the third
|
|
release candidate of skiboot 5.9, which will become the new stable release
|
|
of skiboot following the 5.8 release, first released August 31st 2017.
|
|
|
|
skiboot v5.9-rc3 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.4.8`
|
|
and :ref:`skiboot-5.1.21` (the currently maintained stable releases). We
|
|
do not currently expect to do any 5.8.x stable releases.
|
|
|
|
For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details.
|
|
|
|
The current plan is to cut the final 5.9 by October 20th, with skiboot 5.9
|
|
being for all POWER8 and POWER9 platforms in op-build v1.20 (Due October 18th).
|
|
This release will be targetted to early POWER9 systems.
|
|
|
|
Over :ref:`skiboot-5.9-rc2`, we have the following changes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Improvements to vpd device tree entries
|
|
|
|
Previously we would miss some properties
|
|
- Revert "npu2: Add vendor cap for IRQ testing"
|
|
|
|
This reverts commit 9817c9e29b6fe00daa3a0e4420e69a97c90eb373 which seems to
|
|
break setting the PCI dev flag and the link number in the PCIe vendor
|
|
specific config space. This leads to the device driver attempting to
|
|
re-init the DL when it shouldn't which can cause HMI's.
|
|
|
|
- hw/imc: Fix IMC Catalog load for DD2.X processors
|
|
- cpu: Add OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED
|
|
|
|
Add a new CPU reinit flag, "TM Suspend Disabled", which requests that
|
|
CPUs be configured so that TM (Transactional Memory) suspend mode is
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
Currently this always fails, because skiboot has no way to query the
|
|
state. A future hostboot change will add a mechanism for skiboot to
|
|
determine the status and return an appropriate error code.
