| skiboot-6.0.14 |
| ============== |
| |
| skiboot 6.0.14 was released on Tuesday November 27th, 2018. It replaces |
| :ref:`skiboot-6.0.13` as the current stable release in the 6.0.x series. |
| |
| It is recommended that 6.0.14 be used instead of any previous 6.0.x version |
| due to the bug fixes it contains. |
| |
| Bug fixes included in this release are: |
| |
| - libflash: Don't merge ECC-protected ranges |
| |
| Libflash currently merges contiguous ECC-protected ranges, but doesn't |
| check that the ECC bytes at the end of the first and start of the second |
| range actually match sanely. More importantly, if blocklevel_read() is |
| called with a position at the start of a partition that is contained |
| somewhere within a region that has been merged it will update the |
| position assuming ECC wasn't being accounted for. This results in the |
| position being somewhere well after the actual start of the partition |
| which is incorrect. |
| |
| For now, remove the code merging ranges. This means more ranges must be |
| held and checked however it prevents incorrectly reading ECC-correct |
| regions like below: :: |
| |
| [ 174.334119453,7] FLASH: CAPP partition has ECC |
| [ 174.437349574,3] ECC: uncorrectable error: ffffffffffffffff ff |
| [ 174.437426306,3] FLASH: failed to read the first 0x1000 from CAPP partition, rc 14 |
| [ 174.439919343,3] CAPP: Error loading ucode lid. index=201d1 |
| |
| - ipmi: Reduce ipmi_queue_msg_sync() polling loop time to 10ms. |
| |
| On a plain boot with hiomap, this reduces the time spent in OPAL |
| by ~170ms on p9dsu. This is due to hiomap (currently) using |
| synchronous IPMI messages. |
| |
| It will also *significantly* reduce latency on runtime flash |
| operations with hiomap, as we'll spend typically 10-20ms in OPAL |
| rather than 100-200ms. It's not an ideal solution to that, but |
| it's a quick and obvious win for jitter. |
| |
| - opal-prd: Fix opal-prd crash |
| |
| Crash log without this patch: :: |
| |
| opal-prd[2864]: unhandled signal 11 at 0000000000029320 nip 00000 00102012830 lr 0000000102016890 code 1 |
