| 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. |
