| <p>skiboot-5.5.0-rc3 was released on Wednesday April 5th 2017. It is the third |
| release candidate of skiboot 5.5, which will become the new stable release |
| of skiboot following the 5.4 release, first released November 11th 2016.</p> |
| <p>skiboot-5.5.0-rc3 contains all bug fixes as of <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-5.4.3.html#skiboot-5-4-3"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-5.4.3</span></a> |
| and <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-5.1.19.html#skiboot-5-1-19"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-5.1.19</span></a> (the currently maintained stable releases).</p> |
| <p>For how the skiboot stable releases work, see <a class="reference internal" href="../process/stable-skiboot-rules.html#stable-rules"><span class="std std-ref">Skiboot stable tree rules and releases</span></a> for details.</p> |
| <p>The current plan is to cut the final 5.5.0 by April 8th, with skiboot 5.5.0 |
| being for all POWER8 and POWER9 platforms in op-build v1.16 (Due April 12th). |
| This is a short cycle as this release is mainly targetted towards POWER9 |
| bringup efforts.</p> |
| <p>Following skiboot-5.5.0, we will move to a regular six week release cycle, |
| similar to op-build, but slightly offset to allow for a short stabilisation |
| period. Expected release dates and contents are tracked using GitHub milestone |
| and issues: <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/milestones">https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/milestones</a></p> |
| <p>Over <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-5.5.0-rc2.html#skiboot-5-5-0-rc2"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-5.5.0-rc2</span></a>, we have the following changes:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p>xive: Fix setting of remote NVT VSD</p> |
| <p>This fixes a checkstop when using my XIVE exploitation mode on some multi-chip machines.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>core/init: Use ‘_’ as separator in names of “exports” properties</p> |
| <p>The names of the properties under /ibm,opal/firmware/exports are used |
| directly by Linux to create files in sysfs. To remain consistent with |
| the existing naming of OPAL sysfs files, use ‘_’ as the separator.</p> |
| <dl> |
| <dt>In particular for the symbol map which is already exported separately,</dt><dd><p>it’s cleaner for the two files to have the same name, eg:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">sys</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">firmware</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">opal</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">exports</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">symbol_map</span> |
| <span class="o">/</span><span class="n">sys</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">firmware</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">opal</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">symbol_map</span> |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>hdata: fix reservation size</p> |
| <p>The hostboot reserved ranges are [start, end] pairs rather than |
| [start, end) so we need to stick a +1 in there to calculate the |
| size properly.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>hdat: Add model-name property for OpenPower system</p></li> |
| <li><p>hdat: Read description from ibm, vpd binary blob</p></li> |
| <li><p>hdat: Populate model property with ‘Unknown’ in error path</p></li> |
| </ul> |
