| 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. |
