skiboot-5.1.3

skiboot-5.1.3 was released on September 15th, 2015.

skiboot-5.1.3 is the 4th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.2 (which was released September 9th, 2015).

Skiboot 5.1.3 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.2 and is a minor bugfix release.

Changes

Over skiboot-5.1.2, we have the following changes:

• slot names for firestone platform

• fix display of LPC errors

• SBE based timer support

  • on supported platforms limits reliance on Linux heartbeat

• fix use-after-free in fsp/ipmi

• fix hang on TOD/TB errors (time-of-day/timebase) on OpenPower systems

  • On getting a Hypervizor Maintenance Interrupt to get the timebase back into a running state, we would call prlog which would use the LPC UART console driver on OpenPower systems, which depends on a working timebase, leading to a hang. We now don’t depend on a working timebase in this recovery codepath.

• enable prd for garrison platform

• PCI: Clear error bits after changing MPS Chaning MPS on PCI upstream bridge might cause error bits set on downstream endpoints when system boots into Linux as below case shows:

  host# lspci -vvs 0001:06:00.0
  0001:06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation \
               NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
  DevSta:      CorrErr+ UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq+ AuxPwr- TransPend-
  CESta:       RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr+
  

  This clears those error bits in AER and PCIe capability after MPS is changed. With the patch applied, no more error bits are seen.
