skiboot-5.5.0-rc3 | ||
================= | ||
|
||
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. | ||
|
||
skiboot-5.5.0-rc3 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.4.3` | ||
and :ref:`skiboot-5.1.19` (the currently maintained stable releases). | ||
|
||
For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details. | ||
|
||
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. | ||
|
||
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: https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/milestones | ||
|
||
Over :ref:`skiboot-5.5.0-rc2`, we have the following changes: | ||
|
||
- xive: Fix setting of remote NVT VSD | ||
|
||
This fixes a checkstop when using my XIVE exploitation mode on some multi-chip machines. | ||
|
||
- core/init: Use '_' as separator in names of "exports" properties | ||
|
||
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. | ||
|
||
In particular for the symbol map which is already exported separately, | ||
it's cleaner for the two files to have the same name, eg: :: | ||
|
||
/sys/firmware/opal/exports/symbol_map | ||
/sys/firmware/opal/symbol_map | ||
|
||
- hdata: fix reservation size | ||
|
||
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. | ||
|
||
- hdat: Add model-name property for OpenPower system | ||
- hdat: Read description from ibm, vpd binary blob | ||
- hdat: Populate model property with 'Unknown' in error path |
