-skiboot-5.1-beta1
------------------
-
-Skiboot 5.1-beta1 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.0 stable branch up to
-skiboot-5.0.5.
-
-Over skiboot-5.0, the following features have been added:
-- Centaur i2c support
-- Add Naples chip (CPU, PHB, LPC serial interrupts) support
-- Added qemu platform
-- improvements to FSI error handling
-- improvements in chip TOD failover (some only on FSP systems)
-- Set Relative Priority Register (RPR) to recommended value
-  - this affects thread priority in SMT modes
-- greatly reduce memory consumption by CPU stacks for non-present CPUs
-  - Previously we would reserve enough memory for max PIR for each CPU
-    type.
-  - This fix frees up 77MB of RAM on a typical P8 system.
-- increased OPAL API documentation
-- Asynchronous preloading of resources from FSP/flash
-  - improves boot time on some systems
-- Basic Garrison platform support
-- Add Mambo platform (P8 Functional Simulator, systemsim)
-  - includes fake NVRAM, RTC
-- Support building with GCOV, increasing memory for skiboot binary to 2MB
-  - includes boot code coverage testing
-- Increased skiboot HEAP size.
-  - We are not aware of any system where you would run out, but on large
-    systems it was getting closer than we liked.
-- add boot_tests.sh for helping automate boot testing on FSP and BMC machines
-- Versioning of pflash and gard utilities to help Linux (or other OS)
-  distributions with packaging.
-- OCC throttle status messages to host
-- CAPP timebase sync ("ibm,capp-timebase-sync" in DT to indicate CAPP timebase
-  was synced by OPAL)
-
-New features for FSP based machines:
-- in-band IPMI support
-- ethernet adaptor location codes
-- add DIMM frequency information to device tree
-- improvements in FSP error log code paths
-- fix some boot time memory leaks
-  - harmless to end user
-
-New features for AMI BMC based machines:
-- PCIe power workaround for K80
-- Added support for Macronix 128Mbit flash chips
-- PRD for Firestone platform
-- improved reliability when BMC reboots
-
-The following bugs have been fixed:
-- Increase PHB3 timeout for electrical links coming up to 2 seconds.
-  - fixes issues with some Mellanox cards
-- Hang in opal_reinit_cpus() that could prevent kdump from functioning
-- PHB3: fix crash in phb3_init
-- PHB3: fix crash with fenced PHB in phb3_init_hw()
-- Fix bugs in hw/bt.c (interface for IPMI on BMC machines) that could possibly
-  lead to a crash (dereferencing invalid address, deadlock)
-- ipmi/sel: fix use-after-free
-- Bug fixes in EEH handling
-  - opal_pci_next_error() cleared OPAL_EVENT_PCI_ERROR unconditionally, possibly
-    leading to missed errors.
-FSP-specific bugs fixed:
-- (also fixed in skiboot-5.0.2) Fix race in firenze_get_slot_info() leading to
-  assert() with many PCI cards
-    With many PCI cards, we'd hit a race where calls to
-    firenze_add_pcidev_to_fsp_inventory would step on each other leading to
-    memory corruption and finally an assert() in the allocator being hit
-    during boot.
-- PCIe power workaround for K80 cards
-- /ibm,opal/led renamed to /ibm,opal/leds in Device Tree
-  - compatible change as no FSP based systems shipped with skiboot-5.0
-
-General improvements:
-- don't run pollers on non-boot CPUs in time_wait
-- improvements to opal-prd, pflash, libflash
-  - including new blocklevel interface in libflash
-- many minor fixes to issues found by static analysis
-- improvements in FSP error log code paths
-- code cleanup in memory allocator
-- Don't expose individual nvram partitions in the device tree, just the whole
-  flash device.
-- build improvements for building on ppc64el host
-- improvements in cpu_relax() for idle threads, needed for GCOV on large
-  machines.
-- Optimized memset() for POWER8, greatly reducing number of instructions
-  executed for boot, which helps boot time in simulators.
-- Major improvements in hello_world kernel
-  - Bloat of huge 17 instruction test case reduced to 10.
-- Disable bust_locks for general calls of abort()
-  - Should enable better error messages during abort() when other users of
-    LPC bus exist (e.g. flash)
