It replaces +:ref:`skiboot-5.4.4` as the current stable release in the 5.4.x series. + +Over :ref:`skiboot-5.4.4`, we have a small number of bug fixes: + + +- On FSP platforms: notify FSP of Platform Log ID after Host Initiated Reset Reload + Trigging a Host Initiated Reset (when the host detects the FSP has gone + out to lunch and should be rebooted), would cause "Unknown Command" messages + to appear in the OPAL log. + + This patch implements those messages. + + Log showing unknown command: :: + + / # cat /sys/firmware/opal/msglog | grep -i ,3 + [ 110.232114723,3] FSP: fsp_trigger_reset() entry + [ 188.431793837,3] FSP #0: Link down, starting R&R + [ 464.109239162,3] FSP #0: Got XUP with no pending message ! + [ 466.340598554,3] FSP-DPO: Unknown command 0xce0900 + [ 466.340600126,3] FSP: Unhandled message ce0900 + +- hw/i2c: Fix early lock drop + + When interacting with an I2C master the p8-i2c driver (common to p9) + aquires a per-master lock which it holds for the duration of it's + interaction with the master. Unfortunately, when + p8_i2c_check_initial_status() detects that the master is busy with + another transaction it drops the lock and returns OPAL_BUSY. This is + contrary to the driver's locking strategy which requires that the + caller aquire and drop the lock.

Given + these are both 64 bit registers this leads to some strange register dumps, + for example: :: + + *********************************************** + Unexpected exception 200 ! + SRR0 : 0000000030016968 SRR1 : 9000000000201000 + HSRR0: 0000000000000180 HSRR1: 9000000000001000 + LR : 3003438830823f50 CTR : 3003438800000018 + CFAR : 00000000300168fc + CR : 40004208 XER: 00000000 + + In this dump the upper 32 bits of LR and CTR are actually stack gunk + which obscures the underlying issue. |
