+skiboot-5.10
+============
+
+skiboot v5.10 was released on Friday February 23rd 2018. It is the first
+release of skiboot 5.10, and becomes the new stable release
+of skiboot following the 5.9 release, first released October 31st 2017.
+
+skiboot v5.10 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.9.8`
+and :ref:`skiboot-5.4.9`. We do not forsee any further 5.9.x releases.
+
+For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details.
+
+Over skiboot-5.9, we have the following changes:
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc3:
+
+- sensor-groups: occ: Add support to disable/enable sensor group
+
+ This patch adds a new opal call to enable/disable a sensor group. This
+ call is used to select the sensor groups that needs to be copied to
+ main memory by OCC at runtime.
+- sensors: occ: Add energy counters
+
+ Export the accumulated power values as energy sensors. The accumulator
+ field of power sensors are used for representing energy counters which
+ can be exported as energy counters in Linux hwmon interface.
+- sensors: Support reading u64 sensor values
+
+ This patch adds support to read u64 sensor values. This also adds
+ changes to the core and the backend implementation code to make this
+ API as the base call. Host can use this new API to read sensors
+ upto 64bits.
+
+ This adds a list to store the pointer to the kernel u32 buffer, for
+ older kernels making async sensor u32 reads.
+- dt: add /cpus/ibm,powerpc-cpu-features device tree bindings
+
+ This is a new CPU feature advertising interface that is fine-grained,
+ extensible, aware of privilege levels, and gives control of features
+ to all levels of the stack (firmware, hypervisor, and OS).
+
+ The design and binding specification is described in detail in doc/.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- DT: Add "version" property under ibm, firmware-versions node
+
+ First line of VERSION section in PNOR contains firmware version.
+ Use that to add "version" property under firmware versions dt node.
+
+ Sample output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ root@xxx2:/proc/device-tree/ibm,firmware-versions# lsprop
+ version "witherspoon-ibm-OP9_v1.19_1.94"
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc1:
+
+- hw/npu2: Implement logging HMI actions
+
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- hdata: Parse IPL FW feature settings
+
+ Add parsing for the firmware feature flags in the HDAT. This
+ indicates the settings of various parameters which are set at IPL time
+ by firmware.
+
+- opal/xstop: Use nvram option to enable/disable sw checkstop.
+
+ Add a mechanism to enable/disable sw checkstop by looking at nvram option
+ opal-sw-xstop=<enable/disable>.
+
+ For now this patch disables the sw checkstop trigger unless explicitly
+ enabled through nvram option 'opal-sw-xstop=enable'i for p9. This will allow
+ an opportunity to get host kernel in panic path or xmon for unrecoverable
+ HMIs or MCE, to be able to debug the issue effectively.
+
+ To enable sw checkstop in opal issue following command: ::
+
+ nvram -p ibm,skiboot --update-config opal-sw-xstop=enable
+
+ **NOTE:** This is a workaround patch to disable sw checkstop by default to gain
+ control in host kernel for better checkstop debugging. Once we have most of
+ the checkstop issues stabilized/resolved, revisit this patch to enable sw
+ checkstop by default.
+
+ For p8 platform it will remain enabled by default unless explicitly disabled.
+
+ To disable sw checkstop on p8 issue following command: ::
+
+ nvram -p ibm,skiboot --update-config opal-sw-xstop=disable
+- hdata: Parse SPD data
+
+ Parse SPD data and populate device tree.
+
+ list of properties parsing from SPD: ::
+
+ [root@ltc-wspoon dimm@d00f]# lsprop .
+ memory-id 0000000c (12) # DIMM type
+ product-version 00000032 (50) # Module Revision Code
+ device_type "memory-dimm-ddr4"
+ serial-number 15d9acb6 (366587062)
+ status "okay"
+ size 00004000 (16384)
+ phandle 000000bd (189)
+ ibm,loc-code "UOPWR.0000000-Node0-DIMM7"
+ part-number "36ASF2G72PZ-2G6B2 "
+ reg 0000d007 (53255)
+ name "dimm"
+ manufacturer-id 0000802c (32812) # Vendor ID, we can get vendor name from this ID
+
+ Also update documentation.
+- hdata: Add memory hierarchy under xscom node
+
+ We have memory to chip mapping but doesn't have complete memory hierarchy.
+ This patch adds memory hierarchy under xscom node. This is specific to
+ P9 system as these hierarchy may change between processor generation.
+
+ It uses memory controller ID details and populates nodes like:
+ xscom@<addr>/mcbist@<mcbist_id>/mcs@<mcs_id>/mca@<mca_id>/dimm@<resource_id>
+
+ Also this patch adds few properties under dimm node.
+ Finally make sure xscom nodes created before calling memory_parse().
+
+Fast Reboot and Quiesce
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+We have a preliminary fast reboot implementation for POWER9 systems, which
+we look to enabling by default in the next release.
+
+The OPAL Quiesce calls are designed to improve reliability and debuggability
+around reboot and error conditions. See the full API documentation for details:
+:ref:`opal-quiesce`.
+
+- fast-reboot: bare bones fast reboot implementation for POWER9
+
+ This is an initial fast reboot implementation for p9 which has only been
+ tested on the Witherspoon platform, and without the use of NPUs, NX/VAS,
+ etc.
+
+ This has worked reasonably well so far, with no failures in about 100
+ reboots. It is hidden behind the traditional fast-reboot experimental
+ nvram option, until more platforms and configurations are tested.
+- fast-reboot: move boot CPU clean-up logically together with secondaries
+
+ Move the boot CPU clean-up and state transition to active, logically
+ together with secondaries. Don't release secondaries from fast reboot
+ hold until everyone has cleaned up and transitioned to active.
+
+ This is cosmetic, but it is helpful to run the fast reboot state machine
+ the same way on all CPUs.
+- fast-reboot: improve failure error messages
+
+ Change existing failure error messages to PR_NOTICE so they get
+ printed to the console, and add some new ones. It's not a more
+ severe class because it falls back to IPL on failure.
+- fast-reboot: quiesce opal before initiating a fast reboot
+
+ Switch fast reboot to use quiescing rather than "wait for a while".
+
+ If firmware can not be quiesced, then fast reboot is skipped. This
+ significantly improves the robustness of fast reboot in the face of
+ bugs or unexpected latencies.
+
+ Complexity of synchronization in fast-reboot is reduced, because we
+ are guaranteed to be single-threaded when quiesce succeeds, so locks
+ can be removed.
+
+ In the case that firmware can be quiesced, then it will generally
+ reduce fast reboot times by nearly 200ms, because quiescing usually
+ takes very little time.
+- core: Add support for quiescing OPAL
+
+ Quiescing is ensuring all host controlled CPUs (except the current
+ one) are out of OPAL and prevented from entering. This can be use in
+ debug and shutdown paths, particularly with system reset sequences.
+
+ This patch adds per-CPU entry and exit tracking for OPAL calls, and
+ adds logic to "hold" or "reject" at entry time, if OPAL is quiesced.
+
+ An OPAL call is added, to expose the functionality to Linux, where it
+ can be used for shutdown, kexec, and before generating sreset IPIs for
+ debugging (so the debug code does not recurse into OPAL).
+- dctl: p9 increase thread quiesce timeout
+
+ We require all instructions to be completed before a thread is
+ considered stopped, by the dctl interface. Long running instructions
+ like cache misses and CI loads may take a significant amount of time
+ to complete, and timeouts have been observed in stress testing.
+
+ Increase the timeout significantly, to cover this. The workbook
+ just says to poll, but we like to have timeouts to avoid getting
+ stuck in firmware.
+
+
+POWER9 power saving
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There is much improved support for deeper sleep/idle (stop) states on POWER9.
+
+- OCC: Increase max pstate check on P9 to 255
+
+ This has changed from P8, we can now have > 127 pstates.
+
+ This was observed on Boston during WoF bring up.
+- SLW: Add idle state stop5 for DD2.0 and above
+
+ Adding stop5 idle state with rough residency and latency numbers.
+- SLW: Add p9_stop_api calls for IMC
+
+ Add p9_stop_api for EVENT_MASK and PDBAR scoms. These scoms are lost on
+ wakeup from stop11.
+
+- SCOM restore for DARN and XIVE
+
+ While waking up from stop11, we want NCU_DARN_BAR to have enable bit set.
+ Without this stop_api call, the value restored is without enable bit set.
+ We loose NCU_SPEC_BAR when the quad goes into stop11, stop_api will
+ restore while waking up from stop11.
+
+- SLW: Call p9_stop_api only if deep_states are enabled
+
+ All init time p9_stop_api calls have been isolated to slw_late_init. If
+ p9_stop_api fails, then the deep states can be excluded from device tree.
+
+ For p9_stop_api called after device-tree for cpuidle is created ,
+ has_deep_states will be used to check if this call is even required.
+- Better handle errors in setting up sleep states (p9_stop_api)
+
+ We won't put affected stop states in the device tree if the wakeup
+ engine is not present or has failed.
+- SCOM Restore: Increased the EQ SCOM restore limit.
+
+ Commit increases the SCOM restore limit from 16 to 31.
+- hw/dts: retry special wakeup operation if core still gated
+
+ It has been observed that in some cases the special wakeup
+ operation can "succeed" but the core is still in a gated/offline
+ state.
+
+ Check for this state after attempting to wakeup a core and retry
+ the wakeup if necessary.
+- core/direct-controls: add function to read core gated state
+- core/direct-controls: wait for core special wkup bit cleared
+
+ When clearing special wakeup bit on a core, wait until the
+ bit is actually cleared by the hardware in the status register
+ until returning success.
+
+ This may help avoid issues with back-to-back reads where the
+ special wakeup request is cleared but the firmware is still
+ processing the request and the next attempt to set the bit
+ reads an immediate success from the previous operation.
+- p9_stop_api: PM: Added support for version control in SCOM restore entries.
+
+ - adds version info in SCOM restore entry header
+ - adds version specific details in SCOM restore entry header
+ - retains old behaviour of SGPE Hcode's base version
+- p9_stop_api: EQ SCOM Restore: Introduced version control in SCOM restore entry.
+
+ - introduces version control in header of SCOM restore entry
+ - ensures backward compatibility
+ - introduces flexibility to handle any number of SCOM restore entry.
+
+Secure and Trusted Boot for POWER9
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We introduce support for Secure and Trusted Boot for POWER9 systems, with equal
+functionality that we have on POWER8 systems, that is, we have the mechanisms in
+place to boot to petitboot (i.e. to BOOTKERNEL).
+
+See the :ref:`stb-overview` for full documentation of OPAL secure and trusted boot.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- stb: Put correct label (for skiboot) into container
+
+ Hostboot will expect the label field of the stb header to contain
+ "PAYLOAD" for skiboot or it will fail to load and run skiboot.
+
+ The failure looks something like this: ::
+
+ 53.40896|ISTEP 20. 1 - host_load_payload
+ 53.65840|secure|Secureboot Failure plid = 0x90000755, rc = 0x1E07

+ 53.68003| Procedure : EPUB_PRC_FW_VERIFICATION_ERR
+ 53.68003| Priority : SRCI_PRIORITY_HIGH
+ 53.68004|------------------------------------------------
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc1:
+
+- stb: Enforce secure boot if called before libstb initialized
+- stb: Correctly error out when no PCR for resource
+- core/init: move imc catalog preload init after the STB init.
+
+ As a safer side move the imc catalog preload after the STB init
+ to make sure the imc catalog resource get's verified and measured
+ properly during loading when both secure and trusted boot modes
+ are on.
+- libstb: fix failure of calling trusted measure without STB initialization.
+
+ When we load a flash resource during OPAL init, STB calls trusted measure
+ to measure the given resource. There is a situation when a flash gets loaded
+ before STB initialization then trusted measure cannot measure properly.
+
+ So this patch fixes this issue by calling trusted measure only if the
+ corresponding trusted init was done.
+
+ The ideal fix is to make sure STB init done at the first place during init
+ and then do the loading of flash resources, by that way STB can properly
+ verify and measure the all resources.
+- libstb: fix failure of calling cvc verify without STB initialization.
+
+ Currently in OPAL init time at various stages we are loading various
+ PNOR partition containers from the flash device. When we load a flash
+ resource STB calls the CVC verify and trusted measure(sha512) functions.
+ So when we have a flash resource gets loaded before STB initialization,
+ then cvc verify function fails to start the verify and enforce the boot.
+
+ Below is one of the example failure where our VERSION partition gets
+ loading early in the boot stage without STB initialization done.
+
+ This is with secure mode off.
+ STB: VERSION NOT VERIFIED, invalid param. buf=0x305ed930, len=4096 key-hash=0x0 hash-size=0
+
+ In the same code path when secure mode is on, the boot process will abort.
+
+ So this patch fixes this issue by calling cvc verify only if we have
+ STB init was done.
+
+ And also we need a permanent fix in init path to ensure STB init gets
+ done at first place and then start loading all other flash resources.
+- libstb/tpm_chip: Add missing new line to print messages.
+- libstb: increase the log level of verify/measure messages to PR_NOTICE.
+
+ Currently libstb logs the verify and hash caluculation messages in
+ PR_INFO level. So when there is a secure boot enforcement happens
+ in loading last flash resource(Ex: BOOTKERNEL), the previous verify
+ and measure messages are not logged to console, which is not clear
+ to the end user which resource is verified and measured.
+ So this patch fixes this by increasing the log level to PR_NOTICE.
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- allow secure boot if not enforcing it
+
+ We check the secure boot containers no matter what, only *enforcing*
+ secure boot if we're booting in secure mode. This gives us an extra
+ layer of checking firmware is legit even when secure mode isn't enabled,
+ as well as being really useful for testing.
+- libstb/(create|print)-container: Sync with sb-signing-utils
+
+ The sb-signing-utils project has improved upon the skeleton
+ create-container tool that existed in skiboot, including
+ being able to (quite easily) create *signed* images.
+
+ This commit brings in that code (and makes it build in the
+ skiboot build environment) and updates our skiboot.*.stb
+ generating code to use the development keys. This means that by
+ default, skiboot build process will let you build firmware that can
+ do a secure boot with *development* keys.
+
+ See :ref:`signing-firmware-code` for details on firmware signing.
+
+ We also update print-container as well, syncing it with the
+ upstream project.
+
+ Derived from github.com:open-power/sb-signing-utils.git
+ at v0.3-5-gcb111c03ad7f
+ (Some discussion ongoing on the changes, another sync will come shortly)
+
+- doc: update libstb documentation with POWER9 changes.
+ See: :ref:`stb-overview`.
+
+ POWER9 changes reflected in the libstb:
+
+ - bumped ibm,secureboot node to v2
+ - added ibm,cvc node
+ - hash-algo superseded by hw-key-hash-size
+
+- libstb/cvc: update memory-region to point to /reserved-memory
+
+ The linux documentation, reserved-memory.txt, says that memory-region is
+ a phandle that pairs to a children of /reserved-memory.
+
+ This updates /ibm,secureboot/ibm,cvc/memory-region to point to
+ /reserved-memory/secure-crypt-algo-code instead of
+ /ibm,hostboot/reserved-memory/secure-crypt-algo-code.
+- libstb: add support for ibm,secureboot-v2
+
+ ibm,secureboot-v2 changes:
+
+ - The Container Verification Code is represented by the ibm,cvc node.
+ - Each ibm,cvc child describes a CVC service.
+ - hash-algo is superseded by hw-key-hash-size.
+- hdata/tpmrel.c: add ibm, cvc device tree node
+
+ In P9, the Container Verification Code is stored in a hostboot reserved
+ memory and the list of provided CVC services is stored in the
+ TPMREL_IDATA_HASH_VERIF_OFFSETS idata array. Each CVC service has an
+ offset and version.
+
+ This adds the ibm,cvc device tree node and its documentation.
+- hdata/tpmrel.c: add firmware event log info to the tpm node
+
+ This parses the firmware event log information from the
+ secureboot_tpm_info HDAT structure and add it to the tpm device tree
+ node.
+
+ There can be multiple secureboot_tpm_info entries with each entry
+ corresponding to a master processor that has a tpm device, however,
+ multiple tpm is not supported.
+- hdata/spira: add ibm,secureboot node in P9
+
+ In P9, skiboot builds the device tree from the HDAT. These are the
+ "ibm,secureboot" node changes compared to P8:
+
+ - The Container-Verification-Code (CVC), a.k.a. ROM code, is no longer
+ stored in a secure ROM with static address. In P9, it is stored in a
+ hostboot reserved memory and each service provided also has a version,
+ not only an offset.
+ - The hash-algo property is not provided via HDAT, instead it provides
+ the hw-key-hash-size, which is indeed the information required by the
+ CVC to verify containers.
+
+ This parses the iplparams_sysparams HDAT structure and creates the
+ "ibm,secureboot", which is bumped to "ibm,secureboot-v2".
+
+ In "ibm,secureboot-v2":
+
+ - hash-algo property is superseded by hw-key-hash-size.
+ - container verification code is explicitly described by a child node.
+ Added in a subsequent patch.
+
+ See :ref:`device-tree/ibm,secureboot` for documentation.
+- libstb/tpm_chip.c: define pr_fmt and fix messages logged
+
+ This defines pr_fmt and also fix messages logged:
+
+ - EV_SEPARATOR instead of 0xFFFFFFFF
+ - when an event is measured it also prints the tpm id, event type and
+ event log length
+
+ Now we can filter the messages logged by libstb and its
+ sub-modules by running: ::
+
+ grep STB /sys/firmware/opal/msglog
+- libstb/tss: update the list of event types supported
+
+ Skiboot, precisely the tpmLogMgr, initializes the firmware event log by
+ calculating its length so that a new event can be recorded without
+ exceeding the log size. In order to calculate the size, it walks through
+ the log until it finds a specific event type. However, if the log has
+ an unknown event type, the tpmLogMgr will not be able to reach the end
+ of the log.
+
+ This updates the list of event types with all of those supported by
+ hostboot. Thus, skiboot can properly calculate the event log length.
+- tpm_i2c_nuvoton: add nuvoton, npct601 to the compatible property
+
+ The linux kernel doesn't have a driver compatible with
+ "nuvoton,npct650", but it does have for "nuvoton,npct601", which should
+ also be compatible with npct650.
+
+ This adds "nuvoton,npct601" to the compatible devtree property.
+- libstb/trustedboot.c: import stb_final() from stb.c
+
+ The stb_final() primary goal is to measure the event EV_SEPARATOR
+ into PCR[0-7] when trusted boot is about to exit the boot services.
+
+ This imports the stb_final() from stb.c into trustedboot.c, but making
+ the following changes:
+
+ - Rename it to trustedboot_exit_boot_services().
+ - As specified in the TCG PC Client specification, EV_SEPARATOR events must
+ be logged with the name 0xFFFFFF.
+ - Remove the ROM driver clean-up call.
+ - Don't allow code to be measured in skiboot after
+ trustedboot_exit_boot_services() is called.
+- libstb/cvc.c: import softrom behaviour from drivers/sw_driver.c
+
+ Softrom is used only for testing with mambo. By setting
+ compatible="ibm,secureboot-v1-softrom" in the "ibm,secureboot" node,
+ firmware images can be properly measured even if the
+ Container-Verification-Code (CVC) is not available. In this case, the
+ mbedtls_sha512() function is used to calculate the sha512 hash of the
+ firmware images.
+
+ This imports the softrom behaviour from libstb/drivers/sw_driver.c code
+ into cvc.c, but now softrom is implemented as a flag. When the flag is
+ set, the wrappers for the CVC services work the same way as in
+ sw_driver.c.
+- libstb/trustedboot.c: import tb_measure() from stb.c
+
+ This imports tb_measure() from stb.c, but now it calls the CVC sha512
+ wrapper to calculate the sha512 hash of the firmware image provided.
+
+ In trustedboot.c, the tb_measure() is renamed to trustedboot_measure().
+
+ The new function, trustedboot_measure(), no longer checks if the
+ container payload hash calculated at boot time matches with the hash
+ found in the container header. A few reasons:
+
+ - If the system admin wants the container header to be
+ checked/validated, the secure boot jumper must be set. Otherwise,
+ the container header information may not be reliable.
+ - The container layout is expected to change over time. Skiboot
+ would need to maintain a parser for each container layout
+ change.
+ - Skiboot could be checking the hash against a container version that
+ is not supported by the Container-Verification-Code (CVC).
+
+ The tb_measure() calls are updated to trustedboot_measure() in a
+ subsequent patch.
+- libstb/secureboot.c: import sb_verify() from stb.c
+
+ This imports the sb_verify() function from stb.c, but now it calls the
+ CVC verify wrapper in order to verify signed firmware images. The
+ hw-key-hash and hw-key-hash-size initialized in secureboot.c are passed
+ to the CVC verify function wrapper.
+
+ In secureboot.c, the sb_verify() is renamed to secureboot_verify(). The
+ sb_verify() calls are updated in a subsequent patch.
+
+XIVE
+----
+- xive: Don't bother cleaning up disabled EQs in reset
+
+ Additionally, warn if we find an enabled one that isn't one
+ of the firmware built-in queues.
+- xive: Warn on valid VPs found in abnormal cases
+
+ If an allocated VP is left valid at xive_reset() or Linux tries
+ to free a valid (enabled) VP block, print errors. The former happens
+ occasionally if kdump'ing while KVM is running so keep it as a debug
+ message. The latter is a programming error in Linux so use a an
+ error log level.
+- xive: Properly reserve built-in VPs in non-group mode
+
+ This is not normally used but if the #define is changed to
+ disable block group mode we would incorrectly clear the
+ buddy completely without marking the built-in VPs reserved.
+- xive: Quieten debug messages in standard builds
+
+ This makes a bunch of messages, especially the per-CPU ones,
+ only enabled in debug builds. This avoids clogging up the
+ OPAL logs with XIVE related messages that have proven not
+ being particularly useful for field defects.
+- xive: Implement "single escalation" feature
+
+ This adds a new VP flag to control the new DD2.0
+ "single escalation" feature.
+
+ This feature allows us to have a single escalation
+ interrupt per VP instead of one per queue.
+
+ It works by hijacking queue 7 (which is this no longer
+ usable when that is enabled) and exploiting two new
+ hardware bits that will:
+
+ - Make the normal queues (0..6) escalate unconditionally
+ thus ignoring the ESe bits.
+ - Route the above escalations to queue 7
+ - Have queue 7 silently escalate without notification
+
+ Thus the escalation of queue 7 becomes the one escalation
+ interrupt for all the other queues.
+- xive: When disabling a VP, wipe all of its settings
+- xive: Improve cleaning up of EQs
+
+ Factors out the function that sets an EQ back to a clean
+ state and add a cleaning pass for queue left enabled
+ when freeing a block of VPs.
+- xive: When disabling an EQ, wipe all of its settings
+
+ This avoids having configuration bits left over
+- xive: Define API for single-escalation VP mode
+
+ This mode allows all queues of a VP to use the same
+ escalation interrupt, at the cost of losing priority 7.
+
+ This adds the definition and documentation of the API,
+ the implementation will come next.
+- xive: Fix ability to clear some EQ flags
+
+ We could never clear "unconditional notify" and "escalate"
+- xive: Update inits for DD2.0
+
+ This updates some inits based on information from the HW
+ designers. This includes enabling some new DD2.0 features
+ that we don't yet exploit.
+- xive: Ensure VC informational FIRs are masked
+
+ Some HostBoot versions leave those as checkstop, they are harmless
+ and can sometimes occur during normal operations.
+- xive: Fix occasional VC checkstops in xive_reset
+
+ The current workaround for the scrub bug described in
+ __xive_cache_scrub() has an issue in that it can leave
+ dirty invalid entries in the cache.
+
+ When cleaning up EQs or VPs during reset, if we then
+ remove the underlying indirect page for these entries,
+ the XIVE will checkstop when trying to flush them out
+ of the cache.
+
+ This replaces the existing workaround with a new pair of
+ workarounds for VPs and EQs:
+
+ - The VP one does the dummy watch on another entry than
+ the one we scrubbed (which does the job of pushing old
+ stores out) using an entry that is known to be backed by
+ a permanent indirect page.
+ - The EQ one switches to a more efficient workaround
+ which consists of doing a non-side-effect ESB load from
+ the EQ's ESe control bits.
+- xive: Do not return a trigger page for an escalation interrupt
+
+ This is bogus, we don't support them. (Thankfully the callers
+ didn't actually try to use this on escalation interrupts).
+- xive: Mark a freed IRQs IVE as valid and masked
+
+ Removing the valid bit means a FIR will trip if it's accessed
+ inadvertently. Under some circumstances, the XIVE will speculatively
+ access an IVE for a masked interrupt and trip it. So make sure that
+ freed entries are still marked valid (but masked).

+
+ This reverts commit 1172a6c57ff3c66f6361e572a1790cbcc0e5ff37.
+- hdata/iohub: Use only wildcard slots for pluggables
+
+ We don't want to cause a VID:DID check against pluggable devices, as

+
+- pci: Shared slot state synchronisation for hot reset
+
+ When a device is shared between two PHBs, it doesn't get reset properly
+ unless both PHBs issue a hot reset at "the same time". Practically this
+ means a hot reset needs to be issued on both sides, and neither should
+ bring the link up until the reset on both has completed.
+- pci: Track peers of slots

+Since skiboot-5.10-rc4:
+
+- phb4: Disable lane eq when retrying some nvidia GEN3 devices
+
+ This fixes these nvidia cards training at only GEN2 spends rather than
+ GEN3 by disabling PCIe lane equalisation.
+
+ Firstly we check if the card is in a whitelist. If it is and the link
+ has not trained optimally, retry with lane equalisation off. We do
+ this on all POWER9 chip revisions since this is a device issue, not
+ a POWER9 chip issue.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- phb4: Only escalate freezes on MMIO load where necessary
+
+ In order to work around a hardware issue, MMIO load freezes were
+ escalated to fences on every chip. Now that hardware no longer requires
+ this, restrict escalation to the chips that actually need it.
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- phb4: Change PCI MMIO timers
+
+ Currently we have a mismatch between the NCU and PCI timers for MMIO
+ accesses. The PCI timers must be lower than the NCU timers otherwise
+ it may cause checkstops.
+
+ This changes PCI timeouts controlled by skiboot to 33-50ms. It should
+ be forwards and backwards compatible with expected hostboot changes to
+ the NCU timer.
+- phb4: Change default GEN3 lane equalisation setting to 0x54
+
+ Currently our GEN3 lane equalisation settings are set to 0x77. Change
+ this to 0x54. This change will allow us to train at GEN3 in a shorter
+ time and more consistently.
+
+ This setting gives us a TX preset 0x4 and RX hint 0x5. This gives a
+ boost in gain for high frequency signalling. It allows the most optimal
+ continuous time linear equalizers (CTLE) for the remote receiver port
+ and de-emphasis and pre-shoot for the remote transmitter port.
+
+ Machine Readable Workbooks (MRW) are moving to this new value also.
+- phb4: Init changes
+
+ These init changes for phb4 from the HW team.
+
+ Link down are now endpoint recoverable (ERC) rather than PHB fatal

+- phb4: Fix lane equalisation setting
+
+ Fix cut and paste from phb3. The sizes have changes now we have GEN4,
+ so the check here needs to change also
+
+ Without this we end up with the default settings (all '7') rather
+ than what's in HDAT.
+- hdata: Fix copying GEN4 lane equalisation settings
+
+ These aren't copied currently but should be.
+- phb4: Fix PE mapping of M32 BAR
+
+ The M32 BAR is the PHB4 region used to map all the non-prefetchable
+ or 32-bit device BARs. It's supposed to have its segments remapped
+ via the MDT and Linux relies on that to assign them individual PE#.
+
+ However, we weren't configuring that properly and instead used the
+ mode where PE# == segment#, thus causing EEH to freeze the wrong
+ device or PE#.
+- phb4: Fix lost bit in PE number on config accesses
+
+ A PE number can be up to 9 bits, using a uint8_t won't fly..
+
+ That was causing error on config accesses to freeze the
+ wrong PE.
+- phb4: Update inits
+
+ New init value from HW folks for the fence enable register.
+
+ This clears bit 17 (CFG Write Error CA or UR response) and bit 22 (MMIO Write

+ write performance than expected.
+
+ The patch updates enable_capi_mode() to remove the masking of

+
+ When exercising more than one CAPI accelerators simultaneously in

+
+ " With virtual machines enabled we had a deadlock scenario where with 2
+ or more CAPI's in a system you could get in a deadlock scenario due to

+- xive: Mask MMIO load/store to bad location FIR
+
+ For opencapi, the trigger page of an interrupt is mapped to user

+ there's nothing to prevent a user process from reading it, which has
+ the unfortunate consequence of checkstopping the system.
+
+ Mask the FIR bit raised when an MMIO operation targets an invalid
+ location. It's the recommendation from recent documentation and
+ hostboot is expected to mask it at some point. In the meantime, let's
+ play it safe.
+- phb4: Dump CAPP error registers when it asserts link down
+
+ This patch introduces a new function phb4_dump_app_err_regs() that
+ dumps CAPP error registers in case the PEC nestfir register indicates
+ that the fence was due to a CAPP error (BIT-24).
+
+ Contents of these registers are helpful in diagnosing CAPP

+- capi: update ci store buffers and dma engines
+
+ The number of read (APC type traffic) and mmio store (MSG type traffic)

+- sensors: dts: Assert special wakeup on idle cores while reading temperature
+

+- sensors: occ: Skip power sensors with zero sample value
+
+ APSS is not available on platforms like Zaius, Romulus where OCC
+ can only measure Vdd (core) and Vdn (nest) power from the AVSbus

+ with 0. Different component power sensors like system, memory
+ which point to the APSS channels will also be 0.

+
+General fixes
+-------------
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc3:
+
+- core: Fix mismatched names between reserved memory nodes & properties
+
+ OPAL exposes reserved memory regions through the device tree in both new
+ (nodes) and old (properties) formats.
+
+ However, the names used for these don't match - we use a generated cell
+ address for the nodes, but the plain region name for the properties.
+
+ This fixes a warning from FWTS
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- vas: Disable VAS/NX-842 on some P9 revisions
+
+ VAS/NX-842 are not functional on some P9 revisions, so disable them
+ in hardware and skip creating their device tree nodes.
+
+ Since the intent is to prevent OS from configuring VAS/NX, we remove
+ only the platform device nodes but leave the VAS/NX DT nodes under
+ xscom (i.e we don't skip add_vas_node() in hdata/spira.c)
+- core/device.c: Fix dt_find_compatible_node
+
+ dt_find_compatible_node() and dt_find_compatible_node_on_chip() are used to
+ find device nodes under a parent/root node with a given compatible
+ property.
+
+ dt_next(root, prev) is used to walk the child nodes of the given parent and
+ takes two arguments - root contains the parent node to walk whilst prev
+ contains the previous child to search from so that it can be used as an
+ iterator over all children nodes.
+
+ The first iteration of dt_find_compatible_node(root, prev) calls
+ dt_next(root, root) which is not a well defined operation as prev is
+ assumed to be child of the root node. The result is that when a node
+ contains no children it will start returning the parent nodes siblings
+ until it hits the top of the tree at which point a NULL derefence is
+ attempted when looking for the root nodes parent.
+
+ Dereferencing NULL can result in undesirable data exceptions during system
+ boot and untimely non-hilarious system crashes. dt_next() should not be
+ called with prev == root. Instead we add a check to dt_next() such that
+ passing prev = NULL will cause it to start iterating from the first child
+ node (if any).
+
+ This manifested itself in a crash on boot on ZZ systems.
+- hw/occ: Fix fast-reboot crash in P8 platforms.
+
+ commit 85a1de35cbe4 ("fast-boot: occ: Re-parse the pstate table during fast-boot" )

+
+ This patch fixes this issue by removing these two properties on P8 while doing
+ OCC pstates re-init in fast-reboot code path.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc1:
+
+- fast-reboot: occ: Re-parse the pstate table during fast-reboot
+
+ OCC shares the frequency list to host by copying the pstate table to
+ main memory in HOMER. This table is parsed during boot to create
+ device-tree properties for frequency and pstate IDs. OCC can update
+ the pstate table to present a new set of frequencies to the host. But
+ host will remain oblivious to these changes unless it is re-inited
+ with the updated device-tree CPU frequency properties. So this patch
+ allows to re-parse the pstate table and update the device-tree
+ properties during fast-reboot.
+
+ OCC updates the pstate table when asked to do so using pstate-table
+ bias command. And this is mainly used by WOF team for
+ characterization purposes.
+- fast-reboot: move pci_reset error handling into fast-reboot code
+
+ pci_reset() currently does a platform reboot if it fails. It
+ should not know about fast-reboot at this level, so instead have
+ it return an error, and the fast reboot caller will do the
+ platform reboot.
+
+ The code essentially does the same thing, but flexibility is
+ improved. Ideally the fast reboot code should perform pci_reset
+ and all such fail-able operations before the CPU resets itself
+ and destroys its own stack. That's not the case now, but that
+ should be the goal.
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- lpc: Clear pending IRQs at boot
+
+ When we come in from hostboot the LPC master has the bus reset indicator
+ set. This error isn't handled until the host kernel unmasks interrupts,
+ at which point we get the following spurious error: ::
+
+ [ 20.053560375,3] LPC: Got LPC reset on chip 0x0 !
+ [ 20.053564560,3] LPC[000]: Unknown LPC error Error address reg: 0x00000000
+
+ Fix this by clearing the various error bits in the LPC status register
+ before we initialise the skiboot LPC bus driver.
+- hw/imc: Check ucode state before exposing units to Linux
+
+ disable_unavailable_units() checks whether the ucode
+ is in the running state before enabling the nest units
+ in the device tree. From a recent debug, it is found
+ that on some system boot, ucode is not loaded and
+ running in all the chips in the system. And this
+ caused a fail in OPAL_IMC_COUNTERS_STOP call where
+ we check for ucode state on each chip. Bug here is
+ that disable_unavailable_units() checks the state
+ of the ucode only in boot cpu chip. Patch adds a
+ condition in disable_unavailable_units() to check
+ for the ucode state in all the chip before enabling
+ the nest units in the device tree node.
+
+- hdata/vpd: Add vendor property
+
+ ibm,vpd blob contains VN field. Use that to populate vendor property
+ for various FRU's.
+- hdata/vpd: Fix DTC warnings
+
+ All the nodes under the vpd hierarchy have a unit address (their SLCA
+ index) but no reg properties. Add them and their size/address cells
+ to squash the warnings.
+- HDAT/i2c: Fix SPD EEPROM compatible string
+
+ Hostboot doesn't give us accurate information about the DIMM SPD
+ devices. Hack around by assuming any EEPROM we find on the SPD I2C
+ master is an SPD EEPROM.
+- hdata/i2c: Fix 512Kb EEPROM size
+
+ There's no such thing as a 412Kb EEPROM.
+- libflash/mbox-flash: fall back to requesting lower MBOX versions from BMC
+
+ Some BMC mbox implementations seem to sometimes mysteriously fail when trying
+ to negotiate v3 when they only support v2. To work around this, we
+ can fall back to requesting lower mbox protocol versions until we find
+ one that works.
+
+ In theory, this should already "just work", but we have a counter example,
+ which this patch fixes.
+- IPMI: Fix platform.cec_reboot() null ptr checks
+
+ Kudos to Hugo Landau who reported this in:
+ https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/issues/142
+- hdata: Add location code property to xscom node
+
+ This patch adds chip location code property to xscom node.
+- p8-i2c: Limit number of retry attempts
+
+ Current we will attempt to start an I2C transaction until it succeeds.
+ In the event that the OCC does not release the lock on an I2C bus this
+ results in an async token being held forever and the kernel thread that
+ started the transaction will block forever while waiting for an async
+ completion message. Fix this by limiting the number of attempts to
+ start the transaction.
+- p8-i2c: Don't write the watermark register at init
+
+ On P9 the I2C master is shared with the OCC. Currently the watermark
+ values are set once at init time which is bad for two reasons:
+
+ a) We don't take the OCC master lock before setting it. Which
+ may cause issues if the OCC is currently using the master.
+ b) The OCC might change the watermark levels and we need to reset
+ them.
+
+ Change this so that we set the watermark value when a new transaction
+ is started rather than at init time.
+- hdata: Rename 'fsp-ipl-side' as 'sp-ipl-side'
+
+ as OPAL is building device tree for both FSP and BMC system.
+ Also I don't see anyone using this property today. Hence renaming
+ should be fine.
+- hdata/vpd: add support for parsing CPU VRML records
+
+ Allows skiboot to parse out the processor part/serial numbers
+ on OpenPOWER P9 machines.
+- core/lock: Introduce atomic cmpxchg and implement try_lock with it
+
+ cmpxchg will be used in a subsequent change, and this reduces the
+ amount of asm code.
+- direct-controls: add xscom error handling for p8
+
+ Add xscom checks which will print something useful and return error
+ back to callers (which already have error handling plumbed in).
+- direct-controls: p8 implementation of generic direct controls
+
+ This reworks the sreset functionality that was brought over from
+ fast-reboot, and fits it under the generic direct controls APIs.
+
+ The fast reboot APIs are implemented using generic direct controls,
+ which also makes them available on p9.
+- fast-reboot: allow mambo fast reboot independent of CPU type
+
+ Don't tie mambo fast reboot to POWER8 CPU type.
+- fast-reboot: remove delay after sreset
+
+ There is a 100ms delay when targets reach sreset which does not appear
+ to have a good purpose. Remove it and therefore reduce the sreset timeout
+ by the same amount.
+- fast-reboot: add more barriers around cpu state changes
+
+ This is a bit of paranoia, but when a CPU changes state to signal it
+ has reached a particular point, all previous stores should be visible.
+- fast-reboot: add sreset timeout detection and handling
+
+ Have the initiator wait for all its sreset targets to call in, and
+ time out after 200ms if they did not. Fail and revert to IPL reboot.
+
+ Testing indicates that after successful sreset_all_others(), it
+ takes less than 102ms (in hundreds of fast reboots) for secondaries
+ to call in. 100 of that is due to an initial delay, but core
+ un-splitting was not measured.
+- fast-reboot: make spin loops consistent and SMT friendly
+- fast-reboot: add sreset_all_others error handling
+
+ Pass back failures from sreset_all_others, also change return codes to
+ OPAL form in sreset_all_prepare to match.
+
+ Errors will revert to the IPL path, so it's not critical to completely
+ clean up everything if that would complicate things. Detecting the
+ error and failing is the important thing.
+- fast-reboot: restore SMT priority on spin loop exit
+- Add documentation for ibm, firmware-versions device tree node
+- NX: Print read xscom config failures.
+
+ Currently in NX, only write xscom config failures are tracing.
+ Add trace statements for read xscom config failures too.
+ No functional changes.
+- hw/nx: Fix NX BAR assignments
+
+ The NX rng BAR is used by each core to source random numbers for the
+ DARN instruction. Currently we configure each core to use the NX rng of
+ the chip that it exists on. Unfortunately, the NX can be de-configured by
+ hostboot and in this case we need to use the NX of a different chip.
+
+ This patch moves the BAR assignments for the NX into the normal nx-rng
+ init path. This lets us check if the normal (chip local) NX is active
+ when configuring which NX a core should use so that we can fall back
+ gracefully.
+- FSP-elog: Reduce verbosity of elog messages
+
+ These messages just fill up the opal console log with useless messages
+ resulting in us losing useful information.
+
+ They have been like this since the first commit in skiboot. Make them
+ trace.
+- core/bitmap: fix bitmap iteration limit corruption
+
+ The bitmap iterators did not reduce the number of bits to scan
+ when searching for the next bit, which would result in them
+ overrunning their bitmap.
+
+ These are only used in one place, in xive reset, and the effect
+ is that the xive reset code will keep zeroing memory until it
+ reaches a block of memory of MAX_EQ_COUNT >> 3 bits in length,
+ all zeroes.
+- hw/imc: always enable "imc_nest_chip" exports property
+
+ imc_dt_update_nest_node() adds a "imc_nest_chip" property
+ to the "exports" node (under opal_node) to view nest counter
+ region. This comes handy when debugging ucode runtime
+ errors (like counter data update or control block update
+ so on...). And current code enables the property only if
+ the microcode is in running state at system boot. To aid
+ the debug of ucode not running/starting issues at boot,
+ enable the addition of "imc_nest_chip" property always.
+
+NVLINK2
+-------
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- npu2: Disable TVT range check when in bypass mode
+
+ On POWER9 the GPUs need to be able to access the MMIO memory space. Therefore
+ the TVT range check needs to include the MMIO address space. As any possible
+ range check would cover all of memory anyway this patch just disables the TVT
+ range check all together when bypassing the TCE tables.
+- hw/npu2: support creset of npu2 devices
+
+ creset calls in the hw procedure that resets the PHY, we don't
+ take them out of reset, just put them in reset.
+
+ this fixes a kexec issue.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc1:
+
+- npu2/tce: Fix page size checking
+
+ The page size is encoded in the TVT data [59:63] as @shift+11 but
+ the tce_kill handler does not do the math right; this fixes it.
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- npu2-hw-procedures.c: Correct phy lane mapping
+
+ Each NVLINK2 device is associated with a particular group of OBUS lanes via
+ a lane mask which is read from HDAT via the device-tree. However Skiboot's
+ interpretation of lane mask was different to what is exported from the
+ HDAT.
+
+ Specifically the lane mask bits in the HDAT are encoded in IBM bit ordering
+ for a 24-bit wide value. So for example in normal bit ordering lane-0 is
+ represented by having lane-mask bit 23 set and lane-23 is represented by
+ lane-mask bit 0. This patch alters the Skiboot interpretation to match what
+ is passed from HDAT.
+
+- npu2-hw-procedures.c: Power up lanes during ntl reset
+
+ Newer versions of Hostboot will not power up the NVLINK2 PHY lanes by
+ default. The phy_reset procedure already powers up the lanes but they also
+ need to be powered up in order to access the DL.
+
+ The reset_ntl procedure is called by the device driver to bring the DL out
+ of reset and get it into a working state. Therefore we also need to add
+ lane and clock power up to the reset_ntl procedure.
+- npu2.c: Add PE error detection
+
+ Invalid accesses from the GPU can cause a specific PE to be frozen by the
+ NPU. Add an interrupt handler which reports the frozen PE to the operating
+ system via as an EEH event.
+- npu2.c: Fix XIVE IRQ alignment
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Refactor reset_ntl procedure
+
+ Change the implementation of reset_ntl to match the latest programming
+ guide documentation.
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Add phy_rx_clock_sel()
+
+ Change the RX clk mux control to be done by software instead of HW. This
+ avoids glitches caused by changing the mux setting.
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Change phy_rx_clock_sel values
+
+ The clock selection bits we set here are inputs to a state machine.
+
+ DL clock select (bits 30-31)
+
+ 0b00
+ lane 0 clock
+ 0b01
+ lane 7 clock
+ 0b10
+ grid clock
+ 0b11
+ invalid/no-op
+
+ To recover from a potential glitch, we need to ensure that the value we
+ set forces a state change. Our current sequence is to set 0x3 followed
+ by 0x1. With the above now known, that is actually a no-op followed by
+ selection of lane 7. Depending on lane reversal, that selection is not a
+ state change for some bricks.
+
+ The way to force a state change in all cases is to switch to the grid
+ clock, and then back to a lane.
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Manipulate IOVALID during training
+
+ Ensure that the IOVALID bit for this brick is raised at the start of
+ link training, in the reset_ntl procedure.
+
+ Then, to protect us from a glitch when the PHY clock turns off or gets
+ chopped, lower IOVALID for the duration of the phy_reset and
+ phy_rx_dccal procedures.
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Add check_credits procedure
+
+ As an immediate mitigation for a current hardware glitch, add a procedure
+ that can be used to validate NTL credit values. This will be called as a
+ safeguard to check that link training succeeded.
+
+ Assert that things are exactly as we expect, because if they aren't, the
+ system will experience a catastrophic failure shortly after the start of
+ link traffic.
+- npu2: Print bdfn in NPU2DEV* logging macros
+
+ Revise the NPU2DEV{DBG,INF,ERR} logging macros to include the device's
+ bdfn. It's useful to know exactly which link we're referring to.
+
+ For instance, instead of ::
+
+ [ 234.044921238,6] NPU6: Starting procedure reset_ntl

+ [ 234.059666137,6] NPU6: Starting procedure reset_ntl
+
+ we'll get ::

+ [ 234.059666137,6] NPU6:0:1.2 Starting procedure reset_ntl
+- npu2: Move to new GPU memory map
+
+ There are three different ways we configure the MCD and memory map.
+
+ 1) Old way (current way)
+ Skiboot configures the MCD and puts GPUs at 4TB and below
+ 2) New way with MCD
+ Hostboot configures the MCD and skiboot puts GPU at 4TB and above
+ 3) New way without MCD
+ No one configures the MCD and skiboot puts GPU at 4TB and below
+
+ The patch keeps option 1 and adds options 2 and 3.
+
+ The different configurations are detected using certain scoms (see
+ patch).
+
+ Option 1 will go away eventually as it's a configuration that can
+ cause xstops or data integrity problems. We are keeping it around to
+ support existing hostboot.
+
+ Option 2 supports only 4 GPUs and 512GB of memory per socket.
+
+ Option 3 supports 6 GPUs and 4TB of memory but may have some
+ performance impact.
+- phys-map: Rename GPU_MEM to GPU_MEM_4T_DOWN
+
+ This map is soon to be replaced, but we are going to keep it around
+ for a little while so that we support older hostboot firmware.
+
+Platform Specific Fixes
+-----------------------
+
+Witherspoon
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+- Witherspoon: Remove old Witherspoon platform definition
+
+ An old Witherspoon platform definition was added to aid the transition from
+ versions of Hostboot which didn't have the correct NVLINK2 HDAT information
+ available and/or planar VPD. These system should now be updated so remove
+ the possibly incorrect default assumption.
+
+ This may disable NVLINK2 on old out-dated systems but it can easily be
+ restored with the appropriate FW and/or VPD updates. In any case there is a
+ a 50% chance the existing default behaviour was incorrect as it only
+ supports 6 GPU systems. Using an incorrect platform definition leads to
+ undefined behaviour which is more difficult to detect/debug than not
+ creating the NVLINK2 devices so remove the possibly incorrect default
+ behaviour.
+- Witherspoon: Fix VPD EEPROM type
+
+ There are user-space tools that update the planar VPD via the sysfs
+ interface. Currently we do not get correct information from hostboot
+ about the exact type of the EEPROM so we need to manually fix it up
+ here. This needs to be done as a platform specific fix since there is
+ not standardised VPD EEPROM type.
+
+IBM FSP Systems
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- nvram: Fix 'missing' nvram on FSP systems.
+
+ commit ba4d46fdd9eb ("console: Set log level from nvram") wants to read
+ from NVRAM rather early. This works fine on BMC based systems as
+ nvram_init() is actually synchronous. This is not true for FSP systems
+ and it turns out that the query for the console log level simply
+ queries blank nvram.
+
+ The simple fix is to wait for the NVRAM read to complete before
+ performing any query. Unfortunately it turns out that the fsp-nvram
+ code does not inform the generic NVRAM layer when the read is complete,
+ rather, it must be prompted to do so.
+
+ This patch addresses both these problems. This patch adds a check before
+ the first read of the NVRAM (for the console log level) that the read
+ has completed. The fsp-nvram code has been updated to inform the generic
+ layer as soon as the read completes.
+
+ The old prompt to the fsp-nvram code has been removed but a check to
+ ensure that the NVRAM has been loaded remains. It is conservative but
+ if the NVRAM is not done loading before the host is booted it will not
+ have an nvram device-tree node which means it won't be able to access
+ the NVRAM at all, ever, even after the NVRAM has loaded.
+
+
+Utilities
+----------
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc1:
+
+- opal-prd: Fix FTBFS with -Werror=format-overflow
+
+ i2c.c fails to compile with gcc7 and -Werror=format-overflow used in
+ Debian Unstable and Ubuntu 18.04 : ::
+
+ i2c.c: In function ‘i2c_init’:
+ i2c.c:211:15: error: ‘%s’ directive writing up to 255 bytes into a
+ region of size 236 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- Fix xscom-utils distclean target
+
+ In Debian/Ubuntu, the packaging system likes to have a full clean-up that
+ restores the tree back to original one, so add some files to the distclean
+ target.
+- Add man pages for xscom-utils and pflash
+
+ For the need of Debian/Ubuntu packaging, I inferred some initial man
+ pages from their help output.
+
+
+gard
+^^^^
+- gard: Add tests
+
+ I hear Stewart likes these for some reason. Dunno why.
+- gard: Add OpenBMC vPNOR support
+
+ A big-ol-hack to add some checking for OpenBMC's vPNOR GUARD files under
+ /media/pnor-prsv. This isn't ideal since it doesn't handle the create
+ case well, but it's better than nothing.
+- gard: Always use MTD to access flash
+
+ Direct mode is generally either unsafe or unsupported. We should always
+ access the PNOR via an MTD device so make that the default. If someone
+ really needs direct mode, then they can use pflash.
+- gard: Fix up do_create return values
+
+ The return value of a subcommand is interpreted as a libflash error code
+ when it's positive or some subcommand specific error when negative.
+ Currently the create subcommand always returns zero when exiting (even
+ for errors) so fix that.
+- gard: Add usage message for -p
+
+ The -p argument only really makes sense when -f is specified. Print an
+ actual error message rather than just the usage blob.
+- gard: Fix max instance count
+
+ There's an entire byte for the instance count rather than a nibble. Only
+ barf if the instance number is beyond 255 rather than 16.
+- gard: Fix up path parsing
+
+ Currently we assume that the Unit ID can be used as an array index into
+ the chip_units[] structure. There are holes in the ID space though, so
+ this doesn't actually work. Fix it up by walking the array looking for
+ the ID.
+- gard: Set chip generation based on PVR
+
+ Currently we assume that this tool is being used on a P8 system by
+ default and allow the user to override this behaviour using the -8 and
+ -9 command line arguments. When running on the host we can use the
+ PVR to guess what chip generation so do that.
+
+ This also changes the default behaviour to assume that the host is a P9
+ when running on an ARM system. This tool didn't even work when compiled
+ for ARM until recently and the OpenBMC vPNOR hack that we have currently
+ is broken for P9 systems that don't use vPNOR (Zaius and Romulus).
+- gard: Allow records with an ID of 0xffffffff
+
+ We currently assume that a record with an ID of 0xffffffff is invalid.
+ Apparently this is incorrect and we should display these records, so
+ expand the check to compare the entire record with 0xff rather than
+ just the ID.
+- gard: create: Allow creating arbitrary GARD records
+
+ Add a new sub-command that allows us to create GARD records for
+ arbitrary chip units. There isn't a whole lot of constraints on this and
+ that limits how useful it can be, but it does allow a user to GARD out
+ individual DIMMs, chips or cores from the BMC (or host) if needed.
+
+ There are a few caveats though:
+
+ 1) Not everything can, or should, have a GARD record applied it to.
+ 2) There is no validation that the unit actually exists. Doing that
+ sort of validation requires something that understands the FAPI
+ targeting information (I think) and adding support for it here
+ would require some knowledge from the system XML file.
+ 3) There's no way to get a list of paths in the system.
+ 4) Although we can create a GARD record at runtime it won't be applied
+ until the next IPL.
+- gard: Add path parsing support
+
+ In order to support manual GARD records we need to be able to parse the
+ hardware unit path strings. This patch implements that.
+- gard: list: Improve output
+
+ Display the full path to the GARDed hardware unit in each record rather
+ than relying on the output of `gard show` and convert do_list() to use
+ the iterator while we're here.
+- gard: {list, show}: Fix the Type field in the output
+
+ The output of `gard list` has a field named "Type", however this
+ doesn't actually indicate the type of the record. Rather, it
+ shows the type of the path used to identify the hardware being
+ GARDed. This is of pretty dubious value considering the Physical
+ path seems to always be used when referring to GARDed hardware.
+- gard: Add P9 support
+- gard: Update chip unit data
+
+ Source the list of units from the hostboot source rather than the
+ previous hard coded list. The list of path element types changes
+ between generations so we need to add a level of indirection to
+ accommodate P9. This also changes the names used to match those
+ printed by Hostboot at IPL time and paves the way to adding support
+ for manual GARD record creation.
+- gard: show: Remove "Res Recovery" field
+
+ This field has never been populated by hostboot on OpenPower systems
+ so there's no real point in reporting it's contents.
+
+libflash / pflash
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Anybody shipping libflash or pflash to interact with POWER9 systems must
+upgrade to this version.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- pflash: Fix makefile dependency issue
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- pflash: Support for volatile flag
+
+ The volatile flag was added to the PNOR image to
+ indicate partitions that are cleared during a host
+ power off. Display this flag from the pflash command.
+- pflash: Support for clean_on_ecc_error flag
+
+ Add the misc flag clear_on_ecc_error to libflash/pflash. This was
+ the only missing flag. The generator of the virtual PNOR image
+ relies on libflash/pflash to provide the partition information,
+ so all flags are needed to build an accurate virtual PNOR partition
+ table.
+- pflash: Respect write(2) return values
+
+ The write(2) system call returns the number of bytes written, this is
+ important since it is entitled to write less than what we requested.
+ Currently we ignore the return value and assume it wrote everything we
+ requested. While in practice this is likely to always be the case, it
+ isn't actually correct.
+- external/pflash: Fix erasing within a single erase block
+
+ It is possible to erase within a single erase block. Currently the
+ pflash code assumes that if the erase starts part way into an erase
+ block it is because it needs to be aligned up to the boundary with the
+ next erase block.
+
+ Doing an erase smaller than a single erase block will cause underflows
+ and looping forever on erase.
+- external/pflash: Fix non-zero return code for successful read when size%256 != 0
+
+ When performing a read the return value from pflash is non-zero, even for
+ a successful read, when the size being read is not a multiple of 256.
+ This is because do_read_file returns the value from the write system
+ call which is then returned by pflash. When the size is a multiple of
+ 256 we get lucky in that this wraps around back to zero. However for any
+ other value the return code is size % 256. This means even when the
+ operation is successful the return code will seem to reflect an error.
+
+ Fix this by returning zero if the entire size was read correctly,
+ otherwise return the corresponding error code.
+- libflash: Fix parity calculation on ARM
+
+ To calculate the ECC syndrome we need to calculate the parity of a 64bit
+ number. On non-powerpc platforms we use the GCC builtin function
+ __builtin_parityl() to do this calculation. This is broken on 32bit ARM
+ where sizeof(unsigned long) is four bytes. Using __builtin_parityll()
+ instead cures this.
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Add the ability to lock flash
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Understand v3
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Use BMC suggested timeout value
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Simplify message sending
+
+ hw/lpc-mbox no longer requires that the memory associated with messages
+ exist for the lifetime of the message. Once it has been sent to the BMC,
+ that is bmc_mbox_enqueue() returns, lpc-mbox does not need the message
+ to continue to exist. On the receiving side, lpc-mbox will ensure that a
+ message exists for the receiving callback function.
+
+ Remove all code to deal with allocating messages.
+- hw/lpc-mbox: Simplify message bookkeeping and timeouts
+
+ Currently the hw/lpc-mbox layer keeps a pointer for the currently
+ in-flight message for the duration of the mbox call. This creates
+ problems when messages timeout, is that pointer still valid, what can we
+ do with it. The memory is owned by the caller but if the caller has
+ declared a timeout, it may have freed that memory.
+
+ Another problem is locking. This patch also locks around sending and
+ receiving to avoid races with timeouts and possible resends. There was
+ some locking previously which was likely insufficient - definitely too
+ hard to be sure is correct
+
+ All this is made much easier with the previous rework which moves
+ sequence number allocation and verification into lpc-mbox rather than
+ the caller.
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Allow mbox-flash to tell the driver msg timeouts
+
+ Currently when mbox-flash decides that a message times out the driver
+ has no way of knowing to drop the message and will continue waiting for
+ a response indefinitely preventing more messages from ever being sent.
+
+ This is a problem if the BMC crashes or has some other issue where it
+ won't ever respond to our outstanding message.
+
+ This patch provides a method for mbox-flash to tell the driver how long
+ it should wait before it no longer needs to care about the response.
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Move sequence handling to driver level
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Always close windows before opening a new window
+
+ The MBOX protocol states that if an open window command fails then all
+ open windows are closed. Currently, if an open window command fails
+ mbox-flash will erroneously assume that the previously open window is
+ still open.
+
+ The solution to this is to mark all windows as closed before issuing an
+ open window command and then on success we'll mark the new window as
+ open.
+- libflash/mbox-flash: Add v2 error codes
+
+opal-prd
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Anybody shipping `opal-prd` for POWER9 systems must upgrade `opal-prd` to
+this new version.
+
+- prd: Log unsupported message type
+
+ Useful for debugging.
+
+ Sample output: ::
+
+ [29155.157050283,7] PRD: Unsupported prd message type : 0xc
+
+- opal-prd: occ: Add support for runtime OCC load/start in ZZ
+
+ This patch adds support to handle OCC load/start event from FSP/PRD.
+ During IPL we send a success directly to FSP without invoking any HBRT
+ load routines on receiving OCC load mbox message from FSP. At runtime
+ we forward this event to host opal-prd.
+
+ This patch provides support for invoking OCC load/start HBRT routines
+ like load_pm_complex() and start_pm_complex() from opal-prd.
+- opal-prd: Add support for runtime OCC reset in ZZ
+
+ This patch handles OCC_RESET runtime events in host opal-prd and also
+ provides support for calling 'hostinterface->wakeup()' which is
+ required for doing the reset operation.
+- prd: Enable error logging via firmware_request interface
+
+ In P9 HBRT sends error logs to FSP via firmware_request interface.
+ This patch adds support to parse error log and send it to FSP.
+- prd: Add generic response structure inside prd_fw_msg
+
+ This patch adds generic response structure. Also sync prd_fw_msg type
+ macros with hostboot.
+- opal-prd: flush after logging to stdio in debug mode
+
+ When in debug mode, flush after each log output. This makes it more
+ likely that we'll catch failure reasons on severe errors.
+
+Debugging and reliability improvements
+--------------------------------------
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc3:
+
+- increase log verbosity in debug builds
+- Add -debug to version on DEBUG builds
+- cpu_wait_job: Correctly report time spent waiting for job
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc2:
+
+- ATTN: Enable flush instruction cache bit in HID register
+
+ In P9, we have to enable "flush the instruction cache" bit along with
+ "attn instruction support" bit to trigger attention.
+
+Since skiboot-5.10-rc1:
+
+- core/init: manage MSR[ME] explicitly, always enable
+
+ The current boot sequence inherits MSR[ME] from the IPL firmware, and
+ never changes it. Some environments disable MSR[ME] (e.g., mambo), and
+ others can enable it (hostboot).
+
+ This has two problems. First, MSR[ME] must be disabled while in the
+ process of taking over the interrupt vector from the previous
+ environment. Second, after installing our machine check handler,
+ MSR[ME] should be enabled to get some useful output rather than a
+ checkstop.
+- core/exception: beautify exception handler, add MCE-involved registers
+
+ Print DSISR and DAR, to help with deciphering machine check exceptions,
+ and improve the output a bit, decode NIP symbol, improve alignment, etc.
+ Also print a specific header for machine check, because we do expect to
+ see these if there is a hardware failure.

+
+
+Since skiboot-5.9:
+
+- lock: Add additional lock auditing code
+
+ Keep track of lock owner name and replace lock_depth counter
+ with a per-cpu list of locks held by the cpu.
+
+ This allows us to print the actual locks held in case we hit
+ the (in)famous message about opal_pollers being run with a
+ lock held.
+
+ It also allows us to warn (and drop them) if locks are still
+ held when returning to the OS or completing a scheduled job.
+- Add support for new GCC 7 parametrized stack protector

+ This gives us per-cpu guard values as well. For now I just
+ XOR a magic constant with the CPU PIR value.
+- Mambo: run hello_world and sreset_world tests with Secure and Trusted Boot
+
+ We *disable* the secure boot part, but we keep the verified boot
+ part as we don't currently have container verification code for Mambo.
+
+ We can run a small part of the code currently though.
+
+- core/flash.c: extern function to get the name of a PNOR partition
+
+ This adds the flash_map_resource_name() to allow skiboot subsystems to
+ lookup the name of a PNOR partition. Thus, we don't need to duplicate
+ the same information in other places (e.g. libstb).
+- libflash/mbox-flash: only wait for MBOX_DEFAULT_POLL_MS if busy
+
+ This makes the mbox unit test run 300x quicker and seems to
+ shave about 6 seconds from boot time on Witherspoon.
+- make check: Make valgrind optional
+
+ To (slightly) lower the barrier for contributions, we can make valgrind
+ optional with just a small amount of plumbing.
+
+ This allows make check to run successfully without valgrind.
+- libflash/test: Add tests for mbox-flash
+
+ A first basic set of tests for mbox-flash. These tests do their testing
+ by stubbing out or otherwise replacing functions not in
+ libflash/mbox-flash.c. The stubbed out version of the function can then
+ be used to emulate a BMC mbox daemon talking to back to the code in
+ mbox-flash and it can ensure that there is some adherence to the
+ protocol and that from a block-level api point of view the world appears
+ sane.
+
+ This makes these tests simple to run and they have been integrated into
+ `make check`. The down side is that these tests rely on duplicated
+ feature incomplete BMC daemon behaviour. Therefore these tests are a
+ strong indicator of broken behaviour but a very unreliable indicator of
+ correctness.
+
+ Full integration tests with a 'real' BMC daemon are probably beyond the
+ scope of this repository.
+- external/test/test.sh: fix VERSION substitution when no tags
+
+ i.e. we get a hash rather than a version number
+
+ This seems to be occurring in Travis if it doesn't pull a tag.
+- external/test: make stripping out version number more robust
+
+ For some bizarre reason, Travis started failing on this
+ substitution when there'd been zero code changes in this
+ area... This at least papers over whatever the problem is
+ for the time being.
+- io: Add load_wait() helper
+
+ This uses the standard form twi/isync pair to ensure a load
+ is consumed by the core before continuing. This can be necessary
+ under some circumstances for example when having the following
+ sequence:
+
+ - Store reg A
+ - Load reg A (ensure above store pushed out)
+ - delay loop
+ - Store reg A
+
+ I.E., a mandatory delay between 2 stores. In theory the first store
+ is only guaranteed to reach the device after the load from the same
+ location has completed. However the processor will start executing
+ the delay loop without waiting for the return value from the load.
+
+ This construct enforces that the delay loop isn't executed until
+ the load value has been returned.
+- chiptod: Keep boot timestamps contiguous
+
+ Currently we reset the timebase value to (almost) zero when
+ synchronising the timebase of each chip to the Chip TOD network which
+ results in this: ::
+
+ [ 42.374813167,5] CPU: All 80 processors called in...
+ [ 2.222791151,5] FLASH: Found system flash: Macronix MXxxL51235F id:0
+ [ 2.222977933,5] BT: Interface initialized, IO 0x00e4
+
+ This patch modifies the chiptod_init() process to use the current
+ timebase value rather than resetting it to zero. This results in the
+ timestamps remaining contiguous from the start of hostboot until
+ the petikernel starts. e.g. ::
+
+ [ 70.188811484,5] CPU: All 144 processors called in...
+ [ 72.458004252,5] FLASH: Found system flash: id:0
+ [ 72.458147358,5] BT: Interface initialized, IO 0x00e4
+
+- hdata/spira: Add missing newline to prlog() call
+
+ We're missing a \n here.
+- opal/xscom: Add recovery for lost core wakeup SCOM failures.
+
+ Due to a hardware issue where core responding to SCOM was delayed due to
+ thread reconfiguration, leaves the SCOM logic in a state where the
+ subsequent SCOM to that core can get errors. This is affected for Core
+ PC SCOM registers in the range of 20010A80-20010ABF
+
+ The solution is if a xscom timeout occurs to one of Core PC SCOM registers
+ in the range of 20010A80-20010ABF, a clearing SCOM write is done to
+ 0x20010800 with data of '0x00000000' which will also get a timeout but
+ clears the SCOM logic errors. After the clearing write is done the original
+ SCOM operation can be retried.
+
+ The SCOM timeout is reported as status 0x4 (Invalid address) in HMER[21-23].
+- opal/xscom: Move the delay inside xscom_reset() function.
+
+ So caller of xscom_reset() does not have to bother about adding a delay
+ separately. Instead caller can control whether to add a delay or not using
+ second argument to xscom_reset().
+- timer: Stop calling list_top() racily
+
+ This will trip the debug checks in debug builds under some circumstances
+ and is actually a rather bad idea as we might look at a timer that is
+ concurrently being removed and modified, and thus incorrectly assume
+ there is no work to do.
+- fsp: Bail out of HIR if FSP is resetting voluntarily
+
+ a. Surveillance response times out and OPAL triggers a HIR
+ b. Before the HIR process kicks in, OPAL gets a PSI interrupt indicating link down
+ c. HIR process continues and OPAL tries to write to DRCR; PSI link inactive => xstop
+
+ OPAL should confirm that the FSP is not already in reset in the HIR path.
+- sreset_kernel: only run SMT tests due to not supporting re-entry
+- Use systemsim-p9 v1.1
+- direct-controls: enable fast reboot direct controls for mambo
+
+ Add mambo direct controls to stop threads, which is required for
+ reliable fast-reboot. Enable direct controls by default on mambo.
+- core/opal: always verify cpu->pir on entry
+- asm/head: add entry/exit calls
+
+ Add entry and exit C functions that can do some more complex
+ checks before the opal proper call. This requires saving off
+ volatile registers that have arguments in them.
+- core/lock: improve bust_locks
+
+ Prevent try_lock from modifying the lock state when bust_locks is set.
+ unlock will not unlock it in that case, so locks will get taken and
+ never released while bust_locks is set.
+- hw/occ: Log proper SCOM register names
+
+ This patch fixes the logging of incorrect SCOM
+ register names.
+- mambo: Add support for NUMA
+
+ Currently the mambo scripts can do multiple chips, but only the first
+ ever has memory.
+
+ This patch adds support for having memory on each chip, with each
+ appearing as a separate NUMA node. Each node gets MEM_SIZE worth of
+ memory.
+
+ It's opt-in, via ``export MAMBO_NUMA=1``.
+- external/mambo: Switch qtrace command to use plug-ins
+
+ The plug-in seems to be the preferred way to do this now, it works
+ better, and the qtracer emitter seems to generate invalid traces
+ in new mambo versions.
+- asm/head: Loop after attn
+
+ We use the attn instruction to raise an error in early boot if OPAL
+ don't recognise the PVR. It's possible for hostboot to disable the
+ attn instruction before entering OPAL so add an extra busy loop after
+ the attn to prevent attempting to boot on an unknown processor.

+======= ====== ======== ========= ========= ===========
+
+The review count for v5.9 is largely bogus, there was a series of 25 whitespace
+patches that got "Reviewed-by" and if we exclude them, we're back to 14%,
+which is more like what I'd expect.
+
+For 5.10, We've seen an increase in Reviewed-by from 5.9, back to closer to
+5.8 levels. I'm hoping we can keep the ~20% up.
+
+Initially I was really pleased with the increase in Tested-by, but with closer
+examination, 17 of those are actually from various automated testing on
+commits to code we bring in from hostboot/other firmware components. When
+you exclude them, we're back down to 2% getting Tested-by, which isn't great.
