This release contains bug fixes. + +General: +- core/device.c: Sort nodes with name@unit names by unit + - This gives predictable device tree ordering to the payload + (usually petitboot) + - This means that utilities such as "lspci" will always return the same + ordering. +- Add OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH to the OPAL API + uart consoles only flush output when polled. The Linux kernel calls + these pollers frequently, except when in a panic state. As such, panic + messages are not fully printed unless the system is configured to reboot + after panic. + + This patch adds a new call to the OPAL API to flush the buffer. If the + system has a uart console (i.e. BMC machines), it will incrementally + flush the buffer, returning if there is more to be flushed or not. If + the system has a different console, the function will have no effect. + This will allow the Linux kernel to ensure that panic message have been + fully printed out. + +CAPI: +- hmi: Identify the phb upon CAPI malfunction alert + Previously, any error on a CAPI adapter would assume PHB0. + This could cause issues on Firestone machines. + +gard utility: +- Fix displaying 'cleared' gard records + When a garded component is replaced hostboot detects this and updates the + gard partition. + + Previously, there was ambiguity on if the gard record ID or the whole gard + record needed to be erased. This fix makes gard and hostboot agree. + +firestone platform: +- fix spacing in slot name + The other SlotN names have no space. |
