<span id="id1"></span><h1>skiboot-5.1.13<a class="headerlink" href="#skiboot-5-1-13" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>skiboot-5.1.13 was released on Wed January 27th, 2016.</p>
<p>skiboot-5.1.13 is the 14th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.12
(which was released December 4th, 2015). This release contains bug fixes.</p>
<section id="general">
<h2>General<a class="headerlink" href="#general" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p>core/device.c: Sort nodes with <a class="reference external" href="mailto:name&#37;&#52;&#48;unit">name<span>&#64;</span>unit</a> names by unit</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>This gives predictable device tree ordering to the payload
(usually petitboot)</p></li>
<li><p>This means that utilities such as “lspci” will always return the same
ordering.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li><p>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.</p></li>

<h2>gard utility<a class="headerlink" href="#gard-utility" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Fix displaying ‘cleared’ gard records
When a garded component is replaced hostboot detects this and updates the
gard partition.</p>
<p>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.</p>
