<h1>skiboot-5.2.1<a class="headerlink" href="#skiboot-5-2-1" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>skiboot-5.2.1 was released on Wednesday April 27th, 2016.</p>
<p>skiboot-5.2.1 is the second stable release of skiboot 5.2, the new stable
release of skiboot, which will take over from the 5.1.x series which was
first released August 17th, 2015.</p>
<p>skiboot-5.2.1 contains all bug fixes as of skiboot-5.1.15.</p>
<p>This is the second release that will follow the (now documented) Skiboot
stable rules - see <a class="reference internal" href="../process/stable-skiboot-rules.html#stable-rules"><span class="std std-ref">Skiboot stable tree rules and releases</span></a>.</p>

<h3>PHB3 (all POWER8 platforms)<a class="headerlink" href="#phb3-all-power8-platforms" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p>hw/phb3: Ensure PQ bits are cleared in the IVC when masking IRQ
When we mask an interrupt, we may race with another interrupt coming
in from the hardware.  If this occurs, the P and/or Q bit may end up
being set but we never EOI/clear them.  This could result in a lost
interrupt or the next interrupt that comes in after re-enabling never
being presented.</p>
<p>This fixes a bug seen with some CAPI workloads which have lots of
interrupt masking at the same time as high interrupt load.  The fix is
not specific to CAPI though.</p>
</li>
<li><p>hw/phb3: Fix potential race in EOI
When we EOI we need to clear the present (P) bit in the Interrupt
Vector Cache (IVC).  We must clear P ensuring that any additional
interrupts that come in aren’t lost while also maintaining coherency
with the Interrupt Vector Table (IVT).</p>
<p>To do this, the hardware provides a conditional update bit in the
IVC. This bit ensures that generation counts between the IVT and the
IVC updates are synchronised.</p>
<p>Unfortunately we never set this the bit to conditionally update the P
bit in the IVC based on the generation count.  Also, we didn’t set
what we wanted the new generation count to be if the update was
successful.</p>
