<span id="id1"></span><h1>skiboot-6.0.5<a class="headerlink" href="#skiboot-6-0-5" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>skiboot 6.0.5 was released on Wednesday July 11th, 2018. It replaces
<a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-6.0.4.html#skiboot-6-0-4"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-6.0.4</span></a> as the current stable release in the 6.0.x series.</p>
<p>It is recommended that 6.0.5 be used instead of any previous 6.0.x version.</p>
<p>Over <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-6.0.4.html#skiboot-6-0-4"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-6.0.4</span></a> we have several bug fixes, including important ones
for NVLINK2 and NX.</p>
<div class="section" id="pci-phb4">
<h2>PCI/PHB4<a class="headerlink" href="#pci-phb4" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">phb4: Delay training till after PERST is deasserted</p>
<p>This helps some cards train on the second PERST (ie fast-reboot). The
reason is not clear why but it helps, so YOLO!</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">pci: Fix PCI_DEVICE_ID()</p>
<p>The vendor ID is 16 bits not 8. This error leaves the top of the vendor
ID in the bottom bits of the device ID, which resulted in e.g. a failure
to run the PCI quirk for the AST VGA device.</p>
<p>Fixes: 2b841bf0ef1b (present in v5.7-rc1)</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="phb4-capi">
<h2>PHB4/CAPI<a class="headerlink" href="#phb4-capi" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">phb4/capp: Calculate STQ/DMA read engines based on link-width for PEC</p>
<p>Presently in CAPI mode the number of STQ/DMA-read engines allocated on
PEC2 for CAPP is fixed to 6 and 0-30 respectively irrespective of the
PCI link width. These values are only suitable for x8 cards and
quickly run out if a x16 card is plugged to a PEC2 attached slot. This
usually manifests as CAPP reporting TLBI timeout due to these messages
getting stalled due to insufficient STQs.</p>
<p>To fix this we update enable_capi_mode() to check if PEC2 chiplet is
in x16 mode and if yes then we allocate 4/0-47 STQ/DMA-read engines
for the CAPP traffic.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">capi: Select the correct IODA table entry for the mbt cache.</p>
<p>With the current code, the capi mmio window is not correctly configured
in the IODA table entry. The first entry (generally the non-prefetchable
BAR) is overwrriten.
This patch sets the capi window bar at the right place.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="sensors">
<h2>Sensors<a class="headerlink" href="#sensors" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">occ: sensors: Fix the size of the phandle array ‘sensors’ in DT</p>
<p>Fixes: 99505c03f493 (present in v5.10-rc4)</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="npu2-nvlink2">
<h2>NPU2/NVLINK2<a class="headerlink" href="#npu2-nvlink2" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">npu2/hw-procedures: Fence bricks via NTL instead of MISC</p>
<p>There are a couple of places we can set/unset fence for a brick:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>MISC register: NPU2_MISC_FENCE_STATE</li>
<li>NTL register for the brick: NPU2_NTL_MISC_CFG1(ndev)</li>
</ol>
<p>Recent testing of ATS in combination with GPU reset has exposed a side
effect of using (1); if fence is set for all six bricks, it triggers a
sticky nmmu latch which prevents the NPU from getting ATR responses.
This manifests as a hang in the tests.</p>
<p>We have npu2_dev_fence_brick() which uses (1), and only two calls to it.
Replace the call which sets fence with a write to (2). Remove the
corresponding unset call entirely. It’s unneeded because the procedures
already do a progression from full fence to half to idle using (2).</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">opal/hmi: Display correct chip id while printing NPU FIRs.</p>
<p>HMIs for NPU xstops are broadcasted to all chips. All cores on all the
chips receive HMI. HMI handler correctly identifies and extracts the
NPU FIR details from affected chip, but while printing FIR data it
prints chip id and location code details of this_cpu()-&gt;chip_id which
may not be correct. This patch fixes this issue.</p>
<p>Fixes: 7bcbc78c (present in v6.0.1)</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="vpd">
<h2>VPD<a class="headerlink" href="#vpd" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">vpd: Add vendor property to processor node</p>
<p>Processor FRU vpd doesn’t contain vendor detail. We have to parse
module VPD to get vendor detail.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">vpd: Sanitize VPD data</p>
<p>On OpenPower system, VPD keyword size tells us the maximum size of the data.
But they fill trailing end with space (0x20) instead of NULL. Also spec
doesn’t stop user to have space (0x20) within actual data.</p>
<p>This patch discards trailing spaces before populating device tree.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="nx-vas-for-power9">
<h2>NX/VAS for POWER9<a class="headerlink" href="#nx-vas-for-power9" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">NX: Add NX coprocessor init opal call</p>
<p>The read offset (4:11) in Receive FIFO control register is incremented
by FIFO size whenever CRB read by NX. But the index in RxFIFO has to
match with the corresponding entry in FIFO maintained by VAS in kernel.
VAS entry is reset to 0 when opening the receive window during driver
initialization. So when NX842 is reloaded or in kexec boot, possibility
of mismatch between RxFIFO control register and VAS entries in kernel.
It could cause CRB failure / timeout from NX.</p>
<p>This patch adds nx_coproc_init opal call for kernel to initialize
readOffset (4:11) and Queued (15:23) in RxFIFO control register.</p>
<p>Fixes: 3b3c5962f432 (present in v5.8-rc1)</p>
