+skiboot-5.1.16
+==============
+
+skiboot-5.1.16 was released on Friday April 29th, 2016.
+
+skiboot-5.1.16 is the 17th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.15
+(which was released March 16th, 2016).
+
+This release contains a few bug fixes and is a recommended upgrade.
+
+Changes
+-------
+
+PHB3 (all POWER8 platforms)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- 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.
+
+ 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.
+- 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).
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+FSP platforms
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- OPAL:Handle mbox response with bad status:0x24 during FSP termination
+ OPAL committed a predictive log with SRC BB822411 in some situations.
+
+Generic
+^^^^^^^
+
+- hmi: Fix a bug where partial hmi event was reported to host.
+ This bug fix ensures the CPU PIR is reported correctly: ::
+
+ [ 305.628283] Fatal Hypervisor Maintenance interrupt [Not recovered]
+ [ 305.628341] Error detail: Malfunction Alert
+ [ 305.628388] HMER: 8040000000000000
+ - [ 305.628423] CPU PIR: 00000000
+ + [ 200.123021] CPU PIR: 000008e8
+ [ 305.628458] [Unit: VSU] Logic core check stop
+
