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 + |
