Further, as the phb lock is held + during this function it will prevent any other CPUs from dealing with + the fence, leading to the entire system hanging. + + If the PHB_FFI_LOCK returns all Fs, return immediately to allow the + fence to be dealt with. +- phb3: Continue CAPP setup even if PHB is already in CAPP mode + This fixes a critical bug in CAPI support. +- Platform hook for terminate call + + - on assert() or other firmware failure, we will make a SEL callout + on ASTBMC platforms + - (slight) refactor of code for IBM-FSP platforms + +- refactor slot naming code +- Slot names for Habanero platform +- misc improvements in userspace utilities (incl pflash, gard) +- build improvements + + - fixes for two compiler warnings were squashed in 5.1.1 commit, + re-introduce the fixes. + - misc compiler/static analysis warning fixes + +- gard utility: + + - If gard tool detects the GUARD PNOR partition is corrupted, it will + pro-actively re-initialize it. + Modern Hostboot is more sensitive to the content of the GUARD partition + in order to boot. + - Update record clearing to match Hostboots expectations + We now write ECC bytes throughout the whole partition. + Without this fix, hostboot may not bring up the machine. + - In the event of a corrupted GUARD partition so that even the first entry + cannot be read, the gard utility now provides the user with the option + to wipe the entirety of the GUARD partition to attempt recovery. + +- opal_prd utility: + + - Add run command to pass through commands to HostBoot RunTime (HBRT) + + - this is for OpenPower firmware developers only. + + - Add htmght-passthru command. + + - this is for OpenPower firmware developers only. + + - Add override interface to pass attribute-override information to HBRT. + - Server sends response in error path, so that client doesn't block forever + +- external/mambo tcl scripts + + - Running little-endian kernels in mambo requires HILE to be set properly, + which requires a bump in the machine's pvr value to a DD2.x chip. + +Stats +^^^^^ +For skiboot-5.1.0 to 5.1.2: +Processed 67 csets from 11 developers +1 employers found +A total of 2258 lines added, 784 removed (delta 1474) + +Developers with the most changesets + +=========================== ========== +=========================== ========== +Stewart Smith 24 (35.8%) +Cyril Bur 18 (26.9%) +Vasant Hegde 8 (11.9%) +Neelesh Gupta 5 (7.5%) +Benjamin Herrenschmidt 5 (7.5%) +Daniel Axtens 2 (3.0%) +Samuel Mendoza-Jonas 1 (1.5%) +Vaidyanathan Srinivasan 1 (1.5%) +Vipin K Parashar 1 (1.5%) +Ian Munsie 1 (1.5%) +Michael Neuling 1 (1.5%) +=========================== ========== + +Developers with the most changed lines + +========================== =========== +========================== =========== +Cyril Bur 969 (42.5%) +Neelesh Gupta 433 (19.0%) +Benjamin Herrenschmidt 304 (13.3%) +Vasant Hegde 236 (10.3%) +Stewart Smith 163 (7.1%) +Vaidyanathan Srinivasan 135 (5.9%) +Vipin K Parashar 8 (0.4%) +Ian Munsie 8 (0.4%) +Daniel Axtens 2 (0.1%) +Michael Neuling 2 (0.1%) +Samuel Mendoza-Jonas 1 (0.0%) +========================== =========== + +Developers with the most lines removed + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +Daniel Axtens 2 (0.3%) +Michael Neuling 1 (0.1%) +========================== ========== + +Developers with the most signoffs (total 44) + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +Stewart Smith 43 (97.7%) +Neelesh Gupta 1 (2.3%) +========================== ========== + +Developers with the most reviews (total 8) + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +Patrick Williams 5 (62.5%) +Samuel Mendoza-Jonas 3 (37.5%) +========================== ========== + +Developers with the most test credits (total 0) + +Developers who gave the most tested-by credits (total 0) + +Developers with the most report credits (total 1) + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +Benjamin Herrenschmidt 1 (100.0%) +========================== ========== + +Developers who gave the most report credits (total 1) + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +Samuel Mendoza-Jonas 1 (100.0%) +========================== ========== + +Top changeset contributors by employer + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +IBM 67 (100.0%) +========================== ========== + +Top lines changed by employer + +========================= ========== +========================= ========== +IBM 2281 (100.0%) +========================= ========== + +Employers with the most signoffs (total 44) + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +IBM 44 (100.0%) +========================== ========== + +Employers with the most hackers (total 11) + +========================== ========== +========================== ========== +IBM 11 (100.0%) +========================== ========== |
