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 + +- xscom: Return OPAL_WRONG_STATE on XSCOM ops if CPU is asleep + + +Contributors +------------ + +Processed 15 csets from 7 developers +A total of 436 lines added, 59 removed (delta 377) + +Developers with the most changesets + +============================ ========== +============================ ========== +Russell Currey 7 (46.7%) +Alistair Popple 2 (13.3%) +Michael Neuling 2 (13.3%) +Patrick Williams 1 (6.7%) +Stewart Smith 1 (6.7%) +Mamatha 1 (6.7%) +Mahesh Salgaonkar 1 (6.7%) +============================ ========== + +Developers with the most changed lines + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Alistair Popple 215 (48.3%) +Russell Currey 140 (31.5%) +Michael Neuling 55 (12.4%) +Mamatha 15 (3.4%) +Patrick Williams 9 (2.0%) +Mahesh Salgaonkar 8 (1.8%) +Stewart Smith 3 (0.7%) +========================== ============ + +Developers with the most lines removed + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Patrick Williams 5 (8.5%) +========================== ============ + +Developers with the most signoffs (total 30) + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Stewart Smith 15 (50.0%) +Russell Currey 7 (23.3%) +Michael Neuling 2 (6.7%) +Alistair Popple 2 (6.7%) +Patrick Williams 1 (3.3%) +Oliver O'Halloran 1 (3.3%) +Mahesh Salgaonkar 1 (3.3%) +Mamatha 1 (3.3%) +========================== ============ + +Developers with the most reviews (total 11) + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Alistair Popple 5 (45.5%) +Andrew Donnellan 3 (27.3%) +Mahesh Salgaonkar 2 (18.2%) +Joel Stanley 1 (9.1%) +========================== ============ + +Developers with the most Acked-by (total 1) + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Alistair Popple 1 (100.0%) +========================== ============ + +Developers with the most test credits (total 3) + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Andrew Donnellan 2 (66.7%) +Vaibhav Jain 1 (33.3%) +========================== ============ + +Developers who received the most tested-by credits (total 3) + +========================== ============ +========================== ============ +Michael Neuling 3 (100.0%) +========================== ============ |
