It replaces +:ref:`skiboot-6.0.4` as the current stable release in the 6.0.x series. + +It is recommended that 6.0.5 be used instead of any previous 6.0.x version. + +Over :ref:`skiboot-6.0.4` we have several bug fixes, including important ones +for NVLINK2 and NX. + +PCI/PHB4 +======== + +- phb4: Delay training till after PERST is deasserted + + This helps some cards train on the second PERST (ie fast-reboot). The + reason is not clear why but it helps, so YOLO! +- pci: Fix PCI_DEVICE_ID() + + 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. + + Fixes: 2b841bf0ef1b (present in v5.7-rc1) + +PHB4/CAPI +========= +- phb4/capp: Calculate STQ/DMA read engines based on link-width for PEC + + 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. + + 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. +- capi: Select the correct IODA table entry for the mbt cache. + + 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. + +Sensors +======= + +- occ: sensors: Fix the size of the phandle array 'sensors' in DT + + Fixes: 99505c03f493 (present in v5.10-rc4) + +NPU2/NVLINK2 +============ + +- npu2/hw-procedures: Fence bricks via NTL instead of MISC + + There are a couple of places we can set/unset fence for a brick: + + 1. MISC register: NPU2_MISC_FENCE_STATE + 2. NTL register for the brick: NPU2_NTL_MISC_CFG1(ndev) + + 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. + + 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). +- opal/hmi: Display correct chip id while printing NPU FIRs. + + 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()->chip_id which + may not be correct. This patch fixes this issue. + + Fixes: 7bcbc78c (present in v6.0.1) + +VPD +=== + +- vpd: Add vendor property to processor node + + Processor FRU vpd doesn't contain vendor detail. We have to parse + module VPD to get vendor detail. +- vpd: Sanitize VPD data + + 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. + + This patch discards trailing spaces before populating device tree. + +NX/VAS for POWER9 +================= + +- NX: Add NX coprocessor init opal call + + 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. + + This patch adds nx_coproc_init opal call for kernel to initialize + readOffset (4:11) and Queued (15:23) in RxFIFO control register. + + Fixes: 3b3c5962f432 (present in v5.8-rc1) |
