It is the first +release of skiboot 5.11, which is now the new stable release +of skiboot following the 5.10 release, first released February 23rd 2018. + +It is *not* expected to keep the 5.11 branch around for long, and instead +quickly move onto a 6.0, which will mark the basis for op-build v2.0 and +will be required for POWER9 systems. + +It is expected that skiboot 6.0 will follow very shortly. Consider 5.11 +more of a beta release to 6.0 than anything. For POWER9 systems it should +certainly be more solid than previous releases though. + +skiboot v5.11 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.10.4` +and :ref:`skiboot-5.4.9` (the currently maintained stable releases). There +may be more 5.10.x stable releases, it will depend on demand. + +For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details. + +Over skiboot-5.10, we have the following changes: + +New Platforms +------------- + +- Add VESNIN platform support + + The Vesnin platform from YADRO is a 4 socked POWER8 system with up to 8TB + of memory with 460GB/s of memory bandwidth in only 2U. Many kudos to the + team from Yadro for submitting their code upstream! + +New Features +------------ + +- fast-reboot: enable by default for POWER9 + + - Fast reboot is disabled if NPU2 is present or CAPI2/OpenCAPI is used + +- PCI tunneled operations on PHB4 + + - phb4: set PBCQ Tunnel BAR for tunneled operations + + P9 supports PCI tunneled operations (atomics and as_notify) that are + initiated by devices. + + A subset of the tunneled operations require a response, that must be + sent back from the host to the device. For example, an atomic compare + and swap will return the compare status, as swap will only performed + in case of success. Similarly, as_notify reports if the target thread + has been woken up or not, because the operation may fail. + + To enable tunneled operations, a device driver must tell the host where + it expects tunneled operation responses, by setting the PBCQ Tunnel BAR + Response register with a specific value within the range of its BARs. + + This register is currently initialized by enable_capi_mode(). But, as + tunneled operations may also operate in PCI mode, a new API is required + to set the PBCQ Tunnel BAR Response register, without switching to CAPI + mode. + + This patch provides two new OPAL calls to get/set the PBCQ Tunnel + BAR Response register. + + Note: as there is only one PBCQ Tunnel BAR register, shared between + all the devices connected to the same PHB, only one of these devices + will be able to use tunneled operations, at any time. + - phb4: set PHB CMPM registers for tunneled operations + + P9 supports PCI tunneled operations (atomics and as_notify) that require + setting the PHB ASN Compare/Mask register with a 16-bit indication. + + This register is currently initialized by enable_capi_mode(). But, as + tunneled operations may also work in PCI mode, the ASN Compare/Mask + register should rather be initialized in phb4_init_ioda3(). + + This patch also adds "ibm,phb-indications" to the device tree, to tell + Linux the values of CAPI, ASN, and NBW indications, when supported. + + Tunneled operations tested by IBM in CAPI mode, by Mellanox Technologies + in PCI mode. + +- Tie tm-suspend fw-feature and opal_reinit_cpus() together + + Currently opal_reinit_cpus(OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED) + always returns OPAL_UNSUPPORTED. + + This ties the tm suspend fw-feature to the + opal_reinit_cpus(OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED) so that when tm + suspend is disabled, we correctly report it to the kernel. For + backwards compatibility, it's assumed tm suspend is available if the + fw-feature is not present. + + Currently hostboot will clear fw-feature(TM_SUSPEND_ENABLED) on P9N + DD2.1. P9N DD2.2 will set fw-feature(TM_SUSPEND_ENABLED). DD2.0 and + below has TM disabled completely (not just suspend). + + We are using opal_reinit_cpus() to determine this setting (rather than + the device tree/HDAT) as some future firmware may let us change this + dynamically after boot. That is not the case currently though. + +Power Management +---------------- + +- SLW: Increase stop4-5 residency by 10x + + Using DGEMM benchmark we observed there was a drop of 5-9% throughput with + and without stop4/5. In this benchmark the GPU waits on the cpu to wakeup + and provide the subsequent data block to compute. The wakup latency + accumulates over the run and shows up as a performance drop. + + Linux enters stop4/5 more aggressively for its wakeup latency. Increasing + the residency from 1ms to 10ms makes the performance drop <1% +- occ: Set up OCC messaging even if we fail to setup pstates + + This means that we no longer hit this bug if we fail to get valid pstates + from the OCC. :: + + [console-pexpect]#echo 1 > //sys/firmware/opal/sensor_groups//occ-csm0/clear + echo 1 > //sys/firmware/opal/sensor_groups//occ-csm0/clear + [ 94.019971181,5] CPU ATTEMPT TO RE-ENTER FIRMWARE!

Skiboot cannot possibly spin for + 70 seconds waiting for a BMC to come back. This also makes the current + default of 30 seconds a bit pointless, is it far too short to be a + worse case wait time but too long to avoid hitting hardlockup detectors + and wrecking havoc inside host linux. + + Just change it to three seconds so that host linux will survive and + that, reads and writes will fail but at least the host stays up. + + Also refactored the waiting loop just a bit so that it's easier to read. +- mbox: Harden against BMC daemon errors + + Bugs present in the BMC daemon mean that skiboot gets presented with + mbox windows of size zero. These windows cannot be valid and skiboot + already detects these conditions. + + Currently skiboot warns quite strongly about the occurrence of these + problems. The problem for skiboot is that it doesn't take any action. + Initially I wanting to avoid putting policy like this into skiboot but + since these bugs aren't going away and skiboot barfing is leading to + lockups and ultimately the host going down something needs to be done. + + I propose that when we detect the problem we fail the mbox call and punt + the problem back up to Linux. I don't like it but at least it will cause + errors to cascade and won't bring the host down. I'm not sure how Linux + is supposed to detect this or what it can even do but this is better + than a crash. + + Diagnosing a failure to boot if skiboot its self fails to read flash may + be marginally more difficult with this patch. This is because skiboot + will now only print one warning about the zero sized window rather than + continuously spitting it out. + +Fast Reboot Improvements +------------------------ + +Around fast-reboot we have made several improvements to harden the fast +reboot code paths and resort to a full IPL if something doesn't look right. + +- core/fast-reboot: zero memory after fast reboot + + This improves the security and predictability of the fast reboot + environment. + + There can not be a secure fence between fast reboots, because a + malicious OS can modify the firmware itself. However a well-behaved + OS can have a reasonable expectation that OS memory regions it has + modified will be cleared upon fast reboot. + + The memory is zeroed after all other CPUs come up from fast reboot, + just before the new kernel is loaded and booted into. This allows + image preloading to run concurrently, and will allow parallelisation + of the clearing in future. +- core/fast-reboot: verify mem regions before fast reboot + + Run the mem_region sanity checkers before proceeding with fast + reboot. + + This is the beginning of proactive sanity checks on opal data + for fast reboot (with complements the reactive disable_fast_reboot + cases). This is encouraged to re-use and share any kind of debug + code and unit test code. +- fast-reboot: occ: Only delete /ibm, opal/power-mgt nodes if they exist +- core/fast-reboot: disable fast reboot upon fundamental entry/exit/locking errors + + This disables fast reboot in several more cases where serious errors + like lock corruption or call re-entrancy are detected. +- capp: Disable fast-reboot whenever enable_capi_mode() is called + + This patch updates phb4_set_capi_mode() to disable fast-reboot + whenever enable_capi_mode() is called, irrespective to its return + value. This should prevent against a possibility of not disabling + fast-reboot when some changes to enable_capi_mode() causing return of + an error and leaving CAPP in enabled mode. +- fast-reboot: occ: Delete OCC child nodes in /ibm, opal/power-mgt + + Fast-reboot in P8 fails to re-init OCC data as there are chipwise OCC + nodes which are already present in the /ibm,opal/power-mgt node. These + per-chip nodes hold the voltage IDs for each pstate and these can be + changed on OCC pstate table biasing. So delete these before calling + the re-init code to re-parse and populate the pstate data. + +Debugging/SRESET improvemens +---------------------------- + +Since :ref:`skiboot-5.11-rc1`: + +- core/cpu: Prevent clobbering of stack guard for boot-cpu + + Commit 90d53934c2da ("core/cpu: discover stack region size before + initialising memory regions") introduced memzero for struct cpu_thread + in init_cpu_thread().

Sreset other CPUs, use the console, which allows xmon to work or + stack traces to be printed, reboot the system. + + Use OPAL_INTERNAL_ERROR when rejecting, rather than OPAL_BUSY, which is + used for many other things that does not mean a serious permanent error. +- core/opal: abort in case of re-entrant OPAL call + + The stack is already destroyed by the time we get here, so there + is not much point continuing. +- core/lock: Add lock timeout warnings + + There are currently no timeout warnings for locks in skiboot. We assume + that the lock will eventually become free, which may not always be the + case. + + This patch adds timeout warnings for locks. Any lock which spins for more + than 5 seconds will throw a warning and stacktrace for that thread. This is + useful for debugging siturations where a lock which hang, waiting for the + lock to be freed. +- core/lock: Add deadlock detection + + This adds simple deadlock detection. The detection looks for circular + dependencies in the lock requests. It will abort and display a stack trace + when a deadlock occurs. + The detection is enabled by DEBUG_LOCKS (enabled by default). + While the detection may have a slight performance overhead, as there are + not a huge number of locks in skiboot this overhead isn't significant. +- core/hmi: report processor recovery reason from core FIR bits on P9 + + When an error is encountered that causes processor recovery, HMI is + generated if the recovery was successful. The reason is recorded in + the core FIR, which gets copied into the WOF. + + In this case dump the WOF register and an error string into the OPAL + msglog. + + A broken init setting led to HMIs reported in Linux as: :: + + [ 3.591547] Harmless Hypervisor Maintenance interrupt [Recovered] + [ 3.591648] Error detail: Processor Recovery done + [ 3.591714] HMER: 2040000000000000 + + This patch would have been useful because it tells us exactly that + the problem is in the d-side ERAT: :: + + [ 414.489690798,7] HMI: Received HMI interrupt: HMER = 0x2040000000000000 + [ 414.489693339,7] HMI: [Loc: UOPWR.0000000-Node0-Proc0]: P:0 C:1 T:1: Processor recovery occurred. + [ 414.489699837,7] HMI: Core WOF = 0x0000000410000000 recovered error: + [ 414.489701543,7] HMI: LSU - SRAM (DCACHE parity, etc) + [ 414.489702341,7] HMI: LSU - ERAT multi hit + + In future it will be good to unify this reporting, so Linux could + print something more useful.

Add them to our device initialization. + + File these under things that need to be cleaned up with nice #defines + for the register names and bitfields when we get time. + + A few of the settings are dependent on the system's particular NVLink + topology, so introduce a helper to determine how many links go to a + single GPU. +- hw/npu2: Assign a unique LPARSHORTID per GPU + + This gets used elsewhere to index items in the XTS tables. +- NPU2: dump NPU2 registers on npu2 HMI + + Due to the nature of debugging npu2 issues, folk are wanting the + full list of NPU2 registers dumped when there's a problem. +- npu2: Remove DD1 support + + Major changes in the NPU between DD1 and DD2 necessitated a fair bit of + revision-specific code. + + Now that all our lab machines are DD2, we no longer test anything on DD1 + and it's time to get rid of it. + + Remove DD1-specific code and abort probe if we're running on a DD1 machine. +- npu2: Disable fast reboot + + Fast reboot does not yet work right with the NPU. It's been disabled on + NVLink and OpenCAPI machines. Do the same for NVLink2. + + This amounts to a port of 3e4577939bbf ("npu: Fix broken fast reset") + from the npu code to npu2. +- npu2: Use unfiltered mode in XTS tables + + The XTS_PID context table is limited to 256 possible pids/contexts. To + relieve this limitation, make use of "unfiltered mode" instead. + + If an entry in the XTS_BDF table has the bit for unfiltered mode set, we + can just use one context for that entire bdf/lpar, regardless of pid. + Instead of of searching the XTS_PID table, the NMMU checkout request + will simply use the entry indexed by lparshort id instead. + + Change opal_npu_init_context() to create these lparshort-indexed + wildcard entries (0-15) instead of allocating one for each pid. Check + that multiple calls for the same bdf all specify the same msr value. + + In opal_npu_destroy_context(), continue validating the bdf argument, + ensuring that it actually maps to an lpar, but no longer remove anything + from the XTS_PID table. If/when we start supporting virtualized GPUs, we + might consider actually removing these wildcard entries by keeping a + refcount, but keep things simple for now. + +CAPI/OpenCAPI +------------- + +Since :ref:`skiboot-5.11-rc1`: + +- capi: Poll Err/Status register during CAPP recovery + + This patch updates do_capp_recovery_scoms() to poll the CAPP + Err/Status control register, check for CAPP-Recovery to complete/fail + based on indications of BITS-1,5,9 and then proceed with the + CAPP-Recovery scoms iif recovery completed successfully. This would + prevent cases where we bring-up the PCIe link while recovery sequencer + on CAPP is still busy with casting out cache lines. + + In case CAPP-Recovery didn't complete successfully an error is returned + from do_capp_recovery_scoms() asking phb4_creset() to keep the phb4 + fenced and mark it as broken. + + The loop that implements polling of Err/Status register will also log + an error on the PHB when it continues for more than 168ms which is the + max time to failure for CAPP-Recovery. + +Since :ref:`skiboot-5.10`: + +- npu2-opencapi: Add OpenCAPI OPAL API calls + + Add three OPAL API calls that are required by the ocxl driver. + + - OPAL_NPU_SPA_SETUP + + The Shared Process Area (SPA) is a table containing one entry (a + "Process Element") per memory context which can be accessed by the + OpenCAPI device. + + - OPAL_NPU_SPA_CLEAR_CACHE + + The NPU keeps a cache of recently accessed memory contexts. When a + Process Element is removed from the SPA, the cache for the link must be + cleared. + + - OPAL_NPU_TL_SET + + The Transaction Layer specification defines several templates for + messages to be exchanged on the link. During link setup, the host and + device must negotiate what templates are supported on both sides and at + what rates those messages can be sent. +- npu2-opencapi: Train OpenCAPI links and setup devices + + Scan the OpenCAPI links under the NPU, and for each link, reset the card, + set up a device, train the link and register a PHB. + + Implement the necessary operations for the OpenCAPI PHB type. + + For bringup, test and debug purposes, we allow an NVRAM setting, + "opencapi-link-training" that can be set to either disable link training + completely or to use the prbs31 test pattern. + + To disable link training: :: + + nvram -p ibm,skiboot --update-config opencapi-link-training=none + + To use prbs31: :: + + nvram -p ibm,skiboot --update-config opencapi-link-training=prbs31 +- npu2-hw-procedures: Add support for OpenCAPI PHY link training + + Unlike NVLink, which uses the pci-virt framework to fake a PCI + configuration space for NVLink devices, the OpenCAPI device model presents + us with a real configuration space handled by the device over the OpenCAPI + link. + + As a result, we have to train the OpenCAPI link in skiboot before we do PCI + probing, so that config space can be accessed, rather than having link + training being triggered by the Linux driver. +- npu2-opencapi: Configure NPU for OpenCAPI + + Scan the device tree for NPUs with OpenCAPI links and configure the NPU per + the initialisation sequence in the NPU OpenCAPI workbook. +- capp: Make error in capp timebase sync a non-fatal error + + Presently when we encounter an error while synchronizing capp timebase + with chip-tod at the end of enable_capi_mode() we return an + error. This has an to unintended consequences. First this will prevent + disabling of fast-reboot even though CAPP is already enabled by this + point. Secondly, failure during timebase sync is a non fatal error or + capp initialization as CAPP/PSL can continue working after this and an + AFU will only see an error when it tries to read the timebase value + from PSL. + + So this patch updates enable_capi_mode() to not return an error in + case call to chiptod_capp_timebase_sync() fails. The function will now + just log an error and continue further with capp init sequence. This + make the current implementation align with the one in kernel 'cxl' + driver which also assumes the PSL timebase sync errors as non-fatal + init error. +- npu2-opencapi: Fix assert on link reset during init + + We don't support resetting an opencapi link yet. + + Commit fe6d86b9 ("pci: Make fast reboot creset PHBs in parallel") + tries resetting any PHB whose slot defines a 'run_sm' callback. It + raises an assert when applied to an opencapi PHB, as 'run_sm' calls + the 'freset' callback, which is not yet defined for opencapi. + + Fix it for now by removing the currently useless definition of + 'run_sm' on the opencapi slot. It will print a message in the skiboot + log because the PHB cannot be reset, which is correct. It will all go + away when we add support for resetting an opencapi link. +- capp: Add lid definition for P9 DD-2.2 + + Update fsp_lid_map to include CAPP ucode lid for phb4-chipid == + 0x202d1 that corresponds to P9 DD-2.2 chip. +- capp: Disable fast-reboot when capp is enabled + + +PCI +--- + +Since :ref:`skiboot-5.11-rc1`: + +- phb4: Reset FIR/NFIR registers before PHB4 probe + + The function phb4_probe_stack() resets "ETU Reset Register" to + unfreeze the PHB before it performs mmio access on the PHB.
