Chapter 28. Hardware Enablement The lsslot -cpci command now correctly reports PCI slot types Prior to this update, the lsslot -cpci command reported PCI slot types as <literal>Unknown slot type</literal>. With this update, the bug has been fixed, and lsslot utility reports PCI slot types correctly. (BZ#1592429) The drmgr -C command now loads the rpadlpar_io kernel module Previously, the drmgr -C command did not select hotplug types. As a consequence, the rpadlpar_io kernel module was loaded only when one of the following hotplug types was explicitly selected: pci , phb or slot . With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed, and the command drmgr -C now loads rpadlpar_io . (BZ#1540067) Diagnostic utilities now display CPU frequency values correctly Due to a delay in the CPU cycle counter, diagnostic utilites, such as lscpu , in some cases reported an incorrect CPU frequency value. With this update, the affected utilities display correct values and report an error if the accurate value currently cannot be detected. (BZ#1596121) The ppc64_cpu utility no longer fails when reading CPU frequency Previously, the ppc64_cpu utility failed when reading CPU frequency. With this update, a thread is created for each of the CPUs if the number of CPUs in the system is less than CPU_SETSIZE, or only CPU_SETSIZE threads are created. As a result, the described problem no longer occurs, and ppc64_cpu no longer fails. (BZ#1628907)
