Upgrading Power5 from 5.3 to...
I have a power5 that I would like to update and bring everything forward.
I am wondering about trouble-free upgrades. Is it better to go 5.3 -> 7 or 5.3 ->6 ->7?
The power5 box is behind and hopefully can learn from experiences here.
Thanks.

Apologies for this newbie question. We have inherited an IBM p5 520 (9111-520) running AIX 6.1.0.0 which seems to be the base install and no further patches installed.
Is this vulnerable to the Spectre/Meltdown threat?
Are patches available?
Looks like AIX 6.1.0.0 went 'end of support' in... (8 Replies)

XkbComputeShapeBounds(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbComputeShapeBounds(3)
NAME
XkbComputeShapeBounds - Updates the bounding box of a shape
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbComputeShapeBounds (XkbShapePtr shape);
ARGUMENTS
- shape
shape to be examined
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of convenience functions to help use a keyboard geometry. These include functions to return the bounding box of a
shape's top surface and to update the bounding box of a shape row or section.
A shape is made up of a number of outlines. Each outline is a polygon made up of a number of points. The bounding box of a shape is a rec-
tangle that contains all the outlines of that shape.
A ShapeRec contains a BoundsRec that describes the bounds of the shape. If you add or delete an outline to or from a shape, the bounding
box must be updated.
XkbComputeShapeBounds updates the BoundsRec contained in the shape by examining all the outlines of the shape and setting the BoundsRec to
the minimum x and minimum y, and maximum x and maximum y values found in those outlines. XkbComputeShapeBounds returns False if shape is
NULL or if there are no outlines for the shape; otherwise, it returns True.
If you add or delete a key to or from a row, or if you update the shape of one of the keys in that row, you may need to update the bounding
box of that row. To update the bounding box of a row, use XkbComputeRowBounds.
STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbShape {
Atom name; /* shape's name */
unsigned short num_outlines; /* number of outlines for the shape */
unsigned short sz_outlines; /* size of the outlines array */
XkbOutlinePtr outlines; /* array of outlines for the shape */
XkbOutlinePtr approx; /* pointer into the array to the approximating outline */
XkbOutlinePtr primary; /* pointer into the array to the primary outline */
XkbBoundsRec bounds; /* bounding box for the shape; encompasses all outlines */
} XkbShapeRec, *XkbShapePtr;
typedef struct _XkbBounds {
short x1,y1; /* upper left corner of the bounds, in mm/10 */
short x2,y2; /* lower right corner of the bounds, in mm/10 */
} XkbBoundsRec, *XkbBoundsPtr;
