I have identified a bug in IPMI Tool and have subsequently created a patch for it. I would like to apply for this fix/patch.
Issue: When using the "ipmitool fru" command, one of the fields displayed is the "Board Mfg Date". This date is computed by taking the timestamp in the FRU, which is based off of 1/1/1996 0:0:0 and adding the delta time from 1/1/1970 0:0:0 to 1/1/1996 0:0:0 so that it can be interpreted by Linux time. This delta time is a hard-coded constant in ipmi_fru.h (secs_from_1970_1996). This constant is incorrect. Currently it is set to 820450800. The correct delta from those two dates should be 820454400. This is resulting in a "Board Mfg Date" that is actually 1 hour earlier than what it should be. The patch corrects this constant in ipmi_fru.h. I've attached the patch for this (for the latest ipmitool-1.8.11) to this email. I am requesting approval for this fix. Please advise me on how to proceed. Thank you, Renzo Hayashi Intel Corporation
