ROCm™ 6.1.1 introduces minor fixes and improvements to some tools and libraries.

## OS support

* ROCm 6.1.1 now supports Oracle Linux. It has been tested against version 8.9 (kernel 5.15.0-205) with AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators.

* ROCm 6.1.1 has been tested against a pre-release version of Ubuntu 22.04.5 (kernel: 5.15 [GA], 6.8 [HWE]).

## AMD SMI

AMD SMI for ROCm 6.1.1

### Additions

- Added deferred error correctable counts to `amd-smi metric -ecc -ecc-blocks`.

### Changes

- Updated the output of `amd-smi metric --ecc-blocks` to show counters available from blocks.
- Updated the output of `amd-smi metric --clock` to reflect each engine.
- Updated the output of `amd-smi topology --json` to align with output reported by host and guest systems.

### Fixes

- Fixed `amd-smi metric --clock`'s clock lock and deep sleep status.
- Fixed an issue that would cause an error when resetting non-AMD GPUs.
- Fixed `amd-smi metric --pcie` and `amdsmi_get_pcie_info()` when using RDNA3 (Navi 32 and Navi 31) hardware to prevent "UNKNOWN" reports.
- Fixed the output results of `amd-smi process` when getting processes running on a device.

### Removals

- Removed the `amdsmi_get_gpu_process_info` API from the Python library. It was removed from the C library in an earlier release.

### Known issues

- `amd-smi bad-pages` can result in a `ValueError: Null pointer access` error when using some PMU firmware versions.

See the [detailed changelog](https://github.com/ROCm/amdsmi/blob/docs/6.1.1/CHANGELOG.md) with code samples for more information.

## HIPCC

HIPCC for ROCm 6.1.1

### Changes

- **Upcoming:** a future release will enable use of compiled binaries `hipcc.bin` and `hipconfig.bin` by default. No action is needed by users. You can continue calling high-level Perl scripts `hipcc` and `hipconfig`. `hipcc.bin` and `hipconfig.bin` will be invoked by the high-level Perl scripts. To revert to the previous behavior and invoke `hipcc.pl` and `hipconfig.pl`, set the `HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS` environment variable to `1`.
- **Upcoming:** a subsequent release will remove high-level Perl scripts `hipcc` and `hipconfig`. This release will remove the `HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS` environment variable. It will rename `hipcc.bin` and `hipconfig.bin` to `hipcc` and `hipconfig` respectively. No action is needed by the users. To revert to the previous behavior, invoke `hipcc.pl` and `hipconfig.pl` explicitly.
- **Upcoming:** a subsequent release will remove `hipcc.pl` and `hipconfig.pl`.

## ROCm SMI

ROCm SMI for ROCm 6.1.1

### Additions

* Added the capability to unlock mutex when a process is dead. Added related debug output.
* Added the `Partition ID` field to the `rocm-smi` CLI.
* Added `NODE`, `GUID`, and `GFX Version` fields to the CLI.
* Documentation now includes C++ and Python tutorials, API guides, and reference material.

### Changes

* Some `rocm-smi` fields now display `N/A` instead of `unknown/unsupported` for consistency.
* Changed stacked ID formatting in the `rocm-smi` CLI to make it easier to spot identifiers.

### Fixes

* Fixed HIP and ROCm SMI mismatch on GPU bus assignments.
* Fixed memory leaks caused by not closing directories and creating maps nodes instead of using `.at()`.
* Fixed initializing calls which reuse `rocmsmi.initializeRsmi()` bindings in the `rocmsmi` Python API.
* Fixed an issue causing `rsmi_dev_activity_metric_get` gfx/memory to not update with GPU activity.

### Known issues

- ROCm SMI reports GPU utilization incorrectly for RDNA3 GPUs in some situations. See the issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/3112).
