+From c2b2d20fdf36bff21577ca6ed6703395ebad8971 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Olsen <cmolsen@us.ibm.com>
+Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2019 08:53:07 -0400
+Subject: [PATCH] TOR API : Refactoring, traversal and buffer check
+ improvements
+
+Changes made:
+- Introduced two new internal functions: _tor_access_ring()
+  and _tor_header_check().
+- Updated tor_append_ring() to pass a max ringSectionSize arg to be
+  checked for overflow in the new _tor_access_ring() function.
+- Moved the actual appending/updating of RS4 rings out of
+  tor_append_ring() into _tor_access_ring().
+- Removed tor_access_ring().
+- All TOR chiplet and ring offsets are now referenced wrt to the
+  ringSection origin (ie, where the TOR header starts).
+- Updated TOR_VERSION to v2.
+- Refactoring of various TOR APIs to use the above changes.
+- Updates to ring_apply, ipl_customize and qme_customize to support
+  the new tor_append_ring() API.
+- Updates to Sbe and Qme TOR traversal codes and extract HOMER.
+- Various cleanups in buffer handling in p10_ipl_customize.C.
+- Removed p9_ring_apply.* files (though not at all relevant to this
+  commit)
