> Reason for these changes
> The cache properties for AMD family of processors have changed from
> previous releases. We don't want to display the new information on the
> old family of processors as this might cause compatibility issues.
>
> Changes:
> 1. Based the patches on top of Eduardo's(patch#1) patch.
> Changed few things.
> Moved the Cache definitions to cpu.h file.
> Changed the CPUID_4 names to generic names.
> 2. Added a new propery "legacy-cache" in cpu object(patch#2). This can be
> used to display the old property even if the host supports the new cache
> properties.
> 3. Added cache information in X86CPUDefinition and CPUX86State
> 4. Patch 6-7 changed quite a bit from previous version does to new approach.
> 5. Addressed few issues with CPUID_8000_001d and CPUID_8000_001E.
>
>
> v4:
> 1.Removed the checks under cpuid 0x8000001D leaf(patch #2). These check
> are
> not necessary. Found this during internal review.
> 2.Added CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT feature for all the 17 family(patch #4). This
> was
> found by Kash Pande during his testing.
> 3.Removed th hardcoded cpuid xlevel and dynamically extended if
> CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT
> is supported(Suggested by Brijesh Singh).
>
> v3:
> 1.Removed the patch #1. Radim mentioned that original typo problem is in
> linux kernel header. qemu is just copying those files.
> 2.In previous version, I used the cpuid 4 definitions for AMDs cpuid leaf
> 0x8000001D. CPUID 4 is very intel specific and we dont want to expose those
> details under AMD. I have renamed some of these definitions as generic.
> These changes are in patch#1. Radim, let me know if this is what you
> intended.
> 3.Added assert to for core_id(Suggested by Radim Krčmář).
> 4.Changed the if condition under "L3 cache info"(Suggested by Gary Hook).
> 5.Addressed few more text correction and code cleanup(Suggested by
> Thomas Lendacky).
>
> v2:
> Fixed few more minor issues per Gary Hook's comments. Thank you Gary.
> Removed the patch#1. We need to handle the instruction cache
> associativity
> seperately. It varies based on the cpu family. I will comeback to that later.
> Added two more typo corrections in patch#1 and patch#5.
>
> v1:
> Stanislav Lanci posted few patches earlier.
> https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10040903/
>
> Rebased his patches with few changes.
> 1.Spit the patches into two, separating cpuid functions
> 0x8000001D and 0x8000001E (Patch 2 and 3).
> 2.Removed the generic non-intel check and made a separate patch
> with some changes(Patch 5).
> 3.Fixed L3_N_SETS_AMD(from 4096 to 8192) based on
> CPUID_Fn8000001D_ECX_x03.
>
> Added 2 more patches.
> Patch 1. Fixes cache associativity.
> Patch 4. Adds TOPOEXT feature on AMD EPYC CPU.
