This series enables the TOPOEXT feature for AMD CPUs. This is required to
support hyperthreading on kvm guests.
This addresses the issues reported in these bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1481253
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1703506
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.
