[PATCH v2] i386/cpu: fixup number of addressable IDs for logical processors in the physical package
Posted by Chuang Xu 2 months, 1 week ago 
When QEMU is started with:
-cpu host,migratable=on,host-cache-info=on,l3-cache=off
-smp 180,sockets=2,dies=1,cores=45,threads=2

Execute "cpuid -1 -l 1 -r" in guest, we'll get:
eax=0x000806f8 ebx=0x465a0800 ecx=0xfffaba1f edx=0x3fa9fbff
CPUID.01H.EBX[23:16] is 90, while the expected value is 128.

Execute "cpuid -1 -l 4 -r" in guest, we'll get:
eax=0xfc004121 ebx=0x02c0003f ecx=0x0000003f edx=0x00000000
CPUID.04H.EAX[31:26] is 63, which is as expected.

As (1+CPUID.04H.EAX[31:26]) round up to the nearest power-of-2 integer,
we'd beter round up CPUID.01H.EBX[23:16] to the nearest power-of-2
integer too. Otherwise we may encounter unexpected results in guest.

For example, when QEMU is started with CLI above and xtopology is disabled,
guest kernel 5.15.120 uses CPUID.01H.EBX[23:16]/(1+CPUID.04H.EAX[31:26]) to
calculate threads-per-core in detect_ht(). Then guest will get "90/(1+63)=1"
as the result, even though theads-per-core should actually be 2.

So let us round up CPUID.01H.EBX[23:16] to the nearest power-of-2 integer
to solve the unexpected result.

why not use pow2ceil(threads_per_pkg) instead?

I saw in the latest code that calculations of cpuids involving CPU topology all use topo_info,
so in order to maintain consistency in code style, I also used topo_info for calculation.

and we end up with a zoo of ways different topo stuff is calculated.

Given we already have threads_per_pkg calculated within the function,
is cleaner/more self-documenting to reuse it with pow2ceil() instead of
adding yet another helper with less than obvious '1 << apicid_pkg_offset(topo_info)' math.
