-AMD CPUID leaf 0x8000'0008 reported number of cores  inconsistent with ACPI.MADT
-
-Setup:
-CPU: AMD EPYC-v2 or host's EPYC cpu
-Linux 64-bit fedora host; Kernel version 5.5.15-200.fc31
-qemu version: self build
-git-head: f3bac27cc1e303e1860cc55b9b6889ba39dee587
-config: Configured with: '../configure' '--target-list=x86_64-softmmu,mips64el-softmmu,mips64-softmmu,mipsel-softmmu,mips-softmmu,i386-softmmu,aarch64-softmmu,arm-softmmu' '--prefix=/opt/qemu-master'

-Cmdline: 
-qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /home/peppelt/code/l4/internal/.build-x86_64/bin/amd64_gen/bootstrap -append "" -initrd "./fiasco/.build-x86_64/fiasco , ... " -serial stdio -nographic -monitor none -nographic -monitor none -cpu EPYC-v2 -m 4G -smp 4

-Issue:
-We are developing an microkernel operating system called L4Re. We recently got an AMD EPYC server for testing and we couldn't execute SMP tests of our system when running Linux + qemu + VM w/ L4Re.
-In fact, the kernel did not recognize any APs at all. On AMD CPUs the kernel checks for the number of cores reported in CPUID leaf 0x8000_0008.ECX[NC] or [ApicIdSize].  [0][1]
-
-The physical machine reports for leaf 0x8000_0008:  EAX: 0x3030 EBX: 0x18cf757 ECX: 0x703f EDX: 0x1000
-The lower four bits of ECX are the [NC] field and all set.
-
-When querying inside qemu with -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 (basically as replacement and addition to the above cmdline) the CPUID leaf shows: EAX: 0x3024, EBX: 0x1001000, ECX: 0x0, EDX: 0x0
-Note, ECX is zero. Indicating that this is no SMP capabale CPU.
-
-I'm debugging it using my local machine and the QEMU provided EPYC-v2 CPU model and it is reproducible there as well and reports:  EAX: 0x3028, EBX: 0x0, ECX: 0x0, EDX: 0x0
-
-I checked other AMD based CPU models (phenom, opteron_g3/g5) and they behave the same. [2] shows the CPUID 0x8000'0008 handling in the QEMU source.
-I believe that behavior here is wrong as ECX[NC] should report the number of cores per processor, as stated in the AMD manual [2] p.584. In my understanding -smp 4 should then lead to ECX[NC] = 0x3.
-
-The following table shows my findings with the -smp option:
-Option | Qemu guest observed ECX value
--smp 4 | 0x0
--smp 4,cores=4  | 0x3
--smp 4,cores=2,thread=2 | 0x3
--smp 4,cores=4,threads=2 | QEMU boot error: topology false.
-
-Now, I'm asking myself how the terminology of the AMD manual maps to QEMU's -smp option.
-Obviously, nr_cores and nr_threads correspond to the cores and threads options on the cmdline and cores * threads <= 4 (in this example), but what corresponds the X in -smp X to?
-
-Querying 0x8000'0008 on the physical processor results in different reports than quering QEMU's model as does it with -enable-kvm -cpu host.
-
-Furthermore, the ACPI.MADT shows 4 local APICs to be present while the CPU leave reports a single core processor.
-
-This leads me to the conclusion that CPUID 0x8000'0008.ECX reports the wrong number.
-
-
-Please let me know, if you need more information from my side.
