Attached Ubuntu 17.04 guest logs.
I wasn't able to run x86info as root. Only as regular user.
Error shown:
readEntry: Operation not permitted
error reading 1KB from 0x3fffc00
There are a few bug reports about it but no workarounds. Seems to happen on
vm's.
So the output is missing a few sections.
>Also, can somebody confirm if the same Windows version works as
expected on bare metal?
Yes, same Windows version on bare metal works as expected. In my case showing 8
cores and 16 threads/logical processors.
I'm trying to use 4 cores 8 threads in the VMs. Both Windows and Ubuntu are
showing 8 physical cores.

Title:
SMT not supported by QEMU on AMD Ryzen CPU
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
HyperThreading/SMT is supported by AMD Ryzen CPUs but results in this
message when setting the topology to threads=2:
qemu-system-x86_64: AMD CPU doesn't support hyperthreading. Please
configure -smp options properly.
Checking in a Windows 10 guest reveals that SMT is not enabled, and
from what I understand, QEMU converts the topology from threads to
cores internally on AMD CPUs. This appears to cause performance
problems in the guest perhaps because programs are assuming that these
threads are actual cores.
Software: Linux 4.12, qemu 2.9.0 host with KVM enabled, Windows 10 pro
guest
