[Bug 1788275] Re: -cpu ...,+topoext works only with EPYC CPU model

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another 
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be 
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state 
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as 
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a 
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

** Changed in: qemu
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  -cpu ...,+topoext works only with EPYC CPU model

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  See bug report at:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1615682

  Probably this is caused by the inconsistent legacy cache information
  on all CPU models except EPYC.

  ---------------------------------------------
  Description of problem:
  Guest should get 2 threads per core and all of them should be on-line when 
booting guest with old amd cpu model + smt

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1.Boot rhel7.6 guest with cli:
  /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name rhel7.6 -m 16G -machine pc,accel=kvm \
          -S \
          -cpu Opteron_G3,+topoext,xlevel=0x8000001e,enforce \
          -smp 2,threads=2 \
          -monitor stdio \
          -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp2,server,nowait \
          -device VGA \
          -vnc :0 \
          -serial unix:/tmp/console2,server,nowait \
          -uuid 115e11b2-a869-41b5-91cd-6a32a907be7f \
          -drive 
file=rhel7.6-20180812.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop
 -device ide-hd,drive=drive-scsi-disk0,id=scsi-disk0 \
          -netdev tap,id=idinWyYY,vhost=on -device 
virtio-net-pci,mac=2e:39:fa:ff:88:a1,id=idlbq7eA,netdev=idinWyYY \

  2.check cpu info inside guest
  3.

  Actual results:
  Guest gets one online cpu, one offline cpu and one thread per core:
