Refer to the fixes of cache_info_passthrough ([1], [2]) and SDM, the
CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 25:14] and CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 31:26] should use the
nearest power-of-2 integer.

The nearest power-of-2 integer can be calculated by pow2ceil() or by
using APIC ID offset (like L3 topology using 1 << die_offset [3]).

But in fact, CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 25:14] and CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 31:26]
are associated with APIC ID. For example, in linux kernel, the field
"num_threads_sharing" (Bits 25 - 14) is parsed with APIC ID.

And for
another example, on Alder Lake P, the CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 31:26] is not
matched with actual core numbers and it's calculated by:
"(1 << (pkg_offset - core_offset)) - 1".

could you elaborate it more? what is the value of actual core numbers on Alder lake P? and what is the pkg_offset and core_offset?

Therefore the offset of APIC ID should be preferred to calculate nearest
power-of-2 integer for CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 25:14] and CPUID.04H:EAX[bits
31:26]:
1. d/i cache is shared in a core, 1 << core_offset should be used
    instand of "cs->nr_threads" in encode_cache_cpuid4() for

/s/instand/instead

    CPUID.04H.00H:EAX[bits 25:14] and CPUID.04H.01H:EAX[bits 25:14].
2. L2 cache is supposed to be shared in a core as for now, thereby
    1 << core_offset should also be used instand of "cs->nr_threads" in

ditto

    encode_cache_cpuid4() for CPUID.04H.02H:EAX[bits 25:14].
3. Similarly, the value for CPUID.04H:EAX[bits 31:26] should also be
    calculated with the bit width between the Package and SMT levels in
    the APIC ID (1 << (pkg_offset - core_offset) - 1).

In addition, use APIC ID offset to replace "pow2ceil()" for
cache_info_passthrough case.

Changes since v3:
  * Fix compile warnings. (Babu)
  * Fix spelling typo.

Changes since v1:
  * Use APIC ID offset to replace "pow2ceil()" for cache_info_passthrough
    case. (Yanan)
  * Split the L1 cache fix into a separate patch.
  * Rename the title of this patch (the original is "i386/cpu: Fix number
    of addressable IDs in CPUID.04H").

it should be ((1 << addressable_cores_offset) - 1) << 26

I think naming it addressable_cores_width is better than addressable_cores_offset. It's not offset because offset means the bit position from bit 0.

And we can get the width by another algorithm:

int addressable_cores_width = apicid_core_width(&topo_info) + apicid_die_width(&topo_info);
*eax |= ((1 << addressable_cores_width) - 1)) << 26;
		
                  }
                  if (host_vcpus_per_cache > vcpus_per_socket) {

+                    *eax |= (1 << (pkg_offset - 1)) << 14;

Ditto, ((1 << pkg_offset) - 1) << 14

For this one, I think pow2ceil(vcpus_per_socket) is better. Because it's intuitive that when host_vcpus_per_cache > vcpus_per_socket, we expose vcpus_per_cache (configured by users) to VM.
