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/width (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".

Therefore the topology information 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
    instead of "cs->nr_threads" in encode_cache_cpuid4() for
    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 instead of "cs->nr_threads" in
    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 bits calculations to replace "pow2ceil()" for
cache_info_passthrough case.

Please get rid of the local variable @addressable_threads_width.

It is truly confusing. In this patch, it is assigned to
 - apicid_pkg_offset(&topo_info);
 - apicid_core_offset(&topo_info);
 - apicid_die_offset(&topo_info);

in different cases.

I only suggested the name of addressable_core_width in v7, which is apicid_pkg_offset(&topo_info) - apicid_core_offset(&topo_info); And it is straightforward that it means the number of bits in x2APICID to encode different addressable cores.

But it is not similar to addressable_threads_width, the semantic changes per different cache level. In fact, you want something like bit_width_of_addressable_threads_sharing_this_level_of_cache.

So I suggest stop using the variable of "address_therads_width". Instead just apicid_*_offset() directly.


With above fixed, feel free to add my
