The max siblings value returned by CPUID.1F SMT level EBX differs among
CPUs on Intel Hybrid platforms like ADL-S/P.
It returns 2 for Pcore CPUs which have HT sibling and 1 for Ecore CPUs
which do not.
Today, CPUID SMT level EBX sets the global variable smp_num_siblings.
Thus, smp_num_siblings is overridden to different values based on the CPU
Pcore/Ecore enumeration order.
For example,
[ 0.201005] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x0, smp_num_siblings 2, x86_max_cores 10
[ 0.201117] start_kernel->check_bugs->cpu_smt_check_topology: smp_num_siblings 2
...
[ 0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x8, smp_num_siblings 2, x86_max_cores 10
...
[ 0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x39, smp_num_siblings 2, x86_max_cores 10
[ 0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x48, smp_num_siblings 1, x86_max_cores 20
...
[ 0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x4e, smp_num_siblings 1, x86_max_cores 20
[ 2.583800] sched_set_itmt_core_prio: smp_num_siblings 1
This inconsistency brings several potential issues:
1. some kernel configuration like cpu_smt_control, as set in
start_kernel()->check_bugs()->cpu_smt_check_topology(), depends on
smp_num_siblings set by cpu0.
It is pure luck that all the current hybrid platforms use Pcore as cpu0
and hide this problem.
2. some per CPU data like cpuinfo_x86.x86_max_cores that depends on
smp_num_siblings becomes inconsistent and bogus.
3. the final smp_num_siblings value after boot depends on the last CPU
enumerated, which could either be Pcore or Ecore CPU.
The solution is to use CPUID EAX bits_shift to get the maximum number of
addressable logical processors, and use this to determin max siblings.
Because:
1. the CPUID EAX bits_shift values are consistent among CPUs as far as
observed.
2. some code already uses smp_num_siblings value to isolate the SMT ID
bits in APIC-ID, like apic_id_is_primary_thread().
