The VM has 72 vCPUs in two NUMA nodes across two physical Intel processors, with 36 vCPUs in each NUMA node. The output is from /sys/kernel/debug/x86/topo/cpus, so the initial_apicid is from CPUID, while the apicid is from read_apic_id() and matches the MADT. As expected, the two values match for the first 36 vCPUs, but differ by 28 (decimal) for the remaining 36. initial_apicid: 0 apicid: 0 initial_apicid: 1 apicid: 1 initial_apicid: 2 apicid: 2 initial_apicid: 3 apicid: 3 initial_apicid: 4 apicid: 4 initial_apicid: 5 apicid: 5 initial_apicid: 6 apicid: 6 initial_apicid: 7 apicid: 7 initial_apicid: 8 apicid: 8 initial_apicid: 9 apicid: 9 initial_apicid: a apicid: a initial_apicid: b apicid: b initial_apicid: c apicid: c initial_apicid: d apicid: d initial_apicid: e apicid: e initial_apicid: f apicid: f initial_apicid: 10 apicid: 10 initial_apicid: 11 apicid: 11 initial_apicid: 12 apicid: 12 initial_apicid: 13 apicid: 13 initial_apicid: 14 apicid: 14 initial_apicid: 15 apicid: 15 initial_apicid: 16 apicid: 16 initial_apicid: 17 apicid: 17 initial_apicid: 18 apicid: 18 initial_apicid: 19 apicid: 19 initial_apicid: 1a apicid: 1a initial_apicid: 1b apicid: 1b initial_apicid: 1c apicid: 1c initial_apicid: 1d apicid: 1d initial_apicid: 1e apicid: 1e initial_apicid: 1f apicid: 1f initial_apicid: 20 apicid: 20 initial_apicid: 21 apicid: 21 initial_apicid: 22 apicid: 22 initial_apicid: 23 apicid: 23 initial_apicid: 40 apicid: 24 initial_apicid: 41 apicid: 25 initial_apicid: 42 apicid: 26 initial_apicid: 43 apicid: 27 initial_apicid: 44 apicid: 28 initial_apicid: 45 apicid: 29 initial_apicid: 46 apicid: 2a initial_apicid: 47 apicid: 2b initial_apicid: 48 apicid: 2c initial_apicid: 49 apicid: 2d initial_apicid: 4a apicid: 2e initial_apicid: 4b apicid: 2f initial_apicid: 4c apicid: 30 initial_apicid: 4d apicid: 31 initial_apicid: 4e apicid: 32 initial_apicid: 4f apicid: 33 initial_apicid: 50 apicid: 34 initial_apicid: 51 apicid: 35 initial_apicid: 52 apicid: 36 initial_apicid: 53 apicid: 37 initial_apicid: 54 apicid: 38 initial_apicid: 55 apicid: 39 initial_apicid: 56 apicid: 3a initial_apicid: 57 apicid: 3b initial_apicid: 58 apicid: 3c initial_apicid: 59 apicid: 3d initial_apicid: 5a apicid: 3e initial_apicid: 5b apicid: 3f initial_apicid: 5c apicid: 40 initial_apicid: 5d apicid: 41 initial_apicid: 5e apicid: 42 initial_apicid: 5f apicid: 43 initial_apicid: 60 apicid: 44 initial_apicid: 61 apicid: 45 initial_apicid: 62 apicid: 46 initial_apicid: 63 apicid: 47 Michael
