For consecutive numbers *lscpu* collapses the output and just shows the
range with start and end. The processors are numbered that way on POWER8.
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=8
$ lscpu | grep '^NUMA node'
NUMA node(s): 2
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-79
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 80-159
This causes the heuristic to detect the number threads per core, looking
for the number after the first comma, to fail, and QEMU aborts because of
invalid arguments.
$ lscpu | sed -n -e '/^NUMA node0/s/^[^,]*,\([0-9]*\),.*$/\1/p'
$
(Before the last patch, the whole line was returned.)
$ lscpu | grep '^NUMA node0' | sed -e 's/^[^,-]*(,|\-)\([0-9]*\),.*$/\1/'
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-79
*lscpu* shows the number of threads per core, so use that value directly.
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=8
$ lscpu | grep 'Thread(s) per core'
Thread(s) per core: 8
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=off
$ lscpu | grep 'Thread(s) per core'
Thread(s) per core: 1
Note, the replaced heuristic is also incorrect for that case, where the
threads per core are disabled.
$ lscpu | sed -n -e '/^NUMA node0/s/^[^,]*,\([0-9]*\),.*$/\1/p'
8
