It's exactly what I expected but it does not make any sense at all. > [ 0.000000] Legacy: 2 5 5 So that means that during early boot where the topology parameters are decoded from CPUID the CPUID evaluation code sees that the maximum supported CPUID leaf is 0x02 and it therefore reads complete non-sense. Later on when the full CPUID evaluation happens it sees the full space and uses leaf 0xb. > [ 1.687649] L:b 0 0 S:1 N:2 T:1 > [ 1.687652] D: 0 > [ 1.687653] L:b 1 1 S:5 N:24 T:2 > [ 1.687655] D: 1 > [ 1.687656] L:b 2 2 S:0 N:0 T:0 > [ 1.687658] [Firmware Bug]: CPU0: Topology domain 0 shift 1 != 5 And this obviously sees the proper numbers and complains about the inconsistency. So something on this CPU is broken. The same problem exists on all APs: > [ 1.790035] .... node #0, CPUs: #4 > [ 1.790312] .... node #1, CPUs: #12 #16 > [ 0.011992] Legacy: 2 5 5 > [ 0.011992] Legacy: 2 5 5 > [ 0.011992] Legacy: 2 5 5 > [ 0.011992] Legacy: 2 5 5 ..... Now the million-dollar question is what unlocks CPUID to read the proper value of EAX of leaf 0. All I could come up with is to sprinkle a dozen of printks into that code. Updated debug patch below.
