Hello Len,

I am testing your patches in a VM with CPUID.1f QEMU patches (author Like Xu is CC'ed),
booted to get 2 packages with 1 NUMA node each and 2 dies each:

-smp cpus=16,threads=2,cores=2,dies=2,sockets=2 -numa node,cpus=0-7,nodeid=0 -numa node,cpus=8-15,nodeid=1

sysfs files expose wrong information:
core_siblings contains threads of the local die AND of die with same number in other processors,
eg cpu 0-3 and 8-11 instead of 0-3 only.

The issue is that you seem to assume that die ids will always be unique across multiple packages.

I don't think the intel MCP topolohgy has this global uniqueness assumption for die_id according to CPUID.1F SDM.

Is this a valid assumption? If so, QEMU patches should be fixed.
If not, I fixed the issue by changing match_die() to check both phys_proc_id and cpu_die_id:

static bool match_die(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
{
if (c->phys_proc_id == o->phys_proc_id && c->cpu_die_id == o->cpu_die_id)
return true;
return false;
}

Thanks
Brice
