The host-cache- info=3Don is the part that makes sure that the cache config is passed to the VM (but unfortunately does not take disabled cores into account, which results in incorrect config). The qemu:commandline is added because I need to add -amd-stibp, otherwise I wouldn't be able to boot. This overrides most parts in the XML part." Is there a XML equivalent for host-cache-info=3Don ? Will that work with model EPYC-IBPB as well? -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856335 Title: Cache Layout wrong on many Zen Arch CPUs Status in QEMU: New Bug description: AMD CPUs have L3 cache per 2, 3 or 4 cores. Currently, TOPOEXT seems to always map Cache ass if it was an 4-Core per CCX CPU, which is incorrect, and costs upwards 30% performance (more realistically 10%) in L3 Cache Layout aware applications. Example on a 4-CCX CPU (1950X /w 8 Cores and no SMT): =C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0EPYC-IBPB =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0AMD =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 In windows, coreinfo reports correctly: ****---- Unified Cache 1, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 ----**** Unified Cache 6, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 On a 3-CCX CPU (3960X /w 6 cores and no SMT): =C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0EPYC-IBPB =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0AMD =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 in windows, coreinfo reports incorrectly: ****-- Unified Cache 1, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 ----** Unified Cache 6, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 Validated against 3.0, 3.1, 4.1 and 4.2 versions of qemu-kvm. With newer Qemu there is a fix (that does behave correctly) in using the = dies parameter: =C2=A0 The problem is that the dies are exposed differently than how AMD does it natively, they are exposed to Windows as sockets, which means, that if you are nto a business user, you can't ever have a machine with more than two CCX (6 cores) as consumer versions of Windows only supports two sockets.
