Observed the following failure while booting the SEV-SNP guest and the
guest fails to boot with the smp parameters:
"-smp 192,sockets=1,dies=12,cores=8,threads=2".

qemu-system-x86_64: SEV-SNP: CPUID validation failed for function 0x8000001e,
index: 0x0.
provided: eax:0x00000000, ebx: 0x00000100, ecx: 0x00000b00, edx: 0x00000000

qemu-system-x86_64: SEV-SNP: failed update CPUID page
Reason for the failure is due to overflowing of bits used for "Node per
processor" in CPUID Fn8000001E_ECX. This field's width is 3 bits wide and
can hold maximum value 0x7. With dies=12 (0xB), it overflows and spills
over into the reserved bits. In the case of SEV-SNP, this causes CPUID
enforcement failure and guest fails to boot.
The PPR documentation for CPUID_Fn8000001E_ECX [Node Identifiers]
=================================================================
Bits Description
31:11 Reserved.
10:8 NodesPerProcessor: Node per processor. Read-only.
ValidValues:
Value Description
0h 1 node per processor.
7h-1h Reserved.
7:0 NodeId: Node ID. Read-only. Reset: Fixed,XXh.
=================================================================
As in the spec, the valid value for "node per processor" is 0 and rest
are reserved.
Looking back at the history of decoding of CPUID_Fn8000001E_ECX, noticed
that there were cases where "node per processor" can be more than 1. It
is valid only for pre-F17h (pre-EPYC) architectures. For EPYC or later
CPUs, the linux kernel does not use this information to build the L3
topology.
Also noted that the CPUID Function 0x8000001E_ECX is available only when
TOPOEXT feature is enabled. This feature is enabled only for EPYC(F17h)
or later processors. So, previous generation of processors do not not
enumerate 0x8000001E_ECX leaf.
There could be some corner cases where the older guests could enable the
TOPOEXT feature by running with -cpu host, in which case legacy guests
might notice the topology change. To address those cases introduced a
new CPU property "legacy-multi-node". It will be true for older machine
types to maintain compatibility. By default, it will be false, so new
decoding will be used going forward.
The documentation is taken from Preliminary Processor Programming
Reference (PPR) for AMD Family 19h Model 11h, Revision B1 Processors 55901
Rev 0.25 - Oct 6, 2022.
