i386/cpu: Fix i/d-cache topology to core level for Intel CPU
For i-cache and d-cache, current QEMU hardcodes the maximum IDs for CPUs sharing cache (CPUID.04H.00H:EAX[bits 25:14] and CPUID.04H.01H:EAX[bits 25:14]) to 0, and this means i-cache and d-cache are shared in the SMT level. This is correct if there's single thread per core, but is wrong for the hyper threading case (one core contains multiple threads) since the i-cache and d-cache are shared in the core level other than SMT level. For AMD CPU, commit8f4202fb10
("i386: Populate AMD Processor Cache Information for cpuid 0x8000001D") has already introduced i/d cache topology as core level by default. Therefore, in order to be compatible with both multi-threaded and single-threaded situations, we should set i-cache and d-cache be shared at the core level by default. This fix changes the default i/d cache topology from per-thread to per-core. Potentially, this change in L1 cache topology may affect the performance of the VM if the user does not specifically specify the topology or bind the vCPU. However, the way to achieve optimal performance should be to create a reasonable topology and set the appropriate vCPU affinity without relying on QEMU's default topology structure. Fixes:7e3482f824
