Folks,

We are running openstack with KVM and i have noticed kvm presenting
wrong CPU Tolopoly to VM and because of that we are seeing bad
performance to our application.

This is openstack compute:

# lstopo-no-graphics --no-io
Machine (64GB total)
  NUMANode L#0 (P#0 32GB) + Package L#0 + L3 L#0 (25MB)
    L2 L#0 (256KB) + L1d L#0 (32KB) + L1i L#0 (32KB) + Core L#0
      PU L#0 (P#0)
      PU L#1 (P#20)
    L2 L#1 (256KB) + L1d L#1 (32KB) + L1i L#1 (32KB) + Core L#1
      PU L#2 (P#1)
      PU L#3 (P#21)

This is VM running on above compute

# lstopo-no-graphics --no-io
Machine (59GB total)
  NUMANode L#0 (P#0 29GB) + Package L#0 + L3 L#0 (16MB)
    L2 L#0 (4096KB) + Core L#0
      L1d L#0 (32KB) + L1i L#0 (32KB) + PU L#0 (P#0)
      L1d L#1 (32KB) + L1i L#1 (32KB) + PU L#1 (P#1)
    L2 L#1 (4096KB) + Core L#1
      L1d L#2 (32KB) + L1i L#2 (32KB) + PU L#2 (P#2)
      L1d L#3 (32KB) + L1i L#3 (32KB) + PU L#3 (P#3)

if you noticed P#0 and P#1 has own (32KB) cache per thread that is
wrong presentation if you compare with physical CPU.

This is a screenshot of AWS vs Openstack CPU Topology and looking at
openstack its presentation is little odd, is that normal?

I am running CentOS7.6 with kvm 2.12 version.
