[PATCH 2/2] x86/cpu/topology: Use initial APICID from XTOPOEXT on AMD/HYGON

From: K Prateek Nayak

Prior to the topology parsing rewrite and the switchover to the new
parsing logic for AMD processors in commit c749ce393b8f ("x86/cpu: Use
common topology code for AMD"), the "initial_apicid" on these platforms
was:

- First initialized to the LocalApicId from CPUID leaf 0x1 EBX[31:24].

- Then overwritten by the ExtendedLocalApicId in CPUID leaf 0xb
EDX[31:0] on processors that supported topoext.

With the new parsing flow introduced in commit f7fb3b2dd92c ("x86/cpu:
Provide an AMD/HYGON specific topology parser"), parse_8000_001e() now
unconditionally overwrites the "initial_apicid" already parsed during
cpu_parse_topology_ext().

Although this has not been a problem on baremetal platforms, on
virtualized AMD guests that feature more than 255 cores, QEMU 0's out
the CPUID leaf 0x8000001e on CPUs with "CoreID" > 255 to prevent
collision of these IDs in EBX[7:0] which can only represent a maximum of
255 cores [1].

This results in the following FW_BUG being logged when booting a guest
with more than 255 cores:

[Firmware Bug]: CPU 512: APIC ID mismatch. CPUID: 0x0000 APIC: 0x0200

Rely on the APICID parsed during cpu_parse_topology_ext() from CPUID
leaf 0x80000026 or 0xb and only use the APICID from leaf 0x8000001e if
cpu_parse_topology_ext() failed (has_topoext is false).

On platforms that support the 0xb leaf (Zen2 or later, AMD guests on
QEMU) or the extended leaf 0x80000026 (Zen4 or later), the
"initial_apicid" is now set to the value parsed from EDX[31:0].

On older AMD/Hygon platforms that does not support the 0xb leaf but
supports the TOPOEXT extension (Fam 0x15, 0x16, 0x17[Zen1], and Hygon),
the current behavior is retained where "initial_apicid" is set using
the 0x8000001e leaf.
