Hi,

the HVM CPUID intercept does not mask out the local APIC ID bits in CPUID Fn0000_0001, bits 24-31 in EBX. This results in inconsistent values of subsequent calls to cpuid on the same VCPU (delivering the value of the physical CPU), depending on the current scheduling. This for instance confuses Linux' NUMA code. The attached patch fixes this by replacing the physical APIC ID with the VCPU number, both in the VMX and SVM branches.

Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>

I hope this does not trigger any side effects...

Regards,
Andre
