@Jan: this coreinfo output looks good.
I finally managed to get the core /cache alignment right, I believe:
<vcpu placement="static" current="24">32</vcpu>
<vcpus>
<vcpu id="0" enabled="yes" hotpluggable="no"/>
<vcpu id="1" enabled="yes" hotpluggable="yes"/>

Haven't been able to test if it performs as expected. Need to do that.
Of course it would be great if QEMU was patched to recognize correct CCX
alignment as I'm not sure if and what will be the penalty of this weird
setup.

Title:
Cache Layout wrong on many Zen Arch CPUs
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
AMD CPUs have L3 cache per 2, 3 or 4 cores. Currently, TOPOEXT seems
to always map Cache ass if it was an 4-Core per CCX CPU, which is
incorrect, and costs upwards 30% performance (more realistically 10%)
in L3 Cache Layout aware applications.
Example on a 4-CCX CPU (1950X /w 8 Cores and no SMT):
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'>
<model fallback='forbid'>EPYC-IBPB</model>
<vendor>AMD</vendor>
<topology sockets='1' cores='8' threads='1'/>
In windows, coreinfo reports correctly:
****---- Unified Cache 1, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64
----**** Unified Cache 6, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64
On a 3-CCX CPU (3960X /w 6 cores and no SMT):
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'>
<model fallback='forbid'>EPYC-IBPB</model>
<vendor>AMD</vendor>
<topology sockets='1' cores='6' threads='1'/>
in windows, coreinfo reports incorrectly:
****-- Unified Cache 1, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64
----** Unified Cache 6, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64
Validated against 3.0, 3.1, 4.1 and 4.2 versions of qemu-kvm.
With newer Qemu there is a fix (that does behave correctly) in using the dies
parameter:
<qemu:arg value='cores=3,threads=1,dies=2,sockets=1'/>
The problem is that the dies are exposed differently than how AMD does
it natively, they are exposed to Windows as sockets, which means, that
if you are nto a business user, you can't ever have a machine with
more than two CCX (6 cores) as consumer versions of Windows only
supports two sockets. (Should this be reported as a separate bug?)
