For consecutive numbers *lscpu* collapses the output and just shows the range with start and end. The processors are numbered that way on POWER8.
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=8 $ lscpu | grep '^NUMA node' NUMA node(s): 2 NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-79 NUMA node8 CPU(s): 80-159
This causes the heuristic to detect the number threads per core, looking for the number after the first comma, to fail, and QEMU aborts because of invalid arguments.
$ lscpu | sed -n -e '/^NUMA node0/s/^[^,]*,([0-9]*),.*$/\1/p' $
(Before the last patch, the whole line was returned.)
$ lscpu | grep '^NUMA node0' | sed -e 's/^[^,-]*(,|-)([0-9]*),.*$/\1/' NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-79
*lscpu* shows the number of threads per core, so use that value directly.
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=8 $ lscpu | grep 'Thread(s) per core' Thread(s) per core: 8 $ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=off $ lscpu | grep 'Thread(s) per core' Thread(s) per core: 1
Note, the replaced heuristic is also incorrect for that case, where the threads per core are disabled.
$ lscpu | sed -n -e '/^NUMA node0/s/^[^,]*,([0-9]*),.*$/\1/p' 8
