Thanks Gerd for providing the inputs.

I'll enhance the logic accordingly and submit the V2 patch.

Thanks

This patch adds support for AMD's new extended topology.
If processor supports CPUID 80000026 leaf then obtain
the topology information using new method.
+  /// Check if extended toplogy supported
+  AsmCpuid (CPUID_EXTENDED_FUNCTION, &MaxExtendedCpuIdIndex, NULL, NULL, NULL);
+  if (MaxExtendedCpuIdIndex < AMD_CPUID_EXTENDED_TOPOLOGY) {
+    GetProcessorLocationByApicId (InitialApicId, Package, Core, Thread);
+    return;
+  }
Sure this is correct?

On Intel processors checking MaxExtendedCpuIdIndex alone is not enough,
see commit 170d4ce8e90a ("UefiCpuPkg/BaseXApicX2ApicLib: fix
CPUID_V2_EXTENDED_TOPOLOGY detection")

Especially in virtual machines it can happen that the vCPU supports
extended cpuid leaf N but does not support N-1, so checking
MaxExtendedCpuIdIndex alone looks rather fragile to me.

take care,
   Gerd
