"cluster" is a CPU topology level concept above cores, in which the cores may share some resources (L2 cache or some others like L3 cache tags, depending on the Archs) [1][2]. For x86, the resource shared by cores at the cluster level is mainly the L2 cache. However, using cluster to define x86's L2 cache topology will cause the compatibility problem: Currently, x86 defaults that the L2 cache is shared in one core, which actually implies a default setting "cores per L2 cache is 1" and therefore implicitly defaults to having as many L2 caches as cores. For example (i386 PC machine): -smp 16,sockets=2,dies=2,cores=2,threads=2,maxcpus=16 (*) Considering the topology of the L2 cache, this (*) implicitly means "1 core per L2 cache" and "2 L2 caches per die". If we use cluster to configure L2 cache topology with the new default setting "clusters per L2 cache is 1", the above semantics will change to "2 cores per cluster" and "1 cluster per L2 cache", that is, "2 cores per L2 cache". So the same command (*) will cause changes in the L2 cache topology, further affecting the performance of the virtual machine. Therefore, x86 should only treat cluster as a cpu topology level and avoid using it to change L2 cache by default for compatibility. "cluster" in smp is the CPU topology level which is between "core" and die. For x86, the "cluster" in smp is corresponding to the module level [2], which is above the core level. So use the "module" other than "cluster" in i386 code. And please note that x86 already has a cpu topology level also named "cluster" [3], this level is at the upper level of the package. Here, the cluster in x86 cpu topology is completely different from the "clusters" as the smp parameter. After the module level is introduced, the cluster as the smp parameter will actually refer to the module level of x86.
