CPUID L2 param is confilict btw two cpuid = 0x4 with 0x80000006

LisaJohn — Thu, 18 May 2023 08:22:45 GMT

but why? I am also confusing about this.
Here are my src code.

// processor
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include<string.h>
// intel support - support
void cpuid(int code, int level, unsigned int *a, unsigned int *b, unsigned int *c, unsigned int *d) {
asm volatile("cpuid"
: "=a"(*a), "=b"(*b), "=c"(*c), "=d"(*d)
: "a"(code), "c"(level));
}
// Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_CacheMemory | Select-Object -Property *
// Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor
// wmic cpu get L3CacheSize
// wmic cpu get Name, Family, ProcessorId, Model, Stepping

int main() {
unsigned int brand_string[13];
uint32_t eax, ebx, ecx, edx;
int k = 0;

cpuid(0x80000000, 0, &eax,&ebx,&ecx,&edx);

// get cpu max functionId
if (eax < 0x80000004) {
printf("the cpu is not support\n");

return 0;
}
// ref intel cpuid
cpuid(0x04, 1, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
printf("L1 Cache EAX:%08X EBX:%08X ECX:%08X EDX: %08X\n", eax, ebx, ecx, edx);
cpuid(0x04, 2, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
printf("L2 Cache EAX:%08X EBX:%08X ECX:%08X EDX: %08X\n", eax, ebx, ecx, edx);
cpuid(0x04, 3, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
printf("L3 Cache EAX:%08X EBX:%08X ECX:%08X EDX: %08X\n", eax, ebx, ecx, edx);
cpuid(0x80000006, 0, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
printf("80000006 EAX:%08X EBX:%08X ECX:%08X EDX: %08X\n", eax, ebx, ecx, edx);

return 0;
}

And my question is why " 0x04 L2 EBX[31:22] = 4ways but 0x80000006 ECX[15:12] = 8ways"
