  Sorry, I didn't meet this issue,  I think I should use a new cpuid function.
  Thanks for the report!

  Thanks for the comments, I plan to add below __cpuid_count() macro function
as below in ltp/include/tst_cpu.h first, there seems to be some other place to
use the cpuid function.

/*
 * gcc cpuid.h provides __cpuid_count() since v4.4.
 * Clang/LLVM cpuid.h provides  __cpuid_count() since v3.4.0.
 *
 * Provide local define for tests needing __cpuid_count() because
 * ltp needs to work in older environments that do not yet
 * have __cpuid_count().
 */
#ifndef __cpuid_count
#define __cpuid_count(level, count, a, b, c, d)				\
	({								\
	__asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid\n\t"				\
			      : "=a" (a), "=b" (b), "=c" (c), "=d" (d)	\
			      : "0" (level), "2" (count));		\
	})
#endif

  Thanks, I will add it.

Thanks!
