sed’s switch `-n` (`--silent`) suppresses the automatic printing of
the pattern space, therefore, allowing to replace grep by only
printing the current pattern space using the command `p`.

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 | grep '^NUMA node0' | sed -e 's/^[^,-]*(,|\-)\([0-9]*\),.*$/\1/'

*lscpu* shows the number of threads per core, so use that value directly.
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=8

Thread(s) per core: 8
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=off

Note, the replaced heuristic is also incorrect for that case, where the
threads per core are disabled.

Makes sense, and thank you for chasing this down and for the fix!
But should this patch and 1/2 be merged? Or am I confused and they
are somehow affecting two different lines of scripting?
Thanx, Paul

You are right. I guess with 1/2 I just wanted to document clearly, what
I learned in #[email protected], that means, how to avoid using grep,
when sed is used.
Kind regards,

Nothing wrong with that!
I have merged the two patches as shown below. Does this work for you?

commit 9f0daba62e958c31326c7a9eae33651e3a3cc6b4
Author: Paul Menzel <[email protected]>
Date: Tue Feb 22 13:07:16 2022 +0100
torture: Make thread detection more robust by using lspcu
For consecutive numbers the lscpu command 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 | grep '^NUMA node0' | sed -e 's/^[^,-]*(,|\-)\([0-9]*\),.*$/\1/'
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-79
But the lscpu command shows the number of threads per core:
$ 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
This commit therefore directly uses that value.

Maybe extend: …, and replaces `grep` by using using sed’s switch `-n`
and the command p.
