 The cache sizes are reported as summary from all CPUs.  The versions before
 v2.34 reported per-core sizes, but this output was confusing due to complicated
 CPUs topology and the way how caches are shared between CPUs. For more details

 starting from zero, but CPU logical numbers follow the kernel where there is
