package_id is to match cores that are part of the same chip. On PowerNV machines, package_id defaults to chip_id. However ibm,chip_id property is not present in device-tree of PowerVM LPARs. Hence lscpu output shows one core per socket and multiple cores. To overcome this, use nid as the package_id on PowerVM LPARs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
