GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx() broken under Windows 7

Description

Hi.

So, the main issue I want to report is that GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx() basically returns garbage under Windows 7. It's a fresh, Vanilla install of Windows 7. The only software installed is the Windows Platform SDK. The first record returned looks okay, but they rapidly deteriorate until after two or three you're looking at 0xCDCDCDCDCD, etc.

GetLogicalProcessorInformation(), the earlier version (no "Ex" on the end), also has a problem, but it seems mainly to work - the problem is that it only reports data caches. No instruction or unified caches are reported. Everything else seemed fine, on my one system.

Separately from VB, but related to getting this bug reported, the Oracle account creation process appears to have a number of issues.

  1. The account creation page does not load if DOM storage is turned off.
  2. Upon creating the account, a page is shown saying an email has been sent with instructions to activate the account. In fact, a password reset email has been sent.
  3. Upon performing the password reset, a SECOND password reset email is sent.
  4. Upon performing the second reset, the account is confirmed.
  5. Trying to log in does not work, at least not under Firefox - "page is not redirectly correctly". However, you are in fact logged in, and so I was able to come back to this page and post this bug report.

As an aside, I spent three hours this morning trying to get VB 5.0 installed, to see if the GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx() existed there. I was able to install 5.0 itself just fine from the VB repos, but the QT interface is not provided. After a few hours, I concluded that although the QT package is shown via the web by Debian to be present in jessie-backports, it in fact is not present (not indeed are any of the 5.0 packages); aptitude only finds 4.3.36. I gave up.
