Linux kernel source tree

The legacy ACPI hardware P-States function has 3 P-States on ACPI table, the CPU frequency only can be switched between the 3 P-States. While the processor supports the boost state, it will have another boost state that the frequency can be higher than P0 state, and the state can be decoded by the function of decode_pstates() and read by amd_pci_get_num_boost_states(). However, the new AMD P-State function is different than legacy ACPI hardware P-State on AMD processors. That has a finer grain frequency range between the highest and lowest frequency. And boost frequency is actually the frequency which is mapped on highest performance ratio. The similar previous P0 frequency is mapped on nominal performance ratio. If the highest performance on the processor is higher than nominal performance, then we think the current processor supports the boost state. And it uses amd_pstate_boost_init() to initialize boost for AMD P-State function.

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.
