The boost control currently applies to the whole system. However, users may prefer to boost a subset of cores in order to provide prioritized performance to workloads running on the boosted cores. Enable per-policy boost by adding a 'boost' sysfs interface under each policy path. This can be found at: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy<*>/boost Same to the global boost switch, writing 1/0 to the per-policy 'boost' enables/disables boost on a cpufreq policy respectively. The user view of global and per-policy boost controls should be: 1. Enabling global boost initially enables boost on all policies, and per-policy boost can then be enabled or disabled individually, given that the platform does support so. 2. Disabling global boost makes the per-policy boost interface illegal.

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.
