cannot be requested to run slower than its own per-policy minimum). The

effective performance depends on whether the platform supports per core

P-states, hyper-threading is enabled and on current performance requests

from other CPUs. When platform doesn't support per core P-states, the

effective performance can be more than the policy limits set on a CPU, if

other CPUs are requesting higher performance at that moment. Even with per

core P-states support, when hyper-threading is enabled, if the sibling CPU

is requesting higher performance, the other siblings will get higher

performance than their policy limits.

3. The global and per-policy limits can be set independently.
