On systems with overclocking enabled, CPPC Highest Performance can be hard coded to 0xff. In this case even if we have cores with different highest performance, ITMT can't be enabled as the current implementation depends on CPPC Highest Performance. On such systems we can use MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES maximum performance field when CPPC.Highest Performance is 0xff. Due to legacy reasons, we can't solely depend on MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES as in some older systems CPPC Highest Performance is the only way to identify different performing cores.

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.
