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.

The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
requirements
------------
On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
providing cpuid.h is needed.
For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
libcpupower
----------
"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
compilation and installation
----------------------------
make
su
make install
should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
THANKS
------
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
cpupower.
