+config SCHED_TUNE
+ bool "Boosting for CFS tasks (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+ help
+ This option enables the system-wide support for task boosting.
+ When this support is enabled a new sysctl interface is exposed to
+ userspace via:
+ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost
+ which allows to set a system-wide boost value in range [0..100].
+
+ The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that:
+ - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
+ scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
+ workload demand
+ - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
+ performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
+
+ A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
+ power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
+ scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
+ efficiency.
+
+ Since this support exposes a single system-wide knob, the specified
+ boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
