Hello everyone!

I've read about the CPU performance scaling in Linux kernel documentation and tried experimenting with multiple scaling governors. Based on the documentation, the performance scaling governor should set the frequency to the maximum possible frequency.
I've got two machines with different kernel versions: v3.10.0 (CentOS 7) and v5.10.106 (Debian 11). When I set the 'scaling_governor' to 'performance' in the CentOS machine, it is working as expected and the CPU frequency is set to the maximum possible frequency statically. But when I set the 'scaling_governor' to 'performance' in the Debian machine, that's not the case and the CPU frequency is changing dynamically.

But when I set the 'scaling_governor' to 'performance' in the Debian machine, that's not the case and the CPU frequency is changing dynamically.
I've read that 'intel_pstate' scaling driver would bypass the scaling governor and set the CPU frequency based on its internal pstate information. But in both CentOS and Debian machines, the 'scaling_driver' is set to 'acpi-cpufreq' only.
How can I solve this? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
