Utilization clamping is a new feature added in v5.3. It gives a hint to the scheduler about the allowed range of utilization the task should be operating at. The utilization of the task affects frequency selection and task placement. Only schedutil cpufreq governor understands handling util clamp hints at the time of writing. Consult your kernel docs for further info about other cpufreq governors support. If you're running on asymmetric heterogeneous system like Arm's big.LITTLE. Utilization clamping can help bias task placement. If the task is boosted such that util_min value is higher than the little cores' capacity, then the scheduler will do its best to place it on a big core. Similarly, if util_max is smaller than or equal the capacity of the little cores, then the scheduler can still choose to place it there even if the actual utilization of the task is at max. Setting a task's uclamp_min to a none zero value will effectively boost the task as when it runs it'll always start from this utilization value. By setting a task's uclamp_max below 1024, this will effectively cap the task as when it runs it'll never be able to go above this utilization value. The full utilization range is: [0:1024]. The special value -1 is used to reset to system's default.

This means users can set the utilization clamp values for their task across the full range [0:1024]. <?><?><?><?><?><?><?>: uclampset -s -m 512 -M 700 will prevent any task from being boosted higher than 512.
