From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <[email protected]>
Update the file information comments in include/linux/pm_qos.h
and kernel/power/qos.c by adding titles along with copyright and
authors information to them and changing the qos.c description to
better reflect its contents (outdated information is dropped from
it in particular).

/*
- * This module exposes the interface to kernel space for specifying
- * QoS dependencies. It provides infrastructure for registration of:
+ * Power Management Quality of Service (PM QoS) support base.
*
- * Dependents on a QoS value : register requests
- * Watchers of QoS value : get notified when target QoS value changes
+ * Copyright (C) 2020 Intel Corporation
*
- * This QoS design is best effort based. Dependents register their QoS needs.
- * Watchers register to keep track of the current QoS needs of the system.
+ * Authors:
+ * Mark Gross <[email protected]>
+ * Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]>
*
- * There are 3 basic classes of QoS parameter: latency, timeout, throughput
- * each have defined units:
- * latency: usec
- * timeout: usec <-- currently not used.
- * throughput: kbs (kilo byte / sec)
+ * Provided here is an interface for specifying PM QoS dependencies. It allows
+ * entities depending on QoS constraints to register their requests which are
+ * aggregated as appropriate to produce effective constraints (target values)
+ * that can be monitored by entities needing to respect them, either by polling
+ * or through a built-in notification mechanism.
*
- * There are lists of pm_qos_objects each one wrapping requests, notifiers
- *
- * User mode requests on a QOS parameter register themselves to the
- * subsystem by opening the device node /dev/... and writing there request to
- * the node. As long as the process holds a file handle open to the node the
- * client continues to be accounted for. Upon file release the usermode
- * request is removed and a new qos target is computed. This way when the
- * request that the application has is cleaned up when closes the file
- * pointer or exits the pm_qos_object will get an opportunity to clean up.
- *
- * Mark Gross <[email protected]>
+ * In addition to the basic functionality, more specific interfaces for managing
+ * global CPU latency QoS requests and frequency QoS requests are provided.
