+ * Trusted clients with deadline-sensitive work may report information
+ * about the execution of their work using the work interval facility.
+ * This is intended to be a higher-level semantic than realtime scheduling,
+ * which operates at the level of thread block/unblock. A high level
+ * operation may have many blocking points, including IPC to other tasks,
+ * and this this metric will capture the overall time to complete a unit of
+ * work.
+ *
+ * A work interval is defined by several timestamps, namely (S)tart,
+ * (F)inish, (D)eadline, and (N)ext start.

+ * \_________/
+ * |
+ * report information here ---------+
+ *
+ * Definitions:
+ *
+ * Start: Absolute time when the current deadline-oriented work began. Due
+ * to scheduling latency, preemption, and blocking points, the
+ * thread controlling the work interval may actually begin
+ * executing after this ideal time (which may be the previous work
+ * interval's "next start")
+ * Finish: Absolute time when the current deadline-oriented work finished.
+ * This will typically be a timestamp taken before reporting using
+ * the work interval interface.
+ * Deadline: Absolute time by which the current work was expected to finish.
+ * In cases where the amount of computation (or preemption, or time
+ * spent blocked) causes the active period to take longer than
+ * expected, F may be greater than D.
+ * Next start: Absolute time when the next deadline-oriented work is
+ * expected to begin. This is typically the same as Deadline.
+ * Active: The fraction of the work interval spent completing the work. In
+ * cases where the Finish time exceeded the Deadline, this fraction
+ * will be >1.0.
+ *
+ * Basic Use:
+ *
+ * Clients should report information for a work interval after finishing
+ * work for the current interval but before the next work interval begins.
+ *
+ * If Finish far exceeds the previously expected Deadline, the
+ * caller may adjust Next Start to align to a multiple of the period
+ * (and skip over several work intervals that could not be
+ * executed).
+ *
+ * Caution (!):
+ *
+ * Because the information supplied via this facility directly influences power
+ * management decisions, clients should strive to be as accurate as possible.
+ * Failure to do so will adversely impact system power and performance.
