During processing, PFC QoS represents the priority of all traffic (including 
non-IP traffic) with an internal DSCP value. On the PFC, before any marking or 
policing takes place, PFC QoS derives the initial internal DSCP value as 
follows: 
 From received CoS values or from port CoS values for trust CoS traffic. 
 Mapped from received IP precedence values for trust IP precedence traffic. 
 From received DSCP values for trust DSCP traffic. 
 Mapped from port CoS or DSCP values configured in policy maps for untrusted 
traffic. 
For all egress traffic, PFC QoS uses a configurable map to derive a CoS value 
from the final internal DSCP value associated with the traffic.

For received Layer 3 MPLS packets, the PFC usually trusts the EXP value in the 
received topmost label. None of the following have any effect on MPLS packets: 
 Interface trust state 
 Port CoS value 
 Policy-map trust command 


Actually, there are a lot of information. I hope that these links will be 
usefull:
