The pm_get_data_pthread subroutine retrieves the current Performance Monitor data for a target pthread. The pthread must be stopped and must be part of a debuggee process under the control of a calling process.
The pm_get_tdata_pthread subroutine retrieves the current Performance Monitor data for a target pthread, and a timestamp indicating the last time the hardware counters were read.
The pm_get_Tdata_pthread subroutine retrieves the current Performance Monitor data for a target pthread, and the accumulated time (timebase, PURR time and SPURR time) the events were counted.
If the pthread is running in 1:1 mode, only the tid parameter must be specified. If the pthread is running in m:n mode, only the ptid parameter must be specified. If both the ptid and tid parameters are specified, they must be referring to a single pthread with the ptid parameter specified and currently running on a kernel thread with specified tid parameter.
The Performance Monitor data is always a set (one per hardware counter on the machine used) of 64-bit values.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| pid | Process ID of target pthread. Target process must be a debuggee of the caller process. |
| tid | Thread ID of target pthread. To ignore this parameter, set it to 0. |
| ptid | Pthread ID of the target pthread. To ignore this parameter, set it to 0. |
| *pmdata | Pointer to a structure to return the Performance Monitor data for the target pthread. |
| *time | Pointer to a structure containing the timebase value the last time the hardware Performance Monitoring counters were read. This can be converted to time using the time_base_to_time subroutine. |
| *times | Pointer to a structure containing the accumulated time (timebase, PURR time and SPURR time) the events were counted. Each time counter can be converted to time using the time_base_to_time subroutine. |
