Sets Performance Monitor programmation in counter multiplexing mode and multi-mode for a target pthread.
Performance Monitor APIs Library (libpmapi.a)
The pm_set_program_pthread_mx and the pm_set_program_pthread_mm subroutines set the Performance Monitor programmation respectively in counter multiplexing mode or in multi-mode for a target pthread. The pthread must be stopped and must be part of a debuggee process, under the control of the calling process.
The pm_set_program_pthread_mx setting includes the list of the event arrays events to be counted and a mode in which to count. The mode is global to all of the event lists. The events to count are in an array of list of event identifiers.
The pm_set_program_pthread_mm subroutine setting includes the list of the event arrays to be counted, and the associated mode in which to count each event array. A counting mode is defined for each event array.
The event identifiers must be selected from the lists returned by the pm_inititialize subroutine.
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 counting mode for both subroutines includes the User Mode or the Kernel Mode, or both; and the Initial Counting State. The defaults are set to Off for the User Mode and the Kernel Mode, and the Initial Default State is set to delay counting until the pm_start_pthread subroutine is called.
When you use the pm_set_program_pthread_mm subroutine for multi-mode counting, the Process Tree Mode and the Start Counting Mode are fixed by their values defined in the first programming set.
If the list includes an event which can be used with a threshold (as indicated by the pm_initialize subroutine), a threshold value can also be specified.
| 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. |
| *prog | Specifies the events and the modes
to use in the Performance
Monitor setup. The prog parameter supports
the following modes:
|
| *prog_mm | Specifies the events and the associated modes to use in the
Performance Monitor setup. The prog_mm parameter
supports the following modes:
The PM_PROCTREE mode and the PM_COUNT mode defined in the first setting fix the value for the counting. |
