int pm_start_mythread()
int pm_tstart_mythread(*time)
timebasestruct_t *time;The pm_start_mythread subroutine starts Performance Monitor counting for the calling kernel thread. Counting is effective immediately unless the thread is in a group, and that group's counting is not currently set to On. The counting state of a thread in a group is obtained by ANDing the thread counting state with the group state.
The pm_tstart_mythread subroutine starts Performance Monitor counting for the calling kernel thread, and returns a timestamp indicating when the counting was started.
