pmapi.h File

Purpose

Describes the structures and constants used by the Performance Monitor APIs subroutines.

Syntax

#include <pmapi.h>

Description

The pmapi.h file defines the following symbolic constants, types, and structures:

Symbolic Constants


MAX_COUNTERS Maximum number of supported counters
MIN_THRESH_VALUE Specifies the minimum threshold value
MAX_THRESH_VALUE Specifies the maximum threshold value
THRESH_SHIFT_MODE Specifies the shift to use to put threshold into pm_mode_t.b.threshold
COUNT_NOTHING Specifies to not count event

Constants for event filters

PM_VERIFIED Specifies events that have been verified
PM_UNVERIFIED Specifies events that have not been verified
PM_CAVEAT Specifies events that work with caveats

Constants for setting mode bits

PM_PROCTREE Turns process tree counting on
PM_COUNT Turns counting on immediately
PM_USER Turns user mode counting on
PM_KERNEL Turns kernel mode counting on
PM_PROCESS Creates a process level group

The structure pm_info_t contains the following members:

int             maxpmcs               /* number of available counters
int             *maxevents            /* number of events for each hw counter 
pm_events_t     **list_events         /* list of available events 
int             thresholdmult         /* threshold multiplier 
char            *proc_name            /* processor name 

The structure pm_events_t contains the following members:

int             event_id              /* event number 
char            status                /* verified/unverified/... 
char            threshold             /* thresholdable event 
char            *short_name           /* mnemonic name 
char            *long_name            /* long name 
char            *description          /* full description 

The structure pm_prog_t contains the following members:

unsigned:6      mode.b.threshold      /* threshold value 
unsigned:1      mode.b.process        /* process level group indicator 
unsigned:1      mode.b.kernel         /* turns kernel mode counting on 
unsigned:1      mode.b.user           /* turns user mode counting on 
unsigned:1      mode.b.count          /* counting state 
unsigned:1      mode.b.proctree       /* turns process tree counting on 
int             events[MAX_COUNTERS]  /* list of counted events 

The structure pm_data_t contains the following members:

pm_ginfo_t      ginfo                 /* group information 
long long       accu[MAX_COUNTERS]    /* accumulated data 

The structure pm_ginfo_t contains the following members:

int             members;               /* number of threads in group 
unsigned:1      flags.b.process       /* process level group indicator 
unsigned:1      flags.b.consistent    /* group data consistent with members 

The following are declared as functions:

double    pm_cycles(void)
