int pm_get_program_mythread ( *prog)
pm_prog_t *prog;
The pm_get_program_mythread subroutine retrieves the Performance Monitor settings for the calling kernel thread. This includes mode information and the events being counted, which are in a list of event identifiers. The identifiers come from the lists returned by the pm_init subroutine.
The counting mode includes user mode and kernel mode, and the current counting state.
If the list includes an event which can be used with a threshold (as indicated by the pm_init subroutine), a threshold value is also returned.
