  • Article

This class is the event type class for context switch events.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code.

Syntax

class CSwitch : Thread_V2
{
  uint32 NewThreadId;
  uint32 OldThreadId;
  sint8  NewThreadPriority;
  sint8  OldThreadPriority;
  uint8  PreviousCState;
  sint8  SpareByte;
  sint8  OldThreadWaitReason;
  sint8  OldThreadWaitMode;
  sint8  OldThreadState;
  sint8  OldThreadWaitIdealProcessor;

  uint32 Reserved;
};

Members

The CSwitch class has these types of members:

Properties

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(1), Format("x")

New thread ID after the switch.

NewThreadPriority

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(3)

Thread priority of the new thread.

NewThreadWaitTime

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(11), Format("x")

Wait time for the new thread.

OldThreadId

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(2), Format("x")

Previous thread ID.

OldThreadPriority

Data type: sint8

3 Standby
4 Terminated
5 Waiting
6 Transition
7 DeferredReady (added for Windows Server 2003)

OldThreadWaitIdealProcessor

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(10), Format("x")

Ideal wait time of the previous thread.

OldThreadWaitMode

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(8)

Wait mode for the previous thread. The following are the possible values:

State Description
0 KernelMode
1 UserMode

OldThreadWaitReason

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(7)

Wait reason for the previous thread. The following are the possible values:

State Description
0 Executive
1 FreePage
2 PageIn
3 PoolAllocation
4 DelayExecution
5 Suspended
6 UserRequest
7 WrExecutive
8 WrFreePage
9 WrPageIn
10 WrPoolAllocation
11 WrDelayExecution
12 WrSuspended
13 WrUserRequest
14 WrEventPair
15 WrQueue
16 WrLpcReceive
17 WrLpcReply
18 WrVirtualMemory
19 WrPageOut
20 WrRendezvous

PreviousCState

Data type: uint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(5)

The index of the C-state that was last used by the processor. A value of 0 represents the lightest idle state with higher values representing deeper C-states.

Reserved

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(12)

Reserved.

SpareByte

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: WmiDataId(6)

Not used.

Remarks

These events produce a high volume of events.
