Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Add branch performance metric
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:29:23 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091018112923.GQ4808@kryten> (raw)
When we count both branches and branch-misses it is useful to print out
the percentage of branch-misses:
# perf stat -e branches -e branch-misses /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
401684 branches # 0.000 M/sec
23301 branch-misses # 5.801 %
