perf stat: Count branches first
Count branches first, cache-misses second. The reason is that on x86 branches are not counted by all counters on all CPUs. Before: Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0.756653 task-clock-msecs # 0.802 CPUs 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 250 page-faults # 0.330 M/sec 2375725 cycles # 3139.781 M/sec 1628129 instructions # 0.685 IPC 19643 cache-references # 25.960 M/sec 4608 cache-misses # 6.090 M/sec 342532 branches # 452.694 M/sec <not counted> branch-misses 0.000943356 seconds time elapsed After: Performance counter stats for 'ls': 1.056734 task-clock-msecs # 0.859 CPUs 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 259 page-faults # 0.245 M/sec 3345932 cycles # 3166.295 M/sec 3074090 instructions # 0.919 IPC 616928 branches # 583.806 M/sec 39279 branch-misses # 6.367 % 21312 cache-references # 20.168 M/sec 3661 cache-misses # 3.464 M/sec 0.001230551 seconds time elapsed (also prettify the printout of branch misses, in case it's getting scaled.)
