btw., you might also want to try measuring only the basics:

-e cycles -e instructions -e branches -e branch-misses

that should give you 100% in the last column and should also allow
you to double check whether all the PMU counts are correct: is it
the expected number of instructions, expected number of branches,
expected number of branch-misses, etc.

Then you can remove branch stats and add just L1-dcache stats - and
still be 100% covered:

-e cycles -e instructions -e L1-dcache-loads -e L1-dcache-load-misses

etc.

Just so that you can trust what the PMU tells you. Prefetch counts
are sometimes off, they might include speculative activities, etc.

Thanks,

Ingo
