perf stat: Add branch performance metric
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 % Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl LKML-Reference: <20091018112923.GQ4808@kryten> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
