1132reasons, one of which is a partial flag register stall. A partial register
1133stall may occur when two conditions are met: 1) an instruction modifies
1134some, but not all, of the flags in the flag register and 2) the next
1135instruction, which depends on flags, depends on flags that were not modified
1136by this instruction.
1137.It Li RAT_STALLS.REGISTERS
1138.Pq Event D2H , Umask 02H
1139This event counts the number of cycles instruction execution latency became

1141was partially written by previous instruction.
1142.It Li RAT_STALLS.ROB_READ_PORT
1143.Pq Event D2H , Umask 04H
1144Counts the number of cycles when ROB read port stalls occurred, which did
1145not allow new micro-ops to enter the out-of-order pipeline. Note that, at
1146this stage in the pipeline, additional stalls may occur at the same cycle
1147and prevent the stalled micro-ops from entering the pipe. In such a case,
1148micro-ops retry entering the execution pipe in the next cycle and the
1149ROB-read port stall is counted again.
1150.It Li RAT_STALLS.SCOREBOARD
1151.Pq Event D2H , Umask 08H
1152Counts the cycles where we stall due to microarchitecturally required
1153serialization. Microcode scoreboarding stalls.

1158execution pipe. Cycles when partial register stalls occurred Cycles when
1159flag stalls occurred Cycles floating-point unit (FPU) status word stalls
1160occurred. To count each of these conditions separately use the events:
1161RAT_STALLS.ROB_READ_PORT, RAT_STALLS.PARTIAL, RAT_STALLS.FLAGS, and
1162RAT_STALLS.FPSW.

1164.Pq Event D4H , Umask 01H
1165Counts the number of stall cycles due to the lack of renaming resources for
1166the ES, DS, FS, and GS segment registers. If a segment is renamed but not
1167retired and a second update to the same segment occurs, a stall occurs in
1168the front-end of the pipeline until the renamed segment retires.
1169.It Li ES_REG_RENAMES
1170.Pq Event D5H , Umask 01H
1171Counts the number of times the ES segment register is renamed.
1172.It Li UOP_UNFUSION

1185Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide a correct prediction and this is
1186corrected by the Branch Address Calculator at the front end. This can occur
1187if the code has many branches such that they cannot be consumed by the BPU.
1188Each BACLEAR asserted by the BAC generates approximately an 8 cycle bubble
1189in the instruction fetch pipeline. The effect on total execution time
1190depends on the surrounding code.
1191.It Li BACLEAR.BAD_TARGET
1192.Pq Event E6H , Umask 02H
1193Counts number of Branch Address Calculator clears (BACLEAR) asserted due to
1194conditional branch instructions in which there was a target hit but the
1195direction was wrong. Each BACLEAR asserted by the BAC generates
1196approximately an 8 cycle bubble in the instruction fetch pipeline.
1197.It Li BPU_CLEARS.EARLY
1198.Pq Event E8H , Umask 01H
1199Counts early (normal) Branch Prediction Unit clears: BPU predicted a taken
