Microarchitecture Exploration with Stacks

571 Views

I'm trying to find which functions are the worst offenders for things like branch prediction misses. I tried the Microarchitecture Exploration analysis, but this doesn't collect stacks, so I cannot see what most of these function are or who calls them.

I then tried a custom analysis based on Microarchitecture Exploration, but with software stacks enabled. This reports incorrect results - e.g. Bad Speculation/Machine Clears is 100%, MUX Reliability is N/A. These have sensible values when using Microarchitecture Exploration.

Is there a setting I'm missing?
