• BR_MISPRED_DETAIL.NRETIND.WRONG_PATH

Number of non-return indirect branches mispredicted due to wrong branch direction.

• BR_MISPRED_DETAIL.NRETIND.WRONG_TARGET

Number of non-return indirect branches mispredicted due to wrong target for taken branch.

• BR_MISPRED_DETAIL.RETURN.CORRECT_PRED

Number of correctly predicted (outcome and target) return branches retired.

• BR_MISPRED_DETAIL.RETURN.WRONG_PATH

Number of return branches mispredicted due to wrong branch direction.

• BR_MISPRED_DETAIL.RETURN.WRONG_TARGET
