Third part changes predictors values: 1) PRED_LOOP_EXIT: no dominant branch; value simply taken from statistics 2) PRED_LOOP_EXIT_WITH_RECURSION: there are 4 dominant edges; value taken w/o these edges 3) PRED_LOOP_EXTRA_EXIT: there's one really dominant edge; value taken w/o the edge; note that coverage of the predictor is quite small 4) PRED_OPCODE_POSITIVE: no dominant branch; value simply taken from statistics 5) PRED_CONST_RETURN: there are 4 dominant edges, value taken w/o these edges 6) PRED_NULL_RETURN: one dominant edge, value taken w/o these edges 7) PRED_LOOP_IV_COMPARE_GUESS: very fragile predictor (according how is identified in predict.c); has a dominant edge; value taken w/o these edges; in future I plan to investigate it 8) PRED_LOOP_GUARD: adjusted based on numbers without a one dominant edge
