VFP 'bouncing' occurs when the VFP unit cannot complete the execution of
a VFP instruction, either because it is not implemented at all, or
because the values of the arguments are out of range for the hardware
implementation, and the software needs to step in to complete the
operation.
To give some insight in how much certain programs rely on this bouncing,
record the emulation of a VFP instruction in perf's emulation-faults
counter.
This can be used like so
perf stat -e emulation-faults ./testfloat -all2
and the output will be something like
Performance counter stats for './testfloat -all2':
259,277 emulation-faults:u
