Hi,

I checked it and for Haswell there is no event BR_MISP_RETIRED_ALL_BRANCHES in 
LIKWID. But there are two events that should measure the same stuff: 
BR_MISP_RETIRED_ALL_BRANCHES_1 and BR_MISP_RETIRED_ALL_BRANCHES_2
I re-checked the documentation and there are two event masks for the event 
BR_MISP_RETIRED_ALL_BRANCHES, that's why LIKWID provides both events but they 
use different event configuration. Since I will not release a fix for Likwid 
3.1.3, you can fix it yourself in groups/haswell/BRANCH.txt and recompile 
Likwid. For the upcomming version 4, I corrected the issue.

Also ICACHE works fine with Likwid 4.
