1. A method comprising: storing, by a processor, prior to a transactional execution, a value of a first event counter employed to count events associated with the processor; restoring the first event counter to the stored value after aborting the transactional execution; causing the first event counter to resume counting events using the stored value as a base count; and determining, in response to terminating the transactional execution, a number of events that occurred during the transactional execution, using the stored value of the first event counter, a current value of the first event counter, and a value of a second event counter employed to count events prior to and during the transactional execution, wherein the second event counter is to increment without resetting after the transactional execution is terminated.
