Unless the test program is the only one on the system,
there are other programs which will affect the pagefault
of the test program,  since the pages of those other programs
affect the resident pages of the test program.

AFAICT, there is no direct means of saying which instructions
caused page faults ... things like /sbin/time can report
total page faults only.

Why are you specifically interested in page faults?
