[PATCH] perf/core: Accumulate lost samples in inherited group reads

[PATCH] perf/core: Accumulate lost samples in inherited group reads

[Avi Weiss]

`__perf_read_group_add()` accumulates event counts from inherited
child events, but overwrites the `PERF_FORMAT_LOST` fields. A
child reporting no losses therefore hides nonzero parent losses
while it is alive.

Accumulate `lost_samples` for the group leader and siblings so
group reads preserve losses across inherited events.
