[ Upstream commit 119a784c81270eb88e573174ed2209225d646656 ]
Sometimes we want to know an accurate number of samples even if it's
lost. Currenlty PERF_RECORD_LOST is generated for a ring-buffer which
might be shared with other events. So it's hard to know per-event
lost count.
Add event->lost_samples field and PERF_FORMAT_LOST to retrieve it from
userspace.

commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06 upstream.
Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children
(inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum
non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results.
Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and
adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of
events as inherited groups.
This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert
perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list.
Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each
sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of
the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the
child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group
composition becomes evident.
That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not
equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense.
(Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group
composition.
