[PATCH bpf-next 4/5] libbpf: Set read_format PERF_FORMAT_LOST on kprobe perf fds

From: Daniel Xu
Date: Tue Sep 17 2019 - 09:31:51 EST


There is no way to get the nmissed count from kprobes that are created
using the perf API. The previous commits added read_format support for
this count. Enable it in this commit.
