I put something together.. still testing, but it's already
showing 0 lost events when for 'overwrite = 0' case even
for high load.. the old code shows ~1500 for same workload

I'm printing lost event counts in stdio output header:

  # perf top -d 1 --stdio
     PerfTop:    5734 irqs/sec  kernel:57.3%  exact: 100.0% lost: 0 [4000Hz cycles:ppp],  (all, 8 CPUs)

will probably add it to tui as well, seems useful

I pushed it in perf/fixes branch in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git

it's stil work in prograss.. not too manye complete changelogs ;-)
