events were lost, the trace is incomplete. You should enlarge the buffers and
try again. Buffers are enlarged by first seeing how large the current buffers
are:
-$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+$ cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
gives you a number. Approximately double this number and write it back, for
instance:

Then start again from the top.
If you are doing a trace for a driver project, e.g. Nouveau, you should also
