If 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: -$ echo 0 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enabled -$ echo 128000 > /debug/tracing/trace_entries -$ echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enabled +$ echo 128000 > /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb Then start again from the top.
