Subject: [PATCH 8/9] oprofile: fix lost sample counter
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:42:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1229013723-8191-9-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1229013723-8191-1-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com>

The number of lost samples could be greater than the number of
received samples. This patches fixes this. The implementation
introduces return values for add_sample() and add_code().
