OK, I will do it.

I think current perf tool already did that.
It will print warning for any lost.
Is this what you want?
if (session->tool->lost == perf_event__process_lost &&
stats->nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST] != 0) {
ui__warning("Processed %d events and lost %d chunks!\n\n"
"Check IO/CPU overload!\n\n",
stats->nr_events[0],
stats->nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST]);
}
Thanks,
