While testing libtracefs on the mmapped ring buffer, the test that checks if missed events are accounted for failed when using the mapped buffer. This is because the mapped page does not update the missed events that were dropped because the writer filled up the ring buffer before the reader could catch it. Add the missed events to the reader page/sub-buffer when the IOCTL is done and a new reader page is acquired. Note that all accesses to the reader_page via rb_page_commit() had to be switched to rb_page_size(), and rb_page_size() which was just a copy of rb_page_commit() but now it masks out the RB_MISSED bits. This is needed as the mapped reader page is still active in the ring buffer code and where it reads the commit field of the bpage for the size, it now must mask it otherwise the missed bits that are now set will corrupt the size returned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
