} And: static inline bool perf_paranoid_kernel(void) { return sysctl_perf_event_paranoid > 1; } So we have to change that perf_event_paranoit_check(-1) to pass 1 instead? bool perf_event_paranoid_check(int max_level) { return perf_cap__capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) || perf_event_paranoid() <= max_level; } Also you defined perf_cap__capable(anything) as: #ifdef HAVE_LIBCAP_SUPPORT #include bool perf_cap__capable(cap_value_t cap); #else static inline bool perf_cap__capable(int cap __maybe_unused) { return false; } #endif /* HAVE_LIBCAP_SUPPORT */ I think we should have: #else static inline bool perf_cap__capable(int cap __maybe_unused) { return geteuid() == 0; } #endif /* HAVE_LIBCAP_SUPPORT */ Right? So I am removing the introduction of perf_cap__capable() from the first patch you sent, leaving it with _only_ the feature detection part, using that feature detection to do anything is then moved to a separate patch, after we finish this discussion about what we should fallback to when libcap-devel isn't available, i.e. we should use the previous checks, etc. - Arnaldo _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
