Subject: RE: [PATCH 2/3] perf: Use CAP_SYS_ADMIN with perf_event_paranoid checks

Message-ID: <cd2b162a59804cdaa7f4de18c3337aa8@ustx2ex-dag1mb5.msg.corp.akamai.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190716084744.GB22317@krava>
I could add another patch to the series for that. Any suggestion for what capability to check for here?
(There is always an alternative to not check for anything and let the kernel refuse to perform actions that the user does not have permissions to perform.)

I see another geteuid check in __cmd_ftrace,
