      perf stat: Fallback to user only counters when perf_event_paranoid > 1 · 42ef8a78
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      After 0161028b ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2")
      'perf stat' fails for users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so just use
      'perf_evsel__fallback()' to have the same behaviour as 'perf record',
      i.e. set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.
      
      Now:
      
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat usleep 1
      
         Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

      perf evsel: Handle EACCESS + perf_event_paranoid=2 in fallback() · 08094828
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Now with the default for the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl being 2 [1]
      we need to fall back to :u, i.e. to set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel
      to 1.
      
      Before:
      
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record usleep 1
        Error:
        You may not have permission to collect stats.
      
        Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
        which controls use of the performance events system by
        unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
      
        The current value is 2:
      
          -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
        >= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
        >= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
        >= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
        [acme@jouet linux]$
      
      After:
      
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record usleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf evlist
        cycles:u
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf evlist -v
        cycles:u: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
        [acme@jouet linux]$
      
      And if the user turns on verbose mode, an explanation will appear:
      
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record -v usleep 1

      perf evsel: Improve EPERM error handling in open_strerror() · 7d173913
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We were showing a hardcoded default value for the kernel.perf_event_paranoid
      sysctl, now that it became more paranoid (1 -> 2 [1]), this would need to be
      updated, instead show the current value:
      
        [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record ls
