perf evsel: Improve EPERM error handling in open_strerror()
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
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]$
