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]$ [1] 0161028b7c8a ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2") Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: David Ahern <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Kees Cook <[email protected]> Cc: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Wang Nan <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
