Subject: perf_counter: Allow mmap if paranoid checks are turned off
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=459ec28ab404d7afcd512ce9b855959ad301605a;p=linux-beck.git

perf_counter: Allow mmap if paranoid checks are turned off

Before:

  $ perf sched record -f sleep 1
  Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)

After:

  $ perf sched record -f sleep 1
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.095 MB perf.data (~4161 samples) ]

Note, this is only allowed if perfcounter_paranoid is set to
the most permissive (non-default) value of -1.
