Extend error messages to mention CAP_PERFMON capability as an option to
substitute CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for secure system performance
monitoring and observability operations. Make
perf_event_paranoid_check() and __cmd_ftrace() to be aware of
CAP_PERFMON capability.
CAP_PERFMON implements the principle of least privilege for performance
monitoring and observability operations (POSIX IEEE 1003.1e 2.2.2.39
principle of least privilege: A security design principle that states
that a process or program be granted only those privileges (e.g.,
capabilities) necessary to accomplish its legitimate function, and only
for the time that such privileges are actually required)
For backward compatibility reasons access to perf_events subsystem remains
open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage for
secure perf_events monitoring is discouraged with respect to CAP_PERFMON
capability.
Committer testing:
Using a libcap with this patch:

Note that using '38' in place of 'cap_perfmon' works to some degree with
an old libcap, its only when cap_get_flag() is called that libcap
performs an error check based on the maximum value known for
capabilities that it will fail.
This makes determining the default of perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to
fail, as it can't determine if CAP_PERFMON is in place.
Using 'perf top -e cycles' avoids the default check and sets
perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.
As root, with a libcap supporting CAP_PERFMON:

# adduser perf -g perf_users
# mkdir ~perf/bin
# cp ~acme/bin/perf ~perf/bin/
# chgrp perf_users ~perf/bin/perf

Either add the cap_ipc_lock capability to the perf binary or reduce the
ring buffer size to some smaller value:
$ perf top -m10 -a --stdio
