Igor Lubashev aa97293ff1 perf evsel: Kernel profiling is disallowed only when perf_event_paranoid > 1
Perf was too restrictive about sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid. The
kernel only disallows profiling when perf_event_paranoid > 1. Make perf
do the same.

Committer testing:

For a non-root user:

  $ id
  uid=1000(acme) gid=1000(acme) groups=1000(acme),10(wheel) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
  $

Before:

We were restricting it to just userspace (:u suffix) even for a
workload started by the user:

  $ perf record sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles:u
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1
  $ perf report --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 8  of event 'cycles:u'
  # Event count (approx.): 1040396
  #
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
  # ........  .......  ................  ......................
  #
      68.36%  sleep    libc-2.29.so      [.] _dl_addr
      27.33%  sleep    ld-2.29.so        [.] dl_main
       3.80%  sleep    ld-2.29.so        [.] _dl_setup_hash
  #
  # (Tip: Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline)
  #
  $
  $

After:

When the kernel allows profiling the kernel in that scenario:

  $ perf record sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1
  $
  $ perf report --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 11  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 1601964
  #
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
  # ........  .......  ................  ..........................
  #
      28.14%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __rb_erase_color
      27.21%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] unmap_page_range
      27.20%  sleep    ld-2.29.so        [.] __tunable_get_val
      15.24%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] thp_get_unmapped_area

       0.00%  perf     [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] native_write_msr
  #
  # (Tip: Boolean options have negative forms, e.g.: perf report --no-children)
