perf evsel: Set attr.exclude_kernel when probing max attr.precise_ip
We should set attr.exclude_kernel when probing for attr.precise_ip level, otherwise !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users will not default to skidless samples in capable hardware. The increase in the paranoid level in commit0161028b7c
("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2") broke this, fix it by excluding kernel samples when probing. Before: $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (6 samples) ] $ perf evlist -v cycles:u: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1 After: $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ] $ perf evlist -v cycles:ppp: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1, precise_ip: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ $ To further clarify: we always set .exclude_kernel when non !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users profile, its just on the attr.precise_ip probing that we weren't doing so, fix it.
