Normally only superuser/root can access perf counter data. However, superuser can set perf_stream_paranoid sysctl to 0 to allow non-privileged users to also access perf data. perf_stream_paranoid is introduced at the perf layer to allow different perf stream types to share this access mechanism. v2: Add kernel doc for non-static functions (Michal) Acked-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Acked-by: José Roberto de Souza <jose.souza@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Umesh Nerlige Ramappa <umesh.nerlige.ramappa@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ashutosh Dixit <ashutosh.dixit@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240618014609.3233427-3-ashutosh.dixit@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
