From 65b4037862eeec836fef612bbcd558ea10efe1a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 12:51:11 -0500 Subject: perf/ftrace: Fix paranoid level for enabling function tracer commit 12ae030d54ef250706da5642fc7697cc60ad0df7 upstream. The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has "perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that use it, access to normal users. Unfortunately, this includes function tracing and normal users should not be allowed to enable function tracing by default. The proper level is defined at "-1" (full perf access), which "perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" will only give access to. Use that check instead for enabling function tracing.
