Rename the perf_counter_priv knob to perf_counter_paranoia (because priv can be read as private, as opposed to privileged) and provide one more level: 0 - permissive 1 - restrict cpu counters to privilidged contexts 2 - restrict kernel-mode code counting and profiling Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
