From a66734297f78707ce39d756b656bfae861d53f62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 15:58:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Add /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 to allow rdpmc for all tasks While perfmon2 is a sufficiently evil library (it pokes MSRs directly) that breaking it is fair game, it's still useful, so we might as well try to support it. This allows users to write 2 to /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc to disable all rdpmc protection so that hack like perfmon2 can continue to work. At some point, if perf_event becomes fast enough to replace perfmon2, then this can go.
