From aa4a221875873d2a1f9656cb7fd7e545e952b4fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vince Weaver Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 17:54:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Comment /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to be part of user ABI Turns out that distro packages use this file as an indicator of the perf event subsystem - this is easier to check for from scripts than the existence of the system call. This is easy enough to keep around for the kernel, so add a comment to make sure it stays so.
