[PATCH v3 0/3] Enable perf tracing for unprivileged users

[Anubhav Shelat]

Enable users to use perf-trace to trace their own processes, like strace
but without the overhead of ptrace(). Ensure that users cannot access
other users' or systemwide tracing data.

Changes in v3:
- Don't set PERF_SAMPLE_IP for unprivileged tracepoints. This allows us
  to exclude PERF_SAMPLE_IP from kaddr_leak without weakening KASLR.
- Mount tracefs as world-traversable so users can access eventfs
  directories.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260410133529.21947-1-ashelat@xxxxxxxxxx/

Anubhav Shelat (3):
  perf evsel: don't set PERF_SAMPLE_IP for unprivileged tracepoints
  perf: enable unprivileged syscall tracing with perf trace
  tracefs: make root directory world-traversable
