[PATCH 10/41] perf tools: Fix CLOEXEC probe for perf_event_paranoid == 2

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Aug 13 2014 - 18:49:30 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

With /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid set to 2, the probe of
PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC would fail. Fix by excluding kernel profiling from
the probe event.
