  libbpf: section(6) version, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1
  libbpf: kernel version of tools/perf/examples/bpf/etcsnoop.c is 41200
  libbpf: section(7) .symtab, size 120, link 1, flags 0, type=2
  bpf: config program 'syscalls:sys_enter_openat'
  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Operation not permitted
  libbpf: failed to load program 'syscalls:sys_enter_openat'
  libbpf: failed to load object 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/etcsnoop.c'
