[PATCH v4 4/9] drm/i915/perf: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process

From: Alexey Budankov
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 04:27:30 EST



Open access to i915_perf monitoring for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged
processes. For backward compatibility reasons access to i915_perf
subsystem remains open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but
CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage for secure i915_perf monitoring is discouraged
with respect to CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability.
