Subject[PATCH v0 11/71] perf tools: Add perf_event_paranoid()
Date
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

Add a function to return the value of
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

This will be used to determine default
values for mmap size because perf is not
subject to mmap limits when
perf_event_paranoid is less than zero.
