If we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' with non-root account (even set
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 yet), it reports the error:
jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
Perhaps the ptrace rule doesn't allow to trace some processes. But anyway
the global --per-thread mode had better ignore such errors and continue
working on other threads.
This patch will record the index of error thread in perf_evsel__open()
and remove this thread before retrying.
For example (run with non-root, kernel.perf_event_paranoid isn't set):
jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread
