What about tracefs?  On my system, tracefs is mounted on
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing thus I cannot access trace events after
remounting debugfs with mode=755.

Also, IIRC tracepoint events adds PERF_SAMPLE_RAW bit automatically,
and it requires perf_event_paranoid being -1 for non-root user, right?

Thanks,
