Improves the situation, but kptr_restrict=2 still causes a segfault:


[root@...et ~]# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 
[root@...et ~]# perf record usleep 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@...et ~]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 
[root@...et ~]# perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
[root@...et ~]# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 
[root@...et ~]# perf record usleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted,
check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@...et ~]# 

Applying your patch and then investigating this other one.

Thanks,

- Arnaldo
