For virtualization, all counter usages are virtualized by KVM. Thus,
the hypervisor
remains in complete control.

That would require rebuild/reinstallation of the kernel for users with
root privileges
to enable these. Distros can disable the access by setting
the default to PERF_EVENT_FLAG_NO_USER_ACCESS or PERF_EVENT_FLAG_USER_ACCESS
based on use case. But root privileges users should have a way to opt in.
As per my understanding, that's the intention behind x86/ARM64
implementation as well.
