perf evsel: Set attr.exclude_kernel when probing max attr.precise_ip
We should set attr.exclude_kernel when probing for attr.precise_ip
level, otherwise !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users will not default to skidless
samples in capable hardware.
The increase in the paranoid level in commit
0161028b7c8a ("perf/core:
Change the default paranoia level to 2") broke this, fix it by excluding
kernel samples when probing.
Before:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:u: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1
After:
$ 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) ]
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1, precise_ip: 3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To further clarify: we always set .exclude_kernel when non !CAP_SYS_ADMIN
users profile, its just on the attr.precise_ip probing that we weren't doing
so, fix it.
