[08:10] <luna_> Hello are you building the 5.9.9 kernel ?
[08:11] <luna_> seems files are missing here: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.9.9/
[17:19] <Igloo> Hi all! I'm seeing lots of FAILEDs when running "perf test" (https://pastebin.com/ePSs9Cpe); is that expected?
[17:20] <Igloo> I tried setting /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to 0 for the first one, but it didn't seem to help
[17:57] <Igloo> Setting /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid has fixed /(or skipped) some of them
[19:59] <tomreyn> Igloo: did you run it as root?
[21:29] <Igloo> tomreyn: No
[21:30] <Igloo> If "perf test" needs to be run as root, does that mean that I have to run "perf stat"/"perf record" as root too?
[21:31] <sarnold> I sometimes chowned the files to my user account so I could skip sudo on those
[21:31] <Igloo> Which files?
[21:31] <sarnold> maybe you could change root's umask to let it create the files world readable, I never tried that one
[21:32] <sarnold> oh I appear to have misread the quesation, I assumed it was 'perf record' followed by 'perf report' etc..
