There were some changes in this area meanwhile, so I had to apply the
evsel.c by hand, when I push this please double check everything is ok,

Will do. I appreciate your integrating effort.

Checked at tmp.perf/core branch. The message looks like this:

[root@nntvtune39 acme.tmp]# tools/perf/perf stat
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
Enforced MAC policy settings (SELinux) can limit access to performance
monitoring and observability operations. Inspect system audit records for
more perf_event access control information and adjusting the policy.
Consider adjusting /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid setting to open
access to performance monitoring and observability operations for users
without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN Linux capability.
perf_event_paranoid setting is 2:
  -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
      Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow raw and ftrace function tracepoint access
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling
To make the adjusted perf_event_paranoid setting permanent preserve it
in /etc/sysctl.conf (e.g. kernel.perf_event_paranoid = <setting>)

Edited patch at security.txt didn't apply cleanly. It requires white space
prior tab in the first block for wake_alarm etc till perfmon:

I see, I'll leave it there then so that it applies cleanly to those
policy files.
