Before this patch, a simple 'perf record' could fail if kptr_restrict is set to 1 (for normal user) or 2 (for root): # perf record ls 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) This patch skips perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() when kptr is not available.
