Subject: perf test: AMD IBS swfilt skip kernel tests if paranoia is >1
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e3501212293c5005873c6ca6bb4f963a7eec442;p=users%2Fhch%2Fmisc.git

perf test: AMD IBS swfilt skip kernel tests if paranoia is >1

If not root and the perf_event_paranoid is set >1 swfilt will fail to
open the event failing the test. Add check to skip the test in that
case.

Fixes: 0e71bcdcf1f0b10b ("perf test: Add AMD IBS sw filter test")
