Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 07/43] tools/power turbostat: Fix warning upon failed /dev/cpu_dma_latency read
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 19:13:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240422231521.1592991-7-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240422231521.1592991-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit b6fe938317eed58e8c687bd5965a956e15fb5828 ]
Previously a failed read of /dev/cpu_dma_latency erroneously complained
turbostat: capget(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) failed, try "# setcap cap_sys_admin=ep ./turbostat
This went unnoticed because this file is typically visible to root,
and turbostat was typically run as root.
Going forward, when a non-root user can run turbostat...
Complain about failed read access to this file only if --debug is used.
