Before: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid 2 2 $ perf record sleep 1 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. Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec). Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.
