  [GIT PULL] perf fix Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> - 2016-05-10 13:50 +0200

#1398014 — [GIT PULL] perf fix

Linus,

Please pull the latest perf-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: 93193230f7b8bd484d1749f4044d1214d521c804 perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2

Bump up the default perf paranoia level to 2 because otherwise perf can be used by 
local users to defeat KASLR, amongst other things.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
