Commit:d2878d642a("perf/x86/intel/bts: Disallow use by unprivileged users on paranoid systems") ... adds a privilege check in the exactly wrong place in the event init path: after the 'LBR exclusive' reference has been taken, and doesn't release it in the case of insufficient privileges. After this, nobody in the system gets to use PT or LBR afterwards. This patch moves the privilege check to where it should have been in the first place.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
