Implement selinux sysfs check to see the system is in enforcing
mode and print warning message with pointer to check audit logs.
There were some changes in this area meanwhile, so I had to apply the
evsel.c by hand, when I push this please double check everything is ok,
Will do. I appreciate your integrating effort.
Checked at tmp.perf/core branch. The message looks like this:

[root@nntvtune39 acme.tmp]# tools/perf/perf stat
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
Enforced MAC policy settings (SELinux) can limit access to performance
monitoring and observability operations. Inspect system audit records for
more perf_event access control information and adjusting the policy.
Consider adjusting /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid setting to open
access to performance monitoring and observability operations for users
without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN Linux capability.
perf_event_paranoid setting is 2:
  -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
      Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
= 0: Disallow raw and ftrace function tracepoint access
= 1: Disallow CPU event access
= 2: Disallow kernel profiling
To make the adjusted perf_event_paranoid setting permanent preserve it
in /etc/sysctl.conf (e.g. kernel.perf_event_paranoid = <setting>)

Edited patch at security.txt didn't apply cleanly. It requires white space
prior tab in the first block for wake_alarm etc till perfmon:
