@ -687,7 +687,7 @@ The v4.2 kernel introduced support for a context switch metadata event,
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH, which allows unprivileged users to see when their processes
are scheduled out and in, just not by whom, which is left for the
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE, that is only accessible in system wide context,
which in turn requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
which in turn requires CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
