As I usually send you signed tag pull releases, I made one of those too:

    perf/ftrace: Fix paranoid level for enabling function tracer
    
    The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has
    "perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that
    use it, access to normal users. Unfortunately, this includes function
    tracing and normal users should not be allowed to enable function
    tracing by default.
    
    The proper level is defined at "-1" (full perf access), which
    "perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" will only give access to. Use that
    check instead for enabling function tracing.
