would it be possible to modify the /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to 1 to enable CPU profiling

[SjxSubham]

Yes, you can modify the /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid value to 1 to enable CPU profiling. This setting allows non-root users to access performance events data, which is useful for profiling applications.

To change this value temporarily, you can use the following command:

sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid'

For a permanent change, you can add the following line to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:

kernel.perf_event_paranoid=1

Then, apply the changes with:

sudo sysctl -p

both of those methods result in a read only fs error
