    This allows the shell user to control whether unprivileged access to
    perf events is allowed.
    
    To enable unprivileged access to perf:
    
        adb shell setprop security.perf_harden 0
    
    To disable it again:
    
        adb shell setprop security.perf_harden 1
    
    This allows Android to disable this kernel attack surface by default,
    while still allowing profiling tools to work automatically. It can also
    be manually toggled, but most developers won't ever need to do that if
    tools end up incorporating this.
