If you look at an image profile on the HMC there is a security tab. Under that tab there is an option called "Global performance data control". By default it is checked (on). If you are a service provider and share your CPC(s) with multiple clients, that is when you would want to turn it off. I remember learning about the option on the first box I used LPARs with (3090J I think), so it has been there as long as PR/SM has been around.
