Merged

Conversation
…ythonGH-150012) When running profiling on Linux without sudo, attempts to read process memory would fail with the misleading error 'Failed to find the PyRuntime section in process <pid> on Linux platform'. The actual issue is a permissions error because profiling was not run with sudo. We were clearing the exception on Linux when trying to read memory, instead, we should bubble up the permissions error and show it properly.
