Yes, sure. Steps to extend FC31 Targeted policy for testing perf_events access control:

* download selinux-policy srpm [1]: selinux-policy-3.14.4-48.fc31.src.rpm on my FC31

* install srpm - it creates rpmbuild dir: 
  [root at host ~]# rpm -Uhv selinux-policy-3.14.4-48.fc31.src.rpm

* get into rpmbuild/SPECS dir and unpack sources:
  [root at host ~]# rpmbuild -bp selinux-policy.spec

* Place patch below at rpmbuild/BUILD/selinux-policy-b86eaaf4dbcf2d51dd4432df7185c0eaf3cbcc02
  dir and apply it:
  [root at host ~]# patch -p1 < selinux-policy-perf-events-perfmon.patch

  [root at host ~]#

 * get into rpmbuild/SPECS dir and build policy packages from patched sources: 
   [root at host ~]# rpmbuild --noclean --noprep -ba selinux-policy.spec
   so you have this:
   [root at host ~]# ls -alh rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/

   -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  14M Mar 20 12:17 selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.4-48.fc31.noarch.rpm

 * install SELinux packages from FC repo [2], if not already done so, and 
   update with the patched rpms above:
   [root at host ~]# rpm -Uhv rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/selinux-policy-*

 * there are also packages providing GUI interface and visualizing SELinux management
   [root at host ~]# dnf install policycoreutils-gui

 * enable SELinux Permissive mode for Targeted policy, if not already done so:
   [root at host ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config
   # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
   # SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
   #     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
   #     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
   #     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
   SELINUX=permissive
   # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these three values:
   #     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
   #     minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected. 
   #     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
   SELINUXTYPE=targeted

 * enable filesystem SELinux labeling at the next reboot
   [root at host ~]# touch /.autorelabel

 * reboot machine and it will label filesystems and load Targeted policy into the kernel

 * login and check that dmesg output doesn't mention that perf_event class is unknown to SELinux subsystem

 * check that SELinux is enabled and in Permissive mode
   [root at host ~]# getenforce
   Permissive

 * turn SELinux into Enforcing mode:
   [root at host ~]# setenforce 1
   [root at host ~]# getenforce
   Enforcing

 * Now the machine is enabled to test the patch

--- If something went wrong ---

* To turn SELinux into Permissive mode: setenforce 0
* To fully disable SELinux during kernel boot [3] set kernel command line parameter: selinux=0
* To remove SELinux labeling from local filesystems: find / -mount -print0 | xargs -0 setfattr -h -x security.selinux
* To fully turn SELinux off a machine set SELINUX=disabled at /etc/selinux/config file and reboot
