perf mem: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf mem to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root. Example: # perf mem -t load record ls # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data # ls -al perf.data -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 16392 Apr 2 14:34 perf.data # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11) Before this patch: # perf mem -D report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf mem -D -f report Error: unknown switch `f' usage: perf mem [<options>] {record|report} -t, --type <type> memory operations(load,store) Default load,store -D, --dump-raw-samples dump raw samples in ASCII -U, --hide-unresolved Only display entries resolved to a symbol -i, --input <file> input file name -C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to profile -x, --field-separator <separator> separator for columns, no spaces will be added between columns '.' is reserved. As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. After this patch: # perf mem -D report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf mem -D -f report # PID, TID, IP, ADDR, LOCAL WEIGHT, DSRC, SYMBOL 39095 39095 0xffffffff81127e40 0x016ffff887f45148338 8 0x68100142 /proc/kcore:perf_event_aux 39095 39095 0xffffffff8100a3fe 0xffff89007f8cb7d0 6 0x68100142 /proc/kcore:native_sched_clock 39095 39095 0xffffffff81309139 0xffff88bf44c9ded8 6 0x68100142 /proc/kcore:acpi_map_lookup 39095 39095 0xffffffff810f8c4c 0xffff89007f8ccd88 6 0x68100142 /proc/kcore:rcu_nmi_exit 39095 39095 0xffffffff81136346 0xffff88fea995dd50 6 0x68100142 /proc/kcore:unlock_page 39095 39095 0xffffffff812a64a2 0xffff88fea995dcc8 6 0x68100142 /proc/kcore:half_md4_transform 39095 39095 0x7f0cf877c7e9 0x25dfb94 6 0x68100142 /lib64/libc-2.19.so:__readdir64 39095 39095 0x7f0cf87575a3 0x7f0cf9163731 6 0x68100142 /lib64/libc-2.19.so:__strcoll_l 39095 39095 0xffffffff8116910e 0xffffea01c1bfbd50 23 0x68100242 /proc/kcore:page_remove_rmap As shown above, the -f option really works now.
