perf inject: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf inject to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root. Example: # perf record ls # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data # ls -al perf.data -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28260 Apr 2 10:37 perf.data # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11) Before this patch: # perf inject -v -b -i perf.data -o perf.data.new File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf inject -v -b -i perf.data -o perf.data.new -f Error: unknown switch `f' usage: perf inject [<options>] -b, --build-ids Inject build-ids into the output stream -i, --input <file> input file name -o, --output <file> output file name -s, --sched-stat Merge sched-stat and sched-switch for getting events where and how long tasks slept -v, --verbose be more verbose (show build ids, etc) --kallsyms <file> kallsyms pathname As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. After this patch: # perf inject -v -b -i perf.data -o perf.data.new File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf inject -v -b -i perf.data -o perf.data.new -f build id event received for [kernel.kallsyms]: f6dcb66d8b98f1c0d9eb87bf043444b69f91d30c symsrc__init: cannot get elf header. Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long) Using /proc/kcore for kernel object code Using /proc/kallsyms for symbols As shown above, the -f option really works now.
