perf kmem: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf kmem to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root. Example: # perf kmem record ls # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data # ls -al perf.data -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5315665 Apr 2 10:54 perf.data # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11) Before this patch: # perf kmem stat File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf kmem stat -f Error: unknown switch `f' usage: perf kmem [<options>] {record|stat} -i, --input <file> input file name -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) --caller show per-callsite statistics --alloc show per-allocation statistics -s, --sort <key[,key2...]> sort by keys: ptr, call_site, bytes, hit, pingpong, frag -l, --line <num> show n lines --raw-ip show raw ip instead of symbol As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. After this patch: # perf kmem stat File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf kmem stat -f SUMMARY ======= Total bytes requested: 437599 Total bytes allocated: 615472 Total bytes wasted on internal fragmentation: 177873 Internal fragmentation: 28.900259% Cross CPU allocations: 6/1192 As shown above, the -f option really works now.
