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.
