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.
