perf evlist: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf evlist 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 10:18 perf.data
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
Before this patch:
# perf evlist
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf evlist -f
Error: unknown switch `f'
usage: perf evlist [<options>]
-i, --input <file> Input file name
-F, --freq Show the sample frequency
-v, --verbose Show all event attr details
-g, --group Show event group information
As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.
After this patch:
# perf evlist
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf evlist -f
cycles
As shown above, the -f option really works now.
