Subject: [PATCH 09/10] perf tools: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership for trace
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 21:47:18 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427982439-27388-10-git-send-email-yunlong.song@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427982439-27388-1-git-send-email-yunlong.song@huawei.com>
Enable perf trace to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root.
Example:
# perf trace record ls
# chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
# ls -al perf.data
-rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4153101 Apr 2 15:28 perf.data
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
Before this patch:
# perf trace -i perf.data
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf trace -i perf.data -f
Error: unknown switch `f'
usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
--event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list
available events
--comm show the thread COMM next to its id
--tool_stats show tool stats
-e, --expr <expr> list of events to trace
-o, --output <file> output file name
-i, --input <file> Analyze events in file
-p, --pid <pid> trace events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> trace events on existing thread id
--filter-pids <float>
...
As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.
After this patch:
# perf trace -i perf.data
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf trace -i perf.data -f

0.220 ( 0.007 ms): ls/47325 open(filename: 0x7f312599e8ff, ...
...
...
As shown above, the -f option really works now.
