    perf tools: Check perf.data owner · fa6963b2
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Add an owner check to opening perf.data files and a switch to
    silence it.
    
    Because perf-report/perf-annotate are binary parsers reading
    another users' perf.data file could be a security risk if the
    file were explicitly engineered to trigger bugs in the parser
    (we hope of course there are non such bugs, but you never
    know).
