perf lock: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf lock to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root. Example: # perf lock record ls # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data # ls -al perf.data -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4880686 Apr 2 14:14 perf.data # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11) Before this patch: # perf lock report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) Initializing perf session failed # perf lock report -f Error: unknown switch `f' usage: perf lock report [<options>] -k, --key <acquired> key for sorting (acquired / contended / avg_wait / wait_total / wait_max / wait_min) As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. After this patch: # perf lock report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) Initializing perf session failed # perf lock report -f Name acquired contended avg wait (ns) total wait (ns) ... &ldata->output_l... 128 0 0 0 ... &ctx->lock 114 0 0 0 ... &p->pi_lock 112 0 0 0 ... &(&pool->lock)->... 112 0 0 0 ... &(&dentry->d_loc... 70 0 0 0 ... &(&newf->file_lo... 62 0 0 0 ... &(&fs->lock)->rl... 43 0 0 0 ... ... As shown above, the -f option really works now.
