perf kvm: Support using -f to override perf.data.guest file ownership
Enable perf kvm to use perf.data.guest when it is not owned by current
user or root.
Example:
# perf kvm stat record ls
# chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data.guest
# ls -al perf.data.guest
-rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4128937 Apr 2 11:05 perf.data.guest
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
Before this patch:
# perf kvm stat report
File perf.data.guest not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
Initializing perf session failed
# perf kvm stat report -f
Error: unknown switch `f'
usage: perf kvm stat report [<options>]
--event <report event>
event for reporting: vmexit, mmio (x86 only),
ioport (x86 only)
--vcpu <n> vcpu id to report
-k, --key <sort-key> key for sorting: sample(sort by samples
number) time (sort by avg time)
-p, --pid <pid> analyze events only for given process id(s)
As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.
After this patch:
# perf kvm stat report
File perf.data.guest not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
Initializing perf session failed
# perf kvm stat report -f
Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
Total Samples:0, Total events handled time:0.00us.
As shown above, the -f option really works now. Since we have not
launched any KVM related process, the result shows 0 sample here.
