Subject: perf script: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06af0f2c919d7c8f05efebe0d96a6f22297aafd4;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

perf script: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership

Enable perf script to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root. Change the short option name of --fields to -F to avoid confusion
with --force.

Example:

 # perf record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28360 Apr  2 14:53 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

 # perf script
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf script -f
   Error: switch `f' requires a value

  usage: perf script [<options>]
     or: perf script [<options>] record <script> [<record-options>] <command>
     or: perf script [<options>] report <script> [script-args]
     or: perf script [<options>] <script> [<record-options>] <command>
     or: perf script [<options>] <top-script> [script-args]

     -f, --fields <str>    comma separated output fields prepend with
     'type:'. Valid types: hw,sw,trace,raw. Fields:
     comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,trace,ip,sym,dso,addr,symoff,period

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. And -f is already
taken up by --fields, which makes --force confused, so change the short
option name of --fields to -F like what other perf commands do (e.g.
perf report -F) and use -f as the short option name of --force.

After this patch:

 # perf script

 # perf script -f

     ls 41298 2590086.567448:    1706255 cycles:            406ae0
     [unknown] (/usr/bin/ls)

As shown above, the -f option really works now.
