perf timechart: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf timechart to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root. Example: # perf timechart record ls # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data # ls -al perf.data -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5471744 Apr 2 15:15 perf.data # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11) Before this patch: # perf timechart File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf timechart -f Error: unknown switch `f' usage: perf timechart [<options>] {record} -i, --input <file> input file name -o, --output <file> output file name -w, --width <n> page width --highlight <duration or task name> highlight tasks. Pass duration in ns or process name. -P, --power-only output power data only -T, --tasks-only output processes data only -p, --process <process> process selector. Pass a pid or process name. --symfs <directory> Look for files with symbols relative to this directory -n, --proc-num <n> min. number of tasks to print -t, --topology sort CPUs according to topology --io-skip-eagain skip EAGAIN errors --io-min-time <time> all IO faster than min-time will visually appear longer --io-merge-dist <time> merge events that are merge-dist us apart As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. After this patch: # perf timechart File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf timechart -f Written 0.0 seconds of trace to output.svg. # cat output.svg <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="1000" height="10110" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <defs> <style type="text/css"> <![CDATA[ rect { stroke-width: 1; } ... ... As shown above, the -f option really works now.
