    perf sched replay: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership · f0dd330f
    Yunlong Song authored
    Enable to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root.
    
    Example:
    
     $ ls -al perf.data
     -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5321918 Mar 25 15:14 perf.data
     $ sudo id
     uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
    
    Before this patch:
    
     $ sudo perf sched replay -f
     run measurement overhead: 98 nsecs
     sleep measurement overhead: 52909 nsecs
     the run test took 1000015 nsecs
     the sleep test took 1054253 nsecs
     File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
    
    As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.
    
    After this patch:
    
     $ sudo perf sched replay -f
     run measurement overhead: 221 nsecs
     sleep measurement overhead: 40514 nsecs
     the run test took 1000003 nsecs
     the sleep test took 1056098 nsecs

    As shown above, the -f option really works now.
    
    Besides for replay, -f option can also work for latency and map.
