Subject: [PATCH v1] perf report: Fix owner error when reading perf.data
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2015 18:03:34 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443690214-1194-1-git-send-email-treeze.taeung@gmail.com> (raw)

If perf.data file is owned by some user,
it can't be read even if current user is root.
A 'st_uid' from fstat() is user ID of the file owner.
Therefore use getuid() instead of st_uid to check if
user of the calling 'perf' process is root or not.
