Subject: [PATCH] perf config: Fix a bug about permission checking state of config file
Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 05:20:56 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1475180456-5624-1-git-send-email-aweee0@gmail.com> (raw)
perf_config_set__init() check state of user config file
before opening it. But there is a bug when checking uid
and euid of current user. Although current user have superuser
permission, a error occurs as below.
Before:
user01@localhost:~$ ls -l ~/.perfconfig
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user01 user01 89 2016-09-30 01:52 /home/user01/.perfconfig
user01@localhost:~/linux-perf/tools/perf/util$ sudo perf config --list
Warning: File /home/user01/.perfconfig not owned by current user or root, ignoring it.
Warning: File /home/user01/.perfconfig not owned by current user or root, ignoring it.
So, Fix it allowing a user who have superuser permission
to open user config file.
After:
user01@localhost:~$ ls -l ~/.perfconfig
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user01 user01 89 2016-09-30 01:52 /home/user01/.perfconfig
user01@localhost:~$ sudo perf config --list
