Subject: perf symbols: Relax checks on perf-PID.map ownership
X-Git-Tag: v5.0-rc1~149^2^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bc055c54b887961bc3545c54e61c844fd4499c2b;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf symbols: Relax checks on perf-PID.map ownership

Those are simple enough, and usually not produced by root, instead by
whatever user is running java, rust, Node.js JIT code that end up
generating those /tmp/perf-PID.map for resolution of symbols in the
anonymous executable maps.

Having to use --force to resolve symbols in 'perf top' is a distraction,
as recently I experienced when node.js symbols were not being resolved
by 'perf top'.
