From fa6963b2481beff8b11f76006fbb63fdbbf2d2d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:18:26 +0200 Subject: perf tools: Check perf.data owner Add an owner check to opening perf.data files and a switch to silence it. Because perf-report/perf-annotate are binary parsers reading another users' perf.data file could be a security risk if the file were explicitly engineered to trigger bugs in the parser (we hope of course there are non such bugs, but you never know).
