Subject: [PATCH v2] trace-cmd: Fix "trace-cmd extract" temp files path
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2020 09:59:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1601542769-443324-1-git-send-email-vincent.donnefort@arm.com> (raw)

From: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@arm.com>

During the introduction of instance's output_file copy:

  3a206ca ("trace-cmd: Have instances include a copy of its output file")

The extract path has been omitted, causing the temp files created to be
written in the same directory using the null "output_file" of the
instance, to create "(null).cpuX" files. If this is executed in a
directory that is not writable (like /sys/kernel/tracing) or does not
have enough space to hold the temp files, then it will fail to write.

Signed-off-by: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@arm.com>
