Subject: Don't init kernel tracer if not root (UID=0)
X-Git-Tag: v2.0-pre17~2
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1f1c568e4e28b57156da4fce6b815a56166ecc6;p=lttng-tools.git

Don't init kernel tracer if not root (UID=0)

No point of trying to init kernel tracer if the session daemon is not
root. At this time, only UID=0 can load kernel modules and interact with
the lttng kernel tracer.
