Again, how would you go about getting that cookie for a DSO? The whole
kernel isn't involved with dlopen(), all it sees is a mmap(PROT_EXEC).

mtime can still warn you if things are non-matching at report time
without this post-processing, and thereby solves the problem of staring
at broken/wrong data.

It doesn't get you right data, but knowing your data is broken allows
you to manually do things 'right'.
