But this becomes one more burden to the user :-\ Why not calculate a build-id from the VDSO file contents, copy it to ~/.debug/.build-id/ab/cdef01020304 and insert that into the perf.data file so that at analysis time we do all this automatically?
We can of course have a way to manually provide it, but having it as the main way for users doesn't seem a good interface. Am I missing something?
