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?
