And these days buildids come in PERF_RECORD_MMAP records when possible
(kernel new enough), so no extra step at the end for traversing
PERF_RECORD_MMAP records, read the DSO, find the build id, etc:

    perf: Add build id data in mmap2 event

    Adding support to carry build id data in mmap2 event.

    The build id data replaces maj/min/ino/ino_generation
    fields, which are also used to identify map's binary,
    so it's ok to replace them with build id data:

      union {
              struct {
                      u32       maj;
                      u32       min;
                      u64       ino;
                      u64       ino_generation;
              };
              struct {
                      u8        build_id_size;
                      u8        __reserved_1;
                      u16       __reserved_2;
                      u8        build_id[20];
              };
      };

    Replaced maj/min/ino/ino_generation fields give us size
    of 24 bytes. We use 20 bytes for build id data, 1 byte
    for size and rest is unused.

    There's new misc bit for mmap2 to signal there's build
    id data in it:

      #define PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID   (1 << 14)
