The problem is that:

Nice explanation. Thanks.
But as elfutils scans the memory space and finds there files by their
build-id
it can verify build-id of the found disk file vs. that in-memory file.
This will make all the tests of the initial patch PASSing again.
Verify file vs. core build-id, when both available

Yes, looks good.
