Yes, I'm aware, and I think I stated somewhere that I want to
fix/improve that. The thing is, current build_id_parse() was built for
BPF under NMI context assumption, which is why it can't page in memory
and so on (and this "build ID has to be in the first page" was a
surprise to me, but probably just a technical shortcut to make it a
bit easier to implement). Regardless, my plan, once this API is
merged, is to follow up with make build_id_parse() variant that would
work reliably under sleepable context assumptions. Hopefully that's ok
not to bundle all that with these patches?

I'd prefer not to because vma_name can't use the same trick, so we'll
have to have this size+buffer address approach anyway. And because of
that I'd like to have all these optional variable-length/string output
arguments handled in a uniform way. In practice, it's really simple to
use this from user-space, the only mildly annoying part is casting
pointer to __u64. But as I said, for vma_name users will do this
anyways, so not much benefit simplifying the build_id part only.
