tools can be used to fetch packages with matching symbol tables for use by
perf report.

OPTIONS
-------
-i::
--input=::
        Input file name. (default: perf.data)
-f::
--force::
	Don't do ownership validation.
-v::
--verbose::
	Be more verbose.

perf buildid-list: New plumbing command With this we can list the buildids in a perf.data file so that we can pipe them to other, distro specific tools that from the buildids can figure out separate packages (foo-debuginfo) where we can find the matching symtabs so that perf report can do its job.
