Thanks Arnaldo! The update on patch description is good.

No, it is '--buildid-all'. There is no '--no-buildid-all' available now.
See in __record_options[] (builtin-record.c),
OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "buildid-all", &record.buildid_all,
"Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits"),
So by default, buildid-all is set with false.
Thanks
