Hmm, for patch#4, it includes
 A. Rename and Export build_id_cache__cachedir()	[14 LOC]
 B. Add perf_probe_event__copy()	[73 LOC]
 C. Add (or fix and reenable) synthesize_perf_probe_point() [38 LOC]
 D. Introduce perf_cache interfaces (new/add/commit/delete) [320 LOC]
 E. Add --cache option for perf-probe [15 LOC]

And E depends on D, D depends on A,B and C. And of course without E,
other parts are just a deadweight.(no other one call it, just exported)
Should I split them all?

Thank you,
