I realized my example was overly convoluted since to
overwrite the existing buildid cache entry the --update
option could simply be used. However, that needs another
change:

diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-buildid-cache.c
b/tools/perf/builtin-buildid-cache.c
index 08de05e2aaae3..69f43460d007f 100644
--- a/tools/perf/builtin-buildid-cache.c
+++ b/tools/perf/builtin-buildid-cache.c
@@ -353,7 +353,7 @@ static int build_id_cache__update_file(const char
*filename, struct nsinfo *nsi)

if (!err)
err = build_id_cache__add_s(sbuild_id, filename, nsi, false,
- false);
+ filename_is_vdso(filename));

pr_debug("Updating %s %s: %s\n", sbuild_id, filename,
err ? "FAIL" : "Ok");

With that you can add:
