Nit: afaik, MAINTAINER updates should be split.

Is this declaration necessary?

I don't think you need forward declaration here as this does compile:

#include <stdio.h>

struct digest_cache *digest_cache_get(void)
{
        return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
        return (long)digest_cache_get();
}

Nit: kretprobe can be used to grab the same information easil and
do e.g. statistics and stuff like that. Traces for return values
are not very useful.
