Jiri Olsa 760ebc4574 perf lock contention: Add empty 'struct rq' to satisfy libbpf 'runqueue' type verification
If 'struct rq' isn't defined in lock_contention.bpf.c then the type for
the 'runqueue' variable ends up being a forward declaration
(BTF_KIND_FWD) while the kernel has it defined (BTF_KIND_STRUCT).

This makes libbpf decide it has incompatible types and then fails to
load the BPF skeleton:

  # perf lock con -ab sleep 1
  libbpf: extern (var ksym) 'runqueues': incompatible types, expected [95] fwd rq, but kernel has [55509] struct rq
  libbpf: failed to load object 'lock_contention_bpf'
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'lock_contention_bpf': -22
  Failed to load lock-contention BPF skeleton
  lock contention BPF setup failed
  #

Add it as an empty struct to satisfy that type verification:

  # perf lock con -ab sleep 1
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

           2     50.64 us     25.38 us     25.32 us     spinlock   tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
           1     26.18 us     26.18 us     26.18 us     spinlock   tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
  #

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch as Namhyung had already fixed the other
issues in e53de7b65a ("perf lock contention: Fix struct rq lock
access").

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
