Currently if a forward declaration appears in the BTF before the definition,
the definition is dumped as a conflicting name, eg:
$ bpftool btf dump file vmlinux format raw | grep "'unix_sock'"
[81287] FWD 'unix_sock' fwd_kind=struct
[89336] STRUCT 'unix_sock' size=1024 vlen=14
$ bpftool btf dump file vmlinux format c | grep "struct unix_sock"
struct unix_sock;
struct unix_sock___2 { <--- conflict, the "___2" is unexpected
struct unix_sock___2 *unix_sk;
This causes a "definition not found" compilation error if the dump output
is used as a header file.
Fix it by skipping forward declaration when counting duplicated type names.
Fixes: 351131b ("libbpf: add btf_dump API for BTF-to-C conversion")

With latest clang18, I hit test_progs failures for the following test: #13/2 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_link_api:FAIL #13/3 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_attach_api:FAIL #13 bpf_cookie:FAIL #75 fentry_fexit:FAIL #76/1 fentry_test/fentry:FAIL #76 fentry_test:FAIL #80/1 fexit_test/fexit:FAIL #80 fexit_test:FAIL #110/1 kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:FAIL #110/2 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:FAIL #110/3 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_syms:FAIL #110/4 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_pattern:FAIL #110/5 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_addrs:FAIL #110/6 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_syms:FAIL #110 kprobe_multi_test:FAIL For example, for #13/2, the error messages are ... kprobe_multi_test_run:FAIL:kprobe_test7_result unexpected kprobe_test7_result: actual 0 != expected 1 ... kprobe_multi_test_run:FAIL:kretprobe_test7_result unexpected kretprobe_test7_result: actual 0 != expected 1 clang17 does not have this issue. Further investigation shows that kernel func bpf_fentry_test7(), used in the above tests, is inlined by the compiler although it is marked as noinline. int noinline bpf_fentry_test7(struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg) { return (long)arg; } It is known that for simple functions like the above (e.g. just returning a constant or an input argument), the clang compiler may still do inlining for a noinline function. Adding 'asm volatile ("")' in the beginning of the bpf_fentry_test7() can prevent inlining. Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@linux.dev>

Specify the threshold for dumping offcpu samples with --off-cpu-thresh,
the unit is milliseconds. Default value is 500ms.
Example:
perf record --off-cpu --off-cpu-thresh 824
The example above collects direct off-cpu samples where the off-cpu time
is longer than 824ms.
Committer testing:
After commenting out the end off-cpu dump to have just the ones that are
added right after the task is scheduled back, and using a threshould of
1000ms, we see some periods (the 5th column, just before "offcpu-time"
in the 'perf script' output) that are over 1000.000.000 nanoseconds:
root@number:~# perf record --off-cpu --off-cpu-thresh 10000
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.902 MB perf.data (34335 samples) ]
