Resolve forward declarations that don't take part in type graphs comparisons if declaration name is unambiguous. Example: CU #1: struct foo; // standalone forward declaration struct foo *some_global; CU #2: struct foo { int x; }; struct foo *another_global; The `struct foo` from CU #1 is not a part of any definition that is compared against another definition while `btf_dedup_struct_types` processes structural types. The the BTF after `btf_dedup_struct_types` the BTF looks as follows: [1] STRUCT 'foo' size=4 vlen=1 ... [2] INT 'int' size=4 ... [3] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1 [4] FWD 'foo' fwd_kind=struct [5] PTR '(anon)' type_id=4 This commit adds a new pass `btf_dedup_resolve_fwds`, that maps such forward declarations to structs or unions with identical name in case if the name is not ambiguous. The pass is positioned before `btf_dedup_ref_types` so that types [3] and [5] could be merged as a same type after [1] and [4] are merged. The final result for the example above looks as follows: [1] STRUCT 'foo' size=4 vlen=1 'x' type_id=2 bits_offset=0 [2] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED [3] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1 For defconfig kernel with BTF enabled this removes 63 forward declarations. Examples of removed declarations: `pt_regs`, `in6_addr`. The running time of `btf__dedup` function is increased by about 3%.

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.
