Fix the following error when building bpftool: CLANG profiler.bpf.o CLANG pid_iter.bpf.o skeleton/profiler.bpf.c:18:21: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to an incomplete type 'struct bpf_perf_event_value' __uint(value_size, sizeof(struct bpf_perf_event_value)); ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:13:39: note: expanded from macro '__uint' ^~~ tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_helper_defs.h:7:8: note: forward declaration of 'struct bpf_perf_event_value' struct bpf_perf_event_value; ^ struct bpf_perf_event_value is being used in the kernel only when CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is enabled, so it misses a BTF entry then. Emit the type unconditionally to fix the problem.
