Commita887466562("perf bpf skels: Stop using vmlinux.h generated from BTF, use subset of used structs + CO-RE") made it so that vmlinux.h was uncondtionally included from tools/perf/util/vmlinux.h. This change reverts part of that change (so that vmlinux.h is once again generated) and makes it so that the vmlinux.h used at build time is selected from the VMLINUX_H variable. By default the VMLINUX_H variable is set to the vmlinux.h added in changea887466562, but if GEN_VMLINUX_H=1 is passed on the build command line then the previous generation behavior kicks in. The build with GEN_VMLINUX_H=1 currently fails with: util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c:419:8: error: redefinition of 'rq' struct rq {}; ^ /tmp/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/../vmlinux.h:45630:8: note: previous definition is here struct rq { ^ 1 error generated.

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.
