[PATCH 1/1] perf test workload: Use unsigned int in code_with_type instead of uint

[PATCH 1/1] perf test workload: Use unsigned int in code_with_type instead of uint

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

The declaration of the Rust helper test_rs() uses "uint", a BSD-ism
that lives in <sys/types.h>, so on glibc it is only visible by
accident: glibc's <stdlib.h> includes <sys/types.h>, where uint is
exposed under __USE_MISC, which is on by default.

musl does none of that: its <stdlib.h> doesn't include <sys/types.h>
and it typedefs uint there only when _GNU_SOURCE/_BSD_SOURCE is
defined, while nothing else in this translation unit includes
<sys/types.h>. Building it on Alpine therefore fails with:

  tests/workloads/code_with_type.c:9:21: error: unknown type name 'uint'; did you mean 'int'?
  tests/workloads/code_with_type.c:39:17: error: implicit declaration of function 'test_rs' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

The second error is a consequence of the first one: with the
declaration at line 9 rejected, the call at line 39 has no prototype,
which is an error since gcc 14.

The breakage is only visible when rustc is present, because
tests/workloads/Build adds code_with_type.o when CONFIG_RUST_SUPPORT
is detected, and tools/build/feature only checks for "rustc
--version". That is why alpine:3.23 and alpine:3.24 fail while
alpine:3.22 and alpine:edge, lacking rustc, build fine and hide it.

Use unsigned int, which needs no header at all.
