[PATCH v2 05/11] perf tests: Exercise data type resolution from a register

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

At -O2 a struct pointer lives in a register and DWARF describes it with
a register location, while the unoptimized workloads the data type tests
profile keep their variables on the stack.

Build a workload with a noinline function that gets the pointer from a
volatile global, which keeps it in a register, and check that its three
member accesses are resolved from that location.
