PATCH 1/1 perf bench: Share 'start', 'end', 'runtime' global vars

Hi,

Noticed with gcc 10 (fedora rawhide) that those variables were
not being declared as static, so end up with:

ld: /tmp/build/perf/bench/epoll-wait.o:/git/perf/tools/perf/bench/epoll-wait.c:93: multiple definition of `end'; /tmp/build/perf/bench/futex-hash.o:/git/perf/tools/perf/bench/futex-hash.c:40: first defined here

Just prefixing them with 'extern' in all but one (futex-hash.c)
seems to be enough, ok?

Sure, that was the laziest/quickest way to "fix" that, the other was to stick a 'static' in front of it.

I'll go see if pushing them to a header file will not clash with other stuff.

Better now? Had to prefix those, not to clash with local variables when adding it to bench/bench.h.

Looking at the patch more can be done to share those benchmark arguments, but this is the second minimal patch to get tools/perf to build with the latest gcc (the one in Fedora rawhide and some other distros).

Prefix those with bench__ and add them to bench/bench.h, so that we can share those on the tools needing to access those variables from signal handlers.
