GCC version 7.5.0, GNU Make 4.1
Steps to reproduce:
1. Check out the commit e5eb28f6d1afebed4bb7d740a797d0390bd3a357
2. cd tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/
3. make

The steps above produces the following error messages (similar error
output truncated for clarity):

In file included from main.c:73:0:
/linux/tools/include/linux/btf_ids.h:7:2: error: unknown type name ‘u32’
  u32 cnt;
  ^~~

The other sources including <linux/btf_ids.h> usually includes
(directly or indirectly) <linux/types.h> before which is not the case
for tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/main.c. So that looks reasonable to me to
bring all the required type definitions into scope explicitly in
linux/btf_ids.h. Any thoughts on this?
