perf build: Pretend scandirat is missing with msan
Memory sanitizer lacks an interceptor for scandirat, reporting all memory it allocates as uninitialized. Memory sanitizer has a scandir interceptor so use the fallback function in this case. This allows 'perf test' to run under memory sanitizer. Additional notes from Ian on running in this mode: Note, as msan needs to instrument memory allocations libraries need to be compiled with it. I lacked the msan built libraries and so built with: ``` $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O0 -g -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=memory -fsanitize-memory-track-origins" CC=clang CXX=clang++ HOSTCC=clang NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 NO_LIBELF=1 BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 NO_LIBPFM=1 ``` oh, I disabled libbpf here as the bpf system call also lacks msan interceptors.
