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.

Thanks,
Ian
