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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
