The ubsan (undefined behavior sanitizer) version of perf throws an
error on the 'x86 instruction decoder - new instructions' function
of perf test.
To reproduce this run:
make -C tools/perf USE_CLANG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined"
then run: tools/perf/perf test 62 -v
The error occurs in the __get_next macro (line 34) where an int is
read from a potentially unaligned address. Using memcpy instead of
assignment from an unaligned pointer.
