[PULL 04/11] gitlab: use 'setarch -R' to workaround tsan bug
Posted by Thomas Huth 6 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

The TSAN job started failing when gitlab rolled out their latest
release. The root cause is a change in the Google COS version used
on shared runners. This brings a kernel running with

 vm.mmap_rnd_bits = 31

which is incompatible with TSAN in LLVM < 18, which only supports
upto '28'. LLVM 18 can support upto '30', and failing that will
re-exec itself to turn off VA randomization.

Our LLVM is too old for now, but we can run with 'setarch -R make ..'
to turn off VA randomization ourselves.
