[PATCH v2 0/1] MR9751: Draft: gitlab: Make core files accessible as artifacts.
All some days there is an issue with the `debian-32` gitlab job showing a segfault. But it also shows `core dumped`. This merge request is the attempt to make this core file available as artifact. Last segfault example from yesterday: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/jobs/216539#L135 ``` /usr/bin/bash: line 213: 185 Segmentation fault (core dumped) wine usr/local/lib/wine/i386-windows/winetest.exe -q ``` -- v2: gitlab: Make core files accessible as artifacts. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9751

v2: - collect artifacts only "on_failure" - add "expire_in: 1 month" - create a "core-placeholder" to avoid a warning if it fails and there is no core file available. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9751#note_125417
Happened today also in [debian-wow64](https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/jobs/220041). -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9751#note_126427
And today again with [debian-32](https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/jobs/221840#L142). Looks like it happens always near the end of the run. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9751#note_127141
Yes, but I don't expect that we'll get a core file, these are managed by systemd these days. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9751#note_127185

No, there's no crash in the kernel logs. My mistake, the failed job was on the other runner:

The time of the dmesg line '17:15' and the start "11:10:20 PM GMT+1" (maybe 17:10 local time?) and duration of 30 minutes of the [failed job #221840](https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/jobs/221840#L142) may not match, if assumed it happens at the end of the run.
The other doubt is the segmentation fault shows `wine ...i386-windows/winetest.exe...`, but the dmesg looks like a 64-bit process. New examples may give more insight. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9751#note_127267
