Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario sle-16.0-BCI-Updates-ppc64le-bci-base_16.0_on_SLES_12-SP5@ppc64le fails in
root_BCI-tests_all

Given the fact that we are running SLFO code stream on old PowerPC workers, the BCI test containers are failing with segfaults when running binaries in the containers.

Dec 06 04:16:06.748541 linux-kmed systemd-coredump[8079]: Process 8055 (bash) of user 0 dumped core.

As in SLM testing, we need to use emulated PowerPC workers on SLEM16, anything newer than POWER8.

Expected result

Last good: None

Acceptance criteria

1) SLFO tests are using Power9 workers, currently only available as emulated workers

QEMU=ppc64
QEMUCPU=POWER9
WORKER_CLASS=qemu_x86_64-large-mem
MACHINE=ppc64le-emu

2) Make sure that host images are adjusted for the emulated workers

To try out the new scheduling, I deleted all ppc64le jobs from https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?groupid=608&version=16.0&distri=sle&build=7.2_base-image and will now wait for the new jobs to be scheduled.
