Hello Commit c8c5ff19de1c34a99b8315e59015d115957b3584[1] was allowed to pass the CI despite failing tests in a non-blacklisted test. It's fixed in [2] which is integrating now.
The reason this was allowed is because none of the machines in the CI are testing the AVX2 codepaths in qdrawhelper_avx2.cpp. So this commit is to ask that we add at least one machine (preferably Linux) that has that capability. AVX2 along with FMA was introduced with the Haswell architecture[3] (fourth generation Intel Core, according to the marketing name), first launched in late 2013. That makes the architecture over 5 years old and it means a lot of our users have the feature. We ought to test it and even benchmark if we can.
