I've seen these failures on my local system, in our CI, and on a build server that I sometimes use for development/testing so if it's a configuration issue we're being pretty consistent about misconfiguration across some pretty different environments (docker, bare-metal, VM, different OSs, different QEMU versions). I've seen enough of the spintrcritical tests fail sporadically on QEMU to lump them all into this category. These are also tests that I have seen behave badly on ARMv7 QEMU on my local system (which doesn't rule out misconfiguration, but it's another
data point).

As far as your worry about marking these indeterminate, they're only being marked as such for QEMU BSPs. The ZynqMP hardware BSP doesn't have these testing carve-outs and runs all
these tests flawlessly.

These failures become much more common when there is otherwise load on the system and a lot of them disappear when you limit the tester to a single QEMU instance at a time.

Can you explain the process for generating the lists of indeterminate
test results?

I hate to circle this subject so many times, but is labeling sporadic
simulator failures as indeterminate results really the right thing to
do? Are these indeterminate tests reproducible on different
systems/qemus/loads? Or is it just what you observe locally when
running rtems-test on one specific system? I don't think I see nearly
so many spurious failures when I run rtems-test for example. I really
need to believe we're not just hiding a system configuration problem.

I know I OK'd looking at the versal, but on second thought, I'd rather
leave the xilinx-versal/tstqemu.yml alone until the BSP is finished,
so revert that part of your patch. Sorry about that.
