fa8e6df282af0d396d75b03721f1b59a520ced19 ci: Run tsan ci config on cirrus (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: Fixes bitcoin-core/gui#12 Copied description from #19321: Currently it is not possible to use travis in forked repositories due to the 50 minute limit on builds. A fresh build (uncached) of the thread sanitizer config takes more than 50 minutes. One approach to fix this could be to throw away tests until the run time is less than 50 minutes. However, the risk of being blind of failures in the thrown away tests is not worth the gain. Also, to detect them, one has to run the tsan configuration nightly and failures could only be detected post-merge. Another approach would be to ask travis support to raise the limit for a forked repository. This is a tedious and manual one-by-one process, so I'd rather not. Finally, a different ci provider can be used, since the config files are designed to be platform-agnostic. This is what I picked. I kept all settings identical to the travis machine for now. Both providers run in the google cloud, so this should be a "move-only". ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK fa8e6df282af0d396d75b03721f1b59a520ced19 - my understanding is that test coverage remains the same. Just swapping providers to work-around the Travis time-limit in other repos.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
