Re-run the pipeline with the same commit, the tests pass.

There might be some instability on qemu-x86 with efi_selftest. Any ideas?

Hello Bin,
The failing routine is
u_boot_console.restart_uboot()
after the UEFI tests were completed successfully.
This is the function:
def restart_uboot(self):
"""Shut down and restart U-Boot."""
self.cleanup_spawn()
self.ensure_spawned()
In ensure_spawned() we get the exception:
Exception: Bad pattern found on console: main_signon
ensure_spawned() complains because it sees the main_signon message a
second time.
This is the console output:
U-Boot 2021.01-rc4-23431-g6ef1b75087 (Dec 22 2020 - 03:07:46 +0000)
CPU: QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+
DRAM: 128 MiB
unable to find cpus device
Warning: MP init failure
U-Boot 2021.01-rc4-23431-g6ef1b75087 (Dec 22 2020 - 03:07:46 +0000)
So obviously U-Boot is crashing during the boot process after x86_mp_init().
The same error has shown up on Gitlab as reported by Simon. Cf.
https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-dm/-/jobs/190746/raw
I suggest that you add
#define DEBUG 1
at the top of common.h to close in on the location of the crash.
Best regards
Heinrich
