In #35777 (comment) ("runtime: memory corruption on Linux 5.3.x from async preemption") @zikaeroh says:

I feel like there should be some builder which is at the latest Linux kernel, whatever that may be.

This is that tracking bug.

In a similar vein, perhaps a builder with the oldest Linux version (and similarly old glibc, gcc, etc) would be good. There are dozens of people using tip on bleeding edge Linux, as can be seen by the amount of runtime bugs filed in the past two weeks. But I don't imagine there are nearly as many people doing that on old systems.

That's #29114, if I correctly understand the CentOS release model.

This would have also prevented the breakage in https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/428396, at least if this builder were a trybot.

Note that we're starting to have more logic around newer kernel 5.x versions, and these newer versions are relatively common nowadays, so I think we should give more priority to adding this builder. cc @golang/release
