commit c5ba8b62219c9e8b895eedc4806176dfe10478b2
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 12 12:36:54 2020 -0400

    Parallelize src/test/test into chunks.
    
    First, we introduce a flag to teach src/test/test to split its work
    into chunks.  Then we replace our invocation of src/test/test in our
    "make check" target with a set of 8 scripts that invoke the first
    8th of the tests, the second 8th, and so on.
    
    This change makes our "make -kj4 check" target in our hardened
    gitlab build more than twice as fast, since src/test/test was taking
    the longest to finish.
    
    Closes 40098.

+  o Minor features (tests):
+    - Our "make check" target now runs the unit tests in 8 parallel chunks.
+      Doing this speeds up hardened CI builds by more than a factor of two.
+      Closes ticket 40098.
