      1. add the tcmalloc unittests to our build system so that we can run them. I'm not sure if we want them as part of our main unittest tasks or a separate task - will leave that up to you guys.
      2. add a build variant that runs our full test corpus with a 6.19+ kernel. For now it would only be used with patch builds and never automatically since we know it will be bright red on master. But once we merge a fix, I think we'd want recurring runs for a while to increase confidence. Also, for now it will be simplest to use an existing distro that we build+test on so that we don't need a separate build, but at some point we will almost certainly want to spin up an ubuntu 26.04 variant, so we can just turn this into that once it is ready.
