The test is quite stable for my side. We run the test case 7 times for
your commit and its parent. The standard variation is very low.
you commit:
[2493136, 2510964, 2508784, 2495632, 2506735, 2503016, 2510121]
parent commit:
[2735669, 2719566, 2739052, 2741485, 2735152, 2739356, 2739125]
The test result is stable for bisection too. The below figure show the
results of good commits and bad commits. The distance between is quite
big. And the variation is quite small.

FYI, I test your patch on x86 platform. I have no s390 system.
