    Description

      Found when investigating QTBUG-77113, where the application freezes on startup on a x86_64 emulator for Android.

      It looks like

      1. qDetectCpuFeatures() calls qFatal(),
      2. This which will initialize a default logging category and register it to a hash in a global registry.
      3. QHash will salt the hash with a random number.
      4. This number is generated by the QRandomGenerator, which will call qDetectCpuFeatures().
      5. On the second call, it will hang on the guard for the global static QLoggingCategory

      Here is a full stack trace of the recursion and freeze:

          Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. QTBUG-77113 When starting an application in the Android emulator for x86_64 it will just hang and not start

          • P1: Critical - Urgent and Important, will STOP the release if matched with set FixVersion field. This includes regressions from the last version that are not edge cases; Data loss; Build issues; All but the most unlikely crashes/lockups/hanging; Serious usability issues and embarrassing bugs & Bugs critical to a deliverable. This is the highest possible priority for requirements.
