Hi, Maxim,

thanks for the patch! See my comments below.

Motivation behind chosen configurations is not clear.

And what is a difference for "--malloc-fill=0x00"/"--free-fill=0x00"

and "--malloc-fill=0xFF"/"--free-fill=0xFF". Why the fill value make 
sense here?


Also, we usually mention an issue number in commit messages.

Cover letter says that the issue behind these patches is

https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/3705

but commit messages for  both patches doesn't mention the issue.

I propose to add "Part of #3705" to the first patch and

"Closes #3705" to the second patch.

This config doesn't have VALGRIND_OPTIONS, is it intentional?

Why JOB_POSTFIX is empty here?
