Pick up https://github.com/golang/snappy/pull/56 to handle arm64 architectures to fix panics. tldr; Golang 1.16 changed `memmove` implementation for arm64 requiring additional cpu registers that snappy wasn't preserving in its assembly implementation.
Other projects have experienced this issue as well, searching for `encode_arm64.s:666` on your favorite search engine will reveal some. Vault updated the dependency earlier this August: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/12371 .
I believe this issue affects Nomad 1.2.x and 1.1.x. Nomad 1.0.x use Golang 1.15 and isn't affected. However, backporting the change to 1.0.x should be harmless.
Fixed https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/11385 .
