After modifying the gnutls ptest so that it outputs rough test durations (in ms)
and collecting a log, these seem to be the worst offenders:

|tgamblin@megalith ~/workspace/ypbuilds/poky-qemuriscv64/layers/openembedded-core (master)$ grep 'PASS:' tests.log | sort -t'(' -k2 -n -r
|PASS: mini-record-2 (187880ms)
|PASS: record-retvals (145390ms)
|PASS: rng-op-key (63820ms)
|PASS: rng-op-random (63330ms)
|PASS: rng-op-nonce (63260ms)
|PASS: dtls-rehandshake-cert (61360ms)
|PASS: dtls-rehandshake-cert-2 (61230ms)
|PASS: dtls-rehandshake-anon (61030ms)
|PASS: mini-loss-time (60130ms)
|PASS: mini-dtls-hello-verify-48 (30050ms)
|PASS: tls12-ffdhe (27790ms)
|PASS: x509sign-verify-rsa (18460ms)
|PASS: x509sign-verify-ecdsa (16050ms)

mini-record-2 is longest runtime by far, and is consistent with what the
Bugzilla bug shows - if you build core-image-ptest-gnutls and watch the output,
mini-record-2 comes after mini-record, which is the last on that runs before the
AB log timeouts. Do you want to submit a narrower patch, which conditionally
disables mini-record-2 and record-retvals for riscv64?
