Subject: [PATCH] test: Increase syscall entry timeout
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 17:01:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122220154.20552-1-eugene.loh@oracle.com> (raw)
From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>
The run time for this test seems twice as long for aarch64 as for
x86_64. Further, the run time seems to have jumped significantly from
kernel 5.15 to 6.12 and then again to kernel 6.18. E.g.,
x86_64 aarch64
5.15 7 secs 18 secs
6.12 12 secs 33 secs
6.18 22 secs 54 secs
Looking at a run on the 6.18 aarch64 system, the time is basically
spent in the dtrace_close() call to dt_probe_detach_all(), which does:
for (prp = ...)
prp->prov->impl->detach(dtp, prp);
Then, dt_tp_probe_detach() calls dt_tp_detach(), which does:
close(tpp->fd);
This close() averages over 0.1 secs. For hundreds of syscall probes,
we get nearly a minute of run time, exceeding the default test timeout.
For the time being, increase the timeout on this test.
