[DTrace-devel] [PATCH] test: Increase syscall entry timeout

[eugene.loh at oracle.com]

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at 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.
