On riscv64-linux, with test-case gdb.rust/completion.exp I run into the
following timeout:
...
(gdb) complete break pars^M
FAIL: gdb.rust/completion.exp: complete break pars (timeout)
...
Replaying the scenario outside the testsuite show us that the command takes
~13 seconds:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -x gdb.in
...
2025-01-08 12:23:46.853 - command started
+complete break pars
break parse.rs
break parse_printf_format
break parse_running_mmaps_unix.rs
break parser.rs
2025-01-08 12:23:59.600 - command finished
Command execution time: 12.677752 (cpu), 12.748565 (wall)
...
while the timeout is 10 seconds.
The riscv64 processor on the server (cfarm91) is not fast (a fair amount of
the skip_huge_test test-cases times out), but something else is going on as
well.
For x86_64-linux, roughly measuring the size of debug info in the exec get us:
...
$ readelf -wi outputs/gdb.rust/completion/completion | wc -l
2007
...
while on the riscv64 server I get:
...
$ readelf -wi outputs/gdb.rust/completion/completion | wc -l
1606950
...
So it seems reasonable that the test is somewhat slower on riscv64.
Fix this by using timeout factor 2.
Tested on riscv64-linux and x86_64-linux.
