[Bug libc/5204] New: The glibc-2.7 sha512c-test fails with a timeout - needs an increased wait time

["thkala at softlab dot ece dot ntua dot gr" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Hi,

As per the subject, the sha512c test of glibc-2.7 fails on my system:

GCONV_PATH=/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/iconvdata LC_ALL=C
  /usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/elf/ld-linux.so.2
--library-path
/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/math:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/elf:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/dlfcn:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/nss:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/nis:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/rt:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/resolv:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/crypt:/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/nptl
/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/crypt/sha512c-test  >
/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/crypt/sha512c-test.out
Timed out: killed the child process
make[2]: ***
[/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.7/glibc-2.7-1mp-objdir/crypt/sha512c-test.out] Error 1

Apparently the default timeout of 2 seconds that this test uses is not enough,
since setting the TIMEOUTFACTOR environment variable to 2 (i.e. a timeout of 4
sec) allows the test to complete without errors.

My system is an Intel Pentium-M (Centrino) 1.7GHz, and the same error has been
verified by another person (wolfpac from the #lfs-support IRC channel) with a
Pentium-4 1.8 GHz.

OS: linux-2.6.22
Kernel headers used: linux-2.6.22.10
CC: gcc-4.2.2 + binutils-2.18
CFLAGS:-O2 -pipe -march=pentium-m

I am filing this as a bug, because I think both machines are recent and fast
enough to not have a test fail for that reason, unless of course something more
subtle/sinister is happening, and the test was really supposed to finish in 2
seconds...

Regards,

Theodoros V. Kalamatianos
