[E][SRU][PATCH 0/1] selftests/powerpc: Turn off timeout setting for benchmarks, dscr, signal, tm

[Po-Hsu Lin]

== SRU Justification ==
Some specific tests in powerpc can take longer than the default 45
seconds that added in commit 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh:
Add 45 second timeout per test") to run, the following test result was
collected across 2 Power8 nodes and 1 Power9 node in our pool:
  powerpc/benchmarks/futex_bench - 52s
  powerpc/dscr/dscr_sysfs_test - 116s
  powerpc/signal/signal_fuzzer - 88s
  powerpc/tm/tm_unavailable_test - 168s
  powerpc/tm/tm-poison - 240s

Thus they will fail with TIMEOUT error.

== Fix ==
* 850507f3 ("selftests/powerpc: Turn off timeout setting for benchmarks, dscr, signal, tm")

Only Eoan and newer kernel will need this fix.
For Eoan, this patch can be applied with some context adjustment.
For Focal, there is a SAUCE patch which turned off timeout setting for
benchmarks and tm that needs to be reverted first, and this patch can
be applied with some context adjustment too

== Test ==
Patch tested on PowerPC and it works as expected.

== Regression Potential ==
Low, changes limited to testing tools for PowerPC.
