The following failed lines from running test case siginfo-thread:
FAIL: gdb.base/siginfo-thread.exp: save a core file (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/siginfo-thread.exp: extract si_addr
FAIL: gdb.base/siginfo-thread.exp: p ssi_addr
indicate the testsuite timed out when gdb was instructed to write the
core file. The patch below fixes the problem by simply increasing the
timeout by a factor of 2 to give gdb more time to generate core files.
Tested in sparc64-linux-gnu. No regressions.
Did you see timeout fails in all gcore related tests? gdb_gcore_cmd is
used in many places in gdb testsuite. Did you investigate why it is so
slow to generate coredump in gdb?
