Description Joshua Lock 2016-09-28 09:00:10 UTC
The Running Sanity Tests step of nightly-mips-lsb fails with:

command timed out: 14800 seconds without output, attempting to kill
process killed by signal 9
program finished with exit code -1

Full logs at:

We've seen this before and it's basically that the mips emulation is slow. We may wish to disable some of the compile tests for mips builds.

I prefer to increase the timeout into mips sanity tests builds instead of remove some tests for reduce the exec time.

Increasing the timeout was suggested during the triage but it's already quite large and Richard expressed a preference for removing some of the compile tests instead.

The linked to failing test already took 4 hrs, 26 mins, 10 secs before timing out, which slowed down the overall build significantly. On a recent successful run[1] it took 2 hrs, 44 mins, 36 secs.
