           Summary: go testsuite and timeouts
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0

  Target Milestone: ---

Is there something in the libgo testsuite (as well as go.test) that should be
killing tests if they are stuck?
Normally in dejagnu driven tests there is a timeout and if a test for whatever
reason doesn't finish within that timeout, dejagnu kills it.
But I think go testing bypasses that.
E.g. today we've seen on armv7hl the
gcc/testsuite/go/issue19182.x test getting stuck for several hours, but there
was nothing that would just kill the test, so manual killall -9 on it was
needed to make the build finish.
