seems to hang on futext_wake_op_cmp test .. (not repeated yet)
on qemu with -smp 1 tests still running past this point, like 584 out of 960.
I looked up bug database and found exactly one entry from 2017 with query port sparc + SMP + all prio levels selected:
will try to repeat on qemu with -nographic and create new bugreport if my hang at specific test is reproducible.
some ATF tests take minute and more, but I can press "Enter" on keyboard and it will make new line on terminal. In hang case I can't do that, or ctrl-c out to shell. So far I was running tests as root as suggested. I think I disabled core generation for saving space, and some tests fail due to this because they assume core must be generated.
