Currently we don't have an explicit check that when it's been a second since we have seen output produced from the test programs starting up that means all of them are running and we should start both sending signals and timing out. This is not reliable, especially on very heavily loaded systems where the test programs might take longer than a second to run. We do skip sending signals to children that have not produced output yet so we won't cause them to exit unexpectedly by sending a signal but this can create confusion when interpreting output, for example appearing to show the tests running for less time than expected or appearing to show missed signal deliveries. Avoid issues by explicitly checking that we have seen output from all the child processes before we start sending signals or counting test run time. This is especially likely on virtual platforms with large numbers of vector lengths supported since the platforms are slow and there will be a lot of tasks per CPU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
