+Subject: [PATCH] testlimits: optionally accept '-timeout' input
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/b45e38edab72e4f09b24a5c9672df818f8df020c]
+Fixes: #1032
+
+The testlimits tests can use a lot of system resources, and thus they
+may fail when run on systems under heavy load, given that the default
+parsing timeout is set to two seconds. Retain this default value, but
+make the timeout length configurable with a new '-timeout' flag.

[YOCTO #15912] A commit was recently merged upstream to make the testlimits test's timeout configurable. This test fails intermittently on the AB under heavy load (particularly on qemuriscv64), so backport the change and adjust the timeout from two seconds to five.
