REGRESSION (r203142): Layout test js/regress-139548.html is 10x slower.

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

Since r203142 <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/203142> the layout test js/regress-139548.html has become much (10x) slower. To the point that is now timing out on the GTK, EFL and ElCapitan leaks bots.

On the other Apple bots is also slow but is still no timing out.

Check: https://webkit-test-results.webkit.org/dashboards/flakiness_dashboard.html#tests=js%2Fregress-139548.html

On the GTK port I get this results:

r203142 : "js/regress-139548.html took 25.0 seconds"
r203141 : "js/regress-139548.html took 2.5 seconds"

The tests seems quite sensible to the JSC_stackSizeInBytes value.

This patch makes it finish in 10 seconds instead of 25:

I marked this test as slow for all platforms in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/203509/trunk/LayoutTests/TestExpectations

We can't do this because it will cause other tests to fail.  This setting here is a broad brush and was picked to be 1.5M because that was found to be the minimum needed for all tests to pass.

Let's see if we can make this test behave better while still maintaining its original testing purpose.
