This appears to be the default timeout hard coded into the
kselftest runner, though that limit appears to be configurable.
Given that this report is for an emulated run on qemu rather than
a physical system I'd suggest you should be configuring a larger
limit, there does appear to be some support for that.

I do note that your system appears to be unusually slow even for
an emulated one, when I run sve-ptrace in qemu on my laptop I'm
seeing it taking about 10s which is vastly faster than 45s.
