Hi,

With Linux 6.7.0-rc1, several tst-robust* tests time out on x86_64:

FAIL: nptl/tst-robust1
FAIL: nptl/tst-robust3
FAIL: nptl/tst-robust4
FAIL: nptl/tst-robust6
FAIL: nptl/tst-robust7
FAIL: nptl/tst-robust9

This does not happen with Linux 6.6.0.  Do you have some clue about
it?

Bisected to the kernel commit:

    futex: Flag conversion
    
    Futex has 3 sets of flags:
    
     - legacy futex op bits
     - futex2 flags
     - internal flags
    
    Add a few helpers to convert from the API flags into the internal
    flags.

I can confirm. I'm also going crazy trying to figure out how this
happens.

The below is sufficient to make it unhappy...
