As seccomp_benchmark tries to calibrate how many samples will take more than 5 seconds to execute, it may end up picking up a number of samples that take 10 (but up to 12) seconds. As the calibration will take double that time, it takes around 20 seconds. Then, it executes the whole thing again, and then once more, with some added overhead. So, the thing might take more than 40 seconds, which is too close to the 45s timeout.

That is very dependent on the system where it's executed, so may not be observed always, but it has been observed on x86 VMs. Using a 90s timeout seems safe enough.
