Afraid I'm going to have to ditch this. Kernel's been building for 7
hours now. Clocking, over-clocking, governors, schedulers make no
difference. Btrace, strace points to nothing. CPU load through the roof
though yet I don't see anything especially noteworthy.
Thoughts?
F38 is behaving similarly to f37 on my rpi's so...
You might try installing the kernel tools, and flipping on the
debuginfos and running something like `perf top
--vmlinux=/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux` if you see its
spending a lot of time in the kernel.
What process is taking all the cpu time? You might turn on the
mem/cpu/io pressure stall fields in htop and see what is being reported
as the major bottleneck.. but i'm guessing your on a SD or a USB disk?
Its a big weakness of that platform that it doesn't have a reasonable
disk interface (aka sata/nvme/etc). So one of the failure modes I've
seen with bad SD/USB disks is that they get incredibly slow (think
KB/sec) before they die. The stress of downloading a couple GB, delta
RPM'ing it, installing, etc, could have pushed your disk closer to
failure. I've killed a fair number of disks before I switched to
USB->sata enclosures with proper SATA SSDs*, and one of the first
indications is the whole machine starts just acting slow. 15 second
login times from the shell, seconds to start things like htop, etc.
I guess it could also be thermal throttling if your building kernels as
you report below. I've got a fairly beefy heatsink on mine in order to
keep the temps below the throttling limits.
As far as time does something like `systemctrl restart
systemd-timesyncd` fix your time issues?

on proper USB3 controllers, which sadly doesn't include the rpi4 though)
