This started out as a series to get rid of the many GBs of temp files the functional tests leave behind. Then it expanded into improving the functional test debugging by ensuring we preserve the QEMU stdout/stderr log file created by the QEMUMachine class. In the course of doing that I encountered some other minor points worth fixing, and then got side tracked into looking at the tuxrun hangs with aarch64be. Investigating the latter exposed some further holes in the debugging story prompting yet more patches, as well as a final solution for tuxrun. So this series does:
* Purge all scratch files created by tests * Preserve the stdout/stderr log file * Capture debug log messages on QEMUMachine * Provide a QMP backdoor for debugging stuck QEMUs * Enhance console handling for partial line matches * Fix the tuxrun tests by eliminating sleeps There's quite alot of code here, but at the same time it feels like the kind of stuff that'll be valuable either in the 9.2 release, or in the soon to exist 9.2 stable branch. NB, with this series applied Thomas' tuxrun conversion to functional testing survives 200 iterations on my machine, whereas it would reliably hang in < 20, and often in < 10, before. Daniel P.
