In kill_qemu() we have an assert that checks that the QEMU process
didn't dump core:
            assert(!WCOREDUMP(wstatus));

Unfortunately the WCOREDUMP macro here means the resulting message
is not very easy to comprehend on at least some systems:

ahci-test: tests/libqtest.c:113: kill_qemu: Assertion `!(((__extension__ (((union { __typeof(wstatus) __in; int __i; }) { .__in = (wstatus) }).__i))) & 0x80)' failed.

and it doesn't identify what signal the process took. What's more,
WCOREDUMP is not reliable - in some cases, setrlimit() coupled with
kernel dump settings can result in the flag not being set.  It's
better to log ALL death by signal, instead of caring whether a core
dump was attempted (although once we know a signal happened, also
mentioning if a core dump is present can be helpful).

Furthermore, we are NOT detecting EINTR (while EINTR shouldn't be
happening if we didn't install signal handlers, it's still better
to always be robust).

Finally, even non-signal death with a non-zero status is suspicious,
since qemu's SIGINT handler is supposed to result in exit(0).

Instead of using a raw assert, print the information in an
easier to understand way:

/i386/ahci/sanity: tests/libqtest.c:119: kill_qemu() detected QEMU death from signal 11 (Segmentation fault) (core dumped)
Aborted (core dumped)

(Of course, the really useful information would be why the QEMU
process dumped core in the first place, but we don't have that
by the time the test program has picked up the exit status.)

Well, it would help if my commit message actually matched...

I got libqtest patches in my queue, and I could stick this patch in.
Would you like me to touch up the commit message when I apply?  Or
should I expect v5?

If you don't mind doing the touchup (s/core dumped/dumped core/), then I 
don't need to submit v5.

Since "core dumped" is how the shell traditionally reports this, I'd
prefer to adjust the code to match the commit message.  Okay?

Apparently your commit message betrayed you =) You are also custom to
see "core dumped" in your terminal.

I also prefer "core dumped", this is the default string I'm custom to
fgrep for, and the quoted version I expect other people to google for.

With code adjusted:

A nice thing about this patch is that "make check" will now return an
error when compiled with --enable-sanitizers and there are leaks
(instead of just reporting warnings).

With the few leak fixes pending merge, x86-64 ASAN make check is
clean: I wish we can enable it in our CI, to avoid regressions.

That I know of, there is at least patchew (make docker), travis, and
Peter has his own set of integration tools/build iirc.

Travis looks overloaded to me.

May I suggest to replace docker-test-clang@ubuntu by
docker-test-debug@ubuntu in patchew? (test-debug uses clang, with some
default sanitizers)

The 2 patches missing upstream for a clean x86-64 run are:
- megasas: fix sglist leak
- tests: fix bdrv-drain leak

thanks
