[PATCH 2/2] testsuite: Make standard_temp_file use invocation-specific directories

[Simon Marchi]

Just like standard_output_file, standard_temp_file should use multiple
directories to make the tests parallel-safe.  However,
standard_temp_file is sometimes called in some procedures that are not
test-specific.  For example, gdb_init uses it, but is called once before
all test files are ran.  Therefore, we can't organize it in a
temp/gdb.subdir/testname layout, like standard_output_file.

Because it's just meant for temporary files that don't really need to be
inspected after the test, we can just put them in a directory based on
the runtest pid.  There is always a single exp file being executed by a
particular runtest invocation at any given time, so it should be safe.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* lib/gdb.exp (standard_temp_file): Return a path specific to
	the runtest invocation.

[PATCH 1/2] testsuite: Fix save-trace.exp writing outside standard output directory

[Simon Marchi]

In save-trace.exp, we want to test loading of a tracepoint definition
file with a relative path (I am not sure why in fact).  We currently use
"savetrace-relative.tr", which ends up directly in testsuite/.  If we
use [standard_output_file] on that path, it becomes absolute.  I decided
to just replace [pwd] with . (a dot) in the path given by
standard_output_file to make it relative.  However, this trick only
works because [pwd] is a prefix of the standard output directory.  So I
added a check to verify that precondition.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.trace/save-trace.exp: Change relative path to be in the
	standard output directory.

Both patches are pushed, with the typo in this one fixed.

Thanks!
