[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 0/2] Implement Hex file loader and add test case

[Su Hang]

These series of patchs implement Intel Hexadecimal File loader and
add QTest testcase to verify the correctness of Loader.

v1: 
--  Basic version.

v2: 
--  Replace `do{}while(cond);` block with `for(;;)` block.

v3: 
--  Add two new files information in MAINTAINERS.

v4: 
--  Correct the 'test.hex' path in hexloader-test.c.

v5: 
--  Split huge parse_hex_blob() function into four small function;
--  Add check for memory bounds;
--  Check validation for Record type;
--  Replace function ctoh() with glib function g_ascii_xdigit_value();
--  Remove check for '.hex' suffix;
--  Remove unnecessary type cast;
--  Remove duplicate zero-initialization;
--  Correct typos;

v6: 
--  Call Intel HEX loader after load_uimage_as();
--  Remove use of KERNEL_LOAD_ADDR;
--  Change (hwaddr) type argument to (hwaddr *) type;
--  Use new struct HexParser to contain all arguments needed by
        handle_record_type();
--  Enable discontiguous data records (again);
--  Remove unnecessary memory clean: bin_buf and HexLine line;
--  Correct typo;
--  Remove unnecessary check for hex file size;
--  Add entry point handle for START_SEG_ADDR_RECORD and
        START_LINEAR_ADDR_RECORD record type;
--  Use hwaddr * type to store entry point;

v7: 
--  Remove unnecessary code style changes;
--  Replace `bool` with `size_t` for function `parse_record` return type;
--  Replace `int` with `size_t` for struct `HexParser` member field
        `total_size` type;
--  Replace `int` with `size_t` for function `handle_record_type` return type;
--  Return an error when encountered unimplemented data type
        `START_SEG_ADDR_RECORD`;
--  Add check for `START_LINEAR_ADDR_RECORD` data type:
        byte_count == 4 and address == 0;
--  Rename struct `HexParser` member field `addr` to `start_addr`;
--  Replace `int` with `size_t` for function `parse_hex_blob` return type;
--  Stop incrementing `record_index` when encountered whitespace;
--  Replace
    `if ((record_index >> 1) - LEN_EXCEPT_DATA != parser.line.byte_count)`
    with
    `if ((LEN_EXCEPT_DATA + parser.line.byte_count) * 2 != record_index)`
--  Remove unused field `max_sz`;
--  Replace `int` with `size_t` for local variable `total_size`
        in function `parse_hex_blob`
--  Rename function `load_image_targphys_hex_as` argument `addr` to `entry`;
