While loading the executable, some platforms (like AVR) need to
detect CPU type that executable is built for - and, with this patch,
this is enabled by reading the field 'e_flags' of the ELF header of
the executable in question. The change expands functionality of
the following functions:
- load_elf()
- load_elf_as()
- load_elf_ram()
- load_elf_ram_sym()
The argument added to these functions is called 'pflags' and is of
type 'uint32_t*' (that matches 'pointer to 'elf_word'', 'elf_word'
being the type of the field 'e_flags', in both 32-bit and 64-bit
variants of ELF header). Callers are allowed to pass NULL as that
argument, and in such case no lookup to the field 'e_flags' will
happen, and no information will be returned, of course.

[Rebased onto merge commit 95a9457fd44; missed instances of qom/cpu.h
in comments replaced]
In my "build everything" tree, changing hw/qdev-properties.h triggers
a recompile of some 2700 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).
Many places including hw/qdev-properties.h (directly or via hw/qdev.h)
actually need only hw/qdev-core.h. Include hw/qdev-core.h there
instead.
hw/qdev.h is actually pointless: all it does is include hw/qdev-core.h
and hw/qdev-properties.h, which in turn includes hw/qdev-core.h.
Replace the remaining uses of hw/qdev.h by hw/qdev-properties.h.
While there, delete a few superfluous inclusions of hw/qdev-core.h.
Touching hw/qdev-properties.h now recompiles some 1200 objects.

In my "build everything" tree, changing sysemu/reset.h triggers a
recompile of some 2600 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and

The main culprit is hw/hw.h, which supposedly includes it for

Include sysemu/reset.h only where it's needed. Touching it now
recompiles less than 200 objects.

This patch adds an optional function pointer, 'elf_note_fn', to
load_elf() which causes load_elf() to additionally parse any
ELF program headers of type PT_NOTE and check to see if the ELF
Note is of the type specified by the 'translate_opaque' arg.
If a matching ELF Note is found then the specfied function pointer
is called to process the ELF note.
Passing a NULL function pointer results in ELF Notes being skipped.
The first consumer of this functionality is the PVHboot support
which needs to read the XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_ENTRY ELF Note while
loading the uncompressed kernel binary in order to discover the
boot entry address for the x86/HVM direct boot ABI.

The generic-loader is currently compiled target specific due to one
single "#ifdef TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN" in the file. We have already a
function called target_words_bigendian() for this instead, so we can
put the generic-loader into common-obj to save some compilation time.

Each device that is instantiatable by the users should be marked with
a category. Since the generic-loader does not fit anywhere else, put
it into the MISC category.

This patch adds Intel Hexadecimal Object File format support to the
generic loader device. The file format specification is available here:
http://www.piclist.com/techref/fileext/hex/intel.htm
This file format is often used with microcontrollers such as the
micro:bit, Arduino, STM32, etc. Users expect to be able to run .hex
files directly with without first converting them to ELF. Most
micro:bit code is developed in web-based IDEs without direct user access
to binutils so it is important for QEMU to handle this file format
natively.

The documentation for the generic loader claims that you can
set the PC for a CPU with an option of the form
-device loader,cpu-num=0,addr=0x10000004
However if you try this QEMU complains:
cpu_num must be specified when setting a program counter
This is because we were testing against 0 rather than CPU_NONE.

When running QEMU with "-M none -device loader,file=kernel.elf", it
currently crashes with a segmentation fault, because the "none"-machine
does not have any CPU by default and the generic loader code tries
to dereference s->cpu. Fix it by adding an appropriate check for a
NULL pointer.

Add a generic loader to QEMU which can be used to load images or set
memory values.
Internally inside QEMU this is a device. It is a strange device that
provides no hardware interface but allows QEMU to monkey patch memory
specified when it is created. To be able to do this it has a reset
callback that does the memory operations.
This device allows the user to monkey patch memory. To be able to do
this it needs a backend to manage the datas, the same as other
memory-related devices. In this case as the backend is so trivial we
have merged it with the frontend instead of creating and maintaining a
seperate backend.
