[PATCH v3 0/4] Fix error handling for callers of load_image_targphys, get_image_size, event_notifier_init, msix_init

[Trieu Huynh]

Changes in v3:
- Patch 1: For next-cube, use a local Error* instead of &error_fatal
so that load failures are reported only when !qtest_enabled(),
matching the existing guard. Distinguishes "file not found" (error
set) from "file too short" (no error, size < 8) in next-cube.
(pointed out by Peter Maydell)
- Patch 2: Drop leon3.c change: warning is meaningless for baremetal
programs where no BIOS is expected, and error handling already
exists downstream. (pointed out by Clément Chigot)
- Patch 3: No code changes. Add Reviewed-by tags.
- Patch 4: Replace error_propagate() with conditional errp passing:
(s->msix == ON_OFF_AUTO_ON ? errp : NULL), avoiding the need for
a local error variable. (pointed out by Akihiko Odaki)

[PATCH v3 1/4] hw/core/loader: fix error handling for load_image_targphys callers

[Trieu Huynh]

Use QEMU's Error API to handle load_image_targphys() failures
consistently across callers.

- Use &error_fatal for callers that previously passed NULL, ensuring
the process exits early on failure instead of continuing in an invalid
state.
- No functional changes.

[PATCH v3 2/4] hw/core/loader: fix error handling for get_image_size callers

[Trieu Huynh]

Check the return value of get_image_size() and report failures
for non-mandatory file such as FRU image.

- Use ret < 0 to detect failures in getting image size.
- No functional changes.

This changes the error message with no firmware from:
qemu-system-m68k: Failed to load firmware 'Rev_2.5_v66.bin'.

to:
qemu-system-m68k: Could not open 'Rev_2.5_v66.bin': No such file or directory

We lose the mention that this is the firmware blob,
but gain the more specific error message. That's OK,
I guess.

Both before and afterwards, once we've printed the message
we go ahead and run the machine, which immediately takes a
double mmu fault and aborts. No change with this patch,
so no problem.

Yes, this makes sense.  You want to do this through my tree, or do you
have another way you want to get it in?
