In the seq_hex_dump function,the remaining variable is int, but it receive a type of size_t argument.
So I change the type of remaining

The changelog should explain _why_ we need this fix. Is any of the code
path overflowing?

Besides that I do not think this fix is complete. What about linelen?

Why do we even need len to be size_t? Why it cannot be int as well. I
strongly doubt we need more than 32b here.

Although you may well want 'unsigned int' to avoid the sign extension
instruction that gets added for x86_64 when a signed int is added
to a pointer.
