From: Gabriel Somlo <somlo@xxxxxxx>
Each fw_cfg entry of type "file" has an associated 56-char,
nul-terminated ASCII string which represents its name. While
the fw_cfg device doesn't itself impose any specific naming
convention, QEMU developers have traditionally used path name
semantics (i.e. "etc/acpi/rsdp") to descriptively name the
various fw_cfg "blobs" passed into the guest.
This patch attempts, on a best effort basis, to create a
directory hierarchy representing the content of fw_cfg file
names, under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_name.
Upon successful creation of all directories representing the
"dirname" portion of a fw_cfg file, a symlink will be created
to represent the "basename", pointing at the appropriate
/sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key entry. If a file name is not
suitable for this procedure (e.g., if its basename or dirname
components collide with an already existing dirname component
or basename, respectively) the corresponding fw_cfg blob is
skipped and will remain available in sysfs only by its selector
key value.

entry via the control register, and reading a number
of bytes equal to the blob size from the data
register.
+
+ --- Listing fw_cfg blobs by file name ---
+
+ While the fw_cfg device does not impose any specific naming
+ convention on the blobs registered in the file directory,
+ QEMU developers have traditionally used path name semantics
+ to give each blob a descriptive name. For example:
+
+ "bootorder"
+ "genroms/kvmvapic.bin"
+ "etc/e820"
+ "etc/boot-fail-wait"
+ "etc/system-states"
+ "etc/table-loader"
+ "etc/acpi/rsdp"
+ "etc/acpi/tables"
+ "etc/smbios/smbios-tables"
+ "etc/smbios/smbios-anchor"
+ ...
+
+ In addition to the listing by unique selector key described
+ above, the fw_cfg sysfs driver also attempts to build a tree
+ of directories matching the path name components of fw_cfg
+ blob names, ending in symlinks to the by_key entry for each
+ "basename", as illustrated below (assume current directory is
+ /sys/firmware):
+
+ qemu_fw_cfg/by_name/bootorder -> ../by_key/38
+ qemu_fw_cfg/by_name/etc/e820 -> ../../by_key/35
+ qemu_fw_cfg/by_name/etc/acpi/rsdp -> ../../../by_key/41
+ ...
+
+ Construction of the directory tree and symlinks is done on a
+ "best-effort" basis, as there is no guarantee that components
+ of fw_cfg blob names are always "well behaved". I.e., there is
+ the possibility that a symlink (basename) will conflict with
+ a dirname component of another fw_cfg blob, in which case the
+ creation of the offending /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_name
+ entry will be skipped.
+
+ The authoritative list of entries will continue to be found
+ under the /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key directory.
