Might not fit: with pci we can have 256 nested buses.
How about simply null-terminating each path?

Document return value + parameters as well?

devpath is allocated with strdup, not qemu_malloc,
so I guess it should be freed with free?
Alternatively, let's add qemu_strdup
Might be a good idea: fix error handling here and elsewhere.

More then 256 _boot_ devices. I think this is more then reasonable.

Theoretically. But will it practically happen?

Will be harder for Seabios. I can use more then one byte for length, but
I tried to avoid endianess handling.

There is code that do it like this all over qemu.

I started to implement this to OpenBIOS but I noticed a small issue.
First the first byte must be read to determine length. Then the read
routine will be called again to read the correct amount of bytes. This
would work, but since there is no shortage of IDs, I'd prefer a system
where one ID is used to query the length and another ID is used to
read the data, without the length byte. This is similar how command
line, initrd etc. are handled.

This would have the advantage that since fw_cfg uses little endian
format, the length value would easily scale to for example 64 bits to
support terabytes of boot device lists. ;-)

Yea. Let's just print # of devices as a property, in ASCII.
No endian-ness, no nothing.
Also - can we just NULL-terminate each ID?

Why not? It's easy to specify this on qemu command line.
You do nothing to detect this and gracefully fail either, do you?

I think it will be easier if we don't try to do this in one pass.
1. pass: calculate total length and # of devices
2. allocate
2. pass fill in

No, we should use LE numbers like other IDs. To be more specific, this
is what I meant (instead of FW_CFG_BOOTINDEX):
FW_CFG_BOOTINDEX_LEN: get LE integer length of the boot device data.
FW_CFG_BOOTINDEX_DATA: get the boot device data as NUL terminated C
strings, all strings back-to-back. The reader can determine number of
strings.

This should be
#define FW_CFG_MAX_ENTRY        (FW_CFG_BOOTINDEX + 1)
because the check is like this:
    if ((key & FW_CFG_ENTRY_MASK) >= FW_CFG_MAX_ENTRY) {
        s->cur_entry = FW_CFG_INVALID;

With that change, I got the bootindex passed to OpenBIOS:
OpenBIOS for Sparc64
Configuration device id QEMU version 1 machine id 0
kernel cmdline
CPUs: 1 x SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi
UUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
bootindex num_strings 1
bootindex /pbm@000001fe00000000/ide@5/drive@1/disk@0

The device path does not match exactly, but it's close:
/pci@1fe,0/pci-ata@5/ide1@600/disk@0

Why not just return a newline separated list that is null terminated?

Doing it like this will needlessly complicate firmware side. How do you
know how much memory to allocate before reading device list? Doing it
like Blue suggest (have BOOTINDEX_LEN and BOOTINDEX_STRING) solves this.
To create nice array from bootindex string you firmware will still have
to do additional pass on it though. With format like above the code
would look like that:

qemu_cfg_read(&n, 1);
arr = alloc(n);
for (i=0; i<n; i++) {
 qemu_cfg_read(&l, 1);
 arr[i] = zalloc(l+1);
 qemu_cfg_read(arr[i], l);
}

Do a memory scan, count newlines until you reach 0?

Why is this a problem? Pass over memory is cheap, isn't it?

At this point I don't care about format.
But I would like one without 1-byte-length limitations,
just so we can cover whatever pci can through at us.

To do memory scan you need to read it into memory first. To read it into
memory you need to know how much memory to allocate to know how much
memory to allocate you meed to do memory scan... Notice pattern here :)
Of course you can scan IO space too discarding everything you read first
time, but why introduce broken interface in the first place?

More code, each line of code potentially introduce bug. But I will go with

I do.

I agree. 1-byte for one device string may be to limiting. It is still
more then 15 PCI bridges on a PC and if you have your pci bus go that
deep you are doing something very wrong. But according to spec device
name can be 32 byte long and device address may be 64bit physical
address and that makes length of one device element to be 50 byte.

My preference would be for the size to be exposed via the
QEMU_CFG_FILE_DIR selector.  (My preference would be for all objects
in fw_cfg to have entries in QEMU_CFG_FILE_DIR describing their size
in a reliable manner.)

Will interface suggested by Blue will be good for you? The one with two
fw_cfg ids. BOOTINDEX_LEN for len and BOOTINDEX_DATA for device list. I
already changed my implementation to this one. Using FILE_DIR requires
us to generate synthetic name. Hmm BTW I do not see proper endianness
handling in FILE_DIR.

I dislike how different fw_cfg objects pass the length in different
ways (eg, QEMU_CFG_E820_TABLE passes length as first 4 bytes).  This
is a common problem - I'd prefer if we could adopt one uniform way of
passing length.  I think QEMU_CFG_FILE_DIR solves this problem well.

I also have an ulterior motive here.  If the boot order is exposed as
a newline separated list via an entry in QEMU_CFG_FILE_DIR, then this
becomes free for coreboot users as well.  (On coreboot, the boot order
could be placed in a "file" in flash with no change to the seabios
code.)

Looking at available fw cfg option I see that _SIZE _DATA is also a
common pattern. The problem with QEMU_CFG_FILE_DIR is that we have very
little available slots right now. If we a going to require everything to
use it we better grow number of available slots considerably now while
it is easily done (no option defined above file slots yet).

I personally do not have preferences one way or the other. Blue are you
OK with using QEMU_CFG_FILE_DIR?

You can define get_boot_order() function and implement it differently
for qemu and coreboot. For coreboot it will be one linear. Just call
cbfs_copyfile("bootorder"). BTW why newline separation is important?

Sure, but it'd be nice to just use romfile_copy("bootorder").

Using newline separated just makes it easier for users to vi and/or
cat the file.

FW_CFG_FILE_DIR seems to be a bit poorly designed. Maybe we should
deprecate it and design a more scalable model. There are also string
variables passed to BIOS (-prom-env for Sparc/PPC) which could then
use this new model instead of NVRAM.

That would also work.

Newline and zero are both OK since neither can appear inside a valid boot path.
