x86/sgx: Support modifying SGX page type
Every enclave contains one or more Thread Control Structures (TCS). The
TCS contains meta-data used by the hardware to save and restore thread
specific information when entering/exiting the enclave. With SGX1 an
enclave needs to be created with enough TCSs to support the largest
number of threads expecting to use the enclave and enough enclave pages
to meet all its anticipated memory demands. In SGX1 all pages remain in
the enclave until the enclave is unloaded.
SGX2 introduces a new function, ENCLS[EMODT], that is used to change
the type of an enclave page from a regular (SGX_PAGE_TYPE_REG) enclave
page to a TCS (SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TCS) page or change the type from a
regular (SGX_PAGE_TYPE_REG) or TCS (SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TCS)
page to a trimmed (SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TRIM) page (setting it up for later
removal).
With the existing support of dynamically adding regular enclave pages
to an initialized enclave and changing the page type to TCS it is
possible to dynamically increase the number of threads supported by an
enclave.
Changing the enclave page type to SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TRIM is the first step
of dynamically removing pages from an initialized enclave. The complete
page removal flow is:
1) Change the type of the pages to be removed to SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TRIM
using the SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_MODIFY_TYPES ioctl() introduced here.
2) Approve the page removal by running ENCLU[EACCEPT] from within
the enclave.
3) Initiate actual page removal using the ioctl() introduced in the
following patch.
Add ioctl() SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_MODIFY_TYPES to support changing SGX
enclave page types within an initialized enclave. With
SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_MODIFY_TYPES the user specifies a page range and the
enclave page type to be applied to all pages in the provided range.
The ioctl() itself can return an error code based on failures
encountered by the kernel. It is also possible for SGX specific
failures to be encountered. Add a result output parameter to
communicate the SGX return code. It is possible for the enclave page
type change request to fail on any page within the provided range.
Support partial success by returning the number of pages that were
successfully changed.
After the page type is changed the page continues to be accessible
from the kernel perspective with page table entries and internal
state. The page may be moved to swap. Any access until ENCLU[EACCEPT]
will encounter a page fault with SGX flag set in error code.
