Short Version:
The SGX section->laundry_list structure is effectively thread-local, but
declared next to some shared structures. Its semantics are clear as mud.
Fix that. No functional changes. Compile tested only.
Long Version:
The SGX hardware keeps per-page metadata. This can provide things like
permissions, integrity and replay protection. It also prevents things
like having an enclave page mapped multiple times or shared between
enclaves.
But, that presents a problem for kexec()'d kernels (or any other kernel
that does not run immediately after a hardware reset). This is because
the last kernel may have been rude and forgotten to reset pages, which
would trigger the "shared page" sanity check.
To fix this, the SGX code "launders" the pages by running the EREMOVE
instruction on all pages at boot. This is slow and can take a long
time, so it is performed off in the SGX-specific ksgxd instead of being
synchronous at boot. The init code hands the list of pages to launder in
a per-SGX-section list: ->laundry_list. The only code to touch this list
is the init code and ksgxd. This means that no locking is necessary for
->laundry_list.
However, a lock is required for section->page_list, which is accessed
while creating enclaves and by ksgxd. This lock (section->lock) is
acquired by ksgxd while also processing ->laundry_list. It is easy to
confuse the purpose of the locking as being for ->laundry_list and
->page_list.
Rename ->laundry_list to ->init_laundry_list to make it clear that this
is not normally used at runtime. Also add some comments clarifying the
locking, and reorganize 'sgx_epc_section' to put 'lock' near the things
it protects.
Note: init_laundry_list is 128 bytes of wasted space at runtime. It
could theoretically be dynamically allocated and then freed after
the laundering process. But it would take nearly 128 bytes of extra
instructions to do that.

Just like normal RAM, there is a limited amount of enclave memory available
and overcommitting it is a very valuable tool to reduce resource use.
Introduce a simple reclaim mechanism for enclave pages.
In contrast to normal page reclaim, the kernel cannot directly access
enclave memory. To get around this, the SGX architecture provides a set of
functions to help. Among other things, these functions copy enclave memory
to and from normal memory, encrypting it and protecting its integrity in
the process.
Implement a page reclaimer by using these functions. Picks victim pages in
LRU fashion from all the enclaves running in the system. A new kernel
thread (ksgxswapd) reclaims pages in the background based on watermarks,
similar to normal kswapd.
All enclave pages can be reclaimed, architecturally. But, there are some
limits to this, such as the special SECS metadata page which must be
reclaimed last. The page version array (used to mitigate replaying old
reclaimed pages) is also architecturally reclaimable, but not yet
implemented. The end result is that the vast majority of enclave pages are
currently reclaimable.

Intel(R) SGX is a new hardware functionality that can be used by
applications to set aside private regions of code and data called
enclaves. New hardware protects enclave code and data from outside
access and modification.
Add a driver that presents a device file and ioctl API to build and
manage enclaves.

Add functions for runtime allocation and free.
This allocator and its algorithms are as simple as it gets. They do a
linear search across all EPC sections and find the first free page. They
are not NUMA-aware and only hand out individual pages. The SGX hardware
does not support large pages, so something more complicated like a buddy
allocator is unwarranted.
The free function (sgx_free_epc_page()) implicitly calls ENCLS[EREMOVE],
which returns the page to the uninitialized state. This ensures that the
page is ready for use at the next allocation.

Although carved out of normal DRAM, enclave memory is marked in the
system memory map as reserved and is not managed by the core mm. There
may be several regions spread across the system. Each contiguous region
is called an Enclave Page Cache (EPC) section. EPC sections are
enumerated via CPUID
Enclave pages can only be accessed when they are mapped as part of an
enclave, by a hardware thread running inside the enclave.
Parse CPUID data, create metadata for EPC pages and populate a simple
EPC page allocator. Although much smaller, ‘struct sgx_epc_page’
metadata is the SGX analog of the core mm ‘struct page’.
Similar to how the core mm’s page->flags encode zone and NUMA
information, embed the EPC section index to the first eight bits of
sgx_epc_page->desc. This allows a quick reverse lookup from EPC page to
EPC section. Existing client hardware supports only a single section,
while upcoming server hardware will support at most eight sections.
Thus, eight bits should be enough for long term needs.
