In English, "eventually" means: at some (unknown) time in the future, something WILL happen. In other words, the happening is certain, but the timing is not. In various European languages, a similar sounding word in many cases has the sense of "possibly" or "may happen".

I'm sorry, it's > not very clear. OK, I'll try to explain. Enclaves are blobs of executable code, running inside a CPU enforced "container", which is mapped to the process address space. It has a fixed set of entry points, defined when the enclave is created. An entry point can be passed to ENCLU opcode's subfunction EENTER, which transforms a hardware thread to enclave mode and starts executing inside the enclave. Any memory access from a thread outside the enclave causes a segfault. A process hosting an enclave, needs to handle invalid opcode CPU exceptions that the enclave generates, because many common opcodes, e.g. SYSCALL and RDTSC are not allowed inside enclaves. That's why EENTER is wrapped inside a vDSO. When a CPU exception happens, kernel and the vDSO code delegate, the exception number, error code and address back to the caller. E.g. the caller can then work as a delegate for a syscall. Any opcode that would cause a jump outside the enclave causes a CPU exception. The only way explicit way to leave the enclave is ENCLU opcode subfunction EEXIT, which moves the hardware thread away from the enclave mode, and jumps to the given target address. > > > +.PP > > +SGX can be available only if the kernel was configured and built with the > > s/can be/is/ +1 > > +.B CONFIG_X86_SGX > > +option. > > +You can verify that both the kernel and hardware have SGX enabled by > > +checking that "sgx" appears in the > > +.I flags > > +field in > > +.IR /proc/cpuinfo . > > +.PP > > +SGX must be enabled in BIOS. > > +If SGX appears to be unsupported, > > +ensure that SGX is enabled in the BIOS. > > +If a BIOS presents a choice between > > +.I Enabled > > +and > > +.I Software Enabled > > +modes for SGX, > > +choose > > +.I Enabled. > > +.PP > > +Enclaves are shared objects, meaning that > > +they can be shared with a > > +.BR cmsg (3), > > How do they get shared with cmg()?

Yes, I changed this to: " The CPU requires the size of the enclave to be power of two, at least size of a one page, and the base address to be naturally aligned with the size.

It's a topic of its own. I would focus now on these basic ioctl's, and contribute that part once these are in shape. It's disjoint in the sense that you can create and run enclaves without provisinioning. > > +.PP > > +The details of what these operations actually mean in the hardware level can be > > s/in/at/ +1 > > +found in the Intel Software Developers Manual. > > +.SS vDSO > > +A process can access enclave by entering into its address space through > > s/enclave/an enclave/ +1 > > +a set of entry points, > > +which must be defined during the construction process. > > +This requires a complex sequence of CPU instructions, > > +and kernel assisted exception handling. > > +For these reasons, > > +it is encapsulated into > > +vDSO interface, > > s/vDSO/a vDSO/ +1 > > +provided by > > +.BR vdso_sgx_enter_enclave_t, > > s/,/ ,/ +1 > > +which is located in > > s/located/declared/ ? +1 > > +.IR <asm/sgx.h>. > > +.SS Permissions > > +In order to build an enclave, a process must be able to call > > +.IR mmap (2) > > +with > > +.IR PROT_EXEC > > +set, > > +because like for any other type of executable, > > s/because like for any/because, as with any/ +1 > > +the page table permissions must be set appropriately. > > s/permissions/protections/ +1 > > +Therefore, > > +.I /dev/sgx_enclave > > +must reside in a partition, > > +which is not mounted with > > +.B noexec > > +set in the mount options. > > +.PP > > +During the build process each enclave page is assigned protection bits, > > +as part of > > +.BR ioctl(SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_ADD_PAGES). > > In the previous sentence, you use "protections".

Which do > you mean to say? It's actually the latter. SIGBUS gets thrown exactly when a thread executing inside an enclave accesses a page, which has lower defined during the build time, than those of the VMA. If that page is never accessed, then the enclave executes gracefully. The idea is to keep an invariant that the protections defined during the creation cannot be crossed. When/If we ever consider hooking into to the various LSM's, the access control decisions need to happen during the build time. That's why need to have this type of invariant already in place. Thank you for the feedback. I marked just "+1" for trivial fixups. /Jarkko
