Background
==========

EPC section is covered by one or more SRAT entries that are associated with
one and only one PXM (NUMA node). The motivation behind this patch is to
provide basic elements of building allocation scheme based on this premise.

Just like normal RAM, enclave memory (EPC) should be covered by entries
in the ACPI SRAT table.  These entries allow each EPC section to be
associated with a NUMA node.

Use this information to implement a simple NUMA-aware allocator for
enclave memory.

Solution
========

Use phys_to_target_node() to associate each NUMA node with the EPC
sections contained within its range. In sgx_alloc_epc_page(), first try
to allocate from the NUMA node, where the CPU is executing. If that
fails, allocate from other nodes, iterating them from the current node
in order.

Other
=====

NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO dependency is required for phys_to_target_node().

v4:
* Cycle nodes instead of a global page list, starting from the node
  of the current thread.
* Documented NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO dependency to the commit message.
* Added NUMA node pointer to struct sgx_epc_section. EPC page should
  reference to a section, since potentially a node could have multiple
  sections (Intel SDM does not say anything explicit about this).
  This the safest play.
* Remove nodes_clear(sgx_numa_node_mask).
* Appended Dave's additions to the commit message for the background
  section.

We *can* have also epc_page->node by:

- Considering the first section as the EPC of that node.
- Printing a warning if more sections hit the same node, and
  ignoring them.
- Merging sgx_numa_node and sgx_epc_section

I think this would be a decent idea. I think it's a sane assumption that
a node has a single EPC section, but it's good to have that warning just
in case.

I did not want to do this into this version because it's faster for me
to refactor into this assumption than revert back.

A better set of background information here would also remind folks what
an 'EPC section' is.

SGX enclave memory is enumerated by the processor in contiguous physical
ranges called "EPC sections".  Currently, there is a free list per
section, but allocations simply target the lowest-numbered sections.
This is functional, but has no NUMA awareness.

Fortunately, EPC sections are covered by entries in the ACPI SRAT table.
 These entries allow each EPC section to be associated with a NUMA node,
just like normal RAM.

To me, this is just telling us what the code does.  It's not very
useful.  I'd say:

Implement a NUMA-aware enclave page allocator.  Mirror the buddy
allocator and maintain a list of enclave pages for each NUMA node.
Attempt to allocate enclave memory first from local nodes, then fall
back to other nodes.

Note that the fallback is not as sophisticated as the buddy allocator
and is itself not aware of NUMA distances.  When a node's free list is
empty, it searches for the next-highest node with enclave pages (and
will wrap if necessary).  This could be improved in the future.

Reading the changelog, it's not obvious that you're talking about a
Kconfig variable here.

I was also thinking, this says:

	# Keep arch NUMA mapping infrastructure post-init.
	config NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO
	        bool

But we only need it during SGX init.  Could you explain a bit why it's
needed here specifically?  Superficially it seems like we only need this
info *during* init.

I don't think this mask check is super necessary.  It won't ever trigger
for the "fallback" path.  For the node-local allocation, I guess it
saves a cacheline (node->free_page_list).

I don't think we need to tell folks how allocators work: that "free" and
"alloc" are opposites.

I think returning NULL from a allocator is probably OK.  Folks
understand that NULL means ENOMEM.

One nit: This can _theoretically_ livelock.  Preemption is enabled here
and numa_node_id() can change.  It's theoretically possible that
numa_node_id()!=nid forever.

The way to prevent this is to read numa_node_id() once and then compare
'nid' against that single read.

I guess you probably wrote it this way because you prefer it.  But, this
can be written with a single call to __sgx_alloc_epc_page_from_node().

The rest looks OK.

I don't actually know what exactly they are, because SDM's definition
is not very rigorous ;-)

I.e. it is not too precise between NUMA node and section relationship.

Well, numa_meminfo is a static variable of mm/numa.c, so we cannot directly
access it. And phys_to_numa_node(), which accesses its data, does not
exist, unless NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO is defined.

So, yes, theoretically we could pull the data withotu NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO,
but thise would require to numa_meminfo a global variable.

We do not care about post-init part, in that sense you are right.
