+Cgroup Support
+==============
+
+The "sgx_epc" resource within the Miscellaneous cgroup controller regulates
+distribution of SGX EPC memory, which is a subset of system RAM that
+is used to provide SGX-enabled applications with protected memory,
+and is otherwise inaccessible, i.e. shows up as reserved in
+/proc/iomem and cannot be read/written outside of an SGX enclave.
+
+Although current systems implement EPC by stealing memory from RAM,
+for all intents and purposes the EPC is independent from normal system
+memory, e.g. must be reserved at boot from RAM and cannot be converted
+between EPC and normal memory while the system is running. The EPC is
+managed by the SGX subsystem and is not accounted by the memory
+controller. Note that this is true only for EPC memory itself, i.e.
+normal memory allocations related to SGX and EPC memory, e.g. the
+backing memory for evicted EPC pages, are accounted, limited and
+protected by the memory controller.
+
+Much like normal system memory, EPC memory can be overcommitted via
+virtual memory techniques and pages can be swapped out of the EPC
+to their backing store (normal system memory allocated via shmem).
+The SGX EPC subsystem is analogous to the memory subsystem, and
+it implements limit and protection models for EPC memory.
+
+SGX EPC Interface Files
+-----------------------
+
+For a generic description of the Miscellaneous controller interface
+files, please see Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst
+
+All SGX EPC memory amounts are in bytes unless explicitly stated
+otherwise. If a value which is not PAGE_SIZE aligned is written,
+the actual value used by the controller will be rounded down to
+the closest PAGE_SIZE multiple.
+
+ misc.capacity
+ A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup.
+ The sgx_epc resource will show the total amount of EPC
+ memory available on the platform.
+
+ misc.current
+ A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups.
+ The sgx_epc resource will show the current active EPC memory
+ usage of the cgroup and its descendants. EPC pages that are
+ swapped out to backing RAM are not included in the current count.
+
+ misc.max
+ A read-write single value file which exists on non-root
+ cgroups. The sgx_epc resource will show the EPC usage
+ hard limit. The default is "max".
+
+ If a cgroup's EPC usage reaches this limit, EPC allocations,
+ e.g. for page fault handling, will be blocked until EPC can
+ be reclaimed from the cgroup. If EPC cannot be reclaimed in
+ a timely manner, reclaim will be forced, e.g. by ignoring LRU.
+
+ The EPC pages allocated for KVM guests by the virtual EPC driver
+ are not reclaimable by the host kernel SGX reclaimers. If a VMM
+ tries to start a VM within a cgroup whose EPC usage reaches this
+ limit, the virtual EPC driver will stop allocating more EPC for the
+ VM, and return SIGBUS to the VMM which would abort the VM launch.
+
+ misc.events
+ A read-only flat-keyed file which exists on non-root cgroups.
+ A value change in this file generates a file modified event.
+
+ max
+ The number of times the cgroup has triggered a reclaim
+ due to its EPC usage approaching (or exceeding) its max
+ EPC boundary.
+
+Migration
+---------
+
+Once an EPC page is charged to a cgroup (during allocation), it
+remains charged to the original cgroup until the page is released
+or reclaimed. Migrating a process to a different cgroup doesn't
+move the EPC charges that it incurred while in the previous cgroup
+to its new cgroup.
