+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 there are no pages left that are reclaimable within the same
+ group, the kernel returns ENOMEM.
+
+ The EPC pages allocated for a guest VM by the virtual EPC driver are not
+ reclaimable by the host kernel. In case the guest cgroup's limit is
+ reached and no reclaimable pages left in the same cgroup, the virtual
+ EPC driver returns SIGBUS to the user space process to indicate failure
+ on new EPC allocation requests.
+
+ The misc.max limit is non-preemptive. If a user writes a limit lower
+ than the current usage to this file, the cgroup will not preemptively
+ deallocate pages currently in use, and will only start blocking the next
+ allocation and reclaiming EPC at that time.
+
+ 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.
