Build SGX support directly into the kernel, utilizing syscore_ops
instead of dev_pm_ops to hook into the suspend flow.

As SGX is not treated as device anymore, maybe using arch_initcall, or
late_initcall would be better?

Using syscore_ops looks good to me.

Thanks,

Not going to take this.

I think you are looking this only from container perspective. For
desktop distribution it *does* make sense to be able to compile
this as a module.

I don't disagree that building SGX as module is valuable.  Even for
server/container/VM environments it would be nice to have the driver
built as a loadable module.

The core issue is that taking a dependency on a loadable module is
Simply not possible for a cgroup, and while possible for KVM, is not
ideal.  Various workarounds are possible, but they are either ugly,
i.e. will never be accepted upstream, or don't really solve the
problem, e.g. forcing SGX to be built-in to enable the EPC cgroup
basically forces distros to decide between the cgroup and building
SGX as a module.

I think Kai's idea to split (some of) the EPC management and the
core functionality, e.g. programing FLC MSRs, from the userspace
facing driver is probably the right long term direction.  This would
allow the EPC cgroup and KVM to take a dependency only on the core
SGX code.  Though as Kai said, this is a fairly significant code
change.  On the plus side, this change could be done after the
initial upstreaming of the SGX driver as it wouldn't be a breaking
change, e.g. distros wouldn't need to make changes to their kernel
configs.

If you're amenable (or at least not wholly opposed) to this idea,
I'll start working on a RFC patch.

IMA depends on the TPM driver and requires it to be linked directly to
the kernel if it is enabled i.e. use 'y'. It's a much better solution
and there are already existing examples of this in the mainline kernel.

It's a simpler solution, but I think taking that route will result in all
distros compiling the SGX driver as a built-in, which defeats the purpose
of allowing the SGX driver to be a loadable module.

So happens with TPM driver for most of the distros. It still gives
some flexibility and does not cause much harm.

It will also easier for me to maintain SGX tree, collect patches and
send pull requests for upper layer maintainers for future kernel
releases.

Sprinkling properly encapsulated code is really an antipattern.

There's also things when you move into maintainer mode like backporting
bug fixes for stable kernels and stuff like this. Distro maintainers and
Greg K-H will probably like the current organization more...

Hi Jarkko,

From maintain's view, I think there's already plenty examples that one
maintainer maintains files under several folders. For example, KVM
maintainer maintains files both under virt/kvm/ and arch/*/kvm/. Is
there any particular difficulty if part of SGX code is under, ex,
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/ ?

I am not sure about TPM but for SGX, but KVM actually only needs to
depend on part of your SGX code. Moving some core SGX functions to
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/ simplifies KVM and cgroup's implementation and at
meantime, provides more flexibility (ie, still allow SGX driver to be a
loadable module).

Thanks,
-Kai

Once more SGX features are added I don't think it will be possible to fully
encapsulate the SGX driver as it stands today, e.g. VMM EPC oversubscription
needs different flows for swapping pages to/from the EPC.  Splitting out the
high-level EPC control code to a separate built-in module allows the native
driver and KVM to coexist without having to make invasive changes or break
encapsulation of the native driver.  It also gives the EPC cgroup a single
touchpoint without the native SGX driver having to be aware of KVM.

Removing the dependency on the SGX driver will also allow KVM to virtualize
SGX without SGX being exposed to the native userspace.  I think we need to
support this usage model it provides the most robust environment for static
EPC partitioning for VMs, i.e. the VMM doesn't need to take additional steps
to ensure native userspace enclaves don't steal EPC pages.

There must have been a good reason to do this for kvm. There's not
reason to complicate thing for SGX.

Still don't understand why you can't just require to link SGX to vmlinux
when needed.

Right now there is no need to complicate the architecture. You can
require SGX to be linked to vmlinux.

Not sure if it makes sense to complicate things for things that do not
exist yet... I'll ignore this discussion up until there's an upstream
driver.
