[v6,3/3] x86/sgx: Fine grained SGX MCA behavior for virtualization

Commit Message

Today, if a guest accesses an SGX EPC page with memory failure,
the kernel behavior will kill the entire guest.  This blast
radius is too large.  It would be idea to kill only the SGX
application inside the guest.

To fix this, send a SIGBUS to host userspace (like QEMU) which can
follow up by injecting a #MC to the guest.

SGX virtual EPC driver doesn't explicitly prevent virtual EPC instance
being shared by multiple VMs via fork().  However KVM doesn't support
running a VM across multiple mm structures, and the de facto userspace
hypervisor (Qemu) doesn't use fork() to create a new VM, so in practice
this should not happen.

Changes since V5:
- Use the 'vepc_vaddr' field instead of casting the 'owner' field.
- Clean up the commit message suggested by Dave.

- Add Reviewed-by from Jarkko.

Changes since V4:
- Switch the order of the two variables so all of variables are in
  reverse Christmas style.
- Do not initialize "ret" because it will be overridden by the return
  value of force_sig_mceerr() unconditionally.

Changes since V2:
- Retrieve virtual address from "owner" field of struct sgx_epc_page,
  instead of struct sgx_vepc_page.
- Replace EPC page flag SGX_EPC_PAGE_IS_VEPC with
  SGX_EPC_PAGE_KVM_GUEST as they are duplicated.

Changes since V1:
- Add Acked-by from Kai Huang.
- Add Kai's excellent explanation regarding to why we no need to
  consider that one virtual EPC be shared by two guests.
