[V3,20/30] Documentation/x86: Introduce enclave runtime management section

Commit Message

Reinette Chatre April 4, 2022, 4:49 p.m. UTC

Enclave runtime management is introduced following the pattern
of the section describing enclave building. Provide a brief
summary of enclave runtime management, pointing to the functions
implementing the ioctl()s that will contain details within their
kernel-doc.

Changes since V2:
- Remove references to ioctl() to relax permissions and update to reflect
  function renaming sgx_ioc_enclave_restrict_perm() ->
  sgx_ioc_enclave_restrict_permissions().
- Rename sgx_ioc_enclave_modt -> sgx_ioc_enclave_modify_type

Changes since V1:
- New patch.

+Enclave runtime management
+--------------------------
+
+Systems supporting SGX2 additionally support changes to initialized
+enclaves: modifying enclave page permissions and type, and dynamically
+adding and removing of enclave pages. When an enclave accesses an address
+within its address range that does not have a backing page then a new
+regular page will be dynamically added to the enclave. The enclave is
+still required to run EACCEPT on the new page before it can be used.
