First version of series was submitted with incomplete fixes as RFC V1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/cover.1651171455.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com/

Changes since RFC V1:
- Remaining issue was root-caused with debugging help from Dave.
  Patch 4/5 is new and eliminates all occurences of the ENCLS[ELDU] related
  WARN.
- Drop "x86/sgx: Do not free backing memory on ENCLS[ELDU] failure" from
  series. ENCLS[ELDU] failure is not recoverable so it serves no purpose to
  keep the backing memory that could not be restored to the enclave.
- Patch 1/5 is new and refactors sgx_encl_put_backing() to only put
  references to pages and not also mark the pages as dirty. (Dave)
- Mark PCMD page dirty before (not after) writing data to it. (Dave)
- Patch 5/5 is new and adds debug code to WARN if PCMD page is ever
  found to contain data after it is truncated. (Dave)

Hi Everybody,

Haitao reported encountering the following WARN while stress testing SGX
with the SGX2 series [1] applied:

ELDU returned 1073741837 (0x4000000d)
WARNING: CPU: 72 PID: 24407 at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/encl.c:81 sgx_encl_eldu+0x3cf/0x400

</TASK>

ENCLS[ELDU] is returning a #GP when attempting to load an enclave
page from the backing store into the enclave.

Haitao's stress testing involves running two concurrent loops of the SGX2
selftests on a system with 4GB EPC memory. One of the tests is modified
to reduce the oversubscription heap size:


I learned the following during investigation of the issue:
* Reverting commit 08999b2489b4 ("x86/sgx: Free backing memory after
  faulting the enclave page") resolves the issue. With that commit
  reverted the concurrent selftest loops can run to completion without
  encountering any WARNs.

* The issue is also resolved if only the calls (introduced by commit
  08999b2489b4 ("x86/sgx: Free backing memory after faulting the enclave
  page") ) to sgx_encl_truncate_backing_page() within __sgx_encl_eldu()
  are disabled.

* ENCLS[ELDU] faults with #GP when the provided PCMD data is all zeroes.

The fixes in this series address scenarios where the PCMD data in the
backing store may not be correct. There are no occurences of the
WARN when the stress testing is performed with this series applied.

Thank you very much

If the the test compiled with above snippet is renamed as "test_sgx_small"
and the original renamed as "test_sgx_large" the two concurrent loops are
run as follows:

(for i in $(seq 1 999); do echo "Iteration $i"; sudo ./test_sgx_large; done ) > log.large 2>&1
(for i in $(seq 1 9999); do echo "Iteration $i"; sudo ./test_sgx_small; done ) > log.small 2>&1

If the SGX driver is modified to always WARN when ENCLS[ELDU] encounters a #GP
(see below) then the WARN appears after a few iterations of "test_sgx_large"
and shows up throughout the testing.
