POC kernel code, 64-bit only.

Limiting this to 64-bit isn't necessary, but it makes the code prettier
and allows using REX as the magic prefix. I like the idea of using REX
because it seems least likely to be repurposed for yet another new
feature. I have no idea if 64-bit only will fly with the SDK folks.

Going off comments in similar code related to UMIP, we'd need to figure
out how to handle protection keys.


/* REX with all bits set, ignored by ENCLU. */
#define SGX_DO_ENCLU_FIXUP 0x4F

#define SGX_ENCLU_OPCODE0 0x0F
#define SGX_ENCLU_OPCODE1 0x01
#define SGX_ENCLU_OPCODE2 0xD7

/* ENCLU is a three-byte opcode, plus one byte for the magic prefix. */
#define SGX_ENCLU_FIXUP_INSN_LEN 4

static int sgx_detect_enclu(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
unsigned char buf[SGX_ENCLU_FIXUP_INSN_LEN];

/* Look for EENTER or ERESUME in RAX, 64-bit mode only. */
if (!regs || (regs->ax != 2 && regs->ax != 3) || !user_64bit_mode(regs))
return 0;

if (copy_from_user(buf, (void __user *)(regs->ip), sizeof(buf)))
return 0;

if (buf[0] == SGX_DO_ENCLU_FIXUP &&
buf[1] == SGX_ENCLU_OPCODE0 &&
buf[2] == SGX_ENCLU_OPCODE1 &&
buf[3] == SGX_ENCLU_OPCODE2)
return SGX_ENCLU_FIXUP_INSN_LEN;

return 0;
}

bool sgx_fixup_enclu_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr,
unsigned long error_code, unsigned long address)
{
int insn_len;

insn_len = sgx_detect_enclu(regs);
if (!insn_len)
return false;

regs->ip += insn_len;
regs->ax = EFAULT;
regs->di = trapnr;
regs->si = error_code;
regs->dx = address;
return true;
}
