[PATCH v2] x86/sgx: Add a basic NUMA allocation scheme to sgx_alloc_epc_page()

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Tue Feb 23 2021 - 16:37:00 EST


Background
==========

EPC section is covered by one or more SRAT entries that are associated with
one and only one PXM (NUMA node). The motivation behind this patch is to
provide basic elements of building allocation scheme based on this premise.

It does not try to fully address NUMA. For instance, it does not provide
integration to the mempolicy API, but neither does introduce any
bottlenecks to address this later on. Memory allocation is a complex topic,
and thus it's better to start with baby steps.

Solution
========

Use phys_to_target_node() to associate each NUMA node with the EPC sections
contained within its range.

In sgx_alloc_epc_page(), first try to allocate from the NUMA node, where
the CPU is executing. If that fails, fallback to the legacy allocation.

v2:
* s/section_list/numa_section_list/
* s/MAX_NUMNODES//num_possible_nodes()/
* Add more verbose inline comments that Dave provided.
* If NUMA mapping fails, print a warning and description of the fallbck.
The physical address is alredy printed in pr_info(), just before the
mapping happens.
