[PATCH v4 3/3] x86/sgx: Add a basic NUMA allocation scheme to sgx_alloc_epc_page()

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Sat Mar 13 2021 - 11:02:43 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.

Just like normal RAM, enclave memory (EPC) should be covered by entries
in the ACPI SRAT table. These entries allow each EPC section to be
associated with a NUMA node.

Use this information to implement a simple NUMA-aware allocator for
enclave memory.

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, allocate from other nodes, iterating them from the current node
in order.

Other
=====

NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO dependency is required for phys_to_target_node().

v4:
* Cycle nodes instead of a global page list, starting from the node
of the current thread.
* Documented NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO dependency to the commit message.
* Added NUMA node pointer to struct sgx_epc_section. EPC page should
reference to a section, since potentially a node could have multiple
sections (Intel SDM does not say anything explicit about this).
This the safest play.
* Remove nodes_clear(sgx_numa_node_mask).
* Appended Dave's additions to the commit message for the background
section.
