Just like normal RAM, there is a limited amount of enclave memory available
and overcommitting it is a very valuable tool to reduce resource use.
Introduce a simple reclaim mechanism for enclave pages.
In contrast to normal page reclaim, the kernel cannot directly access
enclave memory. To get around this, the SGX architecture provides a set of
functions to help. Among other things, these functions copy enclave memory
to and from normal memory, encrypting it and protecting its integrity in
the process.
Implement a page reclaimer by using these functions. Picks victim pages in
LRU fashion from all the enclaves running in the system. A new kernel
thread (ksgxswapd) reclaims pages in the background based on watermarks,
similar to normal kswapd.
All enclave pages can be reclaimed, architecturally. But, there are some
limits to this, such as the special SECS metadata page which must be
reclaimed last. The page version array (used to mitigate replaying old
reclaimed pages) is also architecturally reclaimable, but not yet
implemented. The end result is that the vast majority of enclave pages are
currently reclaimable.

Enclaves have two basic states. They are either being built and are
malleable and can be modified by doing things like adding pages. Or,
they are locked down and not accepting changes. They can only be run
after they have been locked down. The ENCLS[EINIT] function induces the
transition from being malleable to locked-down.
Add an ioctl() that performs ENCLS[EINIT]. After this, new pages can
no longer be added with ENCLS[EADD]. This is also the time where the
enclave can be measured to verify its integrity.

Add an ioctl() that performs the ECREATE function of the ENCLS
instruction, which creates an SGX Enclave Control Structure (SECS).
Although the SECS is an in-memory data structure, it is present in
enclave memory and is not directly accessible by software.

Intel(R) SGX is a new hardware functionality that can be used by
applications to set aside private regions of code and data called
enclaves. New hardware protects enclave code and data from outside
access and modification.
Add a driver that presents a device file and ioctl API to build and
manage enclaves.
