The ERESUME trampoline would only be invoked for exceptions that aren't transferred to userspace. On #BR, #UD, etc..., the kernel would fixup %RIP to effectively point at @fault_handler. Userspace can then do whatever it wants to handle the fault, e.g. do EENTER if the fault needs to be serviced by the enclave. > Userspace may want fine-grained control over enclave scheduling (e.g. > SGX-Step) Uh, isn't SGX-Step an attack on SGX? Preventing userspace from playing games with enclave scheduling seems like a good thing.
