Userspace would obviously need to be aware of the fixup behavior, but it actually works out fairly nicely to have a separate path for ERESUME fixup since a fault on EENTER is generally fatal, whereas as a fault on ERESUME might be recoverable. do_eenter: mov tcs, %rbx lea async_exit, %rcx mov $EENTER, %rax ENCLU /* * EEXIT or EENTER faulted. In the latter case, %RAX already holds some * fault indicator, e.g. -EFAULT. */ eexit_or_eenter_fault: ret async_exit: ENCLU fixup_handler: > How averse would everyone be to making enclave entry be a syscall? > The user code would do sys_sgx_enter_enclave(), and the kernel would > stash away the register state (vm86()-style), point RIP to the vDSO's > ENCLU instruction, point RCX to another vDSO ENCLU instruction, and > SYSRET.
