* [PATCH] x86/sgx: Pass userspace source address directly to EADD

  To: Jarkko Sakkinen; +Cc: linux-sgx, Andy Lutomirski

Invoke EADD with the userspace source address instead of first copying
the data to a kernel page to avoid the overhead of alloc_page() and
copy_from_user().

Remove all pre-validation of TCS pages.  The source page is no longer
readily available since it's not copied into the kernel, and validating
the TCS essentially requires accessing the entire page since the vast
majority of the TCS is reserved bytes.  Given that userspace can now
cause EADD to fault simply by passing a bad pointer, validating the TCS
to avoid faults on EADD provides little to no value.

AFAICT, gup() would also work, but I don't think it gains us anything,
e.g. validating the TCS still doesn't work because nothing prevents
userspace from scribbling the TCS page after it's checked by the kernel.
If we run into a scenario where we need to check the TCS, e.g. to prevent
using a feature the kernel doesn't support, then we'd have no choice but
to copy it into kernel memory[*].

Going with gup() would be a little more code, and maybe an imperceptibly
small performance hit, but otherwise the two options are more or less the
same.

I (obviously) have a slight preference for passing the userspace address
directly to EADD, but I'm ok with either approach unless the gup code ends
up being particularly ugly.

[*] While typing this out I realized we *must* copy the SECS into kernel
    memory for ECREATE, otherwise the kernel would be susceptible to
    TOCTOU attacks on the allowed attributes.  Probably worth a comment.

Lets stick to what was merged.
