[PATCH for_v29 v2 0/5] x86/sgx: Make vDSO callable from C

[PATCH for_v29 v2 0/5] x86/sgx: Make vDSO callable from C

[Sean Christopherson]

Nathaniel pointed out that __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() is tantalizingly
close to being callable from C (with caveats and a cooperative enclave).
The missing pieces are preserving %rbx and taking @leaf as a standard
parameter.

v2:
  - Rebase to Jarkko's latest master, commit 402fb35a477a, "docs: ...")
  - Add CFI directive for RBX. [Cedric]

v1:
  - https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11446355/

[PATCH for_v29 v2 1/5] x86/sgx: vdso: Make __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() callable from C code

[Sean Christopherson]

Make __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() callable from C by preserving %rbx
and taking @leaf in %rcx instead of %rax.  Being able to invoke the vDSO
from C reduces the overhead of runtimes that are tightly coupled with
their enclaves, e.g. that can rely on the enclave to save and restore
non-volatile registers, as the runtime doesn't need an assembly wrapper
to preserve non-volatile registers and/or shuffle stack arguments.

Note, both %rcx and %rbx are consumed by EENTER/ERESUME, i.e. consuming
them doesn't violate the primary tenet of __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave()
that "thou shalt not restrict how information is exchanged between an
enclave and its host process".

I'd simply put **NOTE** here instead of **Important!** as it is more
common.

Instead "e.g. doesn't explcitly clear EFLAGS.DF after EEXIT" (which is
somewhat confusing statement) paragraph should be replaced with a simple
enumerated list of differences.

Something might be left out but that's cool. Just do your best and it
can refined over time to be more exact.

I don't think the list is that simple, e.g. there is a lot of state that
is defined by the ABI that isn't touched, IMO talking about that state will
add confusion.

I also don't understand what's confusing about stating EFLAGS.DF isn't
cleared.

Too much time was has passed since the last version, and too many
patches have been reviewed since.

Please just refresh the way you feel best and I will make conclusions
based on that. It's faster that way in the end.

[PATCH for_v29 v2 2/5] x86/sgx: vdso: Define a typedef for __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave

[Sean Christopherson]

Define a typedef for the __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() prototype and move
the entire function comment from the assembly code to the uAPI header,
dropping the kernel doc hack along the way.

[PATCH for_v29 v2 3/5] selftests/sgx: Pass EENTER to vDSO wrapper instead of hardcoding

[Sean Christopherson]

Pass EENTER to the vDSO wrapper via %ecx instead of hardcoding it to
make the wrapper compatible with the new vDSO calling convention.

I think it'd be good if you merge 1/5-3/5 and 4/5-55 to have two patches.

Easier to review given the strong bounds, easier for you to update
and easier for me to merge later on.

[PATCH for_v29 v2 4/5] selftests/sgx: Stop clobbering non-volatile registers

[Sean Christopherson]

Stop clearing non-volatile registers in the enclave's trampoline code,
there are no secrets to preserve, and not clobbering the registers makes
the enclave compatible with calling the vDSO from C.

Hmm... Not sure I understand what you want to know.

A raw binary requires a hardcoded way to interpret it. Obviously ELF
is for better.

This statement seems like you are juxtaposing having
__vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() be potentially C-compatible with having an
ELF-loader. These are not incompabile. __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() can
be C-callable *and* you can have an ELF loader.

We (Enarx) implement an ELF loader.

I'm not honestly sure what this is about but my comment was about heavy
rebasing of the GIT tree as I rewrote the selftest last week.

Okay. Let's chalk it up to miscommunication then. :)

Ha, I was in the same boat as Nathaniel.  We thought the "having a real
ELF loader comment" was a comment on the patch itself, i.e. that you
disagreed with it in some way because it didn't support an ELF loader,
hence our confusion.

Now I realize you were refering to the rebase needed due to rewriting the
selftest to use an ELF loader.  Crisis aborted :-)

Yeah, lets bring a background :-)

Last week basically rewrote the self-test. It now directly loads ELF and
dynamically signs that. Thus, the codebase has been kind of moving
target for a while. I'm absolutely for these changes as soon as the
form fits to the existing codebase.
