[RFC PATCH v2 4/5] LSM: x86/sgx: Introduce ->enclave_load() hook for Intel SGX

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Jun 05 2019 - 22:16:16 EST


enclave_load() is roughly analogous to the existing file_mprotect().

Due to the nature of SGX and its Enclave Page Cache (EPC), all enclave
VMAs are backed by a single file, i.e. /dev/sgx/enclave, that must be
MAP_SHARED. Furthermore, all enclaves need read, write and execute
VMAs. As a result, the existing/standard call to file_mprotect() does
not provide any meaningful security for enclaves since an LSM can only
deny/grant access to the EPC as a whole.

security_enclave_load() is called when SGX is first loading an enclave
page, i.e. copying a page from normal memory into the EPC. Although
the prototype for enclave_load() is similar to file_mprotect(), e.g.
SGX could theoretically use file_mprotect() and set reqprot=prot, a
separate hook is desirable as the semantics of an enclave's protection
bits are different than those of vmas, e.g. an enclave page tracks the
maximal set of protections, whereas file_mprotect() operates on the
actual protections being provided. In other words, LSMs will likely
want to implement different policies for enclave page protections.

Note, extensive discussion yielded no sane alternative to some form of
SGX specific LSM hook[1].
