[PATCH v3 7/7] x86/sgx: Add documentation for SGX memory errors

[Tony Luck]

Error handling is a bit different for SGX pages. Add a section describing
how asynchronous and consumed errors are handled and the two new
debugfs files that show the count and list of pages with uncorrected
memory errors.

+Uncorrected memory errors
+=========================
+Systems that support machine check recovery and have local machine
+check delivery enabled can recover from uncorrected memory errors in
+many situations.
+
+Errors in SGX pages that are not currently in use will prevent those
+pages from being allocated.
+
+Errors asynchronously reported against active SGX pages will simply note
+that the page has an error. If the enclave terminates without accessing
+the page Linux will not return it to the free list for reallocation.
+
+When an uncorrected memory error is consumed from within an enclave the
+h/w will mark that enclave so that it cannot be re-entered.  Linux will
+send a SIGBUS to the current task.
+
+In addition to console log entries from processing the machine check or
+corrected machine check interrupt, Linux also provides debugfs files to
+indicate the number of SGX enclave pages that have reported errors and
+the physical addresses of each page:
+
+/sys/kernel/debug/sgx/poison_page_count
+
+/sys/kernel/debug/sgx/poison_page_list
