[PATCH v24 21/24] x86/vdso: Add __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() to wrap SGX enclave transitions

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) introduces a new CPL3-only enclave
mode that runs as a sort of black box shared object that is hosted by an
untrusted normal CPL3 process.

Skipping over a great deal of gory architecture details[1], SGX was
designed in such a way that the host process can utilize a library to
build, launch and run an enclave. This is roughly analogous to how
e.g. libc implementations are used by most applications so that the
application can focus on its business logic.

The big gotcha is that because enclaves can generate *and* handle
exceptions, any SGX library must be prepared to handle nearly any
exception at any time (well, any time a thread is executing in an
enclave). In Linux, this means the SGX library must register a
signal handler in order to intercept relevant exceptions and forward
them to the enclave (or in some cases, take action on behalf of the
enclave). Unfortunately, Linux's signal mechanism doesn't mesh well
with libraries, e.g. signal handlers are process wide, are difficult
to chain, etc... This becomes particularly nasty when using multiple
levels of libraries that register signal handlers, e.g. running an
enclave via cgo inside of the Go runtime.

In comes vDSO to save the day. Now that vDSO can fixup exceptions,
add a function, __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave(), to wrap enclave transitions
and intercept any exceptions that occur when running the enclave.

__vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() does NOT adhere to the x86-64 ABI and instead
uses a custom calling convention. The primary motivation is to avoid
issues that arise due to asynchronous enclave exits. The x86-64 ABI
requires that EFLAGS.DF, MXCSR and FCW be preserved by the callee, and
unfortunately for the vDSO, the aformentioned registers/bits are not
restored after an asynchronous exit, e.g. EFLAGS.DF is in an unknown
state while MXCSR and FCW are reset to their init values. So the vDSO
cannot simply pass the buck by requiring enclaves to adhere to the
x86-64 ABI. That leaves three somewhat reasonable options:

1) Save/restore non-volatile GPRs, MXCSR and FCW, and clear EFLAGS.DF

+ 100% compliant with the x86-64 ABI
+ Callable from any code
+ Minimal documentation required
- Restoring MXCSR/FCW is likely unnecessary 99% of the time
- Slow

2) Save/restore non-volatile GPRs and clear EFLAGS.DF

+ Mostly compliant with the x86-64 ABI
+ Callable from any code that doesn't use SIMD registers
- Need to document deviations from x86-64 ABI, i.e. MXCSR and FCW

3) Require the caller to save/restore everything.

+ Fast
+ Userspace can pass all GPRs to the enclave (minus EAX, RBX and RCX)
- Custom ABI
- For all intents and purposes must be called from an assembly wrapper

__vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() implements option (3). The custom ABI is
mostly a documentation issue, and even that is offset by the fact that
being more similar to hardware's ENCLU[EENTER/ERESUME] ABI reduces the
amount of documentation needed for the vDSO, e.g. options (2) and (3)
would need to document which registers are marshalled to/from enclaves.
Requiring an assembly wrapper imparts minimal pain on userspace as SGX
libraries and/or applications need a healthy chunk of assembly, e.g. in
the enclave, regardless of the vDSO's implementation.

Note, the C-like pseudocode describing the assembly routine is wrapped
in a non-existent macro instead of in a comment to trick kernel-doc into
auto-parsing the documentation and function prototype. This is a double
win as the pseudocode is intended to aid kernel developers, not userland
enclave developers.

+ * __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() - Enter an SGX enclave
+ * @leaf: ENCLU leaf, must be EENTER or ERESUME
+ * @tcs: TCS, must be non-NULL
+ * @e: Optional struct sgx_enclave_exception instance
+ * @handler: Optional enclave exit handler
+ *
+ * **Important!** __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() is **NOT** compliant with the
+ * x86-64 ABI, i.e. cannot be called from standard C code.
+ *
+ * Input ABI:
+ * @leaf %eax
+ * @tcs 8(%rsp)
+ * @e 0x10(%rsp)
+ * @handler 0x18(%rsp)
+ *
+ * Output ABI:
+ * @ret %eax
+ *
+ * All general purpose registers except RAX, RBX and RCX are passed as-is to
+ * the enclave. RAX, RBX and RCX are consumed by EENTER and ERESUME and are
+ * loaded with @leaf, asynchronous exit pointer, and @tcs respectively.
+ *
+ * RBP and the stack are used to anchor __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() to the
+ * pre-enclave state, e.g. to retrieve @e and @handler after an enclave exit.
+ * All other registers are available for use by the enclave and its runtime,
+ * e.g. an enclave can push additional data onto the stack (and modify RSP) to
+ * pass information to the optional exit handler (see below).
+ *
+ * Most exceptions reported on ENCLU, including those that occur within the
+ * enclave, are fixed up and reported synchronously instead of being delivered
+ * via a standard signal. Debug Exceptions (#DB) and Breakpoints (#BP) are
+ * never fixed up and are always delivered via standard signals. On synchrously
+ * reported exceptions, -EFAULT is returned and details about the exception are
+ * recorded in @e, the optional sgx_enclave_exception struct.
+
+ * If an exit handler is provided, the handler will be invoked on synchronous
+ * exits from the enclave and for all synchronously reported exceptions. In
+ * latter case, @e is filled prior to invoking the handler.
+ *
+ * The exit handler's return value is interpreted as follows:
+ * >0: continue, restart __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() with @ret as @leaf
+ * 0: success, return @ret to the caller
+ * <0: error, return @ret to the caller
+ *
+ * The userspace exit handler is responsible for unwinding the stack, e.g. to
+ * pop @e, u_rsp and @tcs, prior to returning to __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave().
+ * The exit handler may also transfer control, e.g. via longjmp() or a C++
+ * exception, without returning to __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave().
+ *
+ * Return:
+ * 0 on success,
+ * -EINVAL if ENCLU leaf is not allowed,
+ * -EFAULT if an exception occurs on ENCLU or within the enclave
+ * -errno for all other negative values returned by the userspace exit handler
