Merge tag 'x86_sgx_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 SGC support from Borislav Petkov:
"Intel Software Guard eXtensions enablement. This has been long in the
making, we were one revision number short of 42. :)
Intel SGX is new hardware functionality that can be used by
applications to populate protected regions of user code and data
called enclaves. Once activated, the new hardware protects enclave
code and data from outside access and modification.
Enclaves provide a place to store secrets and process data with those
secrets. SGX has been used, for example, to decrypt video without
exposing the decryption keys to nosy debuggers that might be used to
subvert DRM. Software has generally been rewritten specifically to run
in enclaves, but there are also projects that try to run limited
unmodified software in enclaves.
Most of the functionality is concentrated into arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/
except the addition of a new mprotect() hook to control enclave page
permissions and support for vDSO exceptions fixup which will is used
by SGX enclaves.
All this work by Sean Christopherson, Jarkko Sakkinen and many others"
