x86/sgx/virt: implement SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE ioctl

For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees
SGX state at reboot.  For instance, all pages start out uninitialized.
The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened
vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in
uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot.

Some userspace implementations of virtual SGX would rather avoid having
to close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the
virtual EPC.  For example, they could sandbox themselves after the guest
starts and forbid further calls to open(), in order to mitigate exploits
from untrusted guests.

Therefore, add a ioctl that does this with EREMOVE.  Userspace can
invoke the ioctl to bring its vEPC pages back to uninitialized state.
There is a possibility that some pages fail to be removed if they are
SECS pages, and the child and SECS pages could be in separate vEPC
regions.  Therefore, the ioctl returns the number of EREMOVE failures,
telling userspace to try the ioctl again after it's done with all
vEPC regions.  A more verbose description of the correct usage and
the possible error conditions is documented in sgx.rst.

@ -250,3 +250,38 @@ user wants to deploy SGX applications both on the host and in guests
on the same machine, the user should reserve enough EPC (by taking out
total virtual EPC size of all SGX VMs from the physical EPC size) for
host SGX applications so they can run with acceptable performance.
Architectural behavior is to restore all EPC pages to an uninitialized
state also after a guest reboot. Because this state can be reached only
through the privileged ``ENCLS[EREMOVE]`` instruction, ``/dev/sgx_vepc``
provides the ``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL`` ioctl to execute the instruction
on all pages in the virtual EPC.
``EREMOVE`` can fail for three reasons. Userspace must pay attention
to expected failures and handle them as follows:
1. Page removal will always fail when any thread is running in the
enclave to which the page belongs. In this case the ioctl will
return ``EBUSY`` independent of whether it has successfully removed
some pages; userspace can avoid these failures by preventing execution
of any vcpu which maps the virtual EPC.
2. Page removal will cause a general protection fault if two calls to
``EREMOVE`` happen concurrently for pages that refer to the same
"SECS" metadata pages. This can happen if there are concurrent
invocations to ``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL``, or if a ``/dev/sgx_vepc``
file descriptor in the guest is closed at the same time as
``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL``; it will also be reported as ``EBUSY``.
This can be avoided in userspace by serializing calls to the ioctl()
and to close(), but in general it should not be a problem.
3. Finally, page removal will fail for SECS metadata pages which still
have child pages. Child pages can be removed by executing
``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL`` on all ``/dev/sgx_vepc`` file descriptors
mapped into the guest. This means that the ioctl() must be called
twice: an initial set of calls to remove child pages and a subsequent
set of calls to remove SECS pages. The second set of calls is only
required for those mappings that returned a nonzero value from the
first call. It indicates a bug in the kernel or the userspace client
if any of the second round of ``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL`` calls has
a return code other than 0.
