Just like normal RAM, there is a limited amount of enclave memory available and overcommitting it is a very valuable tool to reduce resource use. Introduce a simple reclaim mechanism for enclave pages. In contrast to normal page reclaim, the kernel cannot directly access enclave memory. To get around this, the SGX architecture provides a set of functions to help. Among other things, these functions copy enclave memory to and from normal memory, encrypting it and protecting its integrity in the process. Implement a page reclaimer by using these functions. Picks victim pages in LRU fashion from all the enclaves running in the system. A new kernel thread (ksgxswapd) reclaims pages in the background based on watermarks, similar to normal kswapd. All enclave pages can be reclaimed, architecturally. But, there are some limits to this, such as the special SECS metadata page which must be reclaimed last. The page version array (used to mitigate replaying old reclaimed pages) is also architecturally reclaimable, but not yet implemented. The end result is that the vast majority of enclave pages are currently reclaimable.
