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. + + +Cgroup Support +============== + +The "sgx_epc" resource within the Miscellaneous cgroup controller regulates distribution of SGX +EPC memory, which is a subset of system RAM that is used to provide SGX-enabled applications +with protected memory, and is otherwise inaccessible, i.e. shows up as reserved in /proc/iomem +and cannot be read/written outside of an SGX enclave. + +Although current systems implement EPC by stealing memory from RAM, for all intents and +purposes the EPC is independent from normal system memory, e.g. must be reserved at boot from +RAM and cannot be converted between EPC and normal memory while the system is running. The EPC +is managed by the SGX subsystem and is not accounted by the memory controller. Note that this +is true only for EPC memory itself, i.e. normal memory allocations related to SGX and EPC +memory, e.g. the backing memory for evicted EPC pages, are accounted, limited and protected by +the memory controller. + +Much like normal system memory, EPC memory can be overcommitted via virtual memory techniques +and pages can be swapped out of the EPC to their backing store (normal system memory allocated +via shmem). The SGX EPC subsystem is analogous to the memory subsystem, and it implements +limit and protection models for EPC memory. + +SGX EPC Interface Files +----------------------- + +For a generic description of the Miscellaneous controller interface files, please see +Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst + +All SGX EPC memory amounts are in bytes unless explicitly stated otherwise. If a value which +is not PAGE_SIZE aligned is written, the actual value used by the controller will be rounded +down to the closest PAGE_SIZE multiple. + + misc.capacity + A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup. The sgx_epc resource will + show the total amount of EPC memory available on the platform. + + misc.current + A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups. The sgx_epc resource will + show the current active EPC memory usage of the cgroup and its descendants. EPC pages + that are swapped out to backing RAM are not included in the current count. + + misc.max + A read-write single value file which exists on non-root cgroups. The sgx_epc resource + will show the EPC usage hard limit. The default is "max". + + If a cgroup's EPC usage reaches this limit, EPC allocations, e.g. for page fault + handling, will be blocked until EPC can be reclaimed from the cgroup. If there are no + pages left that are reclaimable within the same group, the kernel returns ENOMEM. + + The EPC pages allocated for a guest VM by the virtual EPC driver are not reclaimable by + the host kernel. In case the guest cgroup's limit is reached and no reclaimable pages + left in the same cgroup, the virtual EPC driver returns SIGBUS to the user space + process to indicate failure on new EPC allocation requests. + + The misc.max limit is non-preemptive. If a user writes a limit lower than the current + usage to this file, the cgroup will not preemptively deallocate pages currently in use, + and will only start blocking the next allocation and reclaiming EPC at that time. + + misc.events + A read-only flat-keyed file which exists on non-root cgroups. + A value change in this file generates a file modified event. + + max + The number of times the cgroup has triggered a reclaim + due to its EPC usage approaching (or exceeding) its max + EPC boundary. + +Migration +--------- + +Once an EPC page is charged to a cgroup (during allocation), it remains charged to the original +cgroup until the page is released or reclaimed. Migrating a process to a different cgroup +doesn't move the EPC charges that it incurred while in the previous cgroup to its new cgroup.
