EREMOVE takes a page and removes any association between that page and
an enclave. It must be run on a page before it can be added into another
enclave. Currently, EREMOVE is run as part of pages being freed into the
SGX page allocator. It is not expected to fail, as it would indicate a
use-after-free of EPC pages. Rather than add the page back to the pool
of available EPC pages, the kernel intentionally leaks the page to avoid
additional errors in the future.
However, KVM does not track how guest pages are used, which means that
SGX virtualization use of EREMOVE might fail. Specifically, it is
legitimate that EREMOVE returns SGX_CHILD_PRESENT for EPC assigned to
KVM guest, because KVM/kernel doesn't track SECS pages.
To allow SGX/KVM to introduce a more permissive EREMOVE helper and
to let the SGX virtualization code use the allocator directly, break
out the EREMOVE call from the SGX page allocator. Rename the original
sgx_free_epc_page() to sgx_encl_free_epc_page(), indicating that
it is used to free an EPC page assigned to a host enclave. Replace
sgx_free_epc_page() with sgx_encl_free_epc_page() in all call sites so
there's no functional change.
At the same time, improve the error message when EREMOVE fails, and
add documentation to explain to the user what that failure means and
to suggest to the user what to do when this bug happens in the case it
happens.
