x86/vdso: Implement a vDSO for Intel SGX enclave call
Enclaves encounter exceptions for lots of reasons: everything from enclave page faults to NULL pointer dereferences, to system calls that must be “proxied” to the kernel from outside the enclave. In addition to the code contained inside an enclave, there is also supporting code outside the enclave called an “SGX runtime”, which is virtually always implemented inside a shared library. The runtime helps build the enclave and handles things like *re*building the enclave if it got destroyed by something like a suspend/resume cycle. The rebuilding has traditionally been handled in SIGSEGV handlers, registered by the library. But, being process-wide, shared state, signal handling and shared libraries do not mix well. Introduce a vDSO function call that wraps the enclave entry functions (EENTER/ERESUME functions of the ENCLU instruciton) and returns information about any exceptions to the caller in the SGX runtime. Instead of generating a signal...
