SGX isn't in this version's implementation's scope, like nested LAM.

LAM in SGX enclave mode is not the scope of the this version.
But I think since the capability is exposed to guest, need to cover the case if the guest use the supervisor mode pointer as the operand of SGX EENCS operations.



Also the instruction INVLPG, INVPCID should have some special
handling
since LAM is not applied to the memory operand of the two
instruction
according to the LAM spec.
The spec's meaning on these 2 is: LAM masking doesn't apply to their
operands (the address), so the behavior is like before LAM feature
introduced. No change.

Yes, LAM are not applied to the 2 instrustions, but the __linearize is changed. For example, the emulation of invlpg (em_invpg) will also call it. So need to handle the case specificlly. Can add a flag as the input of linearize to indicate the LAM check and untag is needed or not.



+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64

The modified LAM canonical check for LAM_U57 + 4-level paging is:
bit
63, bit 56:47 should be all 0s.

Yes, this case was missed. Chao's suggestion on signed-extend + legacy
canonical check can cover this.
