Create a heap for the test enclave, which has the same size as all available Enclave Page Cache (EPC) pages in the system. This will guarantee that all test_encl.elf pages *and* SGX Enclave Control Structure (SECS) have been swapped out by the page reclaimer during the load time. Actually, this adds a bit more stress than that since part of the EPC gets reserved for the Version Array (VA) pages. For each test, the page fault handler gets triggered in two occasions: - When SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_INIT is performed, SECS gets swapped in by the page fault handler. - During the execution, each page that is referenced gets swapped in by the page fault handler.
If I understand this correctly, all EPC pages are now being consumed during fixture setup and thus every SGX test, no matter how big or small, now becomes a stress test of the reclaimer instead of there being a unique reclaimer test. Since an enclave is set up and torn down for every test this seems like a significant addition. It also seems like this would impact future tests of dynamic page addition where not all scenarios could be tested with all EPC pages already consumed.
