From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>
Background
==========
1. SGX enclave pages are populated with data by copying from normal memory
via ioctl() (SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_ADD_PAGES), which will be added later in
this series.
2. It is desirable to be able to restrict those normal memory data sources.
For instance, to ensure that the source data is executable before
copying data to an executable enclave page.
3. Enclave page permissions are dynamic (just like normal permissions) and
can be adjusted at runtime with mprotect().
This creates a problem because the original data source may have long since
vanished at the time when enclave page permissions are established (mmap()
or mprotect()).
The solution (elsewhere in this series) is to force enclaves creators to
declare their paging permission *intent* up front to the ioctl(). This
intent can be immediately compared to the source data’s mapping and
rejected if necessary.
The “intent” is also stashed off for later comparison with enclave
PTEs. This ensures that any future mmap()/mprotect() operations
performed by the enclave creator or done on behalf of the enclave
can be compared with the earlier declared permissions.
Problem
=======
There is an existing mmap() hook which allows SGX to perform this
permission comparison at mmap() time. However, there is no corresponding
->mprotect() hook.
Solution
========
Add a vm_ops->mprotect() hook so that mprotect() operations which are
inconsistent with any page's stashed intent can be rejected by the driver.

Changes from v40:
* Move mprotect_fixup() outside of the callback. This keeps mm internals
outside of the callback.
