Ah, yeah, wasn't thinking about usage models where the enclave could get passed off to a different thread. What about supporting both, i.e. keep the exit handler but make it 100% optional? And simplify the exit_handler to effectively return a boolean, i.e. "exit or continue". Something like this: notrace long __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave(u32 op, void *tcs, void *priv, struct sgx_enclave_exit_info *exit_info, sgx_enclave_exit_handler *exit_handler) { u64 rdi, rsi, rdx; u32 leaf; long ret; if (!tcs || !exit_info) return -EINVAL; enter_enclave: if (op != SGX_EENTER && op != SGX_ERESUME) return -EINVAL; <same core code> /* * Invoke the caller's exit handler if one was provided. The return * value tells us whether to re-enter the enclave (EENTER or ERESUME) * or to return (EEXIT). */ if (exit_handler) { if (exit_handler(exit_info, tcs, priv)) { op = exit_info->leaf; goto enter_enclave; } } if (exit_info->leaf == SGX_EEXIT) return -EFAULT; return 0; } I like that the exit handler allows userspace to trap/panic with the full call stack in place, and in a dedicated path, i.e. outside of the basic enter/exit code. An exit handler probably doesn't fundamentally change what userspace can do with respect to debugging/reporting, but I think it would actually simplify some userspace implementations, e.g. I'd use it in my tests like so: long fault_handler(struct sgx_enclave_exit_info *exit_info, void *tcs, void *priv) { if (exit_info->leaf == SGX_EEXIT) return 0; <report exception and die/hang> }
