Would you be able to send the entire dmesg, along with:
cat /proc/iomem # (as root)
and
cpuid -1 --raw
I'm suspecting either a BIOS problem. Reinette (cc'd) also thought this
might be a case of the SGX initialization getting a bit too far along
when it should have been disabled.
We had some bugs where we didn't stop fast enough after spitting out the
"SGX Launch Control is locked..." errors.
For some reason the pages do not get properly sanitized:
/* sanity check: */
WARN_ON(!list_empty(&sgx_dirty_page_list));
EPC should be good, given that EREMOVE does not fail.
If SGX would be disabled, also EREMOVE should fail.
Sorry forgot that in no circumstances we're printing the
error code inside __sgx_sanitize_pages(). I wrote a quick
patch to address this (attached) [*].
Paul,
Any chance to try the patch out?
Yes, I am going to try it in the next days.
It's pretty hard to attach e.g. kprobe to grab this info. Does it
reproduce every single time?
Yes, on each boot up.
Alternatively: what kind of workload is triggering this?
I do own 2020 model XPS13, which might be able to
reproduce the same issue.
The Dell XPS 13 9370 is from 2018 (Intel i5-8350U), so no idea if it
happens with later processors.
Kind regards,
Paul
