But just want to make sure, what is the current SGX driver ABI (around mmap()) from your perspective? Is it "SGX driver _requires_ pgoff to be 0 for non-ELRANGE-reserve mmap()", or "SGX driver _ignores_ pgoff"? See below ...

Enclave's base isn't established yet, so theoretically, from enclave's perspective, we cannot say it has a mismatched offset. However we may want to return -EINVAL if userspace passes a non-zero pgoff in the mmap(/dev/sgx_enclave) to reserve ELRANGE. Anyway reserving ELRANGE isn't the big point. The SGX driver ABI is. Let's forget about reserving ELRANGE in below context, i.e., all mmap() below means non-ELRANGE-reserve mmap(/dev/sgx_enclave) :) I think yes marking enclave as "has_mismatched_offsets" works if userspace wants to use file-based ABIs (fadvice(), etc) for enclave, but this effectively means Haitao needs to modify _ALL_ existing mmap()s to pass the correct pgoff in order to use fadvice() for EAUG. Therefore, it seems more like we are changing ABI (or having a new ABI) to: Userspace must pass the correct pgoff to all mmaps() in order to use file-based ABIs for SGX. ( Because I think other drivers/subsystems doesn't have such limitation. For instance, for a normal file, userspace can have two mmap()s mapping to the same offset of the same file but with different address, and fadvice() should work for both mappings. A VMA-based "has_mismatched_offset" seems more reasonable for SGX but as I mentioned previously it may not easy to do from SGX driver. ) So I am not sure whether this belongs to "breaking existing ABI"? If the current ABI is we _require_ pgoff being zero, then the "encl- >has_mismatched_offsets" seems is breaking this ABI. If the current ABI is we _ignore_ pgoff, then "encl->has_mismatched_offsets" isn't breaking existing ABI. But in this case why do we need this at all? SGX driver just follows the existing file-based ABIs: If userspace wants to use file-based ABIs for some VMA, it needs to pass the correct pgoff. If not, file-based ABIs won't work for that VMA, but your enclave may still work if you don't use file-based ABIs. Sorry for being noisy, but does above make sense?
