What file would this attribute be on? What would consume it? I'm imagining that there's some enclave in a file crypto_thingy.enclave. There's also a file crypto_thingy.sigstruct. crypto_thingy.enclave has type lib_t or similar so that it's executable. crypto_thingy.sigstruct has type sgx_sigstruct_t. The enclave loader does, in effect: void *source_data = mmap(crypto_thingy.enclave, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, ...); int sigstruct_fd = open("crypto_thingy.sigstruct", O_RDONLY); int enclave_fd = open("/dev/sgx/enclave", O_RDWR); ioctl(enclave_fd, SGX_IOC_ADD_SOME_DATA, source_data + source_offset, enclave_offset, len, ...); ioctl(enclave_fd, SGX_IOC_ADD_SOME_DATA, source_data + source_offset2, enclave_offset2, len, ...); etc. /* Here's where LSMs get to check that the sigstruct is acceptable. The CPU will check that the sigstruct matches the enclave. */ ioctl(enclave_fd, SGX_INIT_THE_ENCLAVE, sigstruct_fd); /* Actually map the thing */ mmap(enclave_fd RO section, PROT_READ, ...); mmap(enclave_fd RW section, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, ...); mmap(enclave_fd RX section, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, ...); /* This should fail unless EXECMOD is available, I think */ mmap(enclave_fd RWX section, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC); And the idea here is that, if the .enclave file isn't mapped PROT_EXEC, then mmapping the RX section will also require EXECMEM or EXECMOD.
