I don't think I understand your proposal.  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.
