The SGX selftests can fail for a bunch of non-obvious reasons
like 'noexec' permissions on /dev (which is the default *EVERYWHERE*
it seems).
A new test mistakenly also looked for +x permission on the
/dev/sgx_enclave. File execute permissions really only apply to
the ability of execve() to work on a file, *NOT* on the ability
for an application to map the file with PROT_EXEC. SGX needs to
mmap(PROT_EXEC), but doesn't need to execve() the device file.
Remove the check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
