Enclave pages can be added to an initialized enclave when an address belonging to the enclave but without a backing page is accessed from within the enclave. Accessing memory without a backing enclave page from within an enclave can be in different ways: 1) Pre-emptively run ENCLU[EACCEPT]. Since the addition of a page always needs to be accepted by the enclave via ENCLU[EACCEPT] this flow is efficient since the first execution of ENCLU[EACCEPT] triggers the addition of the page and when execution returns to the same instruction the second execution would be successful as an acceptance of the page. 2) A direct read or write. The flow where a direct read or write triggers the page addition execution cannot resume from the instruction (read/write) that triggered the fault but instead the enclave needs to be entered at a different entry point to run needed ENCLU[EACCEPT] before execution can return to the original entry point and the read/write instruction that faulted. Add tests for both flows.

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.
